Risks Related to Our Business, Operations and Our Industry

We have incurred losses in prior periods, may not be profitable in the future, and our plans to maintain and increase liquidity may not be successful.

Our ability to achieve profitability will depend upon our ability to generate and sustain substantially increased revenues. We may continue to incur operating losses in the future as we execute our growth strategy. The likelihood that we will generate net income in the future must be considered in light of the difficulties facing the television broadcasting and content publication industry as a whole, economic conditions and the competitive environment in which we operate. Our operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties, and we may not achieve sufficient revenues to sustain or increase profitability. In addition, we may be unable to successfully achieve or maintain our growth strategy and may need to raise additional capital to fund our future operations.

Changes in consumer behavior and evolving technologies and distribution platforms may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The ways in which consumers view content and technology and business models in the Company’s industry continue to rapidly evolve and new distribution platforms and increased competition from new entrants and emerging technologies have added to the complexity of maintaining predictable revenue streams. Technological advancements have driven changes in consumer behavior as consumers seek more control over when, where and how they consume content and have affected advertisers’ options for reaching their target audiences. Consumer preferences have evolved towards digital services and other subscription services and there has been a substantial increase in the availability of programming with reduced advertising or without advertising at all. Examples include the convergence of television telecasts and digital delivery of programming to televisions and other devices, video-on-demand platforms, user-generated content sites, and simultaneous streaming of telecast content that allows viewers to consume content on demand and in remote locations while avoiding traditional advertisements or subscription payments. In addition, consumers are increasingly using time-shifting and advertising-blocking technologies that enable them to fast-forward or circumvent advertisements. Substantial use of these technologies could impact the attractiveness of Newsmax Media’s programming to advertisers and adversely affect our advertising revenues.

Changes in consumer behavior and technology have also had an adverse impact on traditional MVPDs that deliver Newsmax Media’s broadcast and cable networks to consumers. Consumers are increasingly turning to alternative offerings, including Subscription Video on Demand (“SVOD”) and Advertising Video on Demand (“AVOD”) services and mobile and social media platforms, which has contributed to industry-wide declines in subscribers to traditional MVPD services over the last several years. These declines are expected to continue and possibly accelerate in the future. If consumers increasingly favor alternative offerings over traditional MVPD subscriptions, Newsmax Media may experience a decline in viewership and ultimately demand for the programming on its traditional linear networks, which could lead to lower affiliate fee and advertising revenues. Changing distribution models may also negatively impact Newsmax Media’s ability to negotiate affiliation agreements on favorable terms, which could have an adverse effect on Newsmax Media’s business, financial condition or results of operations, including a decline in advertising revenues if one or more MVPDs declines to renew an affiliation agreement with Newsmax Media.

If Newsmax Media fails to protect and exploit the value of its content while responding to, and developing new technology and business models to take advantage of, technological developments and consumer preferences, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Declines in advertising expenditures could cause the Company’s revenues and operating results to decline significantly in any given period or in specific markets.

Newsmax Media derives substantial revenues from the sale of advertising, and its ability to generate advertising revenues depends on a number of factors. The strength of the advertising market can fluctuate in response to the economic prospects of specific advertisers or industries, advertisers’ spending priorities and the economy in general. In addition, pandemics, natural and other disasters, acts of terrorism, and political uncertainties or hostilities can also lead to a reduction in advertising expenditures as a result of economic uncertainty, disrupted programming and services or reduced advertising spots due to pre-emptions.

Major events, such as the state, congressional and presidential elections cycles also may cause Newsmax Media’s advertising revenues to vary substantially from year to year. Political advertising expenditures are impacted by the ability and willingness of candidates and political action campaigns to raise and spend funds on advertising and the competitive nature of the elections affecting viewers in markets featuring our programming. Moreover, regulatory or other third-party intervention impacting where and when advertisements may be placed may result in a decline in our advertising revenues.

Advertising expenditures may also be affected by changes in consumer behavior and evolving technologies and platforms. There is increasing competition for the leisure time of audiences and demand for Newsmax Media’s programming as measured by ratings points is a key factor in determining advertising rates. In addition, as described above, newer technologies and platforms are increasing the number of media and entertainment choices available to audiences. Some of these technologies and platforms allow users to view programming from a remote location or on a time-delayed basis and provide users the ability to fast-forward, rewind, pause and skip programming and advertisements, which could negatively affect the attractiveness of the Company’s offerings to advertisers. The pricing and volume of advertising may also be affected by shifts in spending toward digital and mobile offerings, which can deliver targeted advertising more promptly, from traditional media, or toward newer ways of purchasing advertising, some or all of which may not be as beneficial to Newsmax Media as traditional advertising methods. Newsmax Media also generates advertising revenues through its OTT platforms.

The market for OTT advertising campaigns is relatively new and evolving and if this market develops slower or differently than we expect, it could adversely affect our advertising revenues.

A decrease in advertising expenditures, reduced demand for Newsmax Media’s programming could lead to a reduction in pricing and advertising spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Advertising revenue is largely dependent on audience measurement, which can be difficult to measure.

Because advertising sales largely depend on audience measurement, they could be negatively affected if measurement methodologies do not accurately reflect actual viewership levels. Although Nielsen’s statistical sampling method is the primary measurement methodology used for Newsmax Media’s linear television advertising sales, Newsmax Media measures and monetizes its digital platforms based on a combination of internal and third-party data. A consistent, broadly accepted measure of multiplatform audiences across the industry remains to be developed. Although we expect multiplatform measurement innovation and standards to benefit us as the video advertising market continues to evolve, we are still partially dependent on third parties to provide these solutions.

Seasonal fluctuations in advertising activity could have a material impact on our revenue, cash flow and operating results.

Historically, our advertising revenues have been subject to seasonality and cyclicality as a result of the impact of state, congressional and presidential election cycles. We have experienced relatively higher revenues and cash flow during years when congressional and presidential elections are held, with relatively lower revenues and cash flow in the years between these events, when interest in national political news is lower. Our historical revenue growth has masked the impact of seasonality, but if our growth rate declines or seasonal spending becomes more pronounced, seasonality could have a material impact on our revenue, cash flow and operating results from period to period.

Because Newsmax Media derives a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of distributors, the failure to enter into or renew affiliation and carriage agreements on favorable terms, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Newsmax Media depends on affiliation and distribution arrangements that enable it to reach a large percentage of households through MVPDs and third party-owned television stations. The inability to enter into or renew MVPD arrangements on favorable terms, or at all, or the loss of carriage on MVPDs’ basic programming tiers could reduce the distribution of Newsmax Media’s owned and operated television stations and broadcast and cable networks, which could adversely affect Newsmax Media’s revenue estimates from affiliate fees and its ability to sell national and local advertising time. The loss of favorable MVPD packaging, positioning, pricing or other marketing opportunities could also negatively impact Newsmax Media’s revenue estimates from affiliate fees. These risks are exacerbated by consolidation among traditional MVPDs, their increased vertical integration into the cable or broadcast network business and their use of alternative technologies to offer their subscribers access to local broadcast network programming, which have provided traditional MVPDs with greater negotiating leverage. In addition, if Newsmax Media and an MVPD reach an impasse in contract renewal negotiations, Newsmax Media’s networks and owned and operated television stations could become unavailable to the MVPD’s subscribers (i.e., “go dark”), which, depending on the length of time and the size of the MVPD, could have a negative impact on Newsmax Media’s revenues from affiliate fees and advertising.

Newsmax Media also depends on the maintenance of affiliation agreements and license agreements with third party-owned television stations to distribute the Newsmax TV. Consolidation among television station group owners could increase their negotiating leverage and reduce the number of available distribution partners. There can be no assurance that these affiliation and license agreements will be renewed in the future on terms favorable to Newsmax Media. The inability to enter into affiliation or licensing arrangements with third-party owned television stations on favorable terms could reduce distribution of Newsmax TV and the inability to enter into such affiliation or licensing arrangements for Newsmax TV on favorable terms could adversely affect Newsmax Media’s affiliate fee revenues and its ability to sell national advertising time.

In addition, Newsmax Media has arrangements through which it makes its content available for viewing through third-party online video platforms. If these arrangements are not renewed on favorable or commercially reasonable terms or at all, it could adversely affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.

Changes to Newsmax Media’s existing content and services could fail to attract traffic, viewers and advertisers or fail to generate revenue.

Newsmax Media may introduce significant changes to our existing content. The success of our new content depends substantially on consumer tastes and preferences that change in often unpredictable ways. If this new content fails to engage traffic and advertisers, we may fail to generate sufficient revenue or operating profit to justify our investments, and our business and operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, we have launched and expect to continue to launch strategic initiatives, which do not directly generate revenue but which we believe will enhance our attractiveness to traffic and advertisers. In the future, we may invest in new content, products, services, and initiatives to generate revenue, but there is no guarantee these approaches will be successful or that the costs associated with these efforts will not exceed the revenue generated. If Newsmax Media’s strategic initiatives do not enhance our ability to monetize our existing content or enable us to develop new approaches to monetization, we may not be able to maintain or grow our revenue or recover any associated development costs and our operating results could be adversely affected.

Newsmax Media’s businesses operate in a highly competitive industry.

Newsmax Media competes with other companies for high-quality content to reach large audiences and to generate advertising revenue. Newsmax Media also competes for distribution on MVPDs and other third-party digital platforms. Newsmax Media’s ability to attract viewers and advertisers and obtain favorable distribution depends in part on its ability to provide popular programming and adapt to new technologies and distribution platforms, which are increasing the number of content choices available to audiences. The consolidation of advertising agencies, distributors and television service providers also has increased their negotiating leverage and made competition for audiences, advertising revenue, and distribution more intense. Competition for audiences and/or advertising comes from a variety of sources, including broadcast television networks; cable television systems and networks; Internet-delivered platforms such as live streaming, SVOD and AVOD services and mobile, gaming and social media platforms; audio programming; and print and other media. Other television stations or cable networks may change their formats or programming, a new station or new network may adopt a format to compete directly with Newsmax Media’s stations or networks, or stations or networks might engage in aggressive promotional campaigns. Increased competition in the acquisition of programming may also affect the scope of rights we are able to acquire and the cost of such rights, and the future value of the rights we acquire or retain cannot be predicted with certainty. Entering into or renewing contracts for programming rights or acquiring additional rights may result in increased costs to Newsmax Media. There can be no assurance that revenue from acquired rights contracts will exceed Newsmax Media’s costs for the rights, as well as the other costs of producing and distributing the programming. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Newsmax Media will be able to compete successfully in the future against existing or potential competitors or that competition or consolidation in the marketplace will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, with respect to our digital offerings, competition for traffic and engagement with our content, products and services is intense. Newsmax Media competes against many companies to attract and engage traffic, including companies that have greater financial resources and larger user bases, and companies that offer a variety of Internet and mobile device-based content, products and services. As a result, Newsmax Media’s competitors may acquire and engage traffic at the expense of the growth or engagement of our traffic, which would negatively affect Newsmax Media’s business. Newsmax Media believes that its ability to compete effectively for traffic depends upon many factors both within and beyond its control, including, but not limited to:

Newsmax Media also faces significant competition for advertiser spending. Newsmax Media competes against online and mobile businesses and traditional media outlets, such as television, radio and print, for advertising budgets. In determining whether to buy advertising, our advertisers will consider the demand for our content, demographics of our traffic, advertising rates, results observed by advertisers, and alternative advertising options. The increasing number of digital media options available, through social networking tools and news aggregation websites, has expanded consumer choice significantly, resulting in traffic fragmentation and increased competition for advertising. In addition, some of our larger competitors have substantially broader content, product or service offerings than us and leverage their relationships based on other products or services to gain additional share of advertising budgets. Newsmax Media will need to continue to innovate and improve the monetization capabilities of its websites and mobile products in order to remain competitive. Newsmax Media believes that its ability to compete effectively for advertiser spend depends upon many factors both within and beyond its control, including, but not limited to:

The levels of our traffic and engagement with our brands and content are critical to Newsmax Media’ success.

If Newsmax Media fails to increase its traffic, or if traffic engagement or ad engagement declines, its revenue, business and operating results may be harmed. Newsmax Media’s financial performance has been and will continue to be significantly determined by its success in increasing traffic and the overall level of engagement with its content as well as increasing the number and quality of ad engagements. Newsmax Media anticipates that its traffic growth rate will slow over time as the level of our traffic increases. To the extent our traffic growth rate slows, our success will become increasingly dependent on our ability to increase levels of ad engagement on Newsmax Media. If people do not perceive our content to be useful, reliable and entertaining, Newsmax Media may not be able to attract traffic or increase the frequency of engagement on its websites and applications and the ads that it displays. There is no guarantee that Newsmax Media will not experience a similar erosion of its engagement levels as its traffic growth rate slows.

The inability to renew programming rights on sufficiently favorable terms, or at all, could cause Newsmax Media’s advertising and affiliate fee revenues to decline significantly in any given period or in specific markets.

Newsmax Media enters into long-term contracts for both the acquisition and the distribution of media programming and products, including contracts for the acquisition of programming rights and for the distribution of its programming to content distributors. Programming rights agreements, retransmission consent agreements, carriage contracts and affiliation agreements have varying durations and renewal terms that are subject to negotiation with other parties, the outcome of which is unpredictable. In addition, competition for popular programming rights that are licensed from third parties is intense, and the licenses have varying duration and renewal terms. As these contracts expire, Newsmax Media may seek renewals on favorable terms; however, third parties may outbid Newsmax Media for the rights contracts. The loss of rights or renewal on less favorable terms could impact the quality or quantity of Newsmax Media’s programs and could adversely affect Newsmax Media’s advertising and affiliate fee revenues. Upon renewal, Newsmax Media’s results could be adversely affected if escalations in programming rights costs are unmatched by increases in advertising and affiliate fee revenues. In addition, if Newsmax Media does not obtain exclusive rights to the programming it distributes, it could negatively impact Newsmax Media’s advertising and affiliate fee revenues.

Acceptance of Newsmax Media’s content by the public is difficult to predict, which could lead to fluctuations in revenues.

Revenues derived from the distribution of television content depends primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which is difficult to predict. Low public acceptance of Newsmax Media’s content will adversely affect Newsmax Media’s results of operations. The commercial success of our programming also depends upon the quality and acceptance of other competing programming, the growing number of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure activities, general economic conditions and their effects on consumer spending and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. Moreover, Newsmax Media must often invest substantial amounts in programming before they learn the extent to which the content will earn consumer acceptance. Competition for popular content is intense, and Newsmax Media may need to increase the price it pays for popular content rights. Newsmax Media’s failure to obtain or retain rights to popular content, or a decline in the ratings or popularity of Newsmax Media’s news television programming, which could be a result of the loss of talent or rights to certain programming, could adversely affect advertising revenues in the near term and, over a longer period of time, adversely affect affiliate fee revenues

Damage to our brand or reputation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s brands, particularly the Newsmax Media brand, are among its most valuable assets. Newsmax Media believes that its brand image, awareness and reputation strengthen its relationship with consumers and contribute significantly to the success of its business. Maintaining, further enhancing and extending our brands may require us to make significant investments in marketing, programming or new products, services or events; however, these investments may not be successful. Newsmax Media may introduce new programming that is not popular with its consumers and advertisers, which may negatively affect its brands. To the extent its content, in particular its live news programming, is not compelling to consumers, our ability to maintain a positive reputation may be adversely impacted. Governmental scrutiny and fines and significant negative claims or publicity regarding Newsmax Media or its operations, content, products, management, employees, practices, advertisers, business partners and culture, including individuals associated with content we create or license, may damage Newsmax Media’s reputation and brands, even if such claims are untrue. Furthermore, to the extent our marketing, customer service and public relations efforts are not effective or result in negative consumer reaction, our ability to maintain a positive reputation may likewise be adversely impacted. If Newsmax Media is not successful in maintaining or enhancing the image or awareness of its brands, or if its reputation is harmed for any reason, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s strategic investments in new businesses, products, services and technologies presents many risks, and the Company may not realize the financial and strategic goals it had contemplated, which could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company has invested in, and expects to continue investing in, new businesses, products, services and technologies that complement, enhance or expand its current businesses or otherwise offer it growth opportunities. Such strategic investments may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including insufficient revenues from an investment to offset any new liabilities assumed and expenses associated with the investment; a failure of the investment to perform as expected, meet financial projections or achieve strategic goals; unidentified issues not discovered in its due diligence that could cause the Company not to realize anticipated benefits or to incur unanticipated liabilities; the diversion of management attention from current operations; and compliance with new regulatory regimes. Because investments are inherently risky and their anticipated benefits or value may not materialize, the Company’s investments may adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face risks, such as unforeseen costs and potential liability in connection with content we acquire, produce, license and/or distribute through our service.

As a distributor of content, Newsmax Media may face potential liability for negligence, copyright and trademark infringement, or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that its acquires, produces, licenses and/or distributes. Newsmax Media may also face potential liability for content used in promoting its service, including marketing materials. Newsmax Media devotes significant resources toward the development, production, marketing and distribution of original programming. Newsmax Media believes that original and exclusive programming can help differentiate its service from other offerings, enhance its brand and otherwise attract and retain members. To the extent Newsmax Media’s programming does not meet its expectations, in particular, in terms of costs, viewing and popularity, Newsmax Media’s business, including the brand and results of operations may be adversely impacted. Further, negotiations or renewals related to the entertainment industry collective bargaining agreements have, and in the future, could negatively impact timing and costs associated with our productions. Newsmax Media contracts with third parties related to the development, production, marketing and distribution of our original programming. Newsmax Media may face potential liability or may suffer significant losses in connection with these arrangements, including, but not limited to, if such third parties violate applicable law, become insolvent or engage in fraudulent behavior. To the extent Newsmax Media creates and sells physical or digital merchandise relating to its programming, and/or license such rights to third parties, Newsmax Media could become subject to product liability, intellectual property or other claims related to such merchandise. Newsmax Media may decide to remove content from its service, not to place licensed or produced content on its service or discontinue or alter production of original content if Newsmax Media believes such content might not be well received by its viewers, is prohibited by law, or could be damaging to its brand or business.

To the extent Newsmax Media does not accurately anticipate costs or mitigate risks, including for content that it obtains but ultimately does not appear on or is removed from its service, or if Newsmax Media becomes liable for content it acquires, produces, licenses and/or distributes, its business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability or unforeseen production risks could harm the results of the Company’s operations. The Company may not be indemnified against claims or costs of these types and the Company may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims.

Newsmax Media’s future growth depends in part on the acceptance and growth of OTT advertising and OTT advertising platforms.

Many advertisers continue to devote a substantial portion of their advertising budgets to traditional advertising, such as linear TV, radio, and print, and to advertising through digital and social media platforms. While Newsmax TV generates revenues from linear TV and distribution fees paid by MVPDs, a core segment of Newsmax Media’s business is OTT advertising. As such, the future growth of Newsmax Media’s business depends in part on the growth of OTT advertising and on advertisers increasing their spend on advertising on its network. Although traditional TV advertisers have showed growing interest in OTT advertising, Newsmax Media cannot be certain that their interest will continue to increase or that they will not revert to traditional TV advertising, especially if the Company’s customers no longer stream TV or significantly reduce the amount of TV they stream. If advertisers or their agency relationships do not perceive meaningful benefits of OTT advertising, the market may develop more slowly than Newsmax Media expects, which could adversely impact its operating results and materially impact a core segment of its business.

If the rate of decline in the number of subscribers to traditional MVPD services increases or these subscribers shift to other services or bundles that do not include Newsmax TV, there may be a material negative effect on Newsmax Media’s affiliation revenues once established.

During the last few years, the number of subscribers to traditional MVPD services in the U.S. has been declining, and the rate of decline has increased in recent periods. If traditional MVPD service offerings are not attractive to consumers due to pricing, increased competition from OTT services, increased dissatisfaction with the quality of traditional MVPD services, poor economic conditions or other factors, more consumers may (i) cancel their traditional MVPD service subscriptions or choose not to subscribe to traditional MVPD services, (ii) elect to instead subscribe to OTT services, which in some cases may be offered at a lower price-point and may not include our programming networks or (iii) elect to subscribe to smaller bundles of programming which may not include our programming networks. If the rate of decline in the number of traditional MVPD service subscribers increases or if subscribers shift to OTT services or smaller bundles of programming that do not include Newsmax Media’s programming networks, such a shift may have a material negative effect on Newsmax Media’s revenues.

The Company’s success depends on its ability to improve and scale its technical and data infrastructure and respond and adapt to changes in technology and consumer behavior.

The Company’s ability to attract and retain its users is dependent upon the reliable performance and increasing capabilities of its products and its underlying technical and data infrastructure. As the Company invests in its array of products and its digital business grows in size, scope and complexity, the Company must continue to invest in maintaining, integrating, improving and scaling its technical infrastructure. The Company’s failure to do so effectively, or any significant disruption in its service, could damage the Company’s reputation, result in a potential loss or ineffective monetization of users, and adversely affect its financial results.

Newsmax Media relies on a number of partners to make its service available on their devices.

Newsmax Media currently offers viewers the ability to receive streaming content through a host of internet-connected devices, including TVs, digital video players, TV set-top boxes and mobile devices. Newsmax Media has agreements with various cable, satellite, and telecommunications operators to make its service available through the TV set-top boxes of these service providers, some of which may compete directly with Newsmax Media or have investments in competing streaming content providers. In many instances, Newsmax Media’s agreements also include provisions by which the partner bills consumers directly for the Newsmax service or otherwise offers services or products in connection with offering its service. If partners or other providers do a better job of connecting consumers with content they want to watch, for example through multi-service discovery interfaces, Newsmax Media’s service may be adversely impacted. Newsmax Media intends to continue to broaden its relationships with existing partners and to increase its capability to stream its channels to other platforms and partners over time. If Newsmax Media is not successful in maintaining existing and creating new relationships, or if the Company encounters technological, content licensing, regulatory, business or other impediments to delivering its streaming content to its members via these devices, Newsmax Media’s ability to retain viewers and grow its business could be adversely impacted.

Newsmax Media’s business could be adversely affected if, upon expiration of agreements between Newsmax Media and its partners, a number of its partners do not continue to provide access to its service or are unwilling to do so on terms acceptable to Newsmax Media, which terms may include the degree of accessibility and prominence of our service. Furthermore, devices are manufactured and sold by entities and while these entities should be responsible for the devices’ performance, the connection between these devices and our service may nonetheless result in consumer dissatisfaction toward us and such dissatisfaction could result in claims against Newsmax Media or otherwise adversely impact Newsmax Media’s business. In addition, technology changes to Newsmax Media’s streaming functionality may require that partners update their devices, or may lead Newsmax Media to stop supporting the delivery of Newsmax Media’s service on certain legacy devices. If partners do not update or otherwise modify their devices, or if we discontinue support for certain devices, Newsmax Media’s service and viewers’ use and enjoyment could be negatively impacted.

Newsmax Media’s traffic growth, engagement, and monetization depend in part upon effective operation within and compatibility with operating systems, networks, devices, web browsers and standards, including mobile operating systems, networks, and standards that it does not control.

Newsmax Media makes its content available across a variety of operating systems and through websites. Newsmax Media is dependent on the compatibility of its content with popular devices, streaming tools, desktop and mobile operating systems, connected TV systems, and web browsers that it does not control, such as Mac OS, Windows, Android, iOS, Chrome and Firefox. Any changes in such systems, devices or web browsers that degrade the functionality of its content or give preferential treatment to competitive content could adversely affect usage of its content.

A significant portion of Newsmax Media’s traffic accesses Newsmax Media’s content and services through mobile devices and, as a result, Newsmax Media’s ability to grow traffic, engagement and advertising revenue is increasingly dependent on its ability to generate revenue from content viewed and engaged with on mobile devices. A key element of its strategy is focusing on mobile devices and connected TV app, and Newsmax Media expects to continue to devote significant resources to the creation and support of developing new and innovative mobile and connected TV products, services and app. Newsmax Media is dependent on the interoperability of its content and its app with popular mobile operating systems, streaming tools, networks and standards that Newsmax Media does not control, such as the Android and iOS operating systems. Newsmax Media may not be successful in maintaining or developing relationships with key participants in the mobile and connected TV industries or in developing content that operates effectively with these technologies, systems, tools, networks, or standards. Any changes in such systems, or changes in its relationships with mobile operating system partners, handset and connected TV manufacturers, or mobile carriers, or in their terms of service or policies that reduce or eliminate our ability to distribute our content, impair access to our content by blocking access through mobile devices, make it difficult to readily discover, install, update or access Newsmax Media’s content and app on mobile devices and connected TVs, give preferential treatment to competitive, or their own, content or app, limit our ability to measure the effectiveness of branded content, or charge fees related to the distribution of our content or app could adversely affect the consumption and monetization of our content on mobile devices. Additionally, if the number of platforms for which Newsmax Media develops its product expands, it will result in an increase in its operating expenses. In the event that it is more difficult to access its content or use its app and services, particularly on mobile devices and connected TVs, or if its traffic chooses not to access its content or use its app on their mobile devices and connected TVs or chooses to use mobile products or connected TVs that do not offer access to our content or its app, or if the preferences of its traffic require Newsmax Media to increase the number of platforms on which its products are made available to its traffic, Newsmax Media’s traffic growth, engagement, ad targeting and monetization could be harmed and its business and operating results could be adversely affected.

New technologies have been developed that are able to block certain online advertisements or impair Newsmax Media’s ability to serve advertising, which could harm its operating results.

New technologies have been developed that could block or obscure the display of or targeting of Newsmax Media’s content. Additionally, some providers of consumer mobile devices and web browsers have implemented, or announced plans to implement, means to make it easier for Internet users to prevent the placement of cookies or to block other tracking technologies, which could, if widely adopted, result in the use of third-party cookies and other methods of online tracking becoming significantly less effective. An increase in the use of such new technologies could result in our inability to generate additional income from advertisements, which could harm our financial and operating results.

A financial crisis or deterioration in general economic, business or industry conditions could materially adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Concerns over global economic conditions, instability in the banking sector, stock market volatility, energy costs, geopolitical issues, inflation and U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate increases in response, the availability and cost of credit, and slowing of economic growth in the United States and fears of a recession have contributed and may continue to contribute to economic uncertainty and diminished expectations for the global economy. Factors that affect economic conditions include the rate of unemployment, the level of consumer confidence, changes in consumer spending habits, political and sociopolitical uncertainties and potential changes in trade relationships between the U.S. and other countries. The Company also faces risks associated with the impact of weak economic conditions on advertisers, affiliates, suppliers, wholesale distributors, retailers, insurers and others with which it does business. There was uncertainty during 2023 with potential economic downturns or recessions in parts of the United States and globally, which continues into 2024 with global conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars. Due to uncertainty in inflation, we may continue to see global, industry-wide supply chain disruptions and widespread shortages of labor, materials and services. We will also continue to monitor the impacts of inflation and commodity price volatility and the effects on our business, including to our customers and our partners.

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern requires that we obtain sufficient funding to finance our operations.

If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected, and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or a part of their investment. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

The loss of key personnel, including talent, could disrupt the management or operations of the Company’s business and adversely affect its revenues.

The Company’s business depends upon the continued efforts, abilities and expertise of its Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Ruddy, and other key employees and news personalities. The Company believes that the unique combination of skills and experience possessed by its executive officers would be difficult to replace and that the loss of its executive officers could have a material adverse effect on the Company, including the impairment of the Company’s ability to execute successfully its business strategy. Additionally, the Company employs or independently contracts with several news personalities with significant, loyal audiences. News personalities are sometimes significantly responsible for the ranking of programming on a television station or cable network and, therefore, a significant influence on the ability of the station or network to sell advertising. The Company’s broadcast television channel delivers programming with highly regarded on-air talent who are important to attracting and retaining audiences for the distributed news content. There can be no assurance that these news personalities will remain with us or retain their current appeal, or that the costs associated with retaining this and new talent will be favorable or acceptable to us. If the Company fails to retain or attract these personalities and talent or they lose their current audiences or advertising partners, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The Company could suffer losses due to asset impairment charges for up-front costs related to programming.

The Company performs an annual impairment assessment of its recorded up-front costs. The Company also continually evaluates whether current factors or indicators, such as the prevailing conditions in the capital markets, require the performance of an interim impairment assessment of those assets, as well as other investments and other long-lived assets. Any significant shortfall, now or in the future, in advertising revenue and/or the expected popularity of our programming could lead to a downward revision in the fair value of certain reporting units. A downward revision in the fair value of a reporting unit, programming rights, investments or long-lived assets could result in a non-cash impairment charge. Any such charge could be material to the Company’s reported net earnings.

Adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular ingredients or products or the nutraceuticals industry in general could adversely affect the financial performance of those portions of the Subsidiaries’ nutraceuticals business, Medix Health.

Purchasing decisions made by consumers of our nutraceuticals may be affected by adverse publicity or negative public perception regarding particular ingredients or products or the nutraceuticals industry in general. This negative public perception may include publicity regarding the risks, efficacy, legality or quality of particular ingredients or products in general or of other companies or our products or ingredients specifically. Negative public perception may also arise from regulatory investigations, regardless of whether those investigations involve Medix Health. Medix Health is highly dependent upon consumers’ perception of the safety and quality of products that contain Medix Health’s ingredients as well as similar products distributed by other companies. Thus, the mere publication of reports asserting that such products may be harmful could have a material adverse effect on us, regardless of whether these reports are scientifically supported. Publicity related to dietary supplements may also result in increased regulatory scrutiny of our industry. Adverse publicity may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The nutraceuticals industry is highly competitive, and Medix Health’s failure to compete effectively could adversely affect its market share, financial condition, and future growth.

The industry of nutraceutical and wellness-related supplements and products we produce is highly competitive with respect to price, brand and product recognition and new product introductions. Several of Medix Health’s competitors are larger, more established and possess greater financial, personnel, distribution and other resources. Medix Health faces competition from large nationally known manufacturers, private label brands and many smaller manufacturers of dietary and nutrition supplements; and in the mass-market distribution channel from manufacturers, major private label manufacturers and others. Private label brands at mass-market chains represent substantial sources of income for these merchants and the mass-market merchants often support their own labels at the expense of other brands. As such, the growth of Medix Health’s current and planned products within the nutraceutical industry are highly competitive and uncertain. If Medix Health cannot compete effectively, Medix Health may not be profitable.

Any interruption to Medix Health’s distribution channels for its planned products or in its warehousing facilities could adversely affect its sales and results of operations.

Any interruption to Medix Health’s distribution channels for Medix Health’s products for any reason, such as disruption of distribution channels as a result of weather, terrorism or acts of war, fire, earthquake, or other national disaster, a work stoppage or other labor-related disruption, could adversely affect Medix Health’s sales and results of operations. Additionally, if there is any unexpected interruption to our warehousing facilities, for any reason, such as loss of certifications or licenses, as a result of weather, terrorism or acts of war, fire, earthquake, or other national disaster, a work stoppage or other labor-related disruption, electrical outages, or other events, it could result in significant reductions to our sales and margins and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The purchase of many of Medix Health’s nutraceutical products are discretionary and may be negatively impacted by adverse trends in the general economy and make it more difficult for Medix Health to generate revenues.

Medix Health’s business is affected by general economic conditions since Medix Health’s current and planned products are discretionary and Medix Health depends, to a significant extent, upon a number of factors relating to discretionary consumer spending. These factors include economic conditions and perceptions of such conditions by consumers, employment rates, the level of consumers’ disposable income, business conditions, interest rates, consumer debt levels and availability of credit. Consumer spending on Medix Health’s current and planned products may be adversely affected by changes in general economic conditions. Medix Health’s operating results are impacted by the health of the North American economies. Medix Health’s business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions, such as a reduction in the availability of credit, financial market volatility or recession. Additionally, we may experience difficulties in scaling our operations to react to economic pressures in the United States.

The Subsidiaries’ nutraceuticals business, Medix Health, is subject to inherent risks relating to product liability and personal injury claims, its quality control processes may fail to detect issues in the ingredients used in its products and the Company’s product liability insurance may be insufficient to cover possible claims against us which would adversely affect Medix Health’s operating results.

Medix Health sells nutraceuticals for human consumption or contact. These products involve risks such as contamination or spoilage, tampering, defects, and other adulteration. If the consumption or use of Medix Health’s products causes product damage, injury, illness, or death, we may be subject to liability, including class action lawsuits and other civil and governmental litigation. We are also subject to product liability claims involving products containing diacetyl and related chemicals. While Medix Health is covered by product liability insurance, the costs relating to any product liability claims could be substantial, and its insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses related to any product liability claims. From time to time, we or Medix Health’s customers may withdraw or recall products in the event of contamination, product defects, or perceived quality problems. If Medix Health’s customers withdraw or recall products related to ingredients that we provide to them, as has occurred in the past, they may make claims against us.

Newsmax Inc.’s principal asset is its ownership interest in Newsmax Media and the revenue generated by such asset may not be sufficient to pay our expenses or dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay dividends on the Shares or any of our other capital stock.

Newsmax Inc. has no direct operations and no significant assets other than its ownership of Newsmax Media. We depend on Newsmax Media for payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations. If we are successful in completing this Offering and become a public reporting company, we will depend on Newsmax Media to pay our expenses as a publicly traded company and to pay any dividends with respect to our capital stock. The financial condition and operating requirements of Newsmax Media may limit our ability to obtain cash from Newsmax Media. The earnings from, or other available assets of, Newsmax Media might not be sufficient to pay dividends or make distributions or loans to enable us to pay any dividends on the Shares or satisfy our other financial obligations.

We invest our cash on hand in various financial instruments which are subject to risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

We invest our cash in a variety of financial instruments, principally government bonds, corporate debt securities, certificates of deposit and other marketable securities. All of these investments are subject to credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risk. Such risks, including the failure or severe financial distress of the financial institutions that hold our cash, cash equivalents and investments, may result in a loss of liquidity, impairment to our investments, realization of substantial future losses, or a complete loss of the investments in the long-term, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Taxing authorities may successfully assert that we should have collected or in the future should collect sales and use, value added or similar taxes, and any such assessments could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Sales and use, value added and similar tax laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect such taxes may assert that such taxes are applicable or that our presence in such jurisdictions is sufficient to require us to collect taxes, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and interest, and we may be required to collect such taxes in the future. Such tax assessments, penalties and interest or future requirements may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Further, in June 2018, the Supreme Court held in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. that states could impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers even if those sellers lack any physical presence within the states imposing the sales taxes. Under the Wayfair decision, a person requires only a “substantial nexus” with the taxing state before the state may subject the person to sales tax collection obligations therein. An increasing number of states (both before and after the publication of the Wayfair decision) have considered or adopted laws that attempt to impose sales tax collection obligations on out-of-state sellers. The Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision has removed a significant impediment to the enactment and enforcement of these laws, and it is possible that states may seek to tax out-of-state sellers on sales that occurred in prior tax years, which could create additional administrative burdens for us, put us at a competitive disadvantage if such states do not impose similar obligations on our competitors, and decrease our future sales, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Piracy, Privacy and Data Protection

The degradation, failure or misuse of the Subsidiaries’ network and information systems and other technology could cause a disruption of services or improper disclosure of personal data or other confidential information, resulting in increased costs, liabilities or loss of revenue.

Cloud services, content delivery and other networks, information systems and other technologies that the Subsidiaries or their vendors or other partners use, including technology systems used in connection with the production and distribution of our content (the “Systems”), are critical to the Subsidiaries’ business activities, and shutdowns or disruptions of, and cybersecurity attacks on, the Systems pose increasing risks. Disruptions to the Systems, such as computer hacking and phishing, theft, computer viruses, ransomware, worms or other destructive software, process breakdowns, denial of service attacks or other malicious activities, as well as power outages, natural or other disasters (including extreme weather), terrorist activities or human error, may affect the Systems and could result in disruption of our services, misappropriation, misuse, alteration, theft, loss, leakage, falsification, and accidental or premature release or improper disclosure of confidential or other information, including intellectual property and personal data (of third parties, employees and users of our streaming services and other digital properties) contained on the Systems. While the Subsidiaries continue to develop, implement and maintain security measures seeking to prevent unauthorized access to or misuse of the Systems, such efforts are costly, require ongoing monitoring and updating and may not be successful in preventing these events from occurring given that the techniques used to access, disable or degrade service or sabotage systems change frequently and become more sophisticated and targeted. In addition, the Subsidiaries’ recovery and business continuity plans may not be adequate to address any cybersecurity incidents that occur. The Subsidiaries’ high profile programming and their extensive news coverage of elections, sociopolitical events and public controversies subject the Subsidiaries to heightened cybersecurity risks. Although no cybersecurity incident has been material to the Subsidiaries’ businesses as of the date of this Offering Circular, we expect to continue to be subject to cybersecurity threats and there can be no assurance that we will not experience a material incident. Any cybersecurity incidents which result in the unauthorized access to or acquisition, use, or disclosure of personal information could result in a disruption of our operations, customer or advertiser dissatisfaction, damage to our reputation or brands, regulatory investigations, claims, lawsuits or loss of customers or revenue, and we may also be subject to liability under relevant contractual obligations and laws and regulations protecting personal data and may be required to expend significant resources to defend, remedy and/or address any incidents. The Subsidiaries may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate them for any losses that may occur, and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

Technological developments may increase the threat of content piracy and signal theft and limit the Subsidiaries’ ability to protect their intellectual property rights.

Content piracy and signal theft present a threat to the Subsidiaries’ revenues from products and services, including television shows, cable and other programming. The Subsidiaries seek to limit the threat of content piracy as well as cable and direct broadcast satellite programming signal theft; however, policing unauthorized use of the Subsidiaries’ products and services and related intellectual property is often difficult, and the steps taken by the Subsidiaries may not in every case prevent infringement. Developments in technology, including digital copying, file compression technology, growing penetration of high-bandwidth Internet connections, increased availability and speed of mobile data networks, and new devices and applications that enable unauthorized access to content, increase the threat of content piracy by making it easier to access, duplicate, widely distribute and store high-quality pirated material. In addition, developments in software or devices that circumvent encryption technology and the falling prices of devices incorporating such technologies increase the threat of unauthorized use and distribution of direct broadcast satellite programming signals and the proliferation of user-generated content sites and live and stored video streaming sites, which deliver unauthorized copies of copyrighted content, including those emanating from other countries in various languages, may adversely impact the Subsidiaries’ businesses. The proliferation of unauthorized distribution and use of the Subsidiaries’ content could have an adverse effect on the Subsidiaries’ businesses and profitability because it reduces the revenue that the Subsidiaries could potentially receive from the legitimate sale and distribution of their products and services.

The Subsidiaries take a variety of actions to combat piracy and signal theft, both individually and, in some instances, together with industry associations, but the protection of the Company’s intellectual property rights depends on the scope and duration of the Subsidiaries’ rights as defined by applicable laws in the U.S. and abroad and how those laws are construed. If those laws are interpreted in ways that limit the extent or duration of the Subsidiaries’ rights or if existing laws are changed, the Subsidiaries’ ability to generate revenue from intellectual property may decrease or the cost of obtaining and enforcing our rights may increase. A change in the laws of one jurisdiction may also have an impact on the Subsidiaries’ overall ability to protect their intellectual property rights across other jurisdictions. The Subsidiaries’ efforts to enforce their rights and protect their products, services and intellectual property may not be successful in preventing content piracy or signal theft. Further, while piracy and the proliferation of piracy-enabling technology tools continue to escalate, if any laws intended to combat piracy and protect intellectual property are repealed, weakened or not adequately enforced, or if the applicable legal systems fail to evolve and adapt to new technologies that facilitate piracy, we may be unable to effectively protect our rights and the value of our intellectual property may be negatively impacted, and our costs of enforcing our rights could increase.

The Company is subject to complex laws, regulations, rules, industry standards, and contractual obligations related to privacy and personal data protection, which are evolving, inconsistent and potentially costly.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state laws, as well as laws from other countries, relating to the collection, use, disclosure, and security of personal information. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (the “CPRA”), imposes broad obligations on businesses’ collection, use, handling, and disclosure of personal information of California residents and imposes fines for noncompliance. The potential effects of this legislation are far-reaching and may require us to modify our data processing practices and policies and incur substantial costs and expenses in compliance and potential ligation efforts.  In addition to California, other states have passed or introduced similar privacy legislation, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Delaware, Utah, and Texas. We cannot yet determine the impact that these future laws and regulations may have on our business. In addition, the FTC and state attorneys general and other regulators have made privacy and data security an enforcement focus.

The E.U. and other countries also have privacy and data security legislation, with significant penalties for violations, that apply to certain of the Company’s operations. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”) prohibits the transfer of personal data to countries outside of the European Economic Area (the “EEA”) such as the United States, which are not considered by the European Commission to provide an adequate level of data protection. Switzerland has adopted similar restrictions. Although there are legal mechanisms to allow for the transfer of personal data from the EEA and Switzerland to other countries, including the United States, they are subject to legal challenges and uncertainty about compliance with EU data protection and security laws remains. Such mechanisms may not be available or applicable with respect to the personal data processing activities necessary to research, develop, and market our products and services. For example, ongoing legal challenges in Europe to the mechanisms allowing companies to transfer personal data across national borders could result in further limitations on the ability to engage in cross-border data transfers, particularly if governments are unable or unwilling to reach new or maintain existing agreements that support such transfers. The GDPR allows EU member states to make additional laws and regulations further limiting the processing of genetic, biometric, health data, or other personal data. Failure to comply with these laws, where applicable, can result in the imposition of significant regulatory fines and penalties of up to the greater of €20 million or 4% of annual global turnover (revenue).

Further, following the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and the expiry of the transition period, from January 1, 2021, we must comply with the GDPR as implemented in the UK, which together with the amended United Kingdom Data Protection Act 2018 (together, the “UK GDPR”), retains in large part the GDPR in UK national law. The UK GDPR mirrors the fines under the GDPR, e.g., the Company could be fined up to the greater of €20 million/17.5 million pounds or 4% of global turnover under each regime. The relationship between the UK and the EU in relation to certain aspects of data protection law remains unclear, and it is unclear how UK data protection laws and regulations will develop in the medium- to longer-term following the UK government’s recent consultation on proposals for wide-ranging reform to the UK GDPR, and how data transfers to and from the UK will be regulated in the long term after expiry of the EU-UK adequacy decision in June 2025. These changes may lead to additional compliance costs and could increase the Company’s overall risk exposure.

Security breaches and other network and information systems disruptions could affect our ability to conduct our business effectively and damage our reputation.

The Company’s systems store and process confidential subscriber, employee and other sensitive personal and Company data, and therefore maintaining the Company’s network security is of critical importance. In addition, the Company relies on the technology and systems provided by third-party vendors (including cloud-based service providers) for a variety of operations.

The Company regularly faces attempts by malicious actors to breach its security and compromise its information technology systems. These attackers may use a blend of technology and social engineering techniques (including denial of service attacks, phishing attempts intended to induce our employees and users to disclose information or unwittingly provide access to systems or data, and other techniques) to disrupt service or exfiltrate data. Information security threats are constantly evolving, increasing the difficulty of detecting and successfully defending against them. The Company and the third parties with which it works with may be more vulnerable to the risk from activities of this nature as a result of operational changes such as significant increases in remote working. As of the date of this Offering Circular, no incidents have had, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

In addition, the Company’s systems, and those of the third parties with which it works with and on which it relies, may be vulnerable to interruption or damage that can result from the effects of natural disasters or climate change (such as increased storm severity and flooding); fires; power, systems or internet outages; acts of terrorism; pandemics (such as COVID-19); or other similar events.

The Company has implemented controls and taken other preventative measures designed to strengthen its systems against such incidents and attacks, including measures designed to reduce the impact of a security breach at the Company’s third-party vendors. Efforts to prevent hackers from disrupting our service or otherwise accessing our systems are expensive to develop, implement and maintain. These efforts require ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to overcome security measures become more sophisticated, and may limit the functionality of or otherwise negatively impact our products, services and systems. Although the costs of the controls and other measures we have taken to date have not had a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, the costs and effort to respond to a security breach and/or to mitigate any security vulnerabilities that may be identified in the future could be significant.

There can also be no assurance that the actions, measures and controls the Company has implemented will be effective against future attacks or be sufficient to prevent a future security breach or other disruption to its network or information systems, or those of its third-party providers, and our disaster recovery planning cannot account for all eventualities. Such an event could result in a disruption of our services, improper disclosure of personal data or confidential information, or theft or misuse of our intellectual property, all of which could harm its reputation, require us to expend resources to remedy such a security breach or defend against further attacks, divert management’s attention and resources or subject us to liability under laws that protect personal data, or otherwise adversely affect our business. While the Company maintains cyber risk insurance, the costs relating to any data breach could be substantial, and its insurance may not be sufficient to cover all losses related to any future breaches of its systems, and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

The Company is subject to payment processing risk.

The Company accepts payments through third parties using a variety of different payment methods, including credit and debit cards and direct debit. The Company relies on third parties’ systems as well as its own internal systems to process payments. Acceptance and processing of these payment methods are subject to certain certifications, rules, regulations and industry standards. To the extent that there are disruptions in its or third-party payment processing systems, errors in charges made to subscribers, material changes in the payment ecosystem such as large re-issuances of payment cards by credit card issuers, and/or changes to rules, regulations or industry standards concerning payment processing, we could experience increased costs and/or be subject to fines and/or civil liability, which could harm our reputation and adversely impact the Company’s revenue, operating expenses and results of operations.

In addition, the Company has experienced, and from time to time may continue to experience, fraudulent use of payment methods for subscriptions to its digital products. If the Company is unable to adequately control and manage this practice, it could result in inaccurately inflated subscription figures used for internal planning purposes and public reporting, which could adversely affect our ability to manage our business and harm its reputation. If the Company is unable to maintain its fraud and chargeback rate at acceptable levels, its card approval rate may be impacted and card networks could impose fines and additional card authentication requirements, or terminate its ability to process payments which would impact its business and results of operations as well as result in negative consumer perceptions of the Company’s brand. The Company has taken measures to detect and reduce fraud but these measures may not be effective and may need to be continually improved as fraudulent schemes become more sophisticated. These measures may add friction to its subscription processes, which could adversely affect our ability to add new subscribers.

The termination of the Company’s ability to accept payments on any major payment method would significantly impair its ability to operate its business, including its ability to add and retain subscribers and collect subscription and advertising revenues, and would adversely affect the results of its operations.

Defects, delays or interruptions in the cloud-based hosting services we utilize could adversely affect the Company’s reputation and operating results.

The Company currently utilizes third-party subscription-based software services as well as public cloud infrastructure services to provide solutions for many of its computing and bandwidth needs. Any interruptions to these services generally could result in interruptions in service to its subscribers and advertisers and/or the Company’s critical business functions, notwithstanding any business continuity or disaster recovery plans or agreements that may currently be in place with some of these providers. This could result in unanticipated downtime and/or harm to our operations, reputation and operating results. A transition of these services to different cloud providers would be difficult to implement and cause us to incur significant time and expense. In addition, if hosting costs increase over time and/or if the Company requires more computing or storage capacity as a result of subscriber growth or otherwise, its costs could increase disproportionately.

Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters

Changes in U.S. communications laws or other regulations, including restrictions on programming and content, may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is subject to a variety of regulations in the jurisdictions in which its businesses operate. In general, the television broadcasting and traditional MVPD industries in the U.S. are highly regulated by federal laws and regulations issued and administered by various federal agencies. Our program services and online properties are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including those relating to issues such as content regulation, user privacy and data protection, and consumer protection.  Further, the United States Congress, the FCC and state legislatures currently have under consideration, and may in the future adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters, including technological changes and measures relating to network neutrality, privacy and data security, which could, directly or indirectly, affect the operations and ownership of the Company’s media properties. Any restrictions on political or other advertising may adversely affect the Company’s advertising revenues. In addition, some policymakers maintain that traditional MVPDs should be required to offer a la carte programming to subscribers on a network by network basis or “family friendly” programming tiers. Unbundling packages of program services may increase both competition for carriage on distribution platforms and marketing expenses, which could adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company’s cable networks. The threat of regulatory action or increased scrutiny that deters certain advertisers from advertising or reaching their intended audiences could adversely affect advertising revenue. Similarly, new federal or state laws or regulations or changes in interpretations of federal or state law or in regulations imposed by the U.S. government could require changes in the operations or ownership of our business and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company could be subject to significant tax liabilities and our ability to use our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

The Company is subject to taxation in U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions. Changes in tax laws, regulations, practices or the interpretations thereof (including changes in legislation currently being considered) could affect the Company’s results of operations. Judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for taxes. In addition, transactions occur during the ordinary course of business or otherwise for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain.

Tax returns are routinely audited, tax-related litigation or settlements may occur, and certain jurisdictions may assess income tax liabilities against the Company. The final outcomes of tax audits, investigations, and any related litigation could result in materially different tax recognition from our historical tax provisions and accruals. These outcomes could conflict with private letter rulings, opinions of counsel or other interpretations provided to the Company. If these matters are adversely resolved, the Company may be required to recognize additional charges to its tax provisions and pay significant additional amounts with respect to current or prior periods or our taxes in the future could increase, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

As of December 31, 2023, we had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $112 million, which may be utilized by us subject to certain limitations. If the NOLs are not utilized, the federal NOL carryforwards will expire in various amounts beginning in 2031. In 2006, the Company had a more than 50% ownership change and, therefore, is subject to Section 382 NOL limitation of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC” or “Internal Revenue Code”). IRC Section 382 limits the Company’s utilization of its NOL to an annual amount after a more than 50% ownership change. It is anticipated that all NOLs subject to the IRC Section 382 limitations will be available to be utilized in future years.

An “ownership change” could limit our ability to utilize tax loss and credit carryforwards to of set future taxable income.

Our ability to use tax attributes to offset future taxable income may be significantly limited if we experience an “ownership change,” as discussed below. Under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“IRC” or “Internal Revenue Code”), and regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, we may carry forward or otherwise utilize the tax attributes in certain circumstances to offset any current and future taxable income and thus reduce our federal income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. To the extent that the tax attributes do not otherwise become limited, we believe that we will have available a significant amount of tax attributes in future years, and therefore the tax attributes could be a substantial asset to us. However, if we experience an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the IRC, our ability to use the tax attributes may be substantially limited, and the timing of the usage of the tax attributes could be substantially delayed, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset.

Newsmax Media and the other Subsidiaries may be, and in the past have been, subject to unfavorable litigation that could require it to pay significant amounts, lead to onerous operating procedures or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Newsmax Media is subject, from time to time, to a number of lawsuits, including claims relating to competition, intellectual property rights, alleged libel or defamation, employment and labor matters, personal injury and property damage, free speech, customer privacy, regulatory requirements, and advertising, marketing and selling practices. Greater constraints on the use of arbitration to resolve certain of these disputes could adversely affect our business. The Company also spends substantial resources complying with various regulatory and government standards, including any related investigations and litigation. The Company may incur significant expenses defending any such suit or government charge and may be required to pay amounts or otherwise change our operations in ways that could adversely impact its businesses, results of operations or financial condition.

For example, on August 10, 2021, Dominion, an election technology company, filed a complaint against Newsmax Media in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for defamation in connection with Newsmax Media’s coverage of the 2020 Presidential election, seeking up to $1.6 billion in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages.

While Newsmax Media is vigorously defending the Dominion suit, an unfavorable outcome in the matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, on November 3, 2021, Smartmatic, another election technology company, filed a complaint against Newsmax Media in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for defamation, seeking compensatory, consequential and punitive damages to be determined at trial. Newsmax Media reached a settlement agreement with Smartmatic on September 26, 2024, pursuant to which all claims will be released by Smartmatic for consideration, including a cash amount of $40 million payable over time and the issuance of a five year cash exercise warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $5,000 per share. As of the date hereof, the Company has made payments under the settlement agreement totaling $20 million. Payment of the remaining balance will be made in installments of $10 million on or prior to each of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The payments will be made from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and no proceeds of this Offering will be used to make the remaining payments.

Management believes the settlement with Smartmatic will, subject to the payment of all consideration in a timely manner, eliminate future legal expenses the Company would have expected to bear related to this suit, which could have included costly appellate legal actions and other matters.

Additionally, in 2023, a counterparty to a commercial agreement with Newsmax asserted various legal contractual and non-contractual claims against Newsmax, including breach of contract claims. In March of 2023, Newsmax and the counterparty entered into a settlement agreement to resolve these claims prior to the commencement of any litigation against Newsmax. In addition, the parties also entered into an amendment to their commercial agreement. The Company has a total of approximately $34.6 million remaining to be paid to the counterparty pursuant to the terms of the agreement, with annual payments that will range from approximately $6.7 million to $7.3 million through 2028, with the balance, if any, payable through the end of the term. These annual payments represent not more than approximately 5.0% of total revenues for full years 2023 and 2024, and are expected to represent a smaller percentage of total revenues in future years. The payments will be made from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and no proceeds of this Offering will be used to make the remaining payments.

Failures to comply with or changes in U.S. or foreign laws or regulations may have an adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is subject to a variety of laws and regulations, both in the U.S. and/or in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Company, the Company and/or its partners operate, including laws and regulations relating to intellectual property, content regulation, user privacy, data protection, anticorruption, repatriation of profits, tax regimes, quotas, tariffs or other trade barriers, currency exchange controls, operating license and permit requirements, restrictions on foreign ownership or investment, anticompetitive conduct, export and market access restrictions, and exceptions to and limitations on copyright and censorship, among others.

The television broadcasting and cable programming industries in the U.S. are highly regulated by U.S. federal laws and regulations issued and administered by various federal agencies.

The Company’s businesses could be adversely affected by new laws and regulations, changes in existing laws, changes in interpretations of existing laws by courts and regulators and the threat that additional laws or regulations may be forthcoming, as well as our ability to enforce our legal rights. The Company could be required to change or limit certain of business practices, which could impact its ability to generate revenues. The Company could also incur substantial costs to comply with new and existing laws and regulations, or substantial fines and penalties or other liabilities if the Company fails to comply with such laws and regulations.

Risks Related to Intellectual Property

The Company’s business may suffer if the Company cannot protect its intellectual property.

The Company’s business depends on its intellectual property, including its valuable brand, content, services and internally developed technology. The Company believes the protection and monetization of its proprietary trademarks and other intellectual property are critical to its continued success and its competitive position. Unauthorized parties have unlawfully misappropriated the Company’s brand, content, services, technology and other intellectual property or may attempt to do so, and the measures the Company has taken to protect and enforce its proprietary rights may not be sufficient to fully address or prevent all third-party infringement.

The Internet, combined with advancements in technology, has made unauthorized copying and wide dissemination of unlicensed content easier, including by anonymous foreign actors. At the same time, enforcement of our intellectual property rights has become more challenging. As the Company’s business and the presence and impact of bad actors become more global in scope, the Company may not be able to protect its proprietary rights in a cost-effective manner in other jurisdictions. In addition, intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which the Company’s products and services are distributed or made available through the Internet.

If the Company is unable to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights, the Company may not succeed in realizing the full value of its assets, and its business, brand and profitability may suffer. In addition, if the Company is required to resort to litigation in the United States or elsewhere to enforce its intellectual property rights, such litigation may be costly and time consuming.

The Company has been, and may be in the future, subject to claims of intellectual property infringement that could adversely affect its business.

The Company periodically receives claims from third parties alleging violations of their intellectual property rights. To the extent the Company gains greater public recognition and scale worldwide, and publishes more content on its own platforms and third-party platforms (like social media), the likelihood of receiving claims of infringement may rise. Defending against intellectual property infringement claims against us can be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and a diversion of management attention. In addition, litigation regarding intellectual property rights is inherently uncertain due to the complex issues involved, and the Company may not be successful in defending itself in such matters.

If successful, third-party intellectual property infringement claims may require the Company to enter into royalty or licensing agreements on unfavorable terms, use more costly alternative technology, alter how it presents its content to its users, alter certain of its operations and/or otherwise incur substantial monetary liability. The occurrence of any of these events as a result of these claims could result in substantially increased costs or otherwise adversely affect our business. For claims against us, insurance may be insufficient or unavailable, and for claims related to actions of third parties, either indemnification or remedies against those parties may be insufficient or unavailable.

The Company’s business involves risks of liability claims for content of material, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a distributor of media content, we may face potential liability for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed. These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against producers and distributors of media content. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Risks Related to our Securities and the Offering

Investing in the Shares is a highly speculative investment and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

A purchase of the Shares offered in this Offering is significantly speculative and involves significant risks. The Shares offered in this Offering should not be purchased by any person who cannot afford the loss of his, her or its entire purchase price. The business objectives of Newsmax Inc. are also speculative, and Newsmax Inc. may be unable to satisfy its objectives. As such, each prospective investor in the Shares should read these risk factors and all of the transaction documents carefully and consult with their attorney, business advisor and/or investment advisor before investing in the Shares.

No active trading market for the Shares currently exists, and an active trading market may not develop.

Prior to this Offering, there has not been an active trading market for our Shares. If an active trading market for our Shares does not develop following this Offering, you may not be able to sell your Shares quickly or at the market price. Our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling the Shares and our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using Shares as consideration may also be impaired. The initial public offering price of our Shares will be determined by negotiations between us and the Selling Agent and may not be indicative of the market prices of our Shares that will prevail in the trading market.

Future sales and issuances of our securities could result in dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders.

In order to expand its business, Newsmax Inc. may raise funds again in the future, either by offerings of securities or through borrowing from banks or other sources. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. In addition, debt financing, if available, could include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take certain actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends and may require us to grant security interests in our assets. 

There is no guarantee you will have a positive return on your investment.

There can be no assurance that investors in this Offering will realize a return on investment or that investors will not lose their entire investment. For this reason, each investor should read this Offering Circular and all exhibits carefully and should consult with their own attorney and business/tax advisor prior to making any investment decision.

Newsmax Inc. does not intend to pay cash dividends on its capital stock in the foreseeable future.

Except for dividends paid to holders of shares of the Company’s preferred stock upon the conversion of such preferred stock upon the completion of this Offering, Newsmax Inc. has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital stock. We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our securities in the foreseeable future.

Newsmax Inc. may issue shares of preferred stock that would have a liquidation preference to its common stock. 

Newsmax Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock. The board of directors may issue shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval, and such shares may be issued with such rights, preferences, and limitations as may be determined by the board of directors. The rights of the holders of common stock, including holders of our shares that are currently outstanding or will be issued in this Offering, will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any holders of preferred stock that may be issued in the future. We presently have no commitments or contracts to issue any shares of preferred stock; However, authorized and unissued preferred stock could delay, discourage, hinder or preclude an unsolicited acquisition of Newsmax Inc., could make it less likely that stockholders receive a premium for their shares as a result of any such attempt, and could adversely affect the market prices of, and the voting and other rights, of the holders of outstanding shares of the common stock.

Following the closing of this Offering, a majority of Newsmax Inc.’s voting stock will be owned by a small number of owners.

Prior to the Offering, Newsmax Inc.’s officers, directors, and stockholders who own 10% or more of, Newsmax Inc.’s securities collectively own directly or indirectly a majority of the voting stock of, Newsmax Inc. Following the Closing of this Offering, the Chief Executive Officer of, Newsmax Inc., Christopher Ruddy, will hold 39,239,297 shares of Class A Common Stock. Each share of Class A Common Stock gives the holder ten votes per share. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Accordingly, Mr. Ruddy will hold approximately 81.4% of the voting stock of the Company. As a result, Newsmax Inc.’s officers, directors, and stockholders who own 10% or more of Newsmax Inc.’s securities and collectively own directly or indirectly a majority of the voting stock of Newsmax Inc. prior to this Offering will continue to collectively own directly or indirectly a majority of the voting stock of Newsmax Inc. after this Offering. Subject to fiduciary duties owed to Newsmax Inc.’s other owners or investors under Florida law, in the case of Newsmax Inc.’s officers and directors, these stockholders will continue to be able to exercise significant influence over matters requiring owner approval such as mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of Newsmax Inc.’s assets, including the election of directors or managers and approval of significant company transactions, and will have significant control over Newsmax Inc.’s management and policies after this Offering. These control persons may have interests that are different from yours. For example, they may support proposals and actions with which you may disagree. The continued concentration of ownership of Newsmax Inc.’s voting securities after this Offering could delay or prevent a change in control of Newsmax Inc. or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of Newsmax Inc., which in turn could reduce the price potential investors are willing to pay for Newsmax Inc.

We cannot predict the effect our dual-class structure may have on the price of our securities.

We cannot predict whether our dual-class structure will result in a lower or more volatile market price of our Shares, adverse publicity or other adverse consequences. For example, certain index providers have announced and implemented restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indices. In July 2017, FTSE Russell announced that it would require new constituents of its indices to have greater than 5% of the company’s voting rights (aggregated across all of its equity securities, including those that are not listed or trading) in the hands of public stockholders. Pursuant to the FTSE Russell, this 5% minimum voting rights requirement only applies to companies assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE Equity Country Classification scheme, and, based upon the FTSE Equity Country Classification Interim Announcement published on March 30, 2023, the United States is assigned a Developed market nationality within the FTSE. In addition, in July 2017, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it would no longer admit companies with multiple-class share structures to certain of its indices; however, in October 2022, the S&P Dow Jones announced that it was conducting a consultation with market participants on the multiple share class eligibility methodology requirement via a survey that closed on December 15, 2022. Subsequently, the S&P Dow Jones Indices announced that, effective as of April 17, 2023, companies with multiple share class structures will be considered eligible for the S&P Composite 1500 and its component indices, including the S&P 500, the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600, if they meet all other eligibility criteria. Also in 2017, MSCI, a leading stock index provider, opened public consultations on its treatment of no-vote and multi-class structures and temporarily barred new multi-class listings from certain of its indices; however, in October 2018, MSCI announced its decision to include equity securities “with unequal voting structures” in its indices. Additionally, MSCI announced that the securities of companies exhibiting unequal voting structures will be eligible for addition to the MSCI ACWI IMI and other relevant indexes effective March 1, 2019. Currently, MSCI offers the MSCI World Voting Rights-Adjusted Index. This index specifically includes voting rights in the weighting criteria and construction methodology and aims to better align constituent weights with economic rights and voting power, while continuing to represent the performance of a broad opportunity set. The dual-class structure of our Common Stock may make us ineligible for inclusion in certain indices and, as a result, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and other investment vehicles that attempt to passively track those indices would not invest in the Shares. In addition, it is unclear what effect, if any, such policies will have on the valuations of publicly-traded companies excluded from such indices, but it is possible that they may adversely affect valuations, as compared to similar companies that are included. Due to the dual-class structure of our Common Stock, we may be excluded from certain indices and we cannot assure you that other stock indices (including NYSE) will not take similar actions. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indices, exclusion from certain stock indices may preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our Shares less attractive to other investors. As a result, the market price of the Shares may be adversely affected.

Newsmax Inc. expects to be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE and, as a result, expects to qualify for and intends to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

Upon completion of this Offering, Newsmax Inc. expects that its founder, together with his affiliates, will hold a majority of the voting power of Newsmax Inc.’s Common Stock. As a result, Newsmax Inc. expects to be a controlled company within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

As a result, holders of Newsmax Inc.’s Common Stock may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the rules of the NYSE.

NYSE may delist our Class B Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our Class B Common Stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

We have applied to have our Class B Common Stock listed on NYSE on or promptly after the date of this Offering Circular. Although after giving effect to this Offering we expect to meet the minimum initial listing standards set forth in the NYSE listing standards, we cannot assure you that the Class B Common Stock will be, or will continue to be, listed on NYSE in the future. In order to continue listing the Class B Common Stock on NYSE, we must maintain certain financial, distribution and stock price levels and must maintain a minimum number of holders of Class B Common Stock.

If NYSE delists the Class B Common Stock and we are not able to list the Class B Common Stock on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:

The market price of our Class B Common Stock may be volatile and fluctuate substantially, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our Class B Common Stock in this offering.

The market price of the Class B Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our Shares will trade. In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. If there is extreme market volatility and trading patterns in our Shares, it may create several risks for investors, including the following:

Broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of the Shares, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, the Shares may be more thinly traded than securities of larger, more established media companies and, as a result of this lack of liquidity, sales of relatively small quantities of shares of the Shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of the Shares. The market price of the Shares may decline below the initial public offering price, and you may lose some or all of your investment.

Newsmax Inc. will have broad discretion in the use of proceeds from this Offering and may not use them effectively.

Newsmax Inc.’s management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this Offering, including for any of the currently intended purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine Newsmax Inc.’s use of the net proceeds from this Offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Newsmax Inc. may not apply its cash from this Offering in ways that ultimately increases the value of any investment in Newsmax Inc.’s securities or enhances stockholder value. Newsmax Inc. may choose to use the proceeds in a manner that you do not agree with, and you will have no recourse. The failure by Newsmax Inc.’s management to apply the net proceeds from this Offering effectively could harm the Company’s business. Pending their use, Newsmax Inc. may invest the net proceeds from this Offering in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments and government securities. These investments may not yield a favorable return to Newsmax Inc.’s stockholders. If Newsmax Inc. does not invest or apply its cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, Newsmax Inc. may fail to achieve expected financial results, which may, among other things, negatively impact its ability to raise capital (including through an initial public offering of its securities), invest in or expand its business, acquire products and services, or continue its operations.

We have previously granted anti-dilution rights in the form of preemptive rights to certain holders of our capital stock.

We have previously granted anti-dilution rights in the form of preemptive rights to certain holders of our capital stock. As such, at any time we intend to issue additional shares of our stock that would dilute such holders, they would first have the right to acquire additional shares to maintain their pro rata ownership in Newsmax Inc. As a result, upon future issuances of securities by Newsmax Inc., investors in this Offering may experience more substantial dilution than other stockholders.

As our initial public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will pay more for your Shares than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your Shares. We expect the dilution as a result of the offering to be $8.09 per share. Share to new investors purchasing our Shares in this Offering. In addition, you will experience further dilution to the extent that we issue Shares upon the exercise of any warrants or exercise of stock options under any stock incentive plans. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our Shares will be diluted upon completion of this Offering.

We intend to register additional shares of our Class B Common Stock, which may result in diminution to the value of the Shares offered hereby.

Promptly upon closing of this Offering, we intend to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register for resale additional shares of our Class B Common Stock that are issued upon conversion of our outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock automatically converts into shares of Class B Common Stock upon the closing of an initial public offering, which this Offering qualifies as. The market price of shares of our Class B Common Stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Class B Common Stock, particularly sales by directors, executive officers and significant stockholders. Further, the registration of the sale of shares of our Class B Common Stock may create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” whereby a large number of shares of our Class B Common Stock become available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares of our Class B Common Stock intend to sell their shares. The existence of an overhang and the anticipation of such sales, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could cause the market price of our Class B Common stock to fall. It could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale or equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

Future sales of our Class B Common Stock may cause the market price of our Class B Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

Except as described below, our officers, directors and certain of our stockholders have agreed, or will agree, with Digital Offering, subject to certain exceptions, that, without the prior written consent of Digital Offering, they will not, directly or indirectly, during the period from six months following the closing of this Offering, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by them or with respect to which they have or hereafter acquire the power of disposition; or enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. At any time after the expiration of the lock-up period, the holders of such shares of our Class B Common stock will be able to sell some or all of such shares pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 that we intend to file promptly upon the closing of this Offering. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class B Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Class B Common Stock and may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares of Class B Common Stock at a time and price that investors deem appropriate.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws will have anti-takeover effects that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control, which may cause our stock price to decline.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws, and Florida law could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if closing such a transaction would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation authorizes our board of directors to create and issue rights entitling our shareholders to purchase shares of our stock or other securities. The ability of our board to establish the rights and issue substantial amounts of preferred stock without the need for shareholder approval may delay or deter a change in control of us.

Provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws, and Florida law could also have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws, and Florida law, as applicable, among other things:

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will designate the courts located in Palm Beach County as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputed with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any shareholder to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”) or the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or the amended and restated bylaws of the Company (the “Amended and Restated Bylaws”) or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and, accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation described in the preceding sentences. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Certain recent initial public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of Newsmax Inc. The shares may experience rapid and substantial price volatility, and price decline, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess what we believe to be the value of the Shares.

In addition to the general volatility risks discussed in this Offering Circular, the Shares may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility and/or a decline in market price. We may experience extreme stock price volatility unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of the Shares. Recently, there have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with a number of recent initial public offerings, especially among companies with relatively small public floats. As we anticipate having a relatively small public float, the Shares may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, rapid declines in the price, lower trading volume, large spreads in bid and asked prices, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. The aspects of the trading in the Shares may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance, financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of the Shares. Because of the low public float and the absence of any significant trading volume, the reported prices may not reflect the price at which an investor would be able to sell Shares if it wants to sell any Shares or buy Shares if it wishes to buy Shares.

If the trading volumes of the Shares is low, persons buying or selling in relatively small quantities may easily influence the price of the Shares. A low volume of trades could also cause the price of the Shares to fluctuate greatly, with large percentage changes in price occurring in any trading day session. Broad market fluctuations and general economic and political conditions may also adversely affect the market price of the Shares. The volatility also could adversely affect the ability of Newsmax Inc. to issue additional shares of Common Stock or any other securities and the ability to obtain stock market based financing in the future.

This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the $75,000,000 maximum is not sold. 

If you invest in our Class B Common Stock and less than all of the offered shares of our Class B Common Stock are sold, the risk of losing your entire investment will be increased. We are offering our Class B Common Stock on a “best efforts” basis and we can give no assurance that all of the offered Class B Common Stock will be sold. If less than $75,000,000 of Shares are sold, we may be unable to fund all the intended uses described in this Offering Circular from the net proceeds anticipated from this Offering without obtaining funds from alternative sources or using working capital that we generate. Alternative sources of funding may not be available to us at what we consider to be a reasonable cost, and the working capital generated by us may not be sufficient to fund any uses not financed by Offering net proceeds.  No assurance can be given to you that any funds will be invested in this Offering other than your own.

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for the Shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time.  Our board of directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion without the input of an investment bank or other third party.  The fixed offering price for the Shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our Company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals.  Therefore, the fixed offering price established for the Shares may not be supported by the current value of our Company or our assets at any particular time.

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

Investors in this Offering may have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the Shares you buy. The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this Offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018, entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

Delay in transfer of Shares from the transfer agent to your broker; Shares will not be able to be traded until received and cleared by your broker

If you purchased your Shares online, your Shares will be held at the transfer agent in book entry. After the Class B Common Stock is listed on the NYSE, you will be able to deposit any shares you purchased with a broker. Until you deposit your Shares in a brokerage account, the transfer agent will maintain the record of your ownership. Once you deposit your Shares with a broker, the broker will maintain that record. The transfer request must originate from your broker. The timing of the transfer varies from broker to broker and the Shares may take several days to transfer. During such time the trading shares may experience rapid and substantial price volatility, and price decline and you will not be able to trade until your broker receives and clears your shares for trading.

General Risk Factors

The absence of security analytical reports or the existence of negative security analytical reports may have an adverse effect on the public market price and volume of Shares.

Any trading market for the Shares may be influenced by whether or not any analytical research reports are published about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of the Shares could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of the Shares could be negatively affected.

If we are successful in listing our securities on NYSE, we will incur increased costs as a result of being a public reporting company, and our board of directors will be required to devote substantial time to oversight of new compliance requirements and corporate governance practices.

If we are able to successfully list our securities on NYSE, we would become a public reporting company. As a public company listed in the United States, we would incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we do not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the listing requirements of NYSE, and other applicable securities rules and regulations impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure controls and procedures and corporate governance practices. Our board of directors, management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, we expect that these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which in turn could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors.

These rules and regulations may be subject to varying interpretations due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

Even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, we may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) which would allow us to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements that we will be required to file with the SEC. We cannot predict if investors will find the Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Shares, and our share price may be lower or more volatile.

Upon becoming a public company, we may qualify as a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Exchange Act and an emerging growth company, and may take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies and emerging growth companies, as applicable. If we take advantage of such exemptions, our securities may be less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

If we qualify as a smaller reporting company, among other things, we would not be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may avail ourself to scaled executive compensation disclosures and could provide two years of audited financial statements, instead of three years in our filings with the SEC. Furthermore, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the 1933 Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We cannot predict if investors will find the Shares less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the Shares and our stock price may be more volatile. We may take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company and/or a smaller reporting company.

We currently have limited accounting personnel and IT personnel focused on cybersecurity with the background in public company accounting, reporting and compliance. We will have to add personnel and devote personnel and financial resources to meet our reporting and disclosure obligations as a publicly listed company.

We have been a private company with limited operating scale. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we do not have the appropriate accounting personnel to adequately execute our accounting processes and other supervisory resources with which to address our internal control over financial reporting and IT personnel to ensure compliance with cybersecurity disclosure requirements imposed by the SEC. If we are successful in completing this Offering and become a public reporting company, we may need to hire additional personnel and put in place protocols necessary to implement appropriate accounting policies, processes and controls, and privacy and cybersecurity policies, to address the anticipated change in the scale of our operations. However, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we plan to take in the future, will be sufficient to prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses in our controls.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that public reporting companies maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. As such, public reporting companies are required to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. This assessment will include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by management in a company’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that results in more than a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act also generally requires an attestation from an issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting. However, for as long as Newsmax Inc. remains an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act, it may take advantage of the exemption permitting us not to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement.

In connection with the preparation of our financial statements, we have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses are as follows:

We are committed to remediating the material weaknesses described above and continuing remediation efforts during 2024. We intend to initiate and implement several remediation measures including, but not limited to, hiring additional accounting staff with the requisite background and knowledge, engaging third parties to assist in complying with the accounting and financial reporting requirements related to significant and complex transactions as well as adding personnel to assist Newsmax Inc. with formalizing its business process, accounting policies and internal control documentation, strengthening supervisory reviews by our management team, and evaluating the effectiveness of our internal controls. While our efforts are ongoing, we plan to take additional steps to remediate the material weaknesses, improve our financial reporting systems, and implement new policies, procedures, and controls. However, we cannot be certain that our efforts will successfully remediate our material weaknesses.

Subsequent to filing the initial Form 1-A, an error was identified to the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The error was in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share, where inception-to-date cumulative dividends on preferred stock were incorrectly applied to the numerator instead of current period cumulative dividends on preferred stock for the years in question. This miscalculation overstated the loss per share and required a restatement to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The error resulted from a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting. As a result, we face additional risks and uncertainties, including potential litigation and a potential loss of investor confidence. The Company is committed to implementing enhanced controls to address this deficiency and prevent similar issues in the future.

Newsmax Inc.’s future compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may require that it incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. Newsmax Inc. may not be able to complete it evaluation, testing and any required remediation in a timely fashion. During the evaluation and testing process, if Newsmax Inc. identifies one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, it may be unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit Newsmax Inc.’s ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If Newsmax Inc. is unable to conclude that its internal control over financial reporting is effective after it becomes a public reporting company, it could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of its financial reports, the value of the Shares could decline, and it could be subject to sanctions or investigations by regulatory authorities. Failure to remediate any material weakness in Newsmax Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict Newsmax Inc.’s future access to the capital markets.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance, including: our financial performance and projections; our growth in revenue and earnings; and our business prospects and opportunities.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming a maximum raise of $75,000,000, we estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering will be approximately $68,926,250, after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated Offering expenses. The following table sets forth a breakdown of our estimated use of our gross proceeds as we currently expect to use them, assuming the sale of, respectively, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the Shares.

We believe that the expected net proceeds from this Offering and our existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, although we cannot assure you that this will occur.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering for our own general and corporate expenses. We may, in our sole discretion, make capital contributions to Newsmax Media from time to time to fund working capital needs and business initiatives. Such working capital needs may include costs related to talent and programming, marketing, distribution and digital expansion. In the ordinary course of business, Newsmax Media expects to evaluate the acquisition of, investment in or in-license of complementary products, technologies or businesses, and could use a portion of the net proceeds from this Offering for such activities; however, Newsmax Media currently does not have any agreements, arrangements, or commitments with respect to any potential acquisition, investment or license.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and the Selling Agent are offering the Shares on a “best efforts” basis and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares in this Offering. As such, we and the Selling Agent may sell less than the maximum number of Shares offered hereby, and Newsmax Inc. may receive net proceeds of less than $68,926,250. In the event that Newsmax Inc. receives less than $68,926,250  in net proceeds, it will reduce its contributions to Newsmax Media, which in turn will reduce its expenditures in the above-referenced areas, which may cause Newsmax Media’s business to grow more slowly, or not at all.

The expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. Predicting the cost to be used in Newsmax Inc. and the Subsidiaries’ businesses can be difficult and the amounts and timing of their actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities and the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds for other purposes. As a result, Newsmax Inc.’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

Pending Newsmax Inc.’s use of the net proceeds from this Offering, Newsmax Inc. intends to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, and government securities.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The initial public offering price has been determined by negotiation between us and Digital Offering. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

We intend to price the Offering prior to its qualification pursuant to Rule 253(b).

DIVIDEND POLICY

To date, we have not paid any dividends on our Existing Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. The declaration and payment of dividends on the Common stock is at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual restrictions or such other factors as our board of directors may deem relevant. We currently expect to use all available funds to finance the future development and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of June 30, 2024 on:

You should read this capitalization table together with “Use of Proceeds,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

The number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Conversion, the Recapitalization and the Forward Stock Split and this Offering excludes:

DILUTION

If you invest in our Class B Common Stock, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share of our Class B Common Stock and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this Offering.

In order to more meaningfully present the dilutive impact to the investors in this Offering, we have calculated the pro forma net tangible book value and pro forma net tangible book value per share giving effect to the Private Placement, the Conversion, the Recapitalization and the Forward Stock Split. As of June 30, 2024, our pro forma net tangible book value was $100,981,176, and our pro forma net tangible book value per share was $1.24. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets, which are total assets less our right of use assets and other noncurrent assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by investors in this Offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after the Offering. The following table illustrates the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors as of June 30, 2024, assuming the issuance of 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Private Placement, at a purchase price of $5,000 per share, as adjusted to give effect to the sale of shares of our Class B Common Stock in this Offering, representing the maximum offering amount, or $75,000,000, at a public offering price of $10.00 per share, and our receipt of the estimated $68,926,250 in net proceeds from this Offering, after deducting underwriting commissions.

BUSINESS

Corporate History

Newsmax Inc. is a holding company that owns 100% of the equity interests of its operating company Newsmax Media. Newsmax Media and the other Subsidiaries operate the businesses described in this Offering Circular.

Newsmax Media was incorporated as Sequoia Digital Corporation in the State of Nevada in 1998. In 1999, Newsmax Media changed its name from Sequoia Digital Corporation to Newsmax.com, Inc. In 2001, Newsmax Media changed its name from Newsmax.com, Inc. to Newsmax Media, Inc. In 2006, Newsmax Media became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NMX Holdings, LLC. In 2014, Newsmax Media changed its state of domicile from Nevada to Delaware and consummated a corporate reorganization in which the members of NMX Holdings, LLC exchanged their membership interests in NMX Holdings, LLC for capital stock of Newsmax Media.

In 2024, Newsmax Media consummated a corporate reorganization. Newsmax Inc. was formed as a new holding company that owns all of the outstanding shares of the operating company, Newsmax Media. The stockholders of Newsmax Media exchanged their shares of capital stock in Newsmax Media for the same class and number of shares in Newsmax Inc. Subsequently, Newsmax Media changed its state of domicile from Delaware to Florida. As a result of this reorganization, Newsmax Inc. became the direct holding company and the sole shareholder of Newsmax Media. Newsmax Media’s ownership of its subsidiaries was not affected or changed as a result of this reorganization.

Private Placement

In June 2024, the Company launched an offering of its Series B Preferred Stock in a Private Placement. The initial offering was for up to 30,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at $5,000 per share for a base offering amount of $150,000,000, with the option to expand up to 45,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for an offering amount of $225,000,000. The Company completed the Private Placement on February 27, 2025, having sold 45,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock in the Private Placement, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $206,660,285. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued a three-year warrant to Digital Offering, LLC, as placement agent for the Private Placement, exercisable for 900 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an exercise price per share of $5,000.

Overview of the Business

Newsmax Media is a television broadcaster and multi-platform content publisher that produces original news and editorial content for consumers through various media outlets, including through its TV news channels, digital and print publications, its popular website Newsmax.com and affiliated sites, its syndicated radio show and podcasts and other platforms in order to sell advertising to third-party marketers as well as offering paid subscriptions to more than a dozen digital and print products sold by Newsmax Media. Newsmax Media content is carried by all major linear cable and satellite pay TV platforms, MVPDs for the Newsmax channel, and most OTT streaming platforms for its free, ad-supported television (“FAST”) channel Newsmax2, making Newsmax Media content available to over 100 million homes in the U.S. In addition, international companies have licensed Newsmax Media’s channels and brands for regional, national and local television and digital media purposes. Certain licensing agreements currently in place have allowed Newsmax Media’s partners to provide cable television and digital news under the Newsmax Media brand to viewers in several European countries, including Republic of Serbia, Republic of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Albania.

Newsmax Media operates several business lines through its subsidiaries and divisions, creating a synergistic effect on audience growth, revenues and customer acquisition. These business lines are grouped into 2 separate reportable segments which consist of Broadcasting and Digital:

Newsmax Media’s Operating Segments

Newsmax Media’s business operations are conducted through two main operating segments, Broadcasting and Digital. In 2023 Broadcasting represented 68.6% of total revenues and Digital represented 31.4% of total revenues. Between the two main operating segments, total revenue for Newsmax Media has grown from $41.8 million in 2019 to $135.3 million in 2023.

Broadcasting

The broadcasting segment of Newsmax Media’s business produces and licenses news, business news and lifestyle content for distribution through both MVPDs and free OTT streaming platforms. Newsmax Media creates, broadcasts and distributes content using a hybrid distribution strategy that also utilizes linear cable for pay TV services. Newsmax Media’s linear channel, Newsmax, is offered to cable television systems, direct broadcast satellite operators, telecommunication companies and internet television providers, primarily in the United States.

Newsmax Media also offers Newsmax2, a 24/7 FAST channel offering news and opinion shows across platforms, including Samsung, Vizio, LG, Xumo, Roku, Pluto, and others. Newsmax Media generates revenues from license fees paid by MVPDs for its linear Newsmax channel on a per subscriber basis and also derives revenues from advertising sales made for both its linear channel and for its FAST channel. According to Kagan, Fox News, CNN, CNBC, Fox Business and MSNBC have average monthly affiliate fees per subscriber equal to $2.52, $1.30, $0.64, $0.39 and $0.38, respectively. Given that Newsmax Media has audience numbers equal to or better than such competitors, Newsmax Media sees the potential for significant revenue growth in this area.

Newsmax Media strives to produce high-quality television programming for distribution to build viewership and audience loyalty, increase television revenue through license fees and advertising revenue to sustain long-term growth within targeted demographic groups, predominantly viewers (and readers) who are 45 years of age or older, which is the largest demographic group in the nation, holding more than 70% of the nation’s disposable income. Newsmax Media’s strategy is to maximize the distribution, ratings and profit potential of its television programming. Newsmax Media seeks to extend its content distribution across all platforms, including linear cable, OTT and FAST channels, which provide promotional platforms for Newsmax Media’s television content and serve as additional outlets for advertising revenue. Newsmax Media’s goal is to reach its target audience wherever and whenever they are consuming content, as well as reaching new audiences, including broadband-only, “cord cutters” and “cord nevers.” Audience ratings and audience engagement are key drivers of advertising revenue and demand on the part of cable television operators, direct-to-home satellite operators, telecommunication service providers, and other content distributors who deliver Newsmax Media’s content to their viewers. Newsmax Media’s television advertisement sales have increased by 395% compared to 2020 ($14.6 million to $72.2 million). According to MediaRadar, the combined television advertising revenue of Fox News, CNN and MSNBC decreased by 10% from 2022 to 2023, while Newsmax Media’s television advertisement sales revenue grew by 6%.

In 2023, Newsmax Broadcasting launched its streaming service, Newsmax+, and, as of the date of this Offering Circular, had approximately 220,000 viewers subscribed for the subscription service paying $50 or more per year. Newsmax+ offers subscribers the ability to watch the Newsmax and Newsmax2 channels at any time using apps found on their home TV, phone or tablet devices. The service also offers licensed and original documentaries, movies, series and news specials. The subscription price for Newsmax+ varies depending on whether a subscribed viewer choses an annual or a monthly subscription, with annual subscriptions costing less than monthly subscriptions.

Digital

The Newsmax Media digital platform includes Newsmax.com and affiliated websites, which together draw more than five million unique monthly visitors, more than five million email opt-in subscribers, approximately seven million subscribers to its push mobile and SMS text messaging alerts, and upwards of 16 million social media followers on its social media platforms including Facebook (over 4.7 million), X (over 2.7 million), YouTube (approximately 2.2 million), Truth Social (over 2.1 million), Instagram (approximately 1.9 million), Rumble (approximately 1.2 million), Gettr (over 995,000), Threads (over 175,000), TikTok (over 55,000), LinkedIn (approximately 72,000) and Telegram (over 6,700). Newsmax Media’s print and digital magazine, Newsmax Magazine, has approximately 300,000 monthly readers and the Newsmax app has been downloaded over 10 million times. Newsmax Media estimates that its digital advertisement sales will increase from $19.1 million in 2022 to an estimated $23.5 million in 2024.

The digital segment generates revenues through (1) online advertising, including online display, paid content placement on the Newsmax.com homepage, email advertising, other online placements and print advertisements, (2) subscriptions, including for its streaming service Newsmax+ as well as a collection of 10 specialized health and financial newsletters, Newsmax Magazine and four online membership programs, and (3) e-commerce.

Newsmax Media’s websites and apps provide live and/or on-demand streaming of network-related programming to allow video subscribers of Newsmax Media’s participating distribution partners to view content via the Internet.

Newsmax Media’s Competitive Strengths

Fast-growing news network with an established brand and loyal audience that is valued by advertisers.

Newsmax Media has established itself as a premium news brand with loyal audience across multiple platforms, including linear cable MVPDs, OTT streaming, digital and print. With recent key talent acquisitions and a management team poised to drive continued growth, Newsmax Media has established itself as a news service that has consistently gained new viewers and retained existing viewers. Newsmax Media reaches over 52 million viewers regularly through its several proprietary platforms and social media accounts. The Newsmax cable news network reaches approximately 21 million viewers, according to Nielsen. Newsmax also has an exclusive television audience as Nielsen reports that approximately five million viewers watched Newsmax but never tuned into Fox News, and over two million viewers watched Newsmax but never tuned into Fox, CNN or MSNBC. The Newsmax channel is carried by major cable and satellite distributors in the U.S., including, but not limited to, DirecTV, Dish, Comcast/Xfinity, Charter/Spectrum and Verizon. Further, Newsmax’s OTT streaming channel, Newsmax2, reaches an estimated 17 million Americans regularly through its distributors, which includes major streaming platforms such as Roku, Samsung, Vizio, Xumo and Pluto. A survey conducted by YouGov/The Economist found that Newsmax was among the most trusted news brands in cable television.

Unlike competitors, Newsmax Media has potential for growth in both linear and virtual MVPD platforms.

Linear TV is primarily driven by live sports, news and events, and as media companies continue to focus on expanding their streaming service offerings, news consumption has risen in importance, thereby enhancing the value of the Newsmax channel and Newsmax Media. While the audience for paid MVPDs is shrinking, Newsmax as an upstart channel continues to witness paid distribution growth while still having the potential for adding more homes. In April 2024, one of the network’s major cable distributors added Newsmax into approximately five million additional customer homes, bringing the Newsmax channel’s distribution to over 50 million paid homes across the U.S. As other major cable competitors like CNN and Fox News see shrinking paid distribution footprints, Newsmax continues to grow while offering the potential for additional distribution growth.

Newsmax Media is a significant player in OTT streaming.

Newsmax Media was an early player in the emerging FAST channel platforms. Newsmax Media originally offered its main Newsmax channel to such platforms for free, in exchange for a share of advertising revenue. However, on November 1, 2023, as a result of the renewal of MVPD license agreements, the Newsmax channel was no longer available free to FAST channel platforms. Instead, Newsmax Media moved to replace the Newsmax channel with Newsmax2, a 24/7 news channel that provides news programming, documentaries and opinion programs. Also on November 1, 2023, Newsmax Media launched Newsmax+, its free streaming service. Subscribers are offered annual subscriptions at $49.99 or monthly subscriptions at $4.99. The Newsmax+ service offers access to Newsmax, Newsmax2, program archives, news specials and documentaries.

Newsmax Media has an extensive digital presence, giving it an advantage over new television news competitors.

Newsmax Media began digital media operations in September of 1998. For 25 years, Newsmax Media has invested heavily in its digital infrastructure, including its popular website, opt-in email database, SMS and app push notifications, customer and subscriber databases, and more than 16 million social media followers. Newsmax Media has a regular digital reach of over 17 million Americans per month. Newsmax Media uses these digital platforms to successfully drive audiences to its linear cable channel, its smartphone app, Newsmax2 and its streaming service Newsmax+. At the same time, Newsmax Media has used its large television and social media audiences to continue to grow its digital properties and, in turn, their databases. Few cable and TV channels have the ability to directly message with their audiences like Newsmax Media, giving Newsmax Media a TV-digital ecosystem that constantly generates viewers and visitors while growing company revenues through advertising and subscriptions.

Newsmax Media has a mixed revenue business model, reducing the impact of advertising declines, recession and other economic impacts.

While most competitors rely solely on cable license fees and advertising, Newsmax Media has a revenue model utilizing multiple streams of income. In addition to cable license fees and linear television advertising, Newsmax Media accrues revenues through OTT streaming advertising, subscriptions to its Newsmax+ service, subscriptions to its online and print publication, books published in print, audio and e-book formats, digital and web advertising, print advertising, podcasting and radio advertising revenue, and sales from its extensive line of nutraceuticals.

Clearly identified target demographic of subscribers with high disposable income and brand loyalty.

Newsmax Media has established itself as a leading cable network, with a consistent audience and subscribers with brand loyalty. With a target audience of viewers aged 45 and above, Newsmax Media’s content has resonated with this traditionally underserved audience. As Newsmax Media’s share of the cable news audience continues to grow, Newsmax Media has attracted an affluent audience with a higher than average household income, making Newsmax Media an attractive and valuable platform for advertisers.

Attractive financial profile with high revenue visibility and profitability and multiple levers for near-term growth.

Newsmax Media’s significant investments in the broadcasting segment has fueled strong revenue growth and created significant potential for growth across traditional and digital platforms both domestically and internationally. In addition to the continued growth in linear cable television advertising, Newsmax TV has multiple revenue streams that it expects to continue to mature over the next several years. Growth in OTT and diversification of Newsmax Media’s content services will allow Newsmax Media to generate revenue both as a premium subscription-based service and as a FAST service on OTT platforms. Opportunities for international distribution also present additional potential to monetize the Newsmax TV service.

Newsmax Media’s Goals and Strategies

Maintain and enhance leading position in news and other content production.

Newsmax Media has been a leader in digital news and with the continued growth of its television service, plans to continue to invest in talent acquisition and programming that we expect to raise the profile and visibility of Newsmax Media to a broader audience. With expanded content offerings, Newsmax Media plans to expand its reach and value to audiences through traditional platform and direct-to-consumer services.

Increase revenue growth through the continued delivery of premium content.

Newsmax Media will continue to focus on creating high-quality content delivered through diversified publishing platforms that offers value to its audience, advertisers and distribution partners. As a live linear content service, Newsmax Media seeks to offer a unique perspective and voice that resonates with audiences across those platforms and further develop a dedicated and loyal audience.

Expand television and digital distribution offerings, increasing complementary sources of revenues.

Newsmax Media’s key goals are to maximize its subscriber penetration on traditional cable platforms, growing its subscription base for Newsmax+, increasing audiences for its news channels, develop its footprint in international markets - all while creating additional revenue opportunities through advertising sales. Newsmax Media will also further develop its delivery strategies on emerging content and social platforms to increase interaction with its audience.

Newsmax Media’s Competition

Cable network programming is a highly competitive business. Cable networks compete for content, distribution, viewers and advertisers with a variety of media, including broadcast television networks; cable television systems and networks; internet-delivered platforms such as live streaming, mobile, gaming and social media platforms; audio programming; and print and other media. Important competitive factors include the prices charged for programming, the quantity, quality and variety of programming offered, the accessibility of such programming, the ability to adapt to new technologies and distribution platforms, quality of user experience and the effectiveness of marketing efforts.

Newsmax Media’s primary competition comes from the cable networks FOX News, CNN, HLN, MSNBC and NewsNation. Newsmax Media also competes for viewers and advertisers within a broad spectrum of television networks, including other non-news cable networks and free-to-air broadcast television networks. Newsmax Media also faces competition online from Foxnews.com, CNN.com, Politico.com, WashingtonExaminer.com, NBCNews.com, NYTimes.com, CNBC.com, Bloomberg.com and The Wall Street Journal Online, among others.

Newsmax Media’s programming also competes for the sale of advertising with other television networks, including broadcast, cable, local networks, and other content distribution outlets for their target audiences and the sale of advertising. Newsmax Media’s success in selling advertising is a function of the size and demographics of our audiences, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of our audience, the perceived quality of the network and the content, the brand appeal of the network, ratings as determined by third-party research companies, prices charged for advertising and overall advertiser demand in the marketplace.

Newsmax Media’s networks and digital products also compete for their target audiences with all forms of content and other media provided to viewers, including broadcast, cable and local networks, streaming services, pay-per-view and VOD services, online activities and other forms of news, information and media entertainment.

Governmental Regulation

Privacy and Information Regulation

The laws and regulations governing the collection, use and transfer of consumer information are complex and rapidly evolving, particularly as they relate to the Company’s digital businesses. Federal and state laws and regulations affecting the Company’s online services, websites, and other business activities include: the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, which prohibits websites and online services from collecting personally identifiable information online from children under age 13 without prior parental consent; the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act, which regulates, among other things, the distribution of unsolicited commercial emails, or “spam”; the Video Privacy Protection Act, which prohibits the knowing disclosure of information that identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video materials from a “video tape service provider;” the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which restricts certain marketing communications, such as text messages and calls, without explicit consent; the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which regulates the collection, handling, disclosure, and use of certain personal information by companies that offer consumers financial products or services, imposes notice obligations, and provides certain individual rights regarding the use and disclosure of certain information; and the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA which took effect on January 1, 2023. The CCPA imposes broad obligations on the collection, use, handling and disclosure of personal information of California residents. For example, subject to certain exceptions, the CCPA provides individual rights for Californians, including to access, delete, and to restrict the “sale” of personal information; the CPRA amendment added new privacy protections, including the right of California residents to correct inaccurate personal information that a business has about them, and the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected about them. The CPRA amendment requires that a business’ collection, use, retention, and sharing of a consumer’s personal information be “reasonably necessary and proportionate to achieve the purposes for which the personal information was collected or processed, or for another disclosed purpose that is compatible with the context in which the personal information was collected, and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes.

A number of privacy and data security bills that address the collection, maintenance and use of personal information, breach notification requirements and cybersecurity are pending or have been adopted at the state and federal level, which would impose additional obligations on businesses. In addition to California, other states have passed or introduced similar privacy legislation, including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Delaware, Utah, and Texas. In addition, the FTC and state attorneys general and other regulators have made privacy and data security an enforcement focus. Other federal and state laws and regulations also may be adopted that impact our digital services, including those relating to oversight of user-generated content.

Foreign jurisdictions also have implemented and continue to introduce new privacy and data security laws and regulations, that apply to certain of the Subsidiaries’ operations. It is possible that our current data protection policies and practices may be deemed inconsistent with new legal requirements or interpretations thereof, and could result in the violation of these new laws and regulations. The EU General Data Protection Regulation and UK General Data Protection Regulation, in particular, regulates the collection, use and security of personal data and restricts the trans-border flow of such data. Other countries, including Canada, Australia, China, and Mexico, also have enacted data protection legislation.

The Company monitors and considers these laws and regulations, particularly with respect to the design and operation of digital content services and legal and regulatory compliance programs. These laws and regulations and their interpretation are subject to change, and could result in increased compliance costs, claims, financial penalties for noncompliance, changes to business practices, including with respect to tailored advertising, or otherwise impact the Subsidiaries’ businesses. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in significant monetary fines and other penalties, private litigation, require us to expend significant resources to defend, remedy and/or address, and harm our reputation, even if we are not ultimately responsible for the violation.

Intellectual Property

The Subsidiaries’ intellectual property assets include: copyrights in television programming and other publications, websites and technologies; trademarks, trade dress, service marks, logos, slogans, sound marks, design rights, symbols, characters, names, titles and trade names, domain names; trade secrets and know how; and licenses of intellectual property rights of various kinds. The Subsidiaries derive value from these assets through the production, distribution and/or licensing of its television programming to domestic and international cable and satellite television services, video-on-demand services, operation of websites, and through the sale of products, such as collectible merchandise, apparel, books and publications, among others.

The Subsidiaries devote significant resources to protecting their intellectual property, relying upon a combination of copyright, trademark, unfair competition, trade secret and other laws and contract provisions. There can be no assurance of the degree to which these measures will be successful in any given case. Policing unauthorized use of the Subsidiaries’ products and services and related intellectual property is often difficult and the steps taken may not in every case prevent the infringement by unauthorized third parties of the Subsidiaries’ intellectual property. The Subsidiaries seeks to limit that threat through a combination of approaches, including offering legitimate market alternatives, deploying digital rights management technologies, pursuing legal sanctions for infringement, promoting appropriate legislative initiatives and international treaties and enhancing public awareness of the meaning and value of intellectual property and intellectual property laws. Piracy, including in the digital environment, continues to present a threat to revenues from products and services based on intellectual property.

Third parties may challenge the validity or scope of the Subsidiaries’ intellectual property from time to time, and such challenges could result in the limitation or loss of intellectual property rights. Even if not valid, such claims may result in substantial costs and diversion of resources that could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

Employees

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Subsidiaries employed approximately 400 full-time employees. In the ordinary course of business and consistent with industry practice, the Subsidiaries also employ freelance and temporary contract workers who provide important production and broadcast support services. The vast majority of the Subsidiaries’ workforce is based in the United States. All of the Subsidiaries’ employees are employed by Newsmax Media.

Key human capital initiatives include:

Recruitment and Diversity

The Subsidiaries hire and promote people based on their experience, ability and accomplishments without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or other personal identifiers. The Subsidiaries seek personnel with diverse talents from a broad spectrum of backgrounds, and support, encourage, and develop their colleagues to show innovation and leadership in their roles. The Subsidiaries believe that diversity in views, experiences and backgrounds contributes to a strong internal culture and improves external programming. We believe such diversity enables us to be more reflective of the audiences we reach and enhances our ability to create news, sports, and entertainment programming that serves all viewers across the country. A diverse and inclusive workplace is not merely a strategy or business objective; it is fundamentally woven in the fabric of the Company. This commitment begins with our approach to talent recruitment across all of our disciplines and extends to the way we nurture our colleagues’ careers. The Subsidiaries posts their respective job listings internally and externally because they believe this is one of the best tools to reach the widest pool of experienced candidates.

Employee Compensation and Benefits

The Subsidiaries invest in their respective people through competitive pay and benefits, as well as flexibility and support to balance work and personal demands. Providing equal pay for equal work, without regard to gender or other protected characteristics, is imperative for the Company.

The Subsidiaries also seek to provide generous benefits that support their employees’ health, wellness, and financial stability through their benefit plans. Full-time employees of the Subsidiaries are eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance, with access to telemedicine and pharmacy benefits, and its freelance employees who work a minimum number of hours are eligible for a medical plan. Eligible employees may participate in flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, and qualified transportation expense accounts. The Subsidiaries also provide employees with a health advocate service, with experts who support employees and their eligible family members in navigating a wide range of health and insurance-related issues. Full-time employees of the Subsidiaries are eligible to receive paid holidays, paid time off, and to participate in Newsmax Media’s matching 401(k) savings plan.

The Company believes offering its employees the tools necessary for a healthy work-life balance empowers them to thrive in our modern workforce. To that end, the Company’s policies allow eligible individuals the opportunity to work remotely in appropriate circumstances. All benefits provided to the Subsidiaries’ employees are provided by Newsmax Media.

Workplace Civility and Unity

The Company is committed to fostering a working environment of trust for all employees, in which people do their best work. Harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and threats to health and safety all undermine our working environment of trust and make it harder for people to excel. Therefore, it is the Company’s policy to provide a safe work environment free from this or any other unlawful conduct.

Creating and maintaining an environment free of discrimination and harassment begins at the highest leadership level of the Company and is embedded throughout our policies and practices. Newsmax Media’s employee handbook creates our framework for addressing complaints and taking remedial measures as needed. Company employees are required to engage in interpersonal training programs that foster a strong, positive work environment.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject from time to time to a number of lawsuits, including claims relating to competition, intellectual property rights, alleged libel or defamation, employment and labor matters, personal injury and property damage, free speech, customer privacy, regulatory requirements, and advertising, marketing and selling practices. Except as set forth below, the Company is currently not aware of any legal proceedings or claims that will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results. For more information, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Legal and Regulatory Matters”.

On August 10, 2021, Dominion Voting Systems Corporation, Inc. or certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Dominion”), an election technology company, filed a complaint against Newsmax Media in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for defamation in connection with our coverage of the 2020 Presidential election, seeking up to $1.6 billion in compensatory damages as well as punitive damages. 

Discovery in the Dominion case, including depositions and expert discovery, remains ongoing. At this time, a trial in the Dominion lawsuit is not expected to commence until 2025. Newsmax Media believes that it offered balanced and fair coverage in the dispute over the 2020 elections and the Dominion case is without merit and it has and will continue to vigorously defend against such suit.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, Newsmax is unable to predict the final outcome of the Dominion matter and cannot reasonably estimate the amount of its liability, if any. However, an unfavorable outcome in the Dominion matter could have a material adverse effect on Newsmax’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In addition, on November 3, 2021, Smartmatic USA Corp. or certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Smartmatic”), another election technology company, filed a complaint against Newsmax Media in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware for defamation, seeking compensatory, consequential and punitive damages to be determined at trial.

Newsmax Media reached a settlement agreement with Smartmatic on September 26, 2024, pursuant to which all claims will be released by Smartmatic for consideration, including a cash amount of approximately $40 million payable over time and the issuance of a five year cash exercise warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $5,000 per share. As of the date hereof, the Company has made payments under the settlement agreement totaling $20 million. Payment of the remaining balance will be made in installments of $10 million on or prior to each of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The payments will be made from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and no proceeds of this Offering will be used to make the remaining payments. Management believes the settlement with Smartmatic will, subject to the payment of all consideration in a timely manner, eliminate future legal expenses the Company would have expected to bear related to this suit, which could have included costly appellate legal actions and other matters.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled “Summary Financial Data,” “Business,” and our audited and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and other information included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Additionally, our historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in any future period.

Overview of the Company’s Business

Founded in 1998 as a digital media brand, Newsmax entered the cable news market in 2014. Since then, the network has had an astonishing rise, climbing into the top tier of cable channels, and is now the fourth highest-rated cable news channel in the United States, just behind CNN. According to Nielsen, Newsmax was the only cable news channel to see ratings growth across all dayparts in 2023, with prime-time up 42% in total viewers. Q1 2024 also saw an impressive 137% rise in prime-time ratings, compared to the same period last year.

The Company has developed a significant audience, reaching over 40 million Americans each month through its television broadcasts and multi-platform content, and has demonstrated remarkable growth with revenues up 332% since 2019.

In June 2024, a Reuters global survey of media found Newsmax was one of the nation’s “top news brands,” identifying the network as one of only 12 major media outlets Americans are turning to regularly.

Newsmax Inc. is a holding company that owns 100% of the equity interests of its operating company Newsmax Media and the other Subsidiaries operate the businesses described in this Offering Circular, and none of those businesses are operated by Newsmax Inc.

Newsmax Media is a television broadcaster and multi-platform content publisher that produces original news and editorial content for consumers through various media outlets, including through its TV news channels, digital and print publications, its popular website Newsmax.com and affiliated sites, its syndicated radio show and podcasts and other platforms in order to sell advertising to third-party marketers as well as offering paid subscriptions to more than a dozen digital and print products sold by Newsmax Media. Newsmax Media content is carried by all major linear cable and satellite pay TV platforms, or MVPDs for the Newsmax channel, and most over the top (“OTT”) streaming platforms for its free ad-supported streaming television service (“FAST”) channel Newsmax2, making Newsmax Media content available to over 100 million homes in the U.S. In addition, international companies have licensed Newsmax Media’s channels and brand for regional, national and local television and digital media purposes. Certain licensing agreements currently in place have allowed Newsmax Media’s partners to provide cable television and digital news under the Newsmax Media brand to viewers in several European countries, including Republic of Serbia, Republic of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Albania.

Newsmax Media operates several business lines through its subsidiaries and divisions, creating a synergistic effect on audience growth, revenues and customer acquisition. These business lines are grouped into 2 separate reportable segments which consist of Broadcasting and Digital:

Growth Strategies and Outlook

Maintain and enhance leading position in news and other content production.

Newsmax Media has been a leader in digital news and with the continued growth of its television service, plans to continue to invest in talent acquisition and programming that we expect to raise the profile and visibility of Newsmax Media to a broader audience. With expanded content offerings, Newsmax Media plans to expand its reach and value to audiences through traditional platform and direct-to-consumer services.

Increase revenue growth through the continued delivery of premium content.

Newsmax Media will continue to focus on creating high-quality content delivered through diversified publishing platforms that offers value to its audience, advertisers and distribution partners. As a live linear content service, Newsmax Media seeks to offer a unique perspective and voice that resonates with audiences across those platforms and further develop a dedicated and loyal audience.

Expand television and digital distribution offerings, increasing complementary sources of revenues.

Trends and Other Factors Impacting Our Performance

The Company’s broadcast segment derives the majority of its revenues from advertising. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated revenues of approximately $79.8 million, of which 61.5% was generated from advertising in the broadcast and digital segments, 16.8% was generated from affiliate fee revenue, 16.3% was generated from subscriptions for publications including Newsmax+ and 5.4% was generated from other lines of business which are primarily ecommerce sales of nutraceuticals, books and licensing fees.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company generated revenues of $135.3 million, of which approximately 79.3% was generated from advertising in the broadcast and digital segments, approximately 13.4% was generated from subscriptions for publications including Newsmax+, approximately 5.5% was generated from other lines of business which are primarily ecommerce sales of nutraceuticals, books and licensing fee and approximately 1.8% was generated from affiliate fees.

Affiliate fees are a new revenue stream that started in November 2023 that primarily include (i) monthly subscriber-based license and retransmission consent fees paid by programming distributors that carry the Newsmax channel. The Company’s revenues are impacted by rate changes, changes in the number of subscribers to MVPD’s and changes in the expenditures by advertisers. In addition, advertising revenues are subject to seasonality and cyclicality as a result of the impact of state, congressional and presidential election cycles.

The cable network programming and television industries continue to evolve rapidly, with changes in technology leading to alternative methods for the delivery and storage of digital content. These technological advancements have driven changes in consumer behavior as consumers now have more control over when, where and how they consume content. Consumer preferences have evolved toward lower cost alternatives, including direct-to-consumer offerings. These changes in technologies and consumer behavior have contributed to declines in the number of subscribers to MVPD services, and these declines are expected to continue and possibly accelerate in the future.

At the same time, technological changes have increased advertisers’ options for reaching their target audiences. There has been a substantial increase in the availability of content with reduced advertising or without advertising at all. As consumers switch to digital consumption of video content, there is still to be developed a consistent, broadly accepted measure of multiplatform audiences across the industry. Furthermore, the pricing and volume of advertising may be affected by shifts in spending from more traditional media and toward digital and mobile offerings, which can deliver targeted advertising more promptly, or toward newer ways of purchasing advertising.

The Company operates in a highly competitive industry and its performance is dependent, to a large extent, on the impact of changes in consumer behavior as a result of new technologies, the sale of advertising, the maintenance, renewal and terms of its carriage, affiliation and content agreements and programming rights, the popularity of its content, general economic conditions (including financial market conditions), the Company’s ability to manage its businesses effectively, and its relative strength and leverage in the industry.

Components of our Results of Operations

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the Company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods are services.

Advertising Revenue

Advertising revenue is derived from the sale of advertising on the Company’s cable television, email database, in the Company’s magazine and related publications, or on the Company’s website. Revenue related to the sale of advertising in the broadcast segment is recognized at the time of broadcast. Revenue related to the Company's digital segment is recognized when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the various digital media. Each advertisement insertion order is determined to be a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied at the point in time when such advertisements are published/aired. The Company records revenue from contracts that are entered into between the Company and its customers, primarily advertising agencies and direct advertisers, at the amount charged for the services. Advertising contracts, which are generally short-term, are billed monthly for the services provided during the month, with payments due shortly thereafter. Cash payments received prior to services rendered result in deferred revenue, which is then recognized as revenue when the advertising time or space is actually provided.

The Company enters into agreements with over-the-top distribution platforms to distribute the Company’s news channel. Pursuant to the Company’s distribution agreements, advertising revenues are earned based on an allocation of the fee determined by the number of impressions received. These contracts represent a single performance obligation recognized over time under the series guidance. Revenue is recognized upon delivery of the content over the course of an over-the-top distribution agreement term based on time elapsed, as this best depicts the simultaneous consumption and delivery of the services. The Company bills OTT customers monthly over the life of the contract. The Company has an unconditional right to receive payment of the amount billed generally within 30 days from the invoice date. The invoiced amount to be received is recorded in accounts receivable on the balance sheets.

Affiliate Fee Revenue

The Company generates affiliate fee revenue from agreements with MVPDs for cable network. Affiliate fee revenue is recognized as we continuously make the programming available to the customer over the term of the agreement. For contracts with affiliate fees based on the number of the affiliate’s subscribers, revenues are recognized based on the contractual rate multiplied by the estimated number of subscribers each period. Affiliate contracts are generally multi-year contracts billed monthly with payments due shortly thereafter.

Subscription Revenue

The Company sells magazines to consumers through subscriptions. Each subscription is determined to be a distinct performance obligation that is satisfied over the term of the subscription, normally one (1) to five (5) years. Payments for subscriptions received in advance of the publication are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as income over the term, as this best represents the transfer of control of the services to the consumer. The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

In 2023, the Company launched Newsmax+ which is a subscription service that provides the Company’s broadcast content directly to consumers either on a monthly or annual basis. Monthly subscriptions are recognized as income in the month it was earned. Annual subscriptions are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as income over the term of the contract each month.

Product sales

Product sales are derived from the sales of books, audio and video, dietary supplements, television production and distribution, and other items advertised on the Company’s website. Supplement, books, media and other product sales are recognized at the point in time control transfers to the customer, which is when the product is shipped. Allowances are considered for estimated returns and refunds at the point in time when revenue is recognized. The Company records taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis.

As a practical expedient, the Company recognizes any incremental costs of obtaining contracts as expense as the amortization period is considered to be a year or less. As a practical expedient, the Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products.

Shipping and Handling Cost

Amounts billed to third-party customers for shipping and handling are included as a component of revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred are included as a component of cost of products sold.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues consists primarily of compensation-related expenses and costs incurred for the publishing of editorial, promotional, and news content across all platforms, as well as amounts due to third party websites and platforms to fulfil customers’ advertising campaigns. Web hosting and advertising serving platform costs are also included in cost of services. Cost of product sold consists primarily of cost of inventory sold, fulfillment costs and compensation.

General and Administrative expenses

General and administrative expense consists of compensation-related expenses for corporate employees. Also, it consists of expenses for advertising, facilities, professional services fees, insurance costs, legal or other corporate costs, and other general overhead costs.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses and doubtful accounts. The Company’s allowance for credit losses consists of losses expected based on known credit issues with specific customers as well as a general expected credit loss allowance based on relevant information, including historical loss rates, current conditions, and reasonable economic forecasts that affect collectability.

Inventory

Inventory consists of promotional items, books and supplements and is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or net realizable value. The Company also reduces the carrying value of inventories for items identified as excess, obsolete, or slow-moving based on customer demand and other economic factors.

Advertising Costs

Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed as incurred.

Defamation and Disparagement Claims

From time to time, the Company is subject to lawsuits alleging defamation or disparagement. These include lawsuits filed by Smartmatic USA Corp. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Smartmatic”) and Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Dominion”) filed during 2021. The Smartmatic complaint sought an unspecified amount of damages while the Dominion complaint is seeking $1.6 billion in damages. On September 26, 2024, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Smartmatic pursuant to which the parties agreed to resolve the lawsuits among them. The Company agreed to pay a settlement of approximately $40 million payable over time and granted a five year cash exercise warrant to purchase 2,000 shares of Series B preferred stock at an exercise price of $5,000 per share, which is included in Other corporate matters in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and recorded as accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2024. As of the date hereof, the Company has made payments under the settlement agreement totaling $20 million. Payment of the remaining balance will be made in installments of $10 million on or prior to each of March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025. The payments will be made from the Company’s existing cash on hand, and no proceeds of this Offering will be used to make the remaining payments.

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2024, versus six months ended June 30, 2023

The results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. The following table sets forth our results of operations data for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Revenues

Revenues increased by approximately $20.5 million, or 34.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Affiliate fee revenues increased by approximately $13.4 million due to significant new contractual relationships starting, principally in November 2023. Subscription revenue increased by approximately $4.1 million due to the launch of Newsmax+ streaming service that started in November 2023 but was offset by reductions in publication subscriptions due to decreased new customer acquisition. Product Sales decreased by approximately $0.3 million due to lower nutraceutical sales as a result of decreased new customer acquisition. Advertising revenue increased by approximately $2.0 million due to higher linear cable and satellite advertising revenue due to higher Nielsen ratings but was offset by reductions in OTT revenue resulting from the launch of Newsmax 2 in November 2023.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased by approximately $3.2 million, or 8.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was due to increased headcount, programming and production costs on our main Newsmax TV channel as well as investment into Newsmax 2 for OTT to build out the programming to better monetize Newsmax 2 on FAST channels. These increases were offset by reductions in distribution and carriage costs of approximately $1.9 million and approximately $0.8 million in royalty and product fulfillment costs for the period.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by approximately $17.2 million, or 81.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit as a percent of revenues increased to 48.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 35.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Gross profit increased mainly due to the addition of affiliate fee and Newsmax+ revenue streams.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by approximately $34.0 million or 56.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to certain litigation expenses, and related fees, for specific proceedings including the recent settlement with Smartmatic that the Company has determined are infrequent and unusual in terms of their magnitude. Also increasing were administrative and marketing headcount, Nielsen fees, travel expense, sales commissions, recruiting fees and depreciation for equipment purchases for continued buildout of our infrastructure and coverage of major new events. These increases were offset by reductions in marketing for new subscriber acquisitions and TV promotion using web and radio advertising and bad debt expense.

For the six months ended June 2023, the Company capitalized upfront costs associated with a business agreement with a commercial counterparty amounting to $41.3 million. The Company has identified indicators that the carrying value of these upfront costs may not be fully recoverable. As a result, the Company’s broadcast segment recognized impairment of the upfront cost for the six months ended June 2023 of $23.9 million in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. There was no impairment recognized for the six months ended June 2024.

Other, net

Other, net expense decreased by approximately $0.1 million, or 819.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to increases in unrealized gains on marketable securities offset by decreases in interest and dividend income as well as an increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Broadcast Revenues increased by $20.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to affiliate fee revenue of approximately $13.4 million, which attributed to significant new contractual relationships starting principally in November 2023, advertising revenue of approximately $0.8 million due to higher ratings and pricing, subscription revenue of approximately $5.3 million from Newsmax+ which launched in November 2023 and licensing revenue of approximately $1.2 million.

Broadcast Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to an increase in gross profit driven by the addition of affiliate fee revenue which did not require a significant increase in expense. Other factors that affected segment adjusted EBITDA are increased headcount, programming and production costs on our main Newsmax TV channel as well as investment into Newsmax 2 for OTT to build out the programming to better monetize Newsmax 2 on FAST channels. These increases were offset by reductions in distribution and carriage costs of approximately $1.9 million, OTT transmission expense of approximately $0.34 million, marketing for TV promotion of approximately $2.0 million and bad debt expense of approximately $0.39 million for the period.

Digital Revenues decreased by $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to decreases in subscription revenue and ecommerce nutraceutical sales as a result of decreased marketing for new customer acquisitions which were offset by increased advertising revenue due to higher page views and CPM’s associated with the news cycle.

Digital Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to six months ended June 30, 2023, due to lower subscription costs due to lower subscription volume offset by increased headcount and sales commissions on advertising revenue and professional fees and in rent expense.

Six months ended June 30, 2024 versus six months ended June 30, 2023

The following table reconciles Net loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023:

Results of Operations

Fiscal 2023 versus fiscal 2022

The results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. The following table sets forth our results of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022:

Revenues

Revenues were flat for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Subscription revenue declined by approximately $1.0 million due to decreased marketing for new customer acquisition. Product Sales decreased by $3.2 million due to decreased book sales, as we did not have a best-selling book in 2023 and lower nutraceutical sales as a result of decreased new customer acquisition. Advertising revenue increased by $1.4 million due to higher linear cable and satellite advertising revenue due to rise in Nielsen ratings. This was offset by reductions in OTT revenue resulting from the launch of Newsmax 2 in the fourth quarter of 2023, which allowed us to begin to collect affiliate fees. Affiliate fee revenue is a new revenue stream in 2023 as the Company begins to collect fees from MVPDs for its content on the main Newsmax TV channel on cable and satellite systems which brought in approximately $2.4 million of revenue for 2023.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues increased by approximately $3.1 million, or 4.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to increased headcount, programming and production costs on our main Newsmax TV channel as well as investment into Newsmax 2 for OTT to allow the company to begin to collect affiliate fee revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased by approximately $3.1 million, or 5.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit as a percent of revenues declined to 41.3% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 43.6% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit percent decreased mainly due to increased cost of revenues as outlined above.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by approximately $22.5 million or 28.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to a $23.9 million impairment of the capitalized upfront costs associated with a business agreement with a commercial counterparty along with increases in marketing analytics for TV, increased payroll and benefit expense, consulting fees, rent expenses and legal fees. These increases were offset by reduced marketing for new subscriber acquisitions using direct mail, radio and web advertising.

Other, net

Other, net expense decreased by approximately $3.8 million, or 853.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to income tax credits and unrealized gains on securities.

Fiscal 2023 versus Fiscal 2022

The following tables set forth the Company’s Revenues and Segment EBITDA for fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022:

Broadcast Revenues increased for fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, due to affiliate fee revenue of approximately $2.4 million, which is a new revenue stream that began in Q4 2023, advertising revenue of approximately $2.2 million due to higher ratings and pricing, subscription revenue of approximately $0.9 million from Newsmax+ which launched in late 2023 and licensing revenue of approximately $0.7 million.

Broadcast Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased for fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, due to increased headcount, programming and production costs on our main Newsmax TV channel as well as investment into Newsmax 2 for OTT to allow the company to begin to collect affiliate fee revenue and increased bad debt expense. These were offset by reductions of approximately $4.8 million in marketing and distribution fees.

Digital Revenues decreased for fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, due to decreases in subscription revenue and ecommerce nutraceutical sales as a result of decreased marketing for new customer acquisitions and decreases in ecommerce books sales as we did not have a NY Times best seller in 2023 as we did in 2022.

Digital Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased for fiscal 2023, as compared to fiscal 2022, due to reductions in cost of revenues of approximately $1.7 million, which were primarily for fulfillment and product costs due to lower sales volume, as well as decreased marketing expense for new customer acquisition of approximately $9.8 million and $.8 million reduction in professional expenses. These reductions offset the $6.2 million decrease in revenue.
