Corporate Action: Ipo

Type: Update

Accession Number: 000121390025049411

Filing Summary: Functional Brands Inc., formerly HT Naturals Inc., filed Amendment No. 7 to its Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC on May 30, 2025. This amendment relates to the registration of common stock for resale by registered stockholders in connection with the company's upcoming direct listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Unlike a traditional IPO, the shares being sold by stockholders will not be underwritten by an investment bank. The document highlights that Nasdaq will produce a Current Reference Price based on pre-opening orders, and trading will commence once the stock is deemed ready by the financial advisor. The company aims to begin trading around July 2025, contingent upon approval from Nasdaq. If the listing is not approved, the direct listing will not be completed, posing risks to the offering. In addition, the prospectus outlines details about the company’s operations in the nutraceutical industry, including its Kirkman and HempTown brands, and its goal to comply with reduced reporting requirements for emerging growth companies.
