We are offering in a best-efforts offering up to 1,677,852 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, together with Class B warrants to purchase up to 1,677,852 shares of common stock (the “Class B Warrants”) and Class C warrants to purchase up to 1,677,852 shares of common stock (the “Class C Warrants” and together with the Class B warrants, the “Class B and C Warrants”) at a combined public offering price of $ per share and Class B and C Warrants pursuant to this prospectus. The common stock, Class B Warrants and Class C Warrants will be sold in a fixed combination, with each share of common stock accompanied by one Class B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Class C Warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The shares of common stock and Class B and C Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this offering, but must be purchased together in this offering. Each Class B warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire on November , 2027. Each Class C warrant will have an exercise price of $ per share, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire on December , 2023. The public offering price for each share of common stock and accompanying Class B and C Warrants of $ is based upon the closing price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on , 2022. The public offering price per share of common stock and any pre-funded warrant will be determined at the time of pricing, and may be at a discount to the then current market price. The recent market price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The final public offering price will be a fixed price determined through negotiation between us and investors based upon a number of factors, including our history and our prospects, the industry in which we operate, our past and present operating results, the previous experience of our executive officers and the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering.
We are also offering to certain purchasers whose purchase of shares of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if any such purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants, in lieu of shares of common stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant will be equal to the price at which a share of common stock is sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will be $0.0001 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. For each pre-funded warrant we sell, the number of shares of common stock we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance.
There is no minimum number of securities or minimum aggregate amount of proceeds for this offering to close. The offering of the securities will terminate on the date that we enter into securities purchase agreements to sell the securities offered hereby.
In connection with our initial public offering, we sold shares of our common stock and publicly traded warrants (the “Class A Warrants”). Our common stock and Class A Warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “DBGI” and “DBGIW”, respectively. On November 25, 2022, the closing price of our common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $5.96 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Class B and C Warrants, pre-funded warrants and the placement agent’s warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of these warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to list the Class B and C Warrants, pre- funded warrants or the placement agent’s warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other trading system.
