This Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements contained in this Annual Report, other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, potential growth or growth prospects, future research and development, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believes,” “may,” “will,” “estimates,” “potential,” “continues,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “expects,” “could,” “would,” “projects,” “plans,” “targets,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the “Risk Factors” in this Annual Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Annual Report and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that disclose risks and uncertainties that may affect our business. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Recreatd is the pillar which houses Creatd’s intellectual property and legacy media assets, including acquired artwork, photographs and media memorabilia. Recreatd represents an initiative by Creatd to revitalize transmedia content, utilizing Vocal Ventures’ technology, data, and marketing capabilities to reboot archival media assets and e-commerce properties. Creatd has a history of successfully executing such acquisition and assimilation projects, including its resuscitation of General Media properties such as the iconic women’s magazine, Viva, into digital communities and absorbing once-defunct content communities like Creators Media (which at one time was valued at $50MM). Creatd has a vast collection of intellectual property and legacy content, including a documentary about the life of Bob Guccione directed by Barry Avrich; Till Human Voices Wake Us, a short film starring Lindsay Lohan and directed by famed photographer Indrani; No One’s Pet, the biography of Penthouse Pet Sheila Kennedy authored by renown film critic Glenn Kenny; and The Mind’s Eye, The Art of Omni. The Company’s ability to leverage its technology to revitalize this content represents a significant value proposition for media companies and publishers that are sitting on vast collections of content that are of supreme quality but are not in a suitable format for today’s consumer.

On March 9, 2021, the Exchange notified the Company that the Panel had determined to continue the listing of the Company on the Exchange. Notwithstanding the Panel’s determination to continue the listing of the Company’s securities on the Exchange, the Panel issued a public reprimand letter to the Company, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(c)(1)(D), based on its finding “that the Company failed to meet the initial listing criteria with respect to stockholders’ equity and failed to provide Nasdaq with material information with respect to that deficiency.” Specifically, the Panel found that the Company failed to comply with Listing Rule 5250(a)(1), requiring it to notify Nasdaq of certain significant developments that led to the Company’s prior representations about its ability to satisfy the initial listing requirements being inaccurate. In reaching its determination to continue the listing of the Company on Nasdaq, the Panel acknowledged that the Company has since demonstrated compliance with the initial listing requirement for stockholders’ equity and all other applicable initial listing requirements. The Panel also determined that the violations were inadvertent and that the Company had relied on advice of counsel at the time in its interactions with the Nasdaq staff (“Staff”). The Panel also acknowledged the Company’s efforts to implement structural changes within the Company to avoid similar misstatements in the future and that would allow for proper accounting and disclosure on an ongoing basis.

Each of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Eighth Judicial District Court of Clark County, Nevada shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims with respect to: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought in the name or right of the Company or on its behalf, (ii)  any action asserting a claim for breach of any fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action arising or asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Nevada Revised Statutes Chapters 78 or 92A or any provision of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, including, without limitation, any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws. This exclusive forum provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Ms. Martin was elected to our board of directors in October of 2020. Ms. Martin began her career in 1979 as an enforcement attorney with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, investigating and prosecuting securities fraud and manipulation during her nine-year tenure. In 1987, she joined E.F. Hutton, which ultimately became Lehman Brothers, as a Vice President in the General Counsel’s Office. Ms. Martin held a series of successively responsible positions over her eight-year tenure through 1995, including as Senior Vice President and Manager of the Derivatives Finance Group, overseeing the legal, regulatory, credit and tax due diligence supporting equity derivatives transactions.  In 1995, Ms. Martin joined Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) as General Counsel of its US Broker Dealer, charged with building out legal and compliance to support planned U.S. growth. By 2004, she was United States General Counsel for the U.S. banking and securities platform, having overseen, among other matters, legal due diligence and regulatory approvals for acquisitions, as well as corporate governance initiatives. Finally, during her nearly 20-year tenure, Ms. Martin established the bank’s inaugural government affairs division in the United States, with a mandate for strategically identifying critical issues and executing on plans for engagement with elected regulatory officials, industry peers, trade associations, and other influencers. Ms. Martin has not held other employment since 2013.
