• up to an additional 12,496 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Settlement Shares") issued in connection with an employment -related settlement agreement.

This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of up to 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Public Warrant Shares") that are issuable by us upon the exercise of the public warrants sold as part of the units in the Chavant IPO (the "Public Warrants," and together with the PIPE Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants, the "Warrants"). The Public Warrants entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock for $5.79 per share. When the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that Warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. Our ability to continue funding our existing and future operations is not dependent upon receiving cash proceeds from the exercise of any of the Warrants.

The shares of Class A Common Stock and the Private Placement Warrants that may be sold by the Selling Securityholders are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the "Offered Securities." Our registration of the resale of the Offered Securities does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the Offered Securities.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Securityholders of any of the Offered Securities. We will receive the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for cash, but not from the sale of the underlying shares of Class A Common Stock. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the resale of the Offered Securities. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the Offered Securities.

The Purchase Shares Offered Securities being offered for resale in this prospectus represent a substantial percentage of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock as of April 30, May 1, 2024. Assuming the issuance of all of the Purchase Shares Offered Securities being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus to the Selling Securityholder under the Purchase Agreement, Securityholders, the Purchase Shares Offered Securities would represent approximately 27.9% 60.7% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock as of April 30, May 1, 2024. The sale resale of the Purchase Shares, Offered Securities, or the perception that these sales could occur, pursuant to this prospectus, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Class A Common Stock. In addition to the Selling Stockholder, certain other stockholders, including the PIPE investors, the Sponsor, Founder Equityholders and Legacy Mobix Holders (each as defined below and collectively, the "Additional Sellers") may resell a substantial number of our securities (the this prospectus, we have also filed an additional Securities") pursuant to a separate resale prospectus (the "Additional Prospectus") which relates to the sale registration of the Purchase an additional 9,500,000 shares together with the sale of the Additional Securities held by our Class A Common Stock (the Additional Sellers, or "Purchase Shares") pursuant to the perception purchase agreement that these sales could occur, could depress we entered into with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC ("B. Riley") on March 18, 2024 (the market price of our securities.

"Purchase Agreement") and related registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). The sale of the Offered Securities together with the sale of the Purchase Shares held by B. Riley, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of our securities.

The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell the securities covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the securities in the section titled "Plan of Distribution." In addition, certain of the Offered Securities are subject to vesting and/or transfer restrictions that may prevent the Selling Securityholders from offering or selling such securities. See the section titled "Description of Securities" for more information.

As of May 1, 2024, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that may be offered for resale by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, assuming the cash exercise of all of the Company's outstanding Warrants, represents approximately 108.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares of Class A Common Stock in the public markets, including by the Selling Securityholders, who obtained their shares at prices or values below the current market price, or the perception in the market that such sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of the Class A Common Stock. For more information regarding this risk, see "Risk Factors — Risks Related to Ownership of Mobix Labs' Securities — Future sales of Class A Common Stock may cause the market price of Mobix Labs' Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if Mobix Labs' business is doing well."

You should carefully read this prospectus, and any applicable prospectus supplement, before you invest in any of our securities.

The shares of Class A Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and the Public Warrants are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols "MOBX" and "MOBXW," respectively. On May 28, 2024, the last sale price of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq was $2.29 per share and the last sale price of the Public Warrants as reported on the Nasdaq was $0.15 per warrant.

Based on such sale prices, the Selling Securityholders, who obtained their Offered Securities at prices or values below the current market price, may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $2.28 per share. Other securityholders, including those that purchased securities in the Chavant IPO, may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the prices or values at which the Selling Securityholders were issued the Offered Securities and the current trading price of the Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants.

Investing in our securities involves certain risks, including those that are described in the section titled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.

The Committed Equity Facility

On March 18, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and a related registration rights agreement, dated as of March 18, 2024 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), with B. Riley Principal Capital II. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, in our sole discretion, to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II up to $100,000,000 of shares of our Class A Common Stock (subject to certain limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement), from time to time after the date of this prospectus and during the term of the Purchase Agreement through a Market Open Purchase or an Intraday Purchase on any Purchase Date (each term as defined below). Sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. In accordance with our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, we have filed the registration statement that includes this prospectus with the SEC to register under the Securities Act, the offer and resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II of up to 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that we may, in our sole discretion, elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II, from time to time from and after the Commencement Date (defined below) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Upon the initial satisfaction of each of the conditions to B. Riley Principal Capital II's purchase obligations set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the initial satisfaction of all of such conditions, the "Commencement"), none of which are within B. Riley Principal Capital II's control, including that the registration statement that includes this prospectus shall have been declared effective by the SEC and the final form of this prospectus shall have been filed with the SEC, we have the right, but not the obligation, from time to time at our sole discretion for a period of up to 36 months, unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated, beginning on the date on which the Commencement occurs (such date, the "Commencement Date"), to direct B. Riley Principal Capital II to purchase a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock (each, a "Market Open Purchase"), not to exceed the lesser of (such lesser number of shares, the "Market Open Purchase Maximum Amount"): (i) 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) up to a certain percentage, which we will specify in the applicable Market Open Purchase Notice (as defined below) for such Market Open Purchase (such applicable percentage not to exceed 25.0%) (such applicable percentage specified by us for a Market Open Purchase, the "Market Open Purchase Percentage"), of the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of our Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable Market Open Purchase Valuation Period (as defined below) for such Market Open Purchase (such specified number of shares to be purchased by B. Riley Principal Capital II in such Market Open Purchase, adjusted to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Market Open Purchase Maximum Amount and certain additional limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the "Market Open Purchase Share Amount"), by timely delivering written notice of such Market Open Purchase to B. Riley Principal Capital II (each, a "Market Open Purchase Notice") prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on any trading day (each, a "Purchase Date"), so long as (a) the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than $0.50 (such price, the "Threshold Price"), and (b) all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Market Open Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases (defined below) effected by us under the Purchase Agreement (as applicable) have been received by B. Riley Principal Capital II in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, prior to the time we deliver such Market Open Purchase Notice to B. Riley Principal Capital II.

The per share purchase price that B. Riley Principal Capital II is required to pay for shares of Class A Common Stock in a Market Open Purchase effected by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock (the "VWAP"), calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, for the period (the "Market Open Purchase Valuation Period") beginning at the official open (or "commencement") of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Purchase, and ending at the earliest to occur of (i) 3:59 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date or such earlier time publicly announced by the trading market as the official close of the regular trading session on such Purchase Date, (ii) such time that the total aggregate number (or volume) of shares of Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during such Market Open Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) reaches the applicable share volume maximum amount for such Market Open Purchase (the "Market Open Purchase Share Volume Maximum"), calculated by dividing (a) the applicable Market Open Purchase Share Amount for such Market Open Purchase, by (b) the Market Open Purchase Percentage we specified in the applicable Market Open Purchase Notice for such Market Open Purchase, and (iii) if we further specify in the applicable Market Open Purchase Notice for such Market Open Purchase that a "limit order discontinue election" (a "Limit Order Discontinue Election") shall apply to such Market Open Purchase, such time that the trading price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during such Market Open Purchase Valuation Period (calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement) falls below the applicable minimum price threshold for such Market Open Purchase specified by us in the Market Open Purchase Notice for such Market Open Purchase, or if we do not specify a minimum price threshold in such Market Open Purchase Notice, a price equal to 75.0% of the closing sale price of the Class A Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the applicable Purchase Date for such purchase (the "Minimum Price Threshold"), less a fixed 3.0% discount to the VWAP for such Market Open Purchase Valuation Period, calculated in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Under the Purchase Agreement, for purposes of calculating the volume of shares of Class A Common Stock traded during a Market Open Purchase Valuation Period, as well as the VWAP for a Market Open Purchase Valuation Period, the following transactions, to the extent they occur during such Market Open Purchase Valuation Period, shall be excluded: (x) the opening or first purchase of Class A Common Stock at or following the official open of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Market Open Purchase, (y) the last or closing sale of Class A Common Stock at or prior to the official close of the regular trading session on Nasdaq on the applicable Purchase Date for such Market Open Purchase, and (z) if we have specified in the applicable Market Open Purchase Notice for such Market Open Purchase that a "limit order continue election" (a "Limit Order Continue Election"), rather than a Limit Order Discontinue Election, shall apply to such Market Open Purchase, all purchases and sales of Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during such Market Open Purchase Valuation Period at a price per share that is less than the applicable Minimum Price Threshold for such Market Open Purchase.

From and after the Commencement Date, in addition to Market Open Purchases described above, we will also have the right, but not the obligation, subject to the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, to direct B. Riley Principal Capital II to purchase, on any trading day that would qualify as a Purchase Date, whether or not a Market Open Purchase is effected on such Purchase Date, a specified number of shares of Class A Common Stock (each, an "Intraday Purchase"), not to exceed the lesser of (such lesser number of shares, the "Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount"): (i) 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) up to a certain percentage, which we will specify in the applicable Intraday Purchase Notice (as defined below) for such Intraday Purchase (such applicable percentage not to exceed 25.0%) (such applicable percentage specified by us for an Intraday Purchase, the "Intraday Purchase Percentage"), of the total aggregate volume of shares of our Class A Common Stock traded on Nasdaq during the applicable "Intraday Purchase Valuation Period" (determined in a similar manner as the Market Open Purchase Valuation Periods for a Market Open Purchase) for such Intraday Purchase (such specified number of shares, adjusted to the extent necessary to give effect to the applicable Intraday Purchase Maximum Amount, the "Intraday Purchase Share Amount"), by the delivery to B. Riley Principal Capital II of an irrevocable written purchase notice for such Intraday Purchase, after 10:00 a.m., New York City time (and after the Market Open Purchase Valuation Period for any earlier Market Open Purchase and the Intraday Purchase Valuation Period for the most recent prior Intraday Purchase effected on the same Purchase Date as such applicable Intraday Purchase, if applicable, have ended), and prior to 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date (each, an "Intraday Purchase Notice"), so long as (i) the closing sale price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately prior to such Purchase Date is not less than the Threshold Price and (ii) all shares of Class A Common Stock subject to all prior Market Open Purchases and all prior Intraday Purchases (as applicable) effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, including all prior purchases effected on the same Purchase Date as such applicable Intraday Purchase, have been received by B. Riley Principal Capital II in the manner set forth in the Purchase Agreement, prior to the time we deliver the Intraday Purchase Notice for such applicable Intraday Purchase to B. Riley Principal Capital II.

The per share purchase price for the shares of Class A Common Stock that we elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II in an Intraday Purchase pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be calculated in the same manner as in the case of a Market Open Purchase (including the same fixed percentage discounts to the applicable VWAP used to calculate the per share purchase price for a Market Open Purchase, as described above), provided that the VWAP for each Intraday Purchase effected on a Purchase Date will be calculated over different Intraday Purchase Valuation Periods during the regular trading session on Nasdaq on such Purchase Date, each of which will commence and end at different times on such Purchase Date.

There is no upper limit on the price per share that B. Riley Principal Capital II could be obligated to pay for the Class A Common Stock we may elect to sell to it in any Market Open Purchase or any Intraday Purchase under the Purchase Agreement. In the case of Market Open Purchases and Intraday Purchases effected by us under the Purchase Agreement, if any, all share and dollar amounts used in determining the purchase price per share of Class A Common Stock to be purchased by B. Riley Principal Capital II in a Market Open Purchase or an Intraday Purchase (as applicable), or in determining the applicable maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts in connection with any such Market Open Purchase or Intraday Purchase (as applicable), in each case, will be equitably adjusted as set forth in the Purchase Agreement for any reorganization, recapitalization, non -cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction occurring during any period used to calculate such per share purchase price, maximum purchase share amounts or applicable volume or price threshold amounts.

We will control the timing and amount of any sales of Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II that we may elect, in our sole discretion, to effect from time to time from and after the Commencement Date and during the term of the Purchase Agreement. Actual sales of shares of Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Class A Common Stock and determinations by us as to the appropriate sources of funding for its business and its operations.

Under the applicable Nasdaq rules, in no event may we issue to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement more than 5,166,761 shares of Class A Common Stock, which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the sum of shares of Class A Common Stock and shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the "Exchange Cap"), unless (i) we obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules, or (ii) the average price per share paid by B. Riley Principal Capital II for all of the shares of Class A Common Stock that we direct B. Riley Principal Capital II to purchase from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, equals or exceeds $2.10 per share (representing the lower of (a) the official closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement and (b) the average official closing price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement, adjusted as required by Nasdaq to take into account our payment of the Cash Commitment Fee (as defined below), so that the Exchange Cap limitation will not apply to issuances and sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Moreover, we may not issue or sell any shares of Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Class A Common Stock then beneficially owned by B. Riley Principal Capital II and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and Rule 13d -3 thereunder), would result in B. Riley Principal Capital II beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation").

The net proceeds to us from sales that we elect to make to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell shares of our Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II. We expect that any proceeds received by us from such sales to B. Riley Principal Capital II will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

There are no restrictions on future financings, rights of first refusal, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement, other than a prohibition (with certain limited exceptions) on entering into specified "Variable Rate Transactions" during certain "Reference Periods" (as such terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement). In addition, under the Purchase Agreement, we may not issue or sell any shares of Class A Common Stock or equivalents in any "equity line of credit" or "at the market offering", subject to certain exceptions.

B. Riley Principal Capital II has agreed that none of B. Riley Principal Capital II, its sole member, any of their respective officers, or any entity managed or controlled by B. Riley Principal Capital II or its sole member will engage in or effect, directly or indirectly, for its own account or for the account of any other of such persons or entities, any short sales of the Class A Common Stock or hedging transaction that establishes a net short position in the Class A Common Stock during the term of the Purchase Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the first day of the month next following the 36 -month anniversary of the Commencement Date, (ii) the date on which B. Riley Principal Capital II shall have purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate gross purchase price of $100,000,000, (iii) the date on which the Class A Common Stock shall have failed to be listed or quoted on Nasdaq or another U.S. national securities exchange identified as an "eligible market" in the Purchase Agreement, (iv) the 30 th trading day after the date on which a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding involving our company has been commenced that is not discharged or dismissed prior to such trading day, and (v) the date on which a bankruptcy custodian is appointed for all or substantially all of our property or we make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

We have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time after Commencement, at no cost or penalty, upon 10 trading days' prior written notice to B. Riley Principal Capital II, provided, however, that certain conditions under the Purchase Agreement are met. We and B. Riley Principal Capital II may also agree to terminate the Purchase Agreement by mutual written consent, provided that no termination of the Purchase Agreement will be effective during the pendency of any Market Open Purchase or any Intraday Purchase that has not then fully settled in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Neither we nor B. Riley Principal Capital II may assign or transfer our respective rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement, and no provision of the Purchase Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement may be modified or waived by us or B. Riley Principal Capital II.

As consideration for B. Riley Principal Capital II's commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock at our direction upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to pay B. Riley Principal Capital II a cash commitment fee in the amount of $1,500,000 (the "Cash Commitment Fee"), which represents 1.5% of B. Riley Principal Capital II's $100,000,000 total aggregate purchase commitment under the Purchase Agreement. B. Riley Principal Capital II will withhold 30% in cash from the total aggregate purchase price in connection with any Market Open Purchases and Intraday Purchases under the Purchase Agreement until B. Riley Principal Capital II has received the entire Cash Commitment Fee. If we do not pay the Cash Commitment Fee in full on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement and (ii) December 15, 2024, then we must pay B. Riley Principal Capital II, in cash, the difference between (A) the Cash Commitment Fee and (B) the amount of cash withholdings already withheld by B. Riley Principal Capital II in connection with any Market Open Purchases and Intraday Purchases and any other cash payments made by us to B. Riley Principal Capital II that were applied to the Commitment Fee that do not arise from any cash withholding(s) by B. Riley Principal Capital II or from any agreements entered into between the Company and B. Riley Principal Capital II prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, we have agreed to reimburse B. Riley Principal Capital II for the reasonable legal fees and disbursements of B. Riley Principal Capital II's legal counsel in an amount not to exceed (i) $75,000 upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) $5,000 per fiscal quarter, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.

The Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, conditions, and indemnification obligations of the parties. Copies of the agreements have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus and are available electronically on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Because the per share purchase price that B. Riley Principal Capital II will pay for Purchase Shares in any Market Open Purchase or Intraday Purchase that we may elect to effect pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be determined by reference to the VWAP during the applicable Market Open Purchase Valuation Period or Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, respectively, on the applicable Purchase Date for such Market Open Purchase or Intraday Purchase, as of the date of this prospectus, we cannot determine the actual purchase price per share that B. Riley Principal Capital II will be required to pay for any Purchase Shares that we may elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement from and after Commencement and, therefore, we cannot be certain how many Purchase Shares, in the aggregate, we may issue and sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement from and after Commencement. As of April 30, 2024, there were 24,609,287 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding, of which 20,756,796 shares were held by non -affiliates of our Company. If all of the 9,500,000 shares offered for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under this prospectus were issued and outstanding as of the date hereof (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation), such shares would represent approximately 27.9% of the total number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and approximately 31.4% of the total number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by non -affiliates of our company, in each case as of April 30, 2024.

Notwithstanding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part remains effective, this prospectus remains usable, and the Purchase Agreement has not been terminated, B. Riley Principal Capital II may purchase up to 9,500,000 Purchase Shares from time to time pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which represent approximately 38.6% of our currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 30, 2024, and may continuously resell some of all of the Purchase Shares purchased from us to the public market at any time and as needed to not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. In addition, so long as the registration statement of which the Additional Prospectus forms a part remains effective and the Additional Prospectus remains usable, certain Additional Sellers beneficially owning approximately 60.7% of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, may, subject to contractual lock -ups as described under the section titled "Securities Act Restrictions on Resale of Securities – Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement", sell some or all of the Additional Securities pursuant to the Additional Prospectus at the same time as B. Riley Principal Capital II reselling the Purchase Shares, if any, pursuant to this prospectus. Continuous sales of a substantial number of our shares of Class A Common Stock in the public market pursuant to both the Additional Prospectus and this prospectus (which equals approximately 122.8% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock as of April 30, 2024, calculated as 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock potentially issuable to B. Riley Principal Capital II plus the Additional Securities being offered by the Additional Sellers, divided by 24,609,287 currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock), or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our securities. The frequency of such sales could cause the market price of our securities to decline or increase the volatility in the market price of our securities.

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to $100,000,000 of our Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, only 9,500,000 Purchase Shares are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. If we were to issue and sell all of such 9,500,000 Purchase Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II at an assumed purchase price per share of $3.43 (without taking into account the 19.99% Exchange Cap limitation), representing the closing sale price of our Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on April 30, 2024, we would only receive approximately $32.6 million in aggregate gross proceeds from the sale of such Purchase Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. Depending on the market prices of our Class A Common Stock on the Purchase Dates on which we elect to sell such Purchase Shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement, we may need to register under the Securities Act additional shares of our Class A Common Stock for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II which, together with the 9,500,000 Purchase Shares included in this prospectus, will enable us to issue and sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II such aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement as will be necessary in order for us to receive aggregate proceeds equal to B. Riley Principal Capital II's $100,000,000 maximum aggregate purchase commitment available to us under the Purchase Agreement.

If we elect to issue and sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II more than the 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being registered under the Securities Act for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus, which we have the right, but not the obligation, to do, we must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Class A Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act for the offer and resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II of any such additional shares of our Class A Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of our Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of Class A Common Stock in addition to the 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being registered for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders.

The number of shares of Class A Common Stock ultimately offered for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II through this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, we elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement from and after the Commencement Date. The issuance of our Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted. Although the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares of our Class A Common Stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock after any such issuance.

On December 14, 18, 2023, the Merger was approved by the shareholders of Chavant, and on December 21, 2023, the previously announced transactions pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement were consummated.

1 unchanged paragraph

Upon the Closing of the Merger and after giving effect to redemptions of 667,925 shares outstanding prior to the completion of the Merger, amounting to $6.7 million, as of the Closing, the cash on hand in Chavant's trust account was $1.2 million. Although we did not receive all of the cash originally held in Chavant's trust account, we believe our ability to continue funding our existing and future operations is not dependent upon having received all such funds and instead we have been, and believe we will continue to be, able to satisfy our capital needs from our operations and from other financing activities, including our committed equity facility with B. Riley Principal Capital II (the "Committed Equity Facility") to which this prospectus relates.

Since the Merger, the amount of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding increased to approximately 24,609,287 shares as of April 30, May 1, 2024. Additional shares of our Class A Common Stock may become outstanding in the future as a result of any issuance of the 3.5 million earnout shares (the "Earnout Shares") issuable to certain Legacy Mobix stockholders and option holders based on the achievement of trading price targets during the seven -year period (the "Earnout Period"), any issuance of up to 1,052,030 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to certain investors if the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock is below $10 following the registration of the additional securities with the SEC the denominator of which is the make -whole shares (the "Make -Whole Shares"), the exercise of warrants, any issuance upon the exercise of options or the vesting of restricted stock units or pursuant to the 2023 Equity Incentive Plan or the 2023 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The issuance and sale of any such shares, including sales pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to which this prospectus relates in the public market could adversely impact the market price of our Class A Common Stock even if the business is doing well.

The shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants being offered for resale in this prospectus and the Purchase Shares being offered for resale in the Additional Prospectus represent 119.5% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, a substantial percentage of the total outstanding shares of our shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024. The Purchase Shares being offered in the Additional Prospectus represent approximately 38.6% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, whereas the Selling Securityholders beneficially own approximately 60.7% of our currently outstanding Class A Common Stock, in each case, as of May 1, 2024. Additionally, if all the Private Placement Warrants are exercised, the holders would own an additional 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024. The sale of the Offered Securities, together with the sale of the Purchase Shares held by B. Riley, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of our securities. At any time after the expiration of a lock -up period applicable to certain shares held by the Selling Securityholders, so long as the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part remains effective and usable, the Selling Securityholders will be able to sell some or all of such shares pursuant to this prospectus at the same time as B. Riley is able to sell the Purchase Shares, if any, pursuant to the Additional Prospectus.

Committed Equity Facility

On March 18, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and a related Registration Rights Agreement with B. Riley which provides us the right, in our sole discretion, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, to sell to B. Riley up to 9,500,000 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over a period of up to 36 months, unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated. Any sales of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at our option, and we are under no obligation to sell any securities to B. Riley. The per share purchase price that B. Riley will pay for shares of Class A Common Stock will be determined by reference to the volume weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock measured over the regular trading session or intraday period of the trading session on Nasdaq on the date of each purchase, less a three percent discount.

As consideration for B. Riley's commitment to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock, we agreed to pay a cash commitment fee in the amount of $1,500,000. B. Riley will withhold 30% in cash from the total aggregate purchase price until B. Riley has received the entire cash commitment fee. If any portion of the commitment fee remains unpaid on the earlier of the termination of the agreement or December 15, 2024, then we must pay B. Riley the remainder of commitment fee in cash. We also agreed to reimburse B. Riley for reasonable legal fees and disbursements in an amount not to exceed $75,000 upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement and $5,000 per fiscal quarter. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we filed a registration statement with the SEC to register under the Securities Act, the offer and resale by B. Riley of up to 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock that we may elect to sell to B. Riley. The registration statement was declared effective on May 13, 2024.

The amount and timing of the proceeds we may receive from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, will depend on a number of factors, including the numbers of shares we may elect to sell, the timing of such sales, the future market price of the Class A Common stock and the payment of the cash commitment fee.

We currently expect to utilize our Committed Equity Facility with B. Riley and may in the future seek additional equity or debt financing. While we may seek to raise additional capital, we cannot assure you that the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our existing stockholders may result. The sale of a substantial percentage of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus, together with the sale of Purchase Shares being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, may make it more difficult for us to issue additional equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. Any equity securities we issue may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our Class A Common Stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings may impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of volatility that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing. In addition, recent and potential future increases in federal fund rates set by the Federal Reserve, which serve as a benchmark for rates on borrowing, could adversely impact the cost or availability of debt financing.

Acquisition of RaGE Systems Inc.

On May 21, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of RaGE Systems, Inc. ("RaGE Systems") pursuant to the "RaGE Business Combination Agreement." RaGE Systems specializes in developing products for 5G communications, mmWave imaging, and software defined radio targeting the commercial, industrial, and defense and aerospace sectors.

Aggregate consideration for the acquisition was $12,000,000, consisting of 3,214,045 shares of our Class A Common Stock and $2,000,000 in cash, of which $200,000 was payable on the closing date; $1,000,000 will be payable on November 15, 2024 and $800,000 will be payable on April 15, 2025. We also entered into employment agreements with each of the RaGE stockholders. Pursuant to the RaGE Business Combination Agreement, the RaGE stockholders will also be entitled to receive possible earn -out payments of up to $8,000,000 over eight fiscal quarters, payable in a combination of cash and shares of our Class A Common Stock, based upon the satisfaction of certain financial metrics and continued employment with us. The RaGE Business Combination Agreement also provides the RaGE stockholders with "piggy -back " registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Conflict of Interest

B. Riley Principal Capital II is an affiliate of B. Riley Securities, Inc. ("BRS"), a registered broker -dealer and FINRA member. BRS will act as an executing broker that will effectuate resales of our Class A Common Stock that have been and may be acquired by B. Riley Principal Capital II from us pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to the public in this offering.

Because B. Riley Principal Capital II will receive all the net proceeds from such resales of our Class A Common Stock made to the public through BRS, BRS is deemed to have a "conflict of interest" within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121, which requires that a "qualified independent underwriter," as defined in FINRA Rule 5121, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of "due diligence" with respect thereto. Accordingly, we have engaged Seaport Global Securities LLC ("Seaport"), to be the qualified independent underwriter in this offering and, in such capacity, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of "due diligence" with respect thereto. B. Riley Principal Capital II has agreed to pay Seaport a cash fee of $50,000 upon the completion of this offering as consideration for its services and to reimburse Seaport up to $5,000 for expenses incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, such cash fee and expense reimbursement to be paid to Seaport for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering are deemed to be underwriting compensation in connection with sales of our Class A Common Stock by B. Riley Principal Capital II to the public.

In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, BRS is not permitted to sell shares of our Class A Common Stock in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder. See "Plan of Distribution (Conflict of Interest)."

Our Offering of Shares of Class A Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder

Up to 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants.

Shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding prior to this offering offered by the Selling Securityholders

Up to 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders

Up to 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants.

Class A Common Stock outstanding

24,609,287 shares (as of April 30, May 1, 2024).

Class B Common Stock outstanding

2,254,901 shares (as of May 1, 2024).

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants to be offered by the Selling Securityholders. Assuming the subsequent exercise of all of the Public Warrants for cash, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $34.7 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants. However, no assurance can be given that the Public Warrants will ever be exercised, particularly to the extent the current market price for our Class A Common Stock continues to be significantly below the exercise price of the Public Warrants. When the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our ability to continue funding our existing and future operations is not dependent upon receiving cash proceeds from the exercise of any Warrants. See "Use of Proceeds."

Certain of our stockholders are subject to certain restrictions on transfer until the termination of applicable lock -up periods. See "Securities Act Restrictions on Resale of Securities — Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -up Agreement" for further discussion.

This offering involves the potential sale of up to 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represents approximately 108.6% of our total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024, assuming the cash exercise of all of the Company's outstanding Warrants. In addition, this offering involves the potential sale of a significant number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, the PIPE Warrants, the Class B Common Stock, options and shares of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance as Make -Whole Shares and issuable upon settlement of RSUs.

Risks Related to the Offering

It is not possible to predict the actual number of shares we will sell under the Purchase Agreement to B. Riley Principal Capital II, or the actual gross proceeds resulting from those sales.

On March 18, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, pursuant to which B. Riley Principal Capital II has committed to purchasing up to $100,000,000 of shares of the Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The shares of the Class A Common Stock that may be issued under the Purchase Agreement may be sold by us to B. Riley Principal Capital II at our discretion from time to time for a period of up to 36 months, unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated, beginning on the Commencement Date.

We generally have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of the shares of Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. Sales of the Class A Common Stock, if any, to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement will depend upon market conditions and other factors to be determined by our company. We may ultimately decide to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II all, some, or none of the shares of the Class A Common Stock that may be available for us to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

Because the per -share purchase price that B. Riley Principal Capital II will pay for Purchase Shares in any Market Open Purchase or Intraday Purchase that we may elect to effect pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be determined by reference to the VWAP during the applicable Market Open Purchase Valuation Period or Intraday Purchase Valuation Period, respectively, on the applicable Purchase Date for such Market Open Purchase or Intraday Purchase, as of the date of this prospectus, it is not possible for us to predict the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that we will sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price per share that B. Riley Principal Capital II will pay for shares purchased from us under the Purchase Agreement, or the aggregate gross proceeds that we will receive from those purchases by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement.

Although the Purchase Agreement provides that we may sell up to an aggregate of $100,000,000 of the Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, only 9,500,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock are being registered under the Securities Act for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus. If it becomes necessary for us to issue and sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement more than the 9,500,000 Purchase Shares being registered under the Securities Act for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under the registration statement that includes this prospectus in order to receive aggregate gross proceeds equal to $100,000,000 under the Purchase Agreement, we must first (i) obtain stockholder approval to issue shares of Common Stock in excess of the Exchange Cap under the Purchase Agreement in accordance with applicable Nasdaq rules and (ii) file with the SEC one or more additional registration statements to register under the Securities Act the resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II of any such additional shares of the Class A Common Stock we wish to sell from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, which the SEC must declare effective, in each case before we may elect to sell any additional shares of the Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement. Any issuance and sale by us under the Purchase Agreement of a substantial amount of shares of Class A Common Stock in addition to the 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock being registered for resale by B. Riley Principal Capital II under this prospectus could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares of the Class A Common Stock ultimately offered for sale by B. Riley Principal Capital II is dependent upon the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, we ultimately elect to sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement.

Investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold to B. Riley Principal Capital II. If and when we elect to sell shares of the Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, after B. Riley Principal Capital II has acquired such shares, it 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 B. Riley Principal Capital II in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices for those shares and 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 B. Riley Principal Capital II in this offering as a result of future sales made by us to B. Riley Principal Capital II at prices lower than the prices such investors paid for their shares in this offering. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with B. Riley Principal Capital II may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity -related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect such sales.

Mobix Labs' management team will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from Mobix Labs' sale of shares of Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, if any.

Our management team will have broad discretion regarding the utilization of the net proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II, if any, and we could allocate such proceeds for purposes other than those initially contemplated at the time of this offering's commencement. Consequently, investors will depend on the judgment of our management team concerning the allocation of these net proceeds, without the opportunity to evaluate whether they are being utilized appropriately as part of their investment decision. The ineffective utilization of such funds by our management team could potentially result in significant adverse effects on our business, financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.

The Purchase Shares being offered in this prospectus together with the Additional Securities being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectus represent a substantial percentage of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, and the sales of such securities, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline significantly.

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by B. Riley Principal Capital II of up to 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which we may elect in our sole discretion to issue and sell to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement from time to time after the Commencement Date. Assuming the issuance of all of the Purchase Shares being registered for resale pursuant this prospectus to B. Riley Principal Capital II under the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Shares would represent approximately 27.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 30, 2024.

In addition to this prospectus, we have filed the Additional Prospectus that relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Additional Sellers of (a) 20,717,539 shares of Class A Common Stock, which include up to (i) 5,646,701 shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 2,254,901 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock that were issued as consideration to certain former stockholders of Legacy Mobix in the Merger (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), (ii) 2,608,600 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to vesting or exercise of Legacy Mobix equity awards that were assumed in connection with the Merger (the "Equity Award Shares") with exercise prices ranging from $0.17 to $6.84 per share, (iii) 337,020 shares of Class A Common Stock subject to exercise of Legacy Mobix warrants that were assumed in connection with the Merger (the "Legacy Warrant Shares") with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, (iv) 1,975,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issued to certain investors (the "PIPE Investors") in private placements in connection with the Merger (the "PIPE Shares") at a cash price of $10.00, (v) 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "PIPE Warrant Shares") issued to the PIPE Investors with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which, when combined with the purchase price of the PIPE Shares, results in a weighted average price for the PIPE Shares of $5.03 per PIPE Share, (vi) 1,341,369 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Founder Shares") issued at a price of $0.0009 per share, (vii) 471,919 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Sponsor PIPE Shares") that were issued to Chavant Capital Partners LLC (the "Sponsor") at a price of $10.00 per share, (viii) 280,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Advisor Shares") that were issued to the Representatives (as defined below) in lieu of cash fees and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2021 (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), and (ix) an additional 1,052,030 Make -Whole Shares, and (b) 3,000,000 warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock issued to the Sponsor at the time of the Chavant IPO at a price of $1.00 per warrant (the "Private Placement Warrants," and together with the PIPE Warrants and the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"). The Additional Prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of up to (i) 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Public Warrant Shares") that are issuable by us upon the exercise of the Public Warrants sold as part of the units in the Chavant IPO at a price of $10.00 with each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share of Chavant and three -quarters of one Public Warrant, and (ii) 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants.

As of the date of this prospectus, the price at which our shares of Class A Common Stock trades is lower than the initial trading price of the shares sold pursuant to the Chavant IPO. Despite the differences in the trading price of our securities and the initial trading price of the securities of Chavant, certain of the Additional Sellers may be incentivized to sell their shares because they may experience a positive rate of return on the securities that they purchased due to the differences in the purchase prices described in the preceding paragraph and the public trading price of our securities. Based on the closing price of our shares of Class A Common Stock of $3.43 as of April 30, 2024, upon the sale of our shares of Class A Common Stock, the Additional Sellers, who obtained their offered securities at prices or values below the current market price, may experience a potential profit as follows: (i) the PIPE Investors and the Sponsor with respect to the sale of Sponsor PIPE Shares may experience a potential loss of up to $1.60 per share, however they would receive a potential profit of up to $3.43 upon the sale of any Make -Whole Shares they receive, (ii) the Sponsor and other holders of Founder Shares may experience a potential profit of up to $3.43 per share, (iii) the Additional Sellers may receive a potential profit of up to $3.43 upon the sale of Equity Award Shares with respect to Equity Awards (less the applicable exercise price of between $0.17 to $6.84 per share), (iv) holders of Legacy Warrant Shares would receive a potential profit of up to $3.42, and (v) the Representatives would receive a potential loss of up to $2.66 per share upon the sale of the Advisor Shares. Based on the closing price of the Public Warrants of $0.2453 as of April 30, 2024, upon the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsor may experience a potential loss of up to $0.7547 per Private Placement Warrant. Other Additional Sellers, including those that purchased securities in the Chavant IPO, may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the prices or values at which the Additional Sellers were issued the additional securities and the current trading price of the Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants.

The shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants being offered for resale in the Additional Prospectus and the Purchase Shares being offered for resale in this prospectus represent 122.8% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, a substantial percentage of the total outstanding shares of our shares of Class A Common Stock as of as of April 30, 2024. The outstanding Shares of Class A Common Stock being offered in this prospectus represent approximately 38.6% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, whereas certain Additional Sellers beneficially owns approximately 60.7% of our current outstanding Class A Common Stock, in each case, as of April 30, 2024. Additionally, if all the Private Placement Warrants are exercised, the Additional Sellers would own an additional 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 30, 2024.

The sale of the Purchase Shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus together with the sale of the Additional Securities held by the Additional Sellers pursuant to the Additional Prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock.

During the Earnout Period, we may issue up to an aggregate of 3,500,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to certain holders. A significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock could result in no earnout triggering events occurring and no Earnout Shares being issued. If Earnout Shares are issued, the holders thereof may seek to sell some or all of Earnout Shares on or after an earnout triggering event, which sales or perception of potential sales could also depress the market price of our securities.

Since inception, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows, primarily due to our ongoing investment in product development. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, we incurred losses from operations of $35.5 million and $23.7 million, respectively. For the three six months ended December March 31, 2023, 2024 and 2022, 2023, we incurred losses from operations of $17.3 $25.8 million and $9.2 $21.1 million, respectively. As of December March 31, 2023, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $82.8 $85.8 million.

We believe that there is substantial doubt concerning our ability to continue as a going concern as we currently do not have adequate liquidity to meet our operating needs and satisfy our obligations beyond the next approximately ninety days. We will need to raise additional working capital to continue our normal and planned operations. We will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability. In addition, as a public company, we will incur increased accounting, legal, and other expenses. These expenditures will make it necessary for us to continue to raise additional working capital. Our efforts to grow our business may be costlier than expected, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset our increased operating expenses. We may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events. Accordingly, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our business and otherwise implement our growth initiatives and strategies.

In the future, we will require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics, customer demands, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions, or unforeseen circumstances. We may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. In order to further business relationships with current or potential customers or partners, we may issue equity or equity -linked securities to such current or potential customers or partners. For instance, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with B. Riley, Principal Capital II, pursuant to which B. Riley Principal Capital II committed to purchase up to $100,000,000 of shares of our Class A Common Stock, subject to certain limitations and conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. See "Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Offering." We may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt or other equity -linked securities, our existing stockholders could experience significant dilution. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited.

Identifying suitable acquisition candidates can be difficult, time -consuming , and costly, and we may not be able to identify suitable candidates or successfully complete identified acquisitions. In addition, completing an acquisition can could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations, which could harm the business and affect financial results. Even if we complete an acquisition, we may not be able to successfully integrate newly acquired organizations, products, technologies, or employees into our operations or may not fully realize some of the expected synergies. An acquired company may have deficiencies in product quality, regulatory marketing authorizations or certifications, or intellectual property protections, which are not detected during due diligence activities or which are unasserted at the time of acquisition. It may be difficult, expensive, and time -consuming for us to re -establish market access, regulatory compliance, or cure such deficiencies in product quality or intellectual property protection in such cases, which may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

The Offered Securities being offered in this prospectus, together with the Purchase Shares being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectus, represent a substantial percentage of our outstanding Class A Common Stock, and the sales of such securities, or the perception that these sales could occur, could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to decline significantly.

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders of (a) 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock, which include up to (i) 5,646,701 shares of Class A Common Stock and up to 2,254,901 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock that were issued as consideration to certain former stockholders of Legacy Mobix in the Merger (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), (ii) 1,784,517 Equity Award Shares with exercise prices ranging from $0.17 to $6.84 per share, (iii) 337,020 Legacy Warrant Shares with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, (iv) 1,975,000 PIPE Shares at a cash price of $10.00, (v) 1,750,000 PIPE Warrant Shares issued to the PIPE Investors with an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which, when combined with the purchase price of the PIPE Shares, results in a weighted average price for the PIPE Shares of $5.03 per PIPE Share, (vi) 1,341,369 Founder Shares issued at a price of $0.0009 per share, (vii) 471,919 Sponsor PIPE Shares that were issued to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per share and have been distributed to its members, (viii) 280,000 Advisor Shares that were issued to the Representatives in lieu of cash fees and reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the Marketing Agreement (valued at $10.00 per share at the time of the Merger), (ix) an additional 1,052,030 Make -Whole Shares, and (x) 12,496 Settlement Shares, and (b) 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants. This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of up to (i) 6,000,000 Public Warrant Share that are issuable by us upon the exercise of the Public Warrants sold as part of the units in the Chavant IPO at a price of $10.00 with each unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share of Chavant and three -quarters of one Public Warrant, and (ii) 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. In addition to this prospectus, we have filed the Additional Prospectus that relates to the offer and sale from time to time by B. Riley of up to 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which we may elect in our sole discretion to issue and sell to B. Riley under the Purchase Agreement from time to time. Assuming the issuance of all of the Offered Securities being registered for resale pursuant this prospectus, the Offered Securities would represent approximately 52.1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024.

As of the date of this prospectus, the price at which our shares of Class A Common Stock trades is lower than the initial trading price of the shares sold pursuant to the Chavant IPO. Despite the differences in the trading price of our securities and the initial trading price of the securities of Chavant, certain of the Selling Securityholders may be incentivized to sell their shares because they may experience a positive rate of return on the securities that they purchased due to the differences in the purchase prices described in the preceding paragraph and the public trading price of our securities. Based on the closing price of our shares of Class A Common Stock of $3.32 as of May 1, 2024, upon the sale of our shares of Class A Common Stock, the Selling Securityholders, who obtained their offered securities at prices or values below the current market price, may experience a potential profit as follows: (i) the PIPE Investors and members of the Sponsor with respect to the sale of Sponsor PIPE Shares may experience a potential loss of up to $6.68 per share (based on the weighted average price at which the PIPE Shares were purchased), however they would receive a potential profit of up to $3.32 upon the sale of any Make -Whole Shares they receive, (ii) the members of the Sponsor and other holders of Founder Shares may experience a potential profit of up to $3.32 per share, (iii) the Legacy Mobix holders may receive a potential profit of up to $3.32 upon the sale of Equity Award Shares with respect to Equity Awards (less the applicable exercise price of between $0.17 to $6.84 per share), (iv) holders of Legacy Warrant Shares would receive a potential profit of up to $3.31, and (v) the Representatives would receive a potential loss of up to $2.77 per share upon the sale of the Advisor Shares. Based on the closing price of the Public Warrants of $0.15 as of May 28, 2024, upon the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, the members of the Sponsor may experience a potential loss of up to $0.7547 per Private Placement Warrant. Other holders, including those that purchased securities in the Chavant IPO, may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchased due to differences in the prices or values at which the Selling Stockholders described above were issued the securities they hold and the current trading price of the Class A Common Stock and the Public Warrants.

The shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants being offered for resale in this prospectus and the Purchase Shares being offered for resale in the Additional Prospectus represent 119.5% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock, a substantial percentage of the total outstanding shares of our shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024. The Purchase Shares being offered in the Additional Prospectus represent approximately 38.6% of our outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, whereas the Selling Securityholders beneficially own approximately 60.7% of our currently outstanding Class A Common Stock, in each case, as of May 1, 2024. Additionally, if all the Private Placement Warrants are exercised, the Selling Securityholders would own an additional 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 10.9% of the total outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of May 1, 2024.

The sale of the Purchase Shares being offered pursuant to the Additional Prospectus, together with the sale of the Offered Securities held by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, or the perception that these sales could occur, could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock.

During the Earnout Period, we may issue up to an aggregate of 3,500,000 additional shares of Class A Common Stock to certain holders. A significant decline in the public trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock could result in no earnout triggering events occurring and no Earnout Shares being issued. If Earnout Shares are issued, the holders thereof may seek to sell some or all of Earnout Shares on or after an earnout triggering event, which sales or perception of potential sales could also depress the market price of our securities.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, so long as the registration statement of which this Additional Prospectus forms a part remains effective and this prospectus remains usable and the Purchase Agreement has not been terminated, B. Riley Principal Capital II may purchase up to 9,500,000 Purchase Shares from time to time pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, which represent approximately 38.6% of our currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as of April 30, May 1, 2024, and may continuously resell some of all of the Purchase Shares purchased from us to the public market at any time and as needed to not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

In addition to this the Additional Prospectus, and as disclosed above, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement and other subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Closing, we filed this registration statement of which the Additional this prospectus forms a part with the SEC on April 15, 2024 to register for resale 20,717,539 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Additional Sellers, Selling Securityholders, including shares issued, or issuable, to Sponsor, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Craig -Hallum Capital Group LLC the Representatives and their designees, certain equityholders of Chavant (collectively with the Sponsor and its members, the "Founder Equityholders") and certain equityholders of Mobix Labs (the "Legacy Mobix Holders" and, together with the Founder Equityholders and certain other holders, the "Holders"). Prior to the expiration or termination of the applicable provisions of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement, the subject 12,141,466 Founder Shares and "Legacy Mobix Lock -up Shares" (as defined in the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement and, together with the Founder Shares, the "Lock -Up Shares") will be restricted from resale, which may reduce the public "float" of our Class A Common Stock, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our Class A Common Stock on a national securities exchange, and possibly having the effect of reducing the trading market for shares of our Class A Common Stock, which could adversely affect the price of shares of our Class A Common Stock.

At any time after the expiration of a lock -up period applicable to certain shares held by the parties to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights and Lock -Up Agreement and the other subscription agreements entered into in connection with the Closing, Shares, so long as the this registration statement of which the Additional this prospectus forms a part remains effective and the Additional Prospectus remains usable, such stockholders, the Selling Securityholders, who beneficially owning own approximately 60.7% 34.4% of our current outstanding Class A Common Stock as of April 30, May 1, 2024, will be able to sell some or all of such Lock -Up Shares pursuant to the Additional this prospectus and at the same time as B. Riley Principal Capital II reselling the Purchase Shares, if any, pursuant to this the Additional Prospectus.

Sales of our Class A Common Stock (including sales of Lock -Up Shares as restrictions end or pursuant to registration rights) may make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. These sales also could cause the trading price of our Class A Common Stock to fall and make it more difficult for you to sell shares of Class A Common Stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

Moreover, continuous sales of a substantial number of our shares of Class A Common Stock in the public market pursuant to both the Additional Prospectus and this prospectus (which equals approximately 122.8% of the total outstanding shares of our Class A Common Stock as of April 30, May 1, 2024, calculated as 9,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock potentially issuable to B. Riley Principal Capital II plus the Additional Securities 19,905,953 shares of Class A Common Stock being offered by the Additional Sellers, Selling Securityholders, divided by 24,609,287 currently outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock), or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our securities. The frequency of such sales could cause the market price of our securities to decline or increase the volatility in the market price of our securities.

As of December March 31, 2023, 2024, we have warrants outstanding, which are exercisable to purchase an aggregate of 12,295,020 12,320,020 shares of Class A Common Stock for prices ranging from $0.01 to $5.79 per share (subject to adjustments as set forth in the applicable warrants). To the extent such warrants are exercised, additional shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of Class A Common Stock and will increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the market price of Class A Common Stock. However, when the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants.

Our Charter and the Bylaws provide for an exclusive forum in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for certain disputes between us and our stockholders, and that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act.

Under the Amendment to the Warrant Agreement, claims that may be brought against us must be resolved by final and binding arbitration, which follows a set of procedures and may be more restrictive than litigation.

The amendment to the warrant agreement entered into by Chavant and Continental Stock Transfer, dated July 19, 2021 (as amended, December 21, 2023 (the "Amendment to the Warrant Agreement"), provides that any dispute, controversy, or claim, whether in contract or tort, arising or relating to the Amendment to the Warrant Agreement or the enforcement, breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Orange County, California, before one neutral and impartial arbitrator, in accordance with the laws of the state of New York. As a result, warrant holders will not be able to pursue litigation in federal or state court against us, and instead, will be required to pursue such claims through a final and binding arbitration proceeding.

The Amendment to the Warrant Agreement provides that such arbitration proceedings would generally be administered by JAMS and conducted in accordance with the rules and policies set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. These rules and policies may provide significantly more limited rights than litigation in a federal or state court. The mandatory arbitration provisions of the Amendment to the Warrant Agreement may discourage warrant holders from bringing, and attorneys from agreeing to represent such parties in, claims against us. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in the warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the mandatory arbitration provisions.

The mandatory arbitration provisions in the Amendment to the Warrant Agreement do not relieve us of our duties to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe the provisions of the Amendment to the Warrant Agreement are enforceable under both federal and state law, including with respect to federal securities law claims; however, there is uncertainty as to their enforceability, and it is possible that they may ultimately be determined to be unenforceable.

Use of proceeds 7 changes

All of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Stockholder for its account. We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of Class A Common Stock included in this prospectus by the Selling Stockholder. However, we may receive up to $100,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds under the Purchase Agreement from sales of Class A Common Stock that we may elect to make to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if any, from time to time in our sole discretion, from and after the Commencement Date. The net proceeds from sales, if any, under the Purchase Agreement, will depend on the frequency and prices at which we sell our Class A Common Stock to B. Riley Principal Capital II after the date of this prospectus.

We expect that any proceeds received by us from sales to B. Riley Principal Capital II pursuant to the Purchase Agreement will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses, and the respective amounts we may allocate to those uses, for any net proceeds we receive. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds.

We have engaged Seaport, a registered broker -dealer and FINRA member, to act as a qualified independent underwriter in this offering and, in such capacity, participate in the preparation of the registration statement that includes this prospectus and exercise the usual standards of "due diligence" with respect thereto. B. Riley Principal Capital II has agreed to pay Seaport a cash fee of $50,000 upon the completion of this offering as consideration for its services and to reimburse Seaport up to $5,000 for expenses incurred in connection with acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110, such cash fee and expense reimbursement to be paid to Seaport for acting as the qualified independent underwriter in this offering are deemed to be underwriting compensation in connection with sales of our Class A Common Stock by B. Riley Principal Capital II to the public.

All of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions, stock transfer taxes and certain legal expenses incurred by such Selling Securityholders in disposing of their shares of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants, and we will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of such securities covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

Assuming the subsequent exercise of all of the Public Warrants for cash, we will receive an aggregate of approximately $34.7 million in gross proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants. However, no assurance can be given that the Public Warrants will ever be exercised, particularly to the extent the current market price for our Class A Common Stock continues to be significantly below the exercise price of the Public Warrants. When the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants. To the extent that the Public Warrants are exercised on a "cashless basis," the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the Public Warrants will decrease.

We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants, if any, for working capital and general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of any proceeds from the exercise of the Public Warrants. Our ability to continue funding our existing and future operations is not dependent upon receiving cash proceeds from the exercise of any warrants.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited and unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in this prospectus. Certain information included in this discussion contains forward -looking statements that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied by the forward -looking statements. Forward -looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and currently available data and are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events or performance. You should not place undue reliance on forward -looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. See the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward -Looking Statements" for a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by forward -looking statements. All amounts presented in this "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Mobix Labs" are in thousands, except numbers of shares and per share amounts.

Based in Irvine, California, we are a fabless semiconductor company developing disruptive wireless mmWave 5G and C -Band wireless solutions and delivering connectivity and electromagnetic filtering products for next generation communications systems supporting the aerospace, military, defense, medical and other markets requiring HiRel and HiRel products. To enhance our product portfolio, we also intend to pursue acquisitions of companies with existing revenue which can be scaled, and which possess technologies that accelerate the speed, accessibility, and efficiency of disruptive or more efficient communications solutions, and which will also allow us to expand into strategically aligned industries. Our wireless mmWave 5G integrated circuits currently in development are designed to deliver significant advantages in performance, efficiency, size, and cost. Our True Xero AOC, which have been in production for several years and were acquired in the Cosemi acquisition, are designed to meet customer needs for high -quality active optical cable solutions at an affordable price. Our electromagnetic interference ("EMI") filtering products, which were acquired in the EMI Solutions acquisition, are designed for, and are currently used in aerospace, military, defense and medical applications. These innovative technologies are designed for large and rapidly growing markets where there are increasing demands for higher performance communication and filtering systems which utilize an expanding mix of both wireless and connectivity technologies.

On December 21, 2023, we consummated the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

We were founded with the goal of simplifying the development and maximizing the performance of wireless mmWave wireless 5G products by designing and developing high performance, cost -effective , and ultra -compact semiconductor components and solutions used for signal processing applications in wireless products. Since our inception, our corporate strategy has evolved to encompass the pursuit of acquisitions in diverse industry sectors, including aerospace, military, defense, medical and HiRel technology, as part of our commitment to enhancing communication services. We have developed and/or acquired an extensive intellectual property portfolio comprised of patents and trade secrets that are critical to commercializing our communication products and communications technologies. In leveraging our proprietary technology, we aim to scale the growth of our product revenue for our integrated circuits and components by serving large and rapidly growing markets where we believe there are increasing demands for higher performance communication technologies, including both wireless and connectivity systems. We are actively pursuing customer engagements with manufacturers of wireless communications, aerospace, military, defense, medical and HiRel products.

In 2021, we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets including intellectual property of Cosemi, an Irvine, California -based global supplier of high -speed connectivity solutions. Cosemi's intellectual property portfolio included a broad range of AOCs and optical engines that deliver optimal connectivity to a wide range of applications, including home entertainment, gaming, augmented reality and virtual reality, video conferencing, medical, mobile devices and monitors, among others. The acquisition of Cosemi built the foundation for our current connectivity business. We believe the patented cable technology and AOC optical chip solutions from Cosemi along with our innovative wireless semiconductor technologies provide more opportunities in the wireless C -Band and mmWave 5G market as the need for faster, more reliable data transmission becomes ever more apparent, whether it is for the data center, infrastructure, home entertainment or consumer electronics market.

Committed Equity Facility

On March 18, 2024, we entered into the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with the Selling Stockholder. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, we will have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley up to $100,000 of newly issued shares of our Class A Common Stock (subject to certain conditions and limitations contained in the Purchase Agreement), from time to time during the term of the Purchase Agreement. See "Committed Equity Facility" for more information.

We accounted for the Merger as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Chavant is treated as the "acquired" company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on holders of Legacy Mobix capital stock comprising a majority of the voting power of our common stock upon consummation of the Merger and having the ability to nominate the majority of our Board, Legacy Mobix's senior management comprising our senior management, and Legacy Mobix's operations comprising our ongoing operations. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, our financial statements represent a continuation of the financial statements of Legacy Mobix with the Merger being treated as the equivalent of Legacy Mobix issuing shares for the net assets of Chavant, accompanied by a recapitalization. We recognized the net assets of Chavant as of the Closing at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Our operations prior to the Merger are presented as those of Legacy Mobix and the accumulated deficit of Legacy Mobix has been carried forward after Closing. All issued and outstanding securities of Chavant at the time of the Closing were treated as issuances of securities by us upon the consummation of the Merger.

As a result of the Merger, we raised gross proceeds of $21,014, including the contribution of $1,264 of cash held in the Trust Account and the $19,750 private investment in public equity ("PIPE") at $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock. Our Class A Common Stock and Public Warrants began trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols "MOBX" and "MOBXW", respectively, on December 22, 2023. When the market price for our Class A Common Stock is less than $5.79 (i.e., when the Public Warrants are "out of the money"), which it is at the time of this prospectus, we believe that warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Public Warrants.

Acquisition of EMI Solutions, Inc.

On December 18, 2023, we completed the acquisition of EMI Solutions when we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of EMI Solutions. EMI Solutions is a manufacturer of electromagnetic interference filtering products for aerospace, military, defense and medical applications. We expect the acquisition of EMI Solutions to complement our existing product offerings, expands our customer base and allows us to deliver solutions that address a wider variety of applications and markets. Consideration for the acquisition of EMI Solutions consisted of 964,912 shares of Legacy Mobix common stock and $2,200 in cash. We valued the common stock at $8,856, based on the fair value of the Legacy Mobix common stock at the time of the acquisition. Additional details of our accounting for our acquisition of EMI Solutions are included in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

To address our capital limitations and focus our use of cash on the completion of the Merger, which closed on December 21, 2023, and our acquisition of EMI Solutions, which closed on December 18, 2023, we reduced our headcount and temporarily furloughed approximately half of our employees on an unpaid basis since the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. We also reduced our use of outside services and other costs and deferred discretionary expenditures. As a result of these actions, we reduced our operating expenses — except for stock -based compensation expense — for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to our actual expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2023. In January 2024, we permanently reduced our headcount by approximately 35%, consisting of employees previously placed on temporary furlough.

Financing Activities

During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we had additional financing activity, principally consisting of the issuance of promissory notes, convertible notes and Legacy Mobix common stock. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources," below, and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

COVID-19 Pandemic, Supply Chain Disruptions and Impact of Inflation

The COVID -19 pandemic has caused, and may continue to cause, a disruption and restrictions on our ability to travel, temporary closures of our office buildings and the facilities of our customers or suppliers, cancellations or modification of events, and disruptions at our manufacturers and suppliers located in Vietnam, Taiwan and China, including the COVID -19 lockdown in Shanghai in the first half of 2022 that led to substantial delays in our supply chain in China. We have experienced delays in shipments and product launches that have negatively impacted our sales and operating results relating to our connectivity business, and any future delays, due to pandemics or otherwise, could have a materially negative effect in the future. We also experienced a decline in revenue for the year ended September 30, 2023 due to a decrease in product sales resulting from supply chain constraints that limited our ability to meet demand from our largest customer. In addition, the COVID -19 lockdown in Vietnam triggered operational and solvency challenges for our Vietnamese manufacturer beginning in the first half of calendar year 2023. In response, we transitioned to higher cost manufacturers in Taiwan in July 2023 to ramp up production. However, this shift has resulted, and will continue to result in, lower margins than expected.

To help mitigate the COVID -19 related disruptions at our contract manufacturers and suppliers where we experienced a delay in our supply chain to support our orders, we used higher cost shipping and manufacturing alternatives. Additional COVID -19 disruptions limited our supply availability forcing us to move to less cost -effective components and materials. The higher cost shipping and manufacturing alternatives and components and materials resulting from supply chain disruptions negatively impacted our gross margin more than we anticipated in our outlook for our business. These constraints continue to exist and are expected to continue to materially impact our gross margin percentage. We are continuing to implement operational measures to minimize the turnaround time in fulfilling our orders. We are also currently designing and plan to introduce lower cost products as alternatives with more competitively priced components, aiming to maintain performance standards. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to offset the negative impact of supply chain disruptions on our gross margin and net income (loss).

In addition to general levels of inflation that we have experienced, we are also subject to risk of specific inflationary pressures due to the expected continuing impacts of the COVID -19 pandemic and related global supply chain disruptions, including increases in commodity prices for materials and components and shipping costs that have had a negative impact on our gross margin. If inflation remains high or increases, our gross margin and results of operations will be further negatively impacted. To mitigate the effect of inflation, as described above, we are designing and plan to introduce lower cost products as alternatives with more competitively priced components, aiming to maintain performance standards. In addition, we have qualified another Taiwanese manufacturer for our connectivity products to foster competition among our manufacturers. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be sufficient to offset the negative impact of inflation on our gross margin and net loss.

We derive our net revenues primarily from product sales to equipment manufacturers. We recognize product revenue when we satisfy performance obligations under the terms of our contracts and upon transfer of control when title transfers (either upon shipment to or receipt by the customer, as determined by the contractual shipping terms of the contract), net of accruals for estimated sales returns and allowances (which were not material for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022). Sales and other taxes we collect, if any, are excluded from net revenue.

Our revenues fluctuate based on a variety of factors, including the timing of the receipt of orders from our customers, product mix, competitor price offerings, global economic conditions, and other factors.

Our net revenues were $285 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $679 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $394 or 58%. The change principally reflects a $462 decrease in sales of our connectivity products, driven by reduced demand from our largest customer during the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in net revenues from our connectivity products was partially offset by net revenues of $68 from EMI Solutions, which we acquired on December 18, 2023.

Cost of revenue includes costs of materials, contract manufacturing services for the assembly, testing and shipping products, inbound freight, amortization of acquired developed technology, inventory obsolescence charges and other product -related costs. Cost of revenue also includes employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation) of employees engaged in the sourcing of products, facility costs and depreciation.

Cost of revenue was $329 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $694 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $365 or 53%. The change principally reflects a $413 decrease in cost of revenues for our connectivity products, driven by the decrease in sales volumes noted above. The decrease in cost of revenue for our connectivity products was partially offset by a $48 increase in cost of revenues from EMI Solutions.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses represent costs of our product design and development activities, including employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation), outside services, design tools, supplies, facility costs, depreciation and amortization of acquired developed technology. We expense all research and development costs as incurred.

Research and development expenses were $1,562 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $3,417 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $1,855 or 54%. The decrease principally reflects lower employee compensation and benefits and lower costs for outside services resulting from the cost reduction actions we initiated during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily include employee compensation and benefits (including stock -based compensation) of executive and administrative staff including human resources, accounting, information technology, sales and marketing, outside professional and legal fees, insurance, advertising and promotional programs, travel and entertainment, and facility costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $15,663 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $5,794 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $9,869 or 170%. The increase principally reflects an $8,901 increase in stock -based compensation expense and increased costs for outside services, which were partly offset by lower employee compensation and benefits which resulted from the cost reduction actions we initiated during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. The increase in stock -based compensation expense related to certain awards whose vesting is contingent on both the completion of the Merger and the satisfaction of a service condition. Prior to the Merger, we did not recognize any expense for these awards because completion of the Merger and vesting of the awards was not probable. Upon completion of the Merger, we concluded that the vesting of these awards was probable, and we recognized stock -based compensation expense of $10,858 for the portion of the service period that had elapsed from the date of the awards through December 31, 2023. We will recognize the remaining $41,642 cost of these awards ratably over the period through their vesting dates, which extend to December 2027.

Interest expense consists of cash and non -cash interest related to our related and unrelated party promissory notes, notes payable and convertible notes.

Interest expense was $857 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $83 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $774. The increase principally reflects costs of $729K for the three months ended December 31, 2023 representing the value of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that we issued in connection with borrowings we made during the period.

Change in Fair Value of Earn-Out Liability

In connection with the Merger, certain Legacy Mobix stockholders and certain holders of Legacy Mobix stock options will be entitled to receive an additional aggregate 3,500,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock based on the achievement of trading price targets following the Closing over the Earnout Period. We account for the earn -out shares as liability classified instruments because the events that determine the number of earn -out shares to which the earnout recipients will be entitled include events that are not solely indexed to our common stock and we remeasure the earn -out liability to its estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additional information relating to the earn -out liability can be found in Note 3 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein.

We estimated the fair value the earn -out liability as of closing of the Merger at $33,559. As of December 31, 2023, none of the conditions for the issuance of any Earn -Out Shares had been achieved and we adjusted the carrying amount of the earn -out liability to its estimated fair value of $8,795. This decrease in the liability resulted in a non -cash gain of $24,764, principally due to the decrease in price of our Class A Common Stock between the Closing and December 31, 2023.

The fair value of the earn -out liability is based on a number of factors, including changes in the market price of our Class A Common Stock. We have experienced significant fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock in the period subsequent to the Closing, and may experience significant fluctuations in the future. Such price fluctuations will increase or decrease the value of the earn -out liability, and we will recognize corresponding losses or gains in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the amounts of which may be substantial.

Change in Fair Value of PIPE Make-Whole Liability

In connection with the Merger, we agreed to issue additional shares of our Class A Common Stock to the holders of 2,254,737 shares of our Class A Common Stock in the event that the volume -weighted average price per share of our Class A Common Stock during a specified period is less than $10.00 per share. In such a case, we would be obligated to issue up to 1,052,030 additional shares of our Class A Common Stock. We account for the Make -Whole Shares as liability classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Make -Whole Shares we will be obligated to issue are not solely indexed to our common stock and we remeasure the PIPE make -whole liability to its estimated fair value at the end of each reporting period. Additional information relating to the PIPE make -whole liability can be found in Note 3 of the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this prospectus.

We estimated the fair value the PIPE make -whole liability as of closing of the Merger at $2,071. As of December 31, 2023, the PIPE make -whole liability had not been settled and we adjusted the carrying amount of the make -whole liability to its estimated fair value of $4,975. This increase in the liability resulted in a non -cash loss of $2,904, principally due to the decrease in the price of our Class A Common Stock price between the Closing and December 31, 2023.

Future fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock will increase or decrease the value of the PIPE make -whole liability, and we will recognize corresponding losses or gains in our statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), the amounts of which may be substantial.

Change in Fair Value Private Placement Warrants

In connection with the Merger, we assumed 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants originally issued by Chavant. Each warrant, as adjusted, entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Class A Common Stock at a price of $5.79 per share. The Private Placement Warrants are exercisable at any time commencing thirty days after the completion of the Merger and terminating five years after the completion of the Merger.

We concluded that the Private Placement Warrants do not meet the derivative scope exception because they contain provisions that affect the settlement amounts dependent upon the characteristics of the holder of the warrant, which is not an input into the pricing of a fixed -for-fixed option on equity shares. Therefore, the Private Placement Warrants are not considered indexed to our stock and must be classified as a liability. At the time of Closing, we estimated the aggregate fair value of the Private Placement Warrants and recognized a liability of $150. As of December 31, 2023, the Private Placement Warrants remained outstanding and we adjusted the carrying amount of the liability to its estimated fair value of $210. This increase in the fair value of the liability resulted in a non -cash loss of $60. Future fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Common Stock and other factors may increase or decrease the value of the Private Placement Warrants and we may be required to recognize similar losses or gains, the amounts of which may be substantial.

Change in Fair Value of SAFEs

We evaluated the SAFEs and concluded that the SAFEs are classified as liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The SAFEs are initially recorded at their fair value and remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. We estimated the fair value of the SAFEs immediately prior to the Merger was $1,522 and for the three months ended December 31, 2023 we recognized a $10 loss for the increase in fair value of the SAFEs. In connection with the Merger, all of the outstanding SAFEs, representing an original purchase amount of $1,000, were converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock and the $1,522 fair value of the SAFEs was credited to equity, with no further gain or loss recognized. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the SAFEs increased by $50, and we recognized a $50 loss. As of December 31 2023, no SAFEs remain outstanding.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax laws is recognized in the results of operations in the period the new laws are enacted. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amounts of our deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

For the three months ended December 31, 2023 we recognized an income tax benefit of $1,280 compared to a provision for income taxes of $31 for the three months ended December 31, 2022. In connection with our acquisition of EMI Solutions, we recognized an additional deferred tax liability of $1,386 associated with acquired intangible assets. Based on the availability of these tax attributes, we determined that we expect to realize a greater portion of our existing deferred tax assets and for the three months ended December 31, 2023 we recognized an income tax benefit of $1,280 for the resulting reduction in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. For the three months ended December 31, 2022, we did not recognize any tax benefit related to our pretax book loss of $9,359 principally because we did not expect that the deferred tax asset arising from our net operating losses would be realized in the future.

The decrease in product sales resulted from supply chain constraints, including our capital liquidity constraints in our ability to prepay our suppliers as part of obtaining our inventory, that limited our ability to meet demand from our largest customer for the year ended September 30, 2023, relative to the year ended September 30, 2022. We are continuing to implement operational measures to minimize the turnaround time in fulfilling our orders.

During the year ended September 30, 2022, we granted a customer a perpetual, non -exclusive license to use certain of our patents and developed technology totaling $0.5 million in license revenue. No similar activity was recorded for the year ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of revenue for the year ended September 30, 2023, was $1.6 million, compared to $2.9 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 43%. Cost of revenue decreased primarily due to the decrease in net revenues for the year ended September 30, 2023, relative to the year ended September 30, 2022. In addition, we incur certain fixed costs such as amortization of intangible assets and occupancy costs. These fixed costs result in additional reductions in our margin as a percentage of our net revenue, when a decline in net revenue exists.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense for the year ended September 30, 2023, was $11.0 million compared to $12.2 million for the year ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9%. The decrease was primarily driven by (i) a decrease in spending driven by the lack of working capital, (ii) lower salaries and benefits, (iii) lower outside research and development costs and lower costs of research and development tapeouts, and (iv) lower allocated occupancy and related costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in stock -based compensation expense. We expect research and development expense to increase as we grow the infrastructure needed to accomplish our expansion and introduce new products.

We registered the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants in the registration statement relating to the Merger. However, because the Public Warrants will be exercisable until their expiration date of December 21, 2028, in order to comply with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act following the consummation of an initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement registering, under the Securities Act, the issuance of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is intended to satisfy this requirement. We will use our best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If any such registration statement has not been declared effective by the 60 th business day following the closing of the Merger, holders of the Public Warrants will have the right, during the period beginning on the 61 st business day after the Closing and ending upon such registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, and during any other period when we fail to have maintained an effective registration statement covering the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, to exercise such warrants on a "cashless basis," by exchanging the Public Warrants (in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) or another exemption). Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of Class A Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a "covered security" under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule), we may, at our option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to exercise such Public Warrants on a "cashless basis" in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (or any successor rule) and (i) in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants or (ii) if we do not so elect, we agree to use our best efforts to register or qualify for sale the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants under the applicable blue sky laws of the state of residence of the exercising Public Warrant holder to the extent an exemption is not available.

If we call the Public Warrants for redemption as described above, the Board will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise its Public Warrant to do so on a "cashless basis," by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the "fair market value" (defined below), over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value. "Fair market value" means the average reported closing price of the shares of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the Public Warrants. If our Board takes advantage of this option, the notice of redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the "fair market value" in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant redemption. We believe this feature is an attractive option to us if we do not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants. If we call the Public Warrants for redemption and our Board does not take advantage of this option, the members of the Sponsor and its their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants, except that the Private Placement Warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants are were not transferable, assignable or salable until January 20, 2024, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis and are non -redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. As of the date of this registration statement, the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants (or their permitted transferees) continue to hold all of the Private Placement Warrants.

While the Company will seek to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance the necessary financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to existing stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If the Company raises funds by issuing debt securities, such debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings may impose significant restrictions on the MOBIX LABS, INC.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. Since inception, the Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations, primarily as a result of its ongoing investment in product development. For the three six months ended December March 31, 2023 2024 and 2022, 2023, the Company incurred losses from operations of $ 17,269 25,831 and $ 9,226 21,065 , respectively, and as of December March 31, 2023 2024 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $ 82,827 85,241 . The Company has historically financed its operations through the issuance and sale of equity securities and the issuance of debt. The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future and will need to raise additional debt or equity financing to fund its operations and satisfy its obligations. While the Company recently entered into a committed equity facility to raise additional capital, the amount and timing of the proceeds, if any, the Company may receive from the sale of shares of Class A Common Stock thereunder will depend on a number of factors, including the numbers of shares the Company may elect to sell, the timing of such sales, the future market price of the Company's Class A Common stock and the payment of the cash commitment fee (see Note 16 — Equity ). Management believes that there is substantial doubt concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company currently does not have adequate liquidity to meet its operating needs and satisfy its obligations for at least twelve months from beyond the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. next approximately ninety days.

The number of shares purchased by the Sponsor is subject to adjustment through the issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock in the event that the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is less than $ 10.00 over a specified period. See " Make -Whole Shares ," below.

In connection with the execution of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement, Legacy Mobix Labs issued to the Sponsor a warrant to purchase 272,454 shares of Legacy Mobix Labs Stock at an exercise price of $ 0.01 per share, exercisable upon the closing of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement (the "Sponsor Warrant"). The Sponsor Warrant was exercised at the closing of the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement and, following net settlement into 272,182 shares of Legacy Mobix Labs Stock, converted into 272,182 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Closing.

On December 20, 2023, Chavant also entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement with the Sponsor pursuant to which, as consideration for the 199,737 shares issued pursuant to the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement described above, the Sponsor agreed to forgive approximately $ 1,997 of aggregate outstanding obligations of Chavant. In addition, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit 658,631 Founder Shares and 400,000 Private Warrants that it held, in each case upon the Closing.

Non-Redemption Agreement

On December 20, 2023, Chavant and Mobix Labs entered into a non -redemption agreement with a shareholder of Chavant, pursuant to which the shareholder agreed to withdraw its redemption of 73,706 ordinary shares of Chavant ("Ordinary Shares") prior to the Merger.

The warrant was exercised at the Closing and, following net settlement into 202,489 shares of Legacy Mobix Common Stock, converted into 202,489 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company in connection with the Closing.

Amendment to Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On December 21, 2023, Chavant entered into an amendment to the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2021 between Chavant and certain advisors wherein the parties agreed to resolve their differences with respect to marketing fees contemplated by the agreement and the advisors agreed to receive, in lieu of any cash payment of fees or reimbursement of expenses, an aggregate of 280,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The number of shares is subject to adjustment through the issuance of additional shares of Class A Common Stock in the event that the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock is less than $ 10.00 over a specified period. See " Make -Whole Shares ," below.

In addition to the consideration paid at Closing, certain Legacy Mobix stockholders and certain holders of Legacy Mobix stock options (the "Earnout Recipients") will be entitled to receive an additional aggregate 3,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable as earnout shares (the "Earnout Shares") based on the achievement of trading price targets following the Closing and subject to the terms provided in the Business Combination Agreement. The Earnout Shares have a seven -year "Earnout Period," commencing on the date that is the one year anniversary of the Closing, pursuant to which up to 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed to the Earnout Recipients if the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $ 12.50 for any twenty trading days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period and an additional 1,750,000 shares of Class A Common Stock will be distributed to the Earnout Recipients if the VWAP of the Class A Common Stock exceeds $ 15.00 for any twenty trading days within a period of thirty consecutive trading days during the Earnout Period.

The Earnout Shares are accounted for as liability -classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Earnout Shares to which the Earnout Recipients will be entitled include events that are not solely indexed to the Company's common stock. At the time of Closing, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of its liability for the Earnout Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model and recorded a liability of $ 33,559 . As of March 31, 2024, none of the conditions for the issuance of any Earnout Shares had been achieved and the Company adjusted the carrying amount of the liability to its estimated fair value of $ 3,621 . As a result of the decrease in the fair value of the liability, which is primarily the result of a decrease in the Company's stock price between the Closing and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized non -cash gains of $ 5,174 and $ 29,938 , respectively, for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in "Change in fair value of earnout liability" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Sponsor PIPE Subscription Agreement and the Amendment to Business Combination Marketing Agreement described above, Chavant agreed to issue additional shares of its Class A Common Stock (the "Make -Whole Shares") to the PIPE Investors, the Sponsor and certain advisors with respect to 2,454,737 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in the event that the VWAP per share of the Class A Common Stock during the thirty -day period (the "Adjustment Period") commencing on the date that is thirty days after the date on which the PIPE resale registration statement is declared effective (the "Adjustment Period VWAP") is less than $ 10.00 per share. In such case, the PIPE Investors will be entitled to receive a number of Make -Whole Shares equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to the PIPE Investor multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is $ 10.00 minus the Adjustment Period VWAP and the denominator of which is the Adjustment Period VWAP. In the event that the Adjustment Period VWAP is less than $ 7.00 , the Adjustment Period VWAP will be deemed to be $ 7.00 .

The Make -Whole Shares are accounted for as liability -classified instruments because the events that determine the number of Make -Whole Shares issuable include events that are not solely indexed to the Company's common stock. At the time of Closing, the Company estimated the aggregate fair value of its liability for the Make -Whole Shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model and recorded a liability of $ 2,071 .
