Business Overview
NextTrip is an early-stage, technology-driven travel company building next-generation solutions to power the travel industry. With a suite of brands, including NextTrip Vacations, Travel Magazine, and Compass.TV, we aim to inspire and empower travel while curating personalized experiences for both leisure and business travelers. Our proprietary NXT2.0 booking engine offers extensive inventory, supporting both travelers and distributors with a platform for efficient trip planning and booking.
Our mission is to lead the travel industry forward by combining the digital innovation offered in Compass.TV and Travel Magazine with tailored travel services and booking capabilities of NextTrip. This fully integrated platform not only services traditional vacationers travel needs, but also provides users with a solution for more complex travel needs such as conferences, conventions and destination weddings through our groups widget, an under-served and emerging market. Our growth will leverage interactive technology, immersive media, and our travel expertise to deliver impactful and personalized travel solutions.
Our strategy focuses on integrating our Media and Travel divisions, offering users a comprehensive ecosystem designed to guide and support them throughout the travel experience. Presently, we generate revenue through two core methods: travel bookings and advertising revenue.
Travel bookings currently generate the majority of our revenues. This includes the sale of travel products such as airline tickets and hotel rooms as well as travel services such as travel insurance and ground activities. In the future, we plan to supplement its travel offerings by including travel technology products such as our Travel Agent and Business Travel platforms. The Company is in early-stage development but has been able to capitalize on former technology and relationships from its Bookit.com booking engine acquisition. This acquisition allowed us to reach out to past contracts and negotiate new travel product supplier agreements.
Our initial focus was to negotiate direct connectivity and fixed base pricing contracts allowing us to set our own pricing and margins for the leisure and vacation travel products. This flexibility affords us the opportunity to run specials on travel offerings that are highly competitive, but will require additional funding to support comprehensive marketing and awareness campaigns to attract new customers. Until this happens, we are working to target customers with low dollar marketing campaigns in the leisure travel spaces, as well as pursuing strategic partnerships and specialized travel offerings (i.e. Groups), while maintaining competitiveness within our marketplace through adjustment of pricing.
To supplement the supply of inventory, we have also negotiated contracts and enacted API links with Expedia and other established suppliers to provide significant additional content and product into our booking engine. The Expedia contract, along with other contracted groups, has significantly increased our product offerings, allowing us to cover other parts of the world, adding hotel properties, as well as resorts, vacation rental homes and bed and breakfast accommodations. Through these API connections, we can gain access to roughly 3 million accommodation properties worldwide. By integrating the products into our booking engine, we have the ability to adjust pricing by reducing our margins. While sales of these supplemental products through the NXT 2.0 booking engine carry lower margins versus directly contracted products, they greatly increase the NextTrip global offerings. We believe that this expanded product offering will also help support the growth of specialty travel services like NextTrip’s Groups Bookings (i.e. destination weddings, conferences and conventions) and Business Travel platforms. These types of programs require both unique technology and concierge support and services, thus falling outside of the typical online travel agency (“OTA”) business model. However, this expanded supply of travel products from large OTAs to support our platforms becomes one of mutual benefit to both parties.

Key factors that affect revenues and profitability beyond access to inventory include competitive market pressures from other travel suppliers and distributors, as well as the funding needed to enact a large enough marketing budget to create awareness. To help minimize this significant marketing budget, the Company is building its own ecosystem through Compass.TV and Travel Magazine. These media platforms are designed to allow users to explore and educate themselves on future travel. As the number of viewers/users grows, it not only determines the advertising rates the Company can charge others to promote our travel products and services to our audience, but it should also provide additional opportunities for us to promote our own travel offerings to highly targeted viewers, thus lessening the need for spending significant marketing dollars through other mediums to attract consumers.
To drive our advertising initiatives on Compass.TV, we have entered into a partnership with Leap Media Group, a respected leader with over 35 years in TV advertising, media planning and buying. Compass.TV is now equipped to deliver branded entertainment content and advertising seamlessly across its platform, supported by targeted media strategy designed to optimize revenue well delivering high quality content to travel enthusiasts. Though each division can independently drive revenue through its respective channel, we have created additional value by bringing the divisions together to create an engaging consumer-focused ecosystem. Today, we have created opportunities to seamlessly move customers from one portion of the ecosystem to the next, with the ultimate goal of influencing a travel purchase decision. As we move into the future, we will add additional revenue streams including more diversified exclusive product from around the world, niche travel segments, technology licensing and enhanced media advertising opportunities.
Organizational History
Reverse Acquisition
On October 12, 2023, the Company (formerly known as Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”), NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”) and William Kerby (the “NTH Representative”), pursuant to which the Company acquired NTH (the “Acquisition”) in exchange for shares of our common stock, which we refer to as the Exchange Shares. The Acquisition was consummated on December 29, 2023. As a result, NTH became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Field: /Page
Upon the closing of the Acquisition, the shareholders of NTG (collectively, the “NTG Sellers”), were issued a number of Exchange Shares equal to 19.99%, or 156,007 shares, of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing. Under the Share Exchange Agreement, the NTG Sellers are entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock, referred to as the Contingent Shares, subject to NTH’s achievement of future business milestones (the “Milestone Events”) specified in the Share Exchange Agreement as follows:
| Milestone
Event | Date
Earned | Contingent
Shares | Status
as of the date of this Prospectus |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Launch
of NTH’s leisure travel booking platform by either (i) achieving $1,000,000 in cumulative sales under its historical “phase
1” business, or (ii) commencement of its marketing program under its enhanced “phase 2” business. | As
of a date six months after the closing date | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares | Achieved.
Marketing program under “phase 2” has commenced. |
| Launch
of NTH’s group travel booking platform and signing of at least five (5) entities to use the groups travel booking platform. | As
of a date nine months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares | Achieved.
Five groups have been contracted to use the groups travel booking platform. |
| Launch
of NTH’s travel agent platform and signing up of at least 100 travel agents to the platform (which calculation includes individual
agents of an agency that signs up on behalf of multiple agents). | As
of a date 12 months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares | Not
achieved. Three travel agencies which employ more than 100 travel agents have been identified but not yet engaged as the technology
platform continues to be under development. |
| Commercial
launch of FlexPay technology in the NXT2.0 system. | As
of a date 15 months after the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,650,000
Contingent Shares, less the Exchange Shares issued at the closing of the Acquisition | Achieved.
FlexPay has been commercially launched. |
Alternatively, independent of the aforementioned milestones, for each month during the fifteen month period following the closing date that in which $1,000,000 or more in gross travel bookings are generated by the combined company, to the extent not previously issued, the Contingent Shares will be issuable up to the maximum Contingent Shares issuable under the Share Exchange Agreement.
The Contingent Shares, together with the shares of our common stock issued at the closing, will not exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90.2% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to the closing.
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company and Nasdaq determined that the issuance of Contingent Shares upon achievement of any one of the Milestone Events would result in a change in control of the Company under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a), the Company was required to submit an initial listing application with Nasdaq and to obtain Nasdaq approval of the initial listing application prior to the issuance of the Contingent Shares; failure to obtain such approval in advance of the Contingent Share issuance would have resulted in Nasdaq issuing the Company a delisting determination and commencing delisting proceedings with respect to its common stock.
On March 25, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had approved the Company’s initial listing application in connection with the issuance of the Contingent Shares. On March 26, 2025, the Company issued the NTG Sellers and aggregate of 4,393,993 of the Contingent Shares in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement
As a result of such approval, the issuance of the Contingent Shares was completed in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a) and the Company’s shares of common stock continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NTRP.”
As of the date of this prospectus, three of the four business milestones have been achieved, and, on March 26, 2025, were issued to the NTG Sellers. The remaining 1,450,000 Contingent Shares will be eligible for issuance upon the launch of the Company’s Travel Agent platform.
The Share Exchange Agreement provided that William Kerby, the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of NTH, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Donald P. Monaco was appointed as a director of the Company as of the closing of the Acquisition. The NTH Representative (Mr. Kerby) will be entitled to designate a replacement for one additional director of the Company upon achievement of each of the milestones under the Share Exchange Agreement. No such additional appointments have occurred to date.

Historical Monaker Group Business
NextTrip’s travel business was the principal business of NextPlay (then, Monaker Group, Inc. (“Monaker”)) until June 30, 2020, when Monaker entered into a share exchange transaction with HotPlay Enterprise Limited (“HotPlay”), resulting in HotPlay becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Monaker and HotPlay’s business becoming the principal business of Monaker. Prior to this share exchange, the primary focus of Monaker had been its travel business, which included the sale of vacation rentals, and in particular, alternative lodging rentals (“ALRs”), to consumers through its proprietary booking engine. To support its travel offerings, Monaker introduced travelmagazine.com, featuring travel and lifestyle content to appeal to travelers researching destinations and planning future vacations. In January 2023, NextPlay spun the NextTrip business out to its founders to separate it from NextPlay’s primary business. This resulted in NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”) operating the NextTrip business which was held in its wholly-owned subsidiary NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”).
Acquisition of Bookit.com Asset
Following NTH’s separation from NextPlay, NTH’s team focused on the continued technological development of its booking platform. As part of this development, NTH acquired a travel platform, Bookit.com, in June 2022 to help power NTH’s proprietary NXT2.0 booking technology. The intent with this acquisition was to integrate Bookit.com’s technology into NTH’s existing booking platform to create NXT2.0. Pursuant to the terms of Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”), in exchange for a cash payment of $600,000, NTH acquired the Bookit.com booking engine, customer lists, all content associated to hotel and destination product in the booking engine, including pictures, hotel descriptions, restaurant descriptions, room descriptions, amenity descriptions, and destination information, and source code related thereto (the “Purchased Assets”). The Purchased Assets included: (i) all permits and licenses related to the purchased assets; (ii) all contracts and agreements oof Bookit.com (the “Assumed Contracts”); and (iii) any goodwill related to the Purchased Assets. Further to the APA, we agreed to assume any obligation or liability of Bookit.com, and any related claims, whether asserted prior to or following the Purchased Assets, with the exception of: (i) all tax obligations and liabilities of any nature arising in connection with or related to Bookit.com and/or the Purchased Assets prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) any post-Closing payment or performance obligations arising under the Assumed Contracts.
Previously, this technology powered the Bookit.com business, a well-established online leisure travel agent generating over $400 million in annual sales as recently as 2019 (pre-pandemic). As part of the acquisition of the assets of Bookit.com, NTH was not only able to acquire a proven technology platform that could be integrated with its core travel sectors, but it was also able to secure the Bookit.com database with millions of past travelers and opt-in consumers.
Since 2022 and the acquisition of the Bookit.com assets, NTH has been focused on the integration of Bookit.com into the NXT2.0 technology platform, which serves as a base for current and future technology projects as well as proprietary system enhancements. Bookit.com had negotiated contracts and created API’s linking it to approximately 250 travel related companies, based on NTH’s diligence in connection with such Bookit.com acquisition. The travel product offerings included conglomerate travel suppliers such as Expedia as well as uniquely contracted rates with airlines, hotel chains, car rental companies, cruise lines, tour operators and travel marketing companies. The contracts were terminated upon the closure of Bookit.com; however, NextTrip was afforded access to the previously developed API’s that gave Bookit access to these significant travel products. The Company has begun the process of contacting these former suppliers in an effort to re-engage with them, and re-negotiate new contracts which were previously in place with Bookit.com. The reactivation of some of these contracts will both increase the Company’s travel product offerings and improve the current pricing, thereby increasing revenues through commissions on sales of product offerings. To date, through its negotiations, the Company has strategically reactivated 12-15 of these contracts for Phase 1 of its product launch, ensuring top-tier rates and options in premier destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. NextTrip has also secured a contract with Expedia which represents unique product inventory of more than 3 million lodging, air and tour product suppliers at exceptional rates to over 2,100 destinations in 200+ countries worldwide, based on information from Expedia. Additionally, the Company continues efforts to establish partnerships with additional hotel, air, cruise and excursion suppliers. which is the “supply” or “product” side of the NXT2.0 booking platform.

Through this strategic offering, we will focus on key areas of opportunity in the travel sector and drive enhanced booking conversion rates. Our proprietary technology, when combined with media, product offerings and customer service, provides a unique lane to serve mid- to luxury travelers.
Acquisition of 49% Stake in Five Star Alliance
On February 6, 2025, NextTrip, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “FSA Purchase Agreement”) with FSA Travel, LLC (“FSA”), John McMahon, as Majority Member, and the other members of FSA included on the signature page thereto (Mr. McMahon together with such other members, collectively the “FSA Members”). Pursuant to the FSA Purchase Agreement, on February 10, 2025 (the “Initial Closing Date”), NextTrip purchased 9,608 membership units of FSA (equal to a 49% ownership stake in FSA immediately after closing) (the “Initial Interests”) in exchange for NextTrip’s (i) payment of $500,000 in cash and (ii) issuance of 161,291 shares of newly designated Series O Nonvoting Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (“Series O Preferred”) to FSA.

In addition, subject to satisfaction of the conditions discussed below, the FSA Purchase Agreement provides the Company with an option (the “Option”), in its sole discretion, to purchase the remaining 51% of the membership units from the FSA Members within 60 days of the Initial Closing Date (the “Final Closing Date”), in exchange for (i) the payment by the Company to the FSA Members of an aggregate of $500,000 in cash and (ii) the issuance of an aggregate of 161,291 shares of Series O Preferred to the Members (the “Final Closing”). The Company’s Option is subject to, and contingent upon, satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the continued employment of Mr. McMahon and Ms. May by the Company, subject to limited exceptions, (ii) the completion of a $2,000,000 capital raise by the Company, and (iii) the continued operation of FSA by FSA’s existing management until the Final Closing Date.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as those described under “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our updates to those Risk Factors included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K following the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in all other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, before deciding whether to invest in our securities. The occurrence of any of the events or developments described below and in our filings with the SEC could harm our business, financial condition, operating results, and/or growth prospects.
The risks described below and in our filings with the SEC are not the only ones facing us. Our business is also subject to the risks that affect many other companies, such as competition, labor relations, general economic conditions, inflation, supply chain constraints, geopolitical changes, and international operations. We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks, some of which are beyond our control. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business operations and our liquidity. The risks described below and in our filings with the SEC could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements we have made in this prospectus, the information incorporated herein by reference, and those forward-looking statements we may make from time to time. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. This prospectus is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.
It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.
Alumni Capital has committed to purchase up to $10.0 million of shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Alumni Purchase Agreement. The shares of our common stock that may be issued under the Alumni Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to Alumni at our discretion from time to time throughout the term of the agreement. We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares of common stock to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement. Sales of our common stock, if any, to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by us. We may ultimately decide to sell to Alumni all, some or none of the shares of our common stock that may be available for us to sell to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement.
Because the per share purchase price that Alumni will pay for shares of our common stock in any transaction that we may elect to effect pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement will be equal to the lowest traded price of our common stock during the five business days prior a closing date multiplied by eighty nine percent, as of the date of this prospectus, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of common stock that we will sell to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that Alumni will pay for shares purchased from us under the Alumni Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement.
Additionally, although the Alumni Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of our common stock to Alumni, only 1,370,497 shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by Alumni under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. In order to utilize the full value of the Alumni Purchase Agreement, we must first obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Alumni Exchange Cap under the Alumni Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement more than the 1,370,497 shares of our common stock being registered for resale by Alumni under the registration statement that includes this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $10.0 million under the Alumni Purchase Agreement, we must first file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register any such additional shares of our common stock we wish to sell to Alumni from time to time under the Alumni Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our common stock to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement.

The terms of the Alumni Purchase Agreement limit the amount of shares we may issue to the Alumni, which may limit our ability to utilize the arrangement to enhance our cash resources.
The Alumni Purchase Agreement includes restrictions on our ability to sell shares of our common stock to Alumni, including, the Alumni Exchange Cap and, subject to specified limitations, if a sale would cause Alumni to beneficially own more than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell the full number of shares that Alumni has committed to purchase, if any. If we cannot sell the full amount of shares that Alumni has committed to purchase under the Alumni Purchase Agreement because of these limitations, we may be required to utilize more costly and time-consuming means of accessing the capital markets, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity and cash position.
Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
The selling stockholders that hold Warrants will have discretion as to whether and when they exercise their Warrants, as well as if, when and at what price they resell the shares of common stock registered hereby that are underlying such Warrants. Additionally, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement. If and when we do elect to sell shares of our common stock to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement, after Alumni has acquired such shares, Alumni may resell all, some or none of such shares at any time or from time to time in its discretion and at different prices. As a result, investors who purchase shares from the selling stockholders in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares, and so may experience different levels of dilution, and in some cases substantial dilution, and different outcomes in their investment results. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase from the selling stockholders in this offering as a result of future sales made by the selling stockholders to purchasers or by us to Alumni at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering.
The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders may cause the price of our common stock to decline.
We are registering for resale by the selling stockholders up to 2,067,212 shares of our common stock. If the selling stockholders sell, or the market perceives that the selling stockholders intend to sell, a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, the price of our common stock may decline. The shares of common stock offered under this prospectus represent a significant number of shares in comparison to the number of shares of our common stock currently outstanding, and if sold in the market all at once or at approximately the same time, could depress the market price of our common stock. Additionally, such conditions may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement and the proceeds received in connection with cash exercises of the Warrants by the selling stockholders, if any, and you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.
We are not selling any shares of our common stock under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sales, if any, of shares of our common stock to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement and, upon any selling stockholder’s exercise of the Warrants by payment of cash, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants. Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from our sale of shares of common stock to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement and from the exercise of Warrants by the selling stockholders, and we could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of commencement of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of those net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that, pending their use, we may invest those net proceeds in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
You may experience additional dilution as a result of future equity offerings .
In order to raise additional capital, we may sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be lower than the price per share that you purchase the shares of common stock being offered hereunder by the selling stockholders.

THE SELLING STOCKHOLDER TRANSACTIONS
The following provides a summary of the transactions entered into with the selling stockholders pursuant to which they received, or are entitled to receive, the shares of our common stock being registered hereby for resale by the selling stockholders. The following summaries of such transactions do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the forms of transaction documents entered into in connection with such transactions, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and which are incorporated herein by reference. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the information incorporated herein by reference.
April 2020 Private Placement
On April 2, 2020, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors, including Iroquois MF and Iroquois CIG (each of whom are listed as selling stockholders in this prospectus), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued an aggregate of 25,773 units, consisting of (i) 24,651 shares of Company common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,122 shares of Company common stock in a public offering pursuant to its effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225377); and (ii) Series A Warrants to purchase up to purchase up to 25,773 shares of Company common stock in a concurrent private placement, at a purchase price of $58.40 per unit (the “April 2020 Private Placement”).
Each pre-funded warrant was immediately exercisable on the date of issuance, expires five years from the date of issuance and had an unpaid exercise price of $0.02 per share of common stock. The pre-funded warrants could be exercised for cash or on a cashless basis. All of the pre-funded warrants have been exercised in full.
Each Series A Warrant is exercisable commencing on the six month and one day anniversary of the issuance date (the “Initial Exercise Date”), expires five years from the Initial Exercise Date and had an initial exercise price of $55.64 per share. The Series A Warrants may be exercised for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Series A Warrants, the Series A Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis.
Each holder of Series A Warrants will be prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from exercising the Series A Warrants for shares of our common stock to the extent that immediately prior to or after giving effect to such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates and other attribution parties, would own more than 4.99% or 9.99% (which percentage was elected at each holder’s discretion prior to the issuance of the Series A Warrants) of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding, which percentage may be changed at the holders’ election to a higher or lower percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon 61 days’ notice to the Company subject to the terms of the Series A Warrants.
The exercise price of the Series A Warrants, and the number or shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split and similar events. In the event we sell or issue common stock or common stock equivalents at an effective price less than the exercise price of the Series A Warrants, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants will be reduced on a full-ratchet basis to such effective price and the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the Series A Warrants will be increased such that the number of shares issuable on exercise of the Series A Warrants will equal the quotient obtained by dividing the total exercise price of the Series A Warrants by such reduced exercise price. As a result of these provisions, in January 2023, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was reduced from $50.00 per share to $11.60 per share as a result of our grant of stock options at an exercise price of $11.60 per share and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants increased from 19,123 to 82,419. In September of 2023, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was reduced from $11.60 per share to $6.00 per share as a result our sale of common shares at $6.00 per share and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants increased from 82,419 to 159,342. In January of 2024, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was reduced from $6.00 per share to $3.62 per share as a result our issuance of shares of convertible preferred stock at $3.62 per share and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants increased from 159,342 to 264,103. In February of 2024, the exercise price of the Series A Warrants was reduced from $3.62 per share to $3.02 per share as a result our sale of shares of convertible preferred stock at $3.02 per share and the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants increased from 264,103 to 316,574 shares.
The shares of common stock issuable to Iroquois MF and Iroquois CIG upon exercise of Iroquois Warrants that are registered hereby became issuable under the Series A Warrants held by Iroquois MF and Iroquois CIG by reason of the anti-dilution provisions discussed above.
Additional information with respect to the April 2020 Private Placement and the Iroquois Warrants is contained in this prospectus under the heading “Selling Stockholders” and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2020.

Alumni Capital Common Stock Securities Purchase Agreement
On September 19, 2024, the Company and Alumni entered into the Alumni Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has the right, but not the obligation to cause Alumni to purchase up to $10 million shares of Company common stock (the “Commitment Amount”) at the Purchase Price (defined below) during the period beginning on the execution date of the Alumni Purchase Agreement and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which Alumni has purchased $10 million shares of common stock pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement or (ii) December 31, 2025.
Pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement, the “Purchase Price” means the lowest traded price of Company common stock during the five business days prior a closing date multiplied by eighty nine percent. They Company may not issue Alumni a purchase notice under the Alumni Purchase Agreement without an effective registration statement and no purchase notice will be in an amount greater than $500,000, which may be waived up to $5,000,000 upon mutual agreement between the Company and Alumni.
The Alumni Purchase Agreement provides that the number of shares of our common stock to be sold to Alumni will not exceed the number of shares that, when aggregated together with all other shares of our common stock which Alumni is deemed to beneficially own, would result in it owning more than 4.99% of our outstanding common stock or would exceed 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of September 19, 2024 (the “Alumni Exchange Cap”). In order to utilize the full value of the Alumni Purchase Agreement, we must first obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of common stock in excess of the Alumni Exchange Cap under the Alumni Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
In consideration for Alumni’s execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Alumni Purchase Agreement, the Company issued and delivered 32,786 shares of Company common stock, the Initial Commitment Shares, to Alumni on September 19, 2024 and within one business day from the date off effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue and deliver to Alumni Capital, as DWAC or DRS shares, that number of shares of common stock equal to two percent of the Commitment Amount divided by the VWAP for our common stock for the business day prior to the notice of effectiveness.
The Alumni Purchase Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.
Additional information with respect to the Alumni Purchase Agreement and the Initial Commitment Shares is contained in this prospectus under the heading “Selling Stockholders” and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2024.

Alumni Capital Note and Warrant Securities Purchase Agreements
On September 19, 2024, the Company also entered into Note & Warrant SPA with Alumni for the sale of a short-term promissory note (the “Alumni Note”) and the Alumni Warrants to Alumni for total consideration of $250,000. The Alumni Note had a principal amount of $300,000 with an original issue discount of $50,000 and guaranteed interest on the principal amount of ten percent per annum, which was due and payable on December 19, 2024. On December 19, 2024, the Company repaid the entire amount of the outstanding principal, including the discount, plus accrued interest outstanding on the Alumni Note.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Alumni Note to Alumni, the Company also issued Alumni the Alumni Warrants to purchase 96,774 shares of common stock at a price per share of $3.10, which represents 100% warrant coverage on the principal amount of the Alumni Note. The Alumni Warrants are exercisable on or prior to the five-year anniversary of the effective date of the Note & Warrant SPA.
The Note & Warrant SPA contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default as well as piggyback registration rights for future registration statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered for sale by them under this prospectus. We will not receive proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the sales, if any, of shares of our common stock to Alumni under the Alumni Purchase Agreement and, upon any selling stockholder’s exercise of the Warrants by payment of cash, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants.
We cannot predict the number or value of the shares that we will sell to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement or if, when and in what amounts the Warrants will be exercised by payments of cash and it is possible that the Warrants may expire and never be exercised or may be exercised via cashless exercise, in which case we would not receive any cash proceeds. We currently intend to use any proceeds that we receive from the sales of shares to Alumni pursuant to the Alumni Purchase Agreement and/or from the cash exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes, including operating expenses, capital expenditures and working capital.

Director Compensation
We believe that a combination of cash and equity compensation is appropriate to attract and retain the individuals we desire to serve on our Board of Directors. Our cash compensation policies are designed to encourage frequent and active interaction between directors and our executives both during and between formal meetings as well as compensate our directors for their time and effort. Further, we believe it is important to align the long-term interests of our non-employee directors (i.e., directors who are not employed by us as officers or employees) with those of the Company and its stockholders, and that awarding equity compensation to, and thereby increasing ownership of our common stock by, our non-employee directors is an appropriate means to achieve this alignment. Directors who are also employees of our company do not receive compensation for their service on our Board of Directors.
Under our director compensation program for fiscal year 2025, each non-employee director received annual compensation of $35,000. Also, each non-employee director may be reimbursed for his reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of his duties as a director as our Board of Directors determines from time to time. Our Compensation Committee intends to evaluate our director compensation program and determine whether any changes should be recommended to the Board.
The following table sets forth certain information concerning the compensation paid to non-employee directors in fiscal year 2024 for their services as directors of the Company. The compensation of Mr. Brunsberg, who serves as a director and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, is described in the Summary Compensation Table of Executive Officers. Our non-employee directors do not receive fringe or other benefits.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Nevada Revised Statutes provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors and officers. The director or officer must have conducted himself/herself in good faith and reasonably believe that his/her conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director or officer must not have had reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. Under applicable sections of the Nevada Revised Statutes, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he/she believes he/she has met the standards and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined the officer or director did not meet the standards.
Our bylaws include an indemnification provision under which we must indemnify any of our directors or officers, or any of our former directors or officers, to the full extent permitted by law. We have also entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers under which we must indemnify them to the full extent permitted by law. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers for which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that is likely to result in claims for indemnification. We also maintain insurance policies that indemnify our directors and officers against various liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be incurred by any director or officer in his or her capacity as such.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of ours in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and intend to enter into such agreements with certain of our executive officers. These agreements provide that we will indemnify each of our directors, certain of our executive officers and, at times, their affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. We will advance expenses, including attorneys’ fees (but excluding judgments, fines and settlement amounts), to each indemnified director, executive officer or affiliate in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available and we will indemnify our directors and officers for any action or proceeding arising out of that person’s services as a director or officer brought on behalf of the Company and/or in furtherance of our rights. Additionally, each of our directors may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by their affiliates, which indemnification relates to and might apply to the same proceedings arising out of such director’s services as a director referenced herein. Nonetheless, we have agreed in the indemnification agreements that the Company’s obligations to those same directors are primary and any obligation of the affiliates of those directors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the expenses or liabilities incurred by those directors are secondary.

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
Certain share and per share data included in this Item 15 has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the 1-for-20 reverse stock split of our common stock, which was effected on September 22, 2023.

On January 26, 2023, the Company agreed to issue to a holder of 132 shares of the Company’s outstanding Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D Shares”) a five-year warrant to purchase up to 11,250 shares of common stock of the Company at an initial exercise price of $11.60 per share, the closing price of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on such date, which exercise price is subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split and similar events. The warrant was issued in consideration of the holder’s agreement to convert, in full, the Series D Shares in accordance with their terms into 13,541 shares of common stock, which equates to a conversion price of $11.60 per share.
NextTrip Acquisition - Stock Consideration
On October 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”), NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”), and William Kerby, as the NTH Representative, pursuant to which, amongst other things, we agreed to acquire NTH in exchange for shares of our common stock, subject to approval of our shareholders (the “Acquisition”).
On December 29, 2023, we completed the Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, NTH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the ongoing business of the Company became the business of NTH. In connection with closing of the Acquisition, we issued to NTG members (the “NTG Sellers”) their pro rata share of an aggregate of 156,007 restricted shares our common stock (the “Closing Shares”), constituting 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition. Under the Exchange Agreement, the NTG Sellers will be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock (the “Contingent Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) upon NTH’s achievement of future milestones, as follows:
| Milestone | Date
Earned | Contingent
Shares |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Launch
of NTH’s leisure travel booking platform by either (i) achieving $1,000,000 in cumulative sales under its historical “phase
1” business, or (ii) commencement of its marketing program under its enhanced “phase 2” business. | As
of a date six months after the closing date | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares |
| Launch
of NTH’s group travel booking platform and signing of at least five (5) entities to use the groups travel booking platform. | As
of a date nine months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares |
| Launch
of NTH’s travel agent platform and signing up of at least 100 travel agents to the platform (which calculation includes individual
agents of an agency that signs up on behalf of multiple agents). | As
of a date 12 months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,450,000
Contingent Shares |
| Commercial
launch of PayDelay technology in the NXT2.0 system. | As
of a date 15 months after the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date) | 1,650,000
Contingent Shares, less the Exchange Shares issued at the closing of the Acquisition |

Alternatively, independent of achievement of the foregoing milestones, for each month during the 15-month period following the closing date in which $1,000,000 or more in gross travel bookings are generated by NTH to the extent not previously issued, the Contingent Shares will be issuable in the order indicated above up to the maximum Exchange Shares issuable under the Exchange Agreement. In no event, however, will the Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of future stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events.
On March 26, 2025, the Company issued the NTG Sellers and aggregate of 4,393,993 of the Contingent Shares in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Share Exchange Agreement. As of the date of this registration statement, three of the four business milestones have been achieved, and, on March 26, 2025, were issued to the NTG Sellers. The remaining 1,450,000 Contingent Shares will be eligible for issuance upon the launch of the Company’s Travel Agent platform.

On January 26, 2024, the Company and NextTrip Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“NextTrip”), entered into a Perpetual License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Promethean TV, Inc.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;
(4) Consists of (i) the 32,786 Initial Commitment Shares and (ii) 96,774 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Alumni Warrants;
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and;
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
