No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of the Shares in this offering. The Selling Stockholders may, individually but not severally, be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Shares that they are offering pursuant to this prospectus. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Shares. The Selling Stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their respective sales of the Shares.

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ATER”. On May 24, 2021, the last reported sales price per share of our common stock was $16.40. Our Common Stock has recently experienced price volatility. For example, from January 4, 2021 to May 24, 2021, sales of our Common Stock were effected at prices as low as $11.81 and as high as $48.99. The high sales price of $48.99 occurred on February 17, 2021, on which day the last reported sales price for our Common Stock was $47.66. We have not experienced any material changes in our financial condition or results of operations that explain such price volatility. 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 under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7 of this prospectus.

We are an “emerging growth company” as that term is used in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time by filing amendments or supplements as required.

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or our future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “could,” “intends,” “target,” “projects,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements about:

We caution you that the foregoing list may not contain all the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus or in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends

that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results and experience to differ from those projected, including, but not limited to, the risk factors set forth in Part I – Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on March  16, 2021, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March  31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on May 11, 2021, as updated by our subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, and elsewhere in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and challenging environment.

We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to these estimates.

Certain information in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein is derived from independent industry publications and publicly available reports. We believe the data contained in these reports to be reliable as of the date of this prospectus, but there can be no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. We have not independently verified the market and industry data obtained from these third-party sources.

We own the trademarks, service marks and trade names that we use in connection with the operation of our business, including our corporate names, logos and website names. This prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein may also contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this prospectus are listed without the TM, SM, ^© and ^® symbols, but we will assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or the rights of the applicable licensors, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below, under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, or in any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the Common Stock being offered in this prospectus. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

Our share price may be volatile. Market volatility may affect the value of an investment in our common stock and could subject us to litigation.

Technology stocks have historically experienced high levels of volatility. There has been and could continue to be significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of equity securities. For example, our closing stock price ranged from $12.44 to $47.66 per share from January 4, 2021 to May 24, 2021.The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

Furthermore, in recent years, 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, and technology companies in particular. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our common stock. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could also harm our business.

In addition, we recently experienced volatility in the market price of our common stock in connection with a report issued on May 4, 2021 by Culper Research, a self-proclaimed short seller. While we believe the report by Culper Research contains numerous false and misleading statements about our Company, and that it contains mischaracterizations and factual inaccuracies regarding our Company, our stock price has and may continue to experience volatility due to this report or similar reports issued in an attempt to negatively impact and manipulate our stock price for the benefit of short sellers or others.

A “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand for shares of our common stock that largely exceeds supply could lead to extreme price volatility in shares of our common stock.

Investors may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase on the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase shares of our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until additional shares of our common stock are available for trading or borrowing. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A proportion of our common stock has been and may continue to be traded by short sellers which may increase the likelihood that our common stock will be the target of a short squeeze. A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in shares of our common stock that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance or prospects and, once investors purchase the shares of our common stock necessary to cover their short positions, the price of our common stock may rapidly decline. Investors that purchase shares of our common stock during a short squeeze may lose a significant portion or all of their investment.

USEOF PROCEEDS

We will receive no proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Stockholders. We may, however, receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant or the April Warrants to the extent that any of such Warrants are exercised for cash. The exercise price of the February Warrant is $25.10. The exercise price of the Additional Warrant is $33.56 per share. The exercise price of the April Warrants is $31.74. The exercise price of the Penny Warrant is $0.01 and it is only exercisable on a cashless basis, and we therefore will not receive any proceeds from any exercise of the Penny Warrant. The exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances, including stock splits, dividends or distributions, or other similar transactions. However, the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant and the April Warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allow the holders to exercise any of such Warrants without making a cash payment to us if there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. There can be no assurance that any of the Warrants will be exercised by the Selling Stockholders at all. To the extent we receive proceeds from the cash exercise of the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant or any of the April Warrants, we intend to use such proceeds to provide capital support or for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures, supporting asset growth and acquiring, investing in or licensing complementary products, technologies or businesses. We do not have any specific plans for acquisitions or other business combinations at this time. Our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds from any exercise of the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant or the April Warrants for cash.

The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions or transfer taxes incurred in disposing of the Shares and the expenses of any attorney or other advisor they decide to employ. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the Shares covered by this prospectus. These may include, without limitation, all registration, filing, stock exchange fees, printing expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with applicable securities laws and the fees and disbursements of our counsel and of our independent accountants and reasonable fees.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this prospectus, “Selling Stockholders” includes the selling stockholders listed below and donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge or other non-sale related transfer.

We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Selling Stockholders or their successors, assignees or other permitted transferees to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 12,785,537 shares of our Common Stock. The 12,785,537 shares of Common Stock to be offered hereby consist of: (i) 7,422,307 shares of Common Stock previously issued to certain of the Selling Stockholders, and (ii) up to 5,363,230 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Pursuant to the terms of the December APA, we issued an aggregate of 4,220,000 shares of Common Stock to 9380 and Northbound Train Enterprises, LLC (pursuant to the instruction of 9830 in satisfaction of certain broker fees payable to Northbound Train Enterprises, LLC). Pursuant to the terms of the February APA, we issued an aggregate of 1,387,759 shares of Common Stock to Healing Solutions, LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the December Warrant, we issued 980,000 shares of Common Stock to HT SA on February 9, 2021 pursuant to HT SA’s exercise thereof. Pursuant to the terms of the April Letter Agreement, we issued 130,000 shares of Common Stock to HT SA on April 8, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, we issued an aggregate of 704,548 shares of Common Stock to the PPD Sellers.

The February Warrant will become exercisable on August 2, 2021, has a term of five years from the date of issuance and has an exercise price of $25.10 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. The Penny Warrant was exercisable upon issuance, has a term of five years from the date of issuance, has an exercise price of $0.01 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions, and is exercisable on a cashless basis. The Additional Warrant was exercisable upon issuance, has a term of five years from the date of issuance and has an exercise price of $33.56 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. The April Warrants were exercisable upon issuance, have a term of five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $31.74 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Stockholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 9.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised.

The Shares were issued or will be issuable to the Selling Stockholders in reliance on the exemption from securities registration in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder or Regulation S, to the extent applicable.

The shares of Common Stock to be offered by the Selling Stockholders are “restricted” securities under applicable federal and state securities laws and are being registered under the Securities Act to give the Selling Stockholders the opportunity to sell these shares publicly. The registration of these shares does not require that any of the shares be offered or sold by the Selling Stockholders. Subject to these resale restrictions, the Selling Stockholders may from time to time offer and sell all or a portion of their shares indicated below in privately negotiated transactions or on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other market on which our common stock may subsequently be listed.

The registered shares may be sold directly or through brokers or dealers, or in a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best effort basis. To the extent required, the names of any agent or broker-dealer and applicable commissions or discounts and any other required information with respect to any particular

offering will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution”. The Selling Stockholders and any agents or broker-dealers that participate with the Selling Stockholders in the distribution of registered shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the registered shares may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

No estimate can be given as to the amount or percentage of Common Stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after any sales made pursuant to this prospectus because the Selling Stockholders are not required to sell any of the Shares being registered under this prospectus. The following table assumes that the Selling Stockholders will sell all of the Shares listed in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise indicated in Part II, Item 16the footnotes below, no Selling Stockholder has had any material relationship with us or any of our affiliates within the past three years other than as a security holder.

We have prepared this table based on written representations and information furnished to us by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders. Since the date on which the Selling Stockholders provided this information, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of the shares of common stock in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes below, we believe that: (1) none of the Selling Stockholders are broker-dealers or affiliates of broker-dealers, (2) no Selling Stockholder has direct or indirect agreements or understandings with any person to distribute their Shares, and (3) the Selling Stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Shares beneficially owned, subject to applicable community property laws. To the extent any Selling Stockholder identified below is, or is affiliated with, a broker-dealer, it could be deemed, individually but not severally, to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Information about the Selling Stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus, if required.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock held, as of May 20, 2021, by the Selling Stockholders and the number of Shares being registered hereby and information with respect to shares to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders after completion of the offering of the shares for resale. We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the persons named below The percentages in the following table reflect the shares beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders as a percentage of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of May 20, 2021. As of such date, 31,433,886 shares of common stock were outstanding.

PLANOF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants previously issued to the Selling Stockholders to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the Shares and the Warrants from time to time after the date of this Amendment No. 1. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 consists onlyprospectus. We will not receive any of the facing page, this explanatory note, an updated Part IIproceeds from the sale by the Selling Stockholders of the Registration Statement,shares of Common Stock. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the signature pageshares of Common Stock.

The Selling Stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the Selling Stockholders will be responsible for underwriting fees, discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve cross or block transactions:

If the Selling Stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers,

which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume.

The Selling Stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. The Selling Stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock or the Warrants owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this Amendment No. 1prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Stockholders under this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders, individually and not severally, and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the Common Stock offered will be the purchase price of the Common Stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Common Stock to be made directly or through agents. There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

Dividend Rights

Dividends may be declared and paid on our Common Stock if, as and when determined by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend or other rights of any then outstanding preferred stock and to the requirements of applicable law. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Notes, we are prohibited from paying any dividends without the prior written consent of HT SA or HT ON.

Voting Rights

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

Our Certificate of Incorporation establishes a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only the directors in one class will be subject to election at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws also provide that our directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon. In addition, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds in voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon is required to amend or repeal, or to adopt any provision inconsistent with, several of the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Fully Paid and Non-Assessable

All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are, and the shares of our common stock to be issued pursuant to this prospectus will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock in one or more series, to determine and fix from time to time the number of shares to be included in such series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences and other rights, qualifications and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences of such series, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders.

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. We have no current plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Warrants

As of May 20, 2021, in addition to the Warrants, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 277,335 shares of our common stock with a weighted-average exercise price of $15.01 were outstanding. All of our outstanding warrants contain provisions for the adjustment of the exercise price in the event of stock dividends, stock splits or similar transactions. In addition, certain of the warrants contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders thereof to exercise the warrants without a cash payment to us under certain circumstances.

The February Warrant has an initial exercise price of $25.10, will be exercisable beginning on August 2, 2021 and has an expiration date of February 2, 2026. The Penny Warrant has an initial exercise price of $0.01, has an expiration date of February 9, 2026 and is exercisable only on a cashless basis. The Additional Warrant has an initial exercise price of $33.56 and has an expiration date of February 9, 2026. The April Warrants have an initial exercise price of $31.74 and have an expiration date of April 8, 2026.

The exercise price of each of the Warrants and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants will also be subject to adjustment in connection with stock splits, dividends or distributions or other similar transactions. The February Warrant, the Additional Warrant and the April Warrants also contain a “cashless exercise” feature that allows the holders to exercise such warrants without making a cash payment in the event that there is no effective registration statement registering the February Warrant Shares, the Additional Warrant Shares or the April Warrant Shares, as applicable.

The February Warrant, the Additional Warrant and the April Warrants each include a provision that gives us the right to require the holder to exercise the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant or the April Warrants if the price of our Common Stock exceeds 200% of the exercise price of the February Warrant, the Additional Warrant or the April Warrants, respectively, for 20 consecutive trading days and certain other conditions are satisfied.

The February Warrant, the Penny Warrant, the Additional Warrant and the April Warrants each provide that in no event will the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the February Warrant, the Penny Warrant, the Additional Warrant or the April Warrants result in the HT ON’s or HT SA’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% or 9.99% of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of conversion or exercise, as applicable (which percentage may be decreased or increased by HT ON or HT SA, respectively, but to no greater than 9.99%, and provided that any increase will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after notice of such request by the warrant holder to increase its beneficial ownership limit has been delivered to us).

Convertible Promissory Notes

As of May 20, 2021, the Notes were outstanding with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $110.0 million. The Notes are a senior secured obligation of ours and rank senior to all of our indebtedness. The Notes do not have any amortization payments.

We may redeem all (but not less than all) of each Note at a price of 110% of the then-outstanding principal amount if the Note is redeemed prior to April 8, 2022, 108% of the then-outstanding principal amount if the Note is redeemed on or after April 8, 2022 but prior to April 8, 2023 and 104% of the then-outstanding principal amount if the Note is redeemed on or after April 8, 2023.

Subject to certain exceptions, upon the completion of any equity financing, HT SA and HT ON may elect to require us to redeem (at par) a principal amount of the Notes. If HT SA and HT ON require us to redeem the Notes upon the completion of an equity financing, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that we will redeem will be equal to no less than the greater of (i) 20% of the net proceeds of such equity financing, excluding net proceeds that will be used to make acquisitions, if any, and (ii) 5% of the net proceeds of such equity financing, in each case with an aggregate cap under all of the Notes of $5.5 million per financing.

If an event of default under the Notes occurs, HT SA and HT ON can elect to redeem the Notes for cash equal to 115% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, which accrues at a rate per annum equal to 15% from the date of a default or event of default (the “Event of Default Acceleration Amount”). If we fail to pay the Event of Default Acceleration Amount in cash, then HT SA and HT ON may elect to redeem the Notes and receive the unpaid portion of the Event of Default Acceleration Amount entirely or partially in shares of Common Stock. The price for any shares issued to pay such Event of Default Acceleration Amount will be equal to 80% of the lesser of (i) the daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the date HT SA or HT ON deliver notice of its election to redeem the Notes for shares of Common Stock (the “Event of Default Stock Payment Date”), and (ii) the average of the lowest two daily VWAPs during the ten trading day period ending on such Event of Default Stock Payment Date. HT SA and HT ON also have the option of requiring us to redeem the Notes if we undergo a fundamental change for 105% of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Until the later of (i) October 8, 2022, and (ii) the date the Notes are fully repaid, HT SA and HT ON will, subject to certain exceptions, have the right to participate for up to 40% of any debt, preferred stock or equity-linked

financing of us or our subsidiaries and up to 10% of any Common Stock equity financing by us or any of our subsidiaries.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain provisions of Delaware law, along with our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws, all of which are summarized below, may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of our company. These provisions are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. However, these provisions could have the effect of delaying, discouraging or preventing attempts to acquire us, which could deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Delaware Law

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.

Choice of Forum

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (2) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, creditors or other constituents; (3) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; (4) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or (5) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The provision would not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to this choice of forum provision.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes relating to the control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 2320 Haverford Road, Suite 230, Ardmore, PA 19003.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

The following table sets forth all expenses to be paid by Mohawk Group Holdings,Aterian, Inc. (the “Registrant”) in connection with the sale of the common stock being registered. The security holders will not bear any portion of such expenses. All amounts shown are estimates except for the registration fee.

Section 102 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) permits a corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase or redemption in violation of the DGCL or derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such action, suit or proceeding or with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

The Registrant’s second amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at its request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, judgments, fines (including, without
