Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR
REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
On February 17, 2021, we
completed a public offering of 6,210,000 shares of our common stock, inclusive of the underwriters’ full overallotment, at $10.00
per share for total gross offering proceeds of $62,100,000. In connection with the offering, we received approval to list our common
stock on Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “UGRO.” Prior to the offering, shares of our common stock were quoted on
the OTC Markets Group, Inc. OTCQX Marketplace under the symbol “UGRO.” Although our shares were quoted on the OTCQX Marketplace
from October 7, 2019 through February 11, 2021, because trading on the OTCQX Marketplace was infrequent and limited in volume, the prices
at which such transactions occurred did not necessarily reflect the price that would have been paid for our common stock in a more liquid
market.
The trading price of our
common stock has been, and may continue to be, subject to wide price fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond
our control, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
HOLDERS
As of January 12, 2025, we
had 79 holders of record of our Common Stock. The number of shareholders of record does not include beneficial owners of our common stock
whose shares are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks, brokers and other fiduciaries.
DIVIDENDS
Since our inception, we have
not paid any dividends on our common stock, and we currently expect that, for the foreseeable future, all earnings, if any, will be retained
for use in the development and operation of our business. In the future, our Board may decide, at its discretion, whether dividends may
be declared and paid to holders of our common stock.
REPORTS
We are subject to certain
reporting requirements and furnish annual financial reports to our shareholders, certified by our independent accountants, and furnish
unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by
us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.
UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During the year ended December 31,
2024, we issued the following securities that were not registered under the Securities Act:
● The Company issued the following shares of the Company’s common
stock to satisfy contingent consideration purchase price liabilities for acquisitions as follows:
○
DVO - 44,032 shares at an average price per share of $1.82.
○
UG Construction – 27,115 shares at an average price per share of $1.82.
The foregoing issuances of
restricted shares of common stock were issued under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated thereunder. The Company believes the issuance of the foregoing restricted shares was exempt from registration as a privately
negotiated, isolated, non-recurring transaction not involving a public solicitation. No commissions were paid regarding the share issuances,
and the share certificates were issued with a Rule 144 restrictive legend.

Purchase of Equity Securities by Issuer and
Affiliated Purchasers
During the year ended December 31,
2024, the Company did not repurchase common stock. The Company’s Board has authorized the Company to repurchase common stock
through a variety of methods, including open market repurchases, purchases by contract (including, without limitation, 10b5-1 and 10b-18
plans), and/or privately negotiated transactions. The amount, timing, or prices of repurchases, may vary based on market conditions and
other factors. The program does not have an expiration date and can be modified or terminated by the Board at any time. Since inception
on May 24, 2021, the Board authorized a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $10.5 million of outstanding shares of the Company’s
common stock. In total, the Company has repurchased 1,449,833 shares of common stock at an average price per share of $8.31 for a total
of $12.0 million, under this program. As of December 31, 2024, we have $1.4 million remaining under the repurchase program.
