EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement is filed by USBC, Inc. (the “Registrant”) for the purpose of registering an aggregate 65,000,000 additional shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) issuable under the Amended and Restated USBC, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) following the approval of the Amendment and Restatement of Incentive Plan Proposal by the Registrant’s stockholders at its annual meeting of stockholders held on September 29, 2025.

In accordance with Instruction E to Form S-8, the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to this Registration Statement are of the same class of securities as the following prior registration statements on Form S-8, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) with respect to the 2021 Plan: (i) 500,000 shares under the 2021 Plan and 366,253 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”) on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on December 10, 2021 (File No. 333-261597), (ii) 550,000 shares of Common Stock on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on April 25, 2025 (File No. 333-286762) and (iii) 48,950,000 shares of Common Stock on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on August 5, 2025 (File No. 333-289254) (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”).

The 500,000 shares under the 2021 Plan and 366,253 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan registered on Form S-8 filed with the Commission on December 10, 2021 have been adjusted as referenced herein to reflect the Registrant’s 1-for-40 reverse stock split of the authorized and issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) which became effective on February 19, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 40 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding were converted into one share of Common Stock along with the number of shares to be awarded under the 2021 Plan and the number of additional shares available pursuant to the “evergreen” provisions were also appropriately adjusted as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of Prior Registration Statements are incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference to the extent not modified or superseded hereby or by any subsequently filed document, which is incorporated by reference herein or therein.
