EXPLANATORY NOTE—DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

 

This post-effective amendment relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-212591), originally filed by Net Element, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 20, 2016 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), registering 2,794,674 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) for resale, from time to time, by the selling securityholder named in the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the Commission on August 30, 2016.

 

Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the total number of shares of common stock that may be issued under Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Registration Statement), will be limited to 2,362,724 shares of Common Stock, which equals 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of the Purchase Agreement, unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99%. 2,362,724 shares of Common Stock have been issued under Purchase Agreement, and stockholder approval has not been obtained to issue more than such 19.99%. Accordingly, the Company has no further obligation to maintain effectiveness of the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any securities which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this post-effective amendment is being filed to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to remove from registration all securities registered but not sold under the Registration Statement. As a result of this deregistration, no securities remain registered for resale pursuant to the Registration Statement.
