TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights information contained in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. You should read the entire prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein carefully before making an investment in our Class A common stock. You should carefully consider, among other things, our consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10 K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the sections titled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and such reports and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our most recent Annual Report and Quarterly Reports and other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Overview
Gaia, Inc. operates a global digital video subscription service and on-line community that caters to a unique and underserved member base. Our digital content library includes over 10,000 titles, with a growing selection of titles available in Spanish, German and French. Our members have unlimited access to this vast library of inspiring films, cutting edge documentaries, interviews, yoga classes, transformation-related content and more – over 85% of which is exclusively available to our members for digital streaming on most internet-connected devices anytime, anywhere, commercial free.
Our mission is to create a transformational network that empowers a global conscious community. Content on our network is currently organized into four primary channels — Yoga, Transformation, Alternative Healing, and Seeking Truth — and delivered directly to our members through our streaming platform. We curate programming for these channels by producing content in our in-house production studios with a staff of media professionals and exclusive relationships with thought leaders in our areas of focus. Over 80% of our viewership is comprised of original produced and owned content and such content currently comprises approximately 75% of our members’ viewing time. Due to our in-house production capabilities, our average cost to produce one hour of content is $35,000, which is significantly lower than our competitors average costs to produce one hour of content, which we believe can exceed $10 million per hour. As such, we grew our gross profit on titles produced from $2.2 million in 2014 to $19.6 million in 2022. Our in-house production capabilities are also a significant driver of the increase in our gross profit per employee from $0.34 million in 2019 to $0.46 million, $0.55 million and $0.60 million in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. With our in-house production capabilities and unique, exclusive relationships with thought leaders in our areas of focus, we believe we can develop content much more efficiently than our competitors.
As of June 30, 2023, we had 774,500 active consumer members (defined as unique consumer membership accounts for which we have received all required contact information and which have not been deactivated or deleted since our inception). Further, we have members in 185 countries and approximately 35% of our members reside outside of the United States as of June 30, 2023 (which includes our third party partner member base), a figure we aim to grow to 45% in 2025 and 55% in 2028. We have increased our monthly revenue per member from $7.96/month on average in 2019 to $8.32/month, $8.57/month and $8.59/month on average in 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively. We believe we can continue to expand our member base as more and more people enter our niche categories and begin accessing streaming content over the internet while keeping our production costs steady.
Our Market Opportunity
Consumption of streaming video is expanding rapidly as more and more people augment their use of, or replace broadcast television with, streaming video to watch their favorite content on a growing array of digital streaming services. Our position in the streaming video landscape is firmly supported by our wide variety of exclusive and unique content, which provides a complementary offering to other, mostly entertainment-based, streaming video services. We believe the current size of our potential target market, or 366 million households, is comprised of the approximately 69% of global subscription video on demand (SVOD) households who are willing to pay a subscription fee and are interested in at least one topic covered in our unique programs. By offering exclusive and unique content over a streaming service, we believe we will be able to significantly expand our target member base.

Recent Developments
Preliminary Third Quarter 2023 Financial Information
Set forth below is certain preliminary financial information that has been prepared by our management and should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary financial data or the accounting treatment thereof and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. We expect to complete our interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 subsequent to the completion of this offering. While we are currently unaware of any items that would require us to make adjustments to the financial information set forth below, it is possible that we or our independent registered public accounting firm may identify such items as we complete our interim financial statements and any resulting changes could be material. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on these preliminary results. These preliminary results are not necessarily indicative of any future period and should be read together with “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” and our consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference in the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Free Cash Flow is a supplemental measure that is not calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. See “—Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of Free Cash Flow. You will not have an opportunity to review the reviewed financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 prior to making an investment decision with respect to the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby.
Our revenue is expected to be greater than $19.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $19.9 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our gross profit is expected to be greater than $17.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We returned to net cash flow generation in the three months ended June 30, 2023 with Free Cash Flow of $0.7 million as compared to Free Cash Flow of negative $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and expect our Free Cash Flow to be greater than $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our preliminary financial information presented on a GAAP basis, we use free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less interest payments, capital expenditures, and penalty payments. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to this non-GAAP financial measure in assessing our performance because it excludes certain financial and capital structure items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring operations. This non-GAAP measure should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, other financial measures and results calculated in accordance with GAAP, including operating cash flow, and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculations. As a result of the foregoing considerations, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this preliminary financial information.
A reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure is as follows:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, as well as those set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks and uncertainties. In that case, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. In addition, the risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could also be harmed by risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently do not believe are material, and these risks and uncertainties could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. In assessing the risks and uncertainties described below, you should also refer to the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto, before making a decision to invest in our Class A common stock.
Risks Related to This Offering
Our actual results may vary from our preliminary results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 included in the “Summary – Recent Developments” and the variances may be material.
This prospectus supplement contains certain preliminary unaudited financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Upon completion of our auditor’s review of the results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, it is possible significant changes to such preliminary results may be necessary. Finally, such preliminary unaudited financial results do not reflect all of our material financial information as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and we therefore caution you not to place undue reliance on them. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of factors that may cause our actual results to vary from our estimates.
Fluctuations in the price of our Class A common stock, including as a result of actual or anticipated sales of shares by us and/or our directors, officers or shareholders, may make our Class A common stock more difficult to resell.
The market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock have been, and may continue to be, subject to significant fluctuations due not only to general stock market conditions, but also to changes in sentiment in the market regarding the industry in which we operate, our operations, business prospects or liquidity, or this offering. In addition to the risk factors discussed in our periodic reports and in this prospectus supplement, the price and volume volatility of our Class A common stock may be affected by actual or anticipated sales of Class A common stock by us and/or our directors, officers or shareholders, whether in the market, in connection with business acquisitions, in this offering or in subsequent public offerings. Stock markets in general have at times experienced extreme volatility unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock, regardless of our operating results.
As a result, these fluctuations in the market price and trading volume of our Class A common stock may make it difficult to predict the market price of our Class A common stock in the future, cause the value of your investment to decline and make it more difficult to resell our Class A common stock.
We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds to us from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not increase the value of your investment.
We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds to us from this offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. You may not agree with our decisions, and our management may not apply the net proceeds to us from this offering in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. We expect to use the net proceeds to us from this offering in the manner described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this prospectus supplement. Our failure to apply these net proceeds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business or cause the price of our common stock to decline.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock.
The public offering price of our Class A common stock will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share. Therefore, if you purchase shares of Class A common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. Please refer to the section below entitled “Dilution” for more information.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or acquisitions.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any future offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into our Class A common stock, in future transactions or acquisitions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.
In addition, we may engage in one or more potential acquisitions in the future, which could involve issuing our Class A common stock as some or all of the consideration payable by us to complete such acquisitions. If we issue Class A common stock or securities linked to our Class A common stock, the newly issued securities may have a dilutive effect on the interests of the holders of our Class A common stock. Additionally, future sales of newly issued shares used to effect an acquisition could depress the market price of our Class A common stock.
Our founder, chairman and CEO, Jirka Rysavy, has voting control over us.
Mr. Rysavy holds 100% of our 5,400,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and also owns 475,061 shares of Class A common stock. The shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock at any time. Each share of Class B common stock has ten votes per share, and each share of Class A common stock has one vote per share. Consequently, Mr. Rysavy holds approximately 78% of our voting stock and is able to exert substantial influence over and control matters requiring approval by shareholders, including the election of directors, increasing our authorized capital stock, or a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. As a result of Mr. Rysavy’s control of us, no change of control can occur without Mr. Rysavy’s consent.
We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock; as a result, our shareholders may not receive any return on investment unless our shareholders sell their Class A common stock for a price greater than that which they paid for it.
We have no current plans to pay dividends on our Class A common stock. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on many factors, including our cash balances and potential future capital requirements for strategic transactions, including acquisitions, results of operations, financial condition and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the terms of our credit agreement, which contains terms restricting or limiting the amount of dividends that may be declared or paid on our Class A common stock. As a result, our shareholders may not receive any return on an investment in our Class A common stock unless they sell their Class A common stock for a price greater than that which they paid for it.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock could cause our stock price to fall.
In order to raise additional capital, we may, in the future, offer additional shares of our Class A common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Class A common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Class A common stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds to us of $   from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock offered by us in this offering (or approximately $   million if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares of our Class A common stock is exercised in full), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

DILUTION
If you invest in our Class A common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our Class A common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Class A common stock after this offering.
As of June 30, 2023, our historical net tangible book value was $4.9 million, or $0.31 per share of our Class A common stock. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per share is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023.
After giving effect to adjustments relating to the offering and assuming the sale of    shares of our Class A common stock in this offering at the public offering price of $   per share, our adjusted net tangible book value on June 30, 2023 would have been approximately $   million or $   per share. The adjustments made to determine adjusted net tangible book value per share are the following:
An increase in total assets to reflect the net proceeds of the offering after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses; and
The addition of    shares offered by this prospectus supplement to the number of shares outstanding.
The following table illustrates the increase in net tangible book value of $   per share to existing shareholders and the immediate dilution of $   per share (the difference between the public offering price per share and the adjusted net tangible book value per share) to new investors:

The information above is supplied for illustrative purposes only and will adjust based on the actual public offering price and the actual number of shares that we sell in the offering.
The number of shares of our Class A common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 15,754,425 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2023, and excludes:
224,196 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2023, at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.17 per share;
1,693,880 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of outstanding restricted stock units as of June 30, 2023;
408,597 shares of Class A common stock available for future issuance under our 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan, or the 2009 Plan, and 188,283 shares of Class A common stock available for future issuance under our 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan, or the 2019 Plan, as of June 30, 2023 and any automatic increases in the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan and the 2019 Plan; and
59,205 shares of our Class A common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2019 ESPP, as of June 30, 2023 and any automatic increases in the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the 2019 ESPP.
To the extent that outstanding stock options are exercised, outstanding restricted stock units vest and settle or additional shares of Class A common stock are issued in the future, including pursuant to additional grants under our equity incentive plans, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital because of market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe that we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. If we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to non-U.S. holders (as defined herein) with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A common stock issued or acquired pursuant to this offering. All prospective non-U.S. holders of our Class A common stock should consult their tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock. In general, a non-U.S. holder means a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock (other than a partnership or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation, or an entity treated as a corporation, created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or
a trust if (1) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.
This discussion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, existing U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, published administrative pronouncements and rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement. These authorities are subject to change and to differing interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. Any change or differing interpretation could alter the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders described in this prospectus supplement.
We assume in this discussion that a non-U.S. holder (a) holds shares of our Class A common stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment); and (b) such shares are not effectively connected with the conduct of such non-U.S. holder’s trade or business in the United States (or, if an income tax treaty applies, are not attributed to such non-U.S. holder’s U.S. permanent establishment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a particular non-U.S. holder in light of that non-U.S. holder’s individual circumstances, nor does it address any alternative minimum tax, Medicare contribution tax on investment income, estate or gift tax consequences, or any aspects of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. taxes. This discussion also does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a non-U.S. holder and does not address the special tax rules applicable to particular non-U.S. holders, such as holders that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our capital stock (except to the extent specifically set forth below), tax exempt or governmental organizations, regulated investment companies, persons who have elected to mark securities to market, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial institutions, insurance companies, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, tax-qualified retirement plans, holders who hold or receive our Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation, holders holding our Class A common stock as part of a hedge, straddle or other risk reduction strategy, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, “qualified foreign pension funds” as defined in Section 897(1)(2) of the Code and entities all of the interests of which are held by qualified foreign pension funds, persons subject to special tax accounting under Section 451(b) of the Code, holders deemed to sell our Class A common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies and certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents.
In addition, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships (or entities or arrangements that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or persons that hold their Class A common stock through partnerships. If a partnership, including any entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds shares of our Class A common stock, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Such partners and partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

There can be no assurance that a court or the IRS will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling or opinion of counsel with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a non-U.S. holder of the purchase, ownership or disposition of our Class A common stock.
Distributions on Our Class A Common Stock
Distributions, if any, on our Class A common stock generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a tax-free return of the non-U.S. holder’s investment, up to such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Class A common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such Class A common stock, subject to the tax treatment described below in “Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Class A Common Stock.” Any such distribution will also be subject to the discussion below under the heading “Foreign Accounts.”
In general, dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate of the gross amount of the dividend or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. A non-U.S. holder who claims the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty generally will be required to satisfy certain certification and other requirements. Such non-U.S. holders must generally provide us and/or our paying agent, as applicable, with a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate form) claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. If tax is withheld in an amount in excess of the amount applicable under an income tax treaty, a refund of the excess amount may generally be obtained by a non-U.S. holder by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Such certificate must be provided before the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under an applicable income tax treaty.
Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Our Class A Common Stock
Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding and foreign accounts, in general, a non-U.S. holder will not be subject to any U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon such holder’s sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of our Class A common stock unless:
the non-U.S. holder is a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and certain other conditions are met, in which case the non-U.S. holder will be subject to a 30% tax (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the net gain derived from the disposition, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder, if any (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses; or
our Class A common stock constitutes a U.S. real property interest because we are, or have been, at any time during the five-year period preceding such disposition (or the non-U.S. holder’s holding period, if shorter) a “U.S. real property holding corporation.” Generally, a corporation is a U.S. real property holding corporation only if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. Although there can be no assurance, we do not believe that we are, or have been, a U.S. real property holding corporation, or that we are likely to become one in the future. Even if we are or become a U.S. real property holding corporation, provided that our Class A common stock is regularly traded, as defined by applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, our Class A common stock will be treated as a U.S. real property interest only with respect to a non-U.S. holder that holds more than 5% of our outstanding Class A common stock, directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, during the shorter of the 5-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the period that the non-U.S. holder held our Class A common stock. If we are a U.S. real property holding corporation and either our Class A common stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market or a non-U.S. holder holds, or is treated as holding, more than 5% of our outstanding Class A common stock, directly or indirectly, during the applicable
S-11

TABLE OF CONTENTS

testing period, such non-U.S. holder will generally be taxed on any gain in the same manner as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except that the branch profits tax generally will not apply. If we are a U.S. real property holding corporation and our Class A common stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market, a non-U.S. holder’s proceeds received on the disposition of our Class A common stock will also generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 15%. Prospective investors are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a U.S. real property holding corporation. No assurance can be provided that our Class A common stock is or will in the future be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
We (or the applicable paying agent) must report annually to the IRS and to each non-U.S. holder the gross amount of the distributions on our Class A common stock paid to such holder and the tax withheld, if any, with respect to such distributions. A non-U.S. holder may have to comply with specific certification procedures to establish that the holder is not a U.S. person (as defined in the Code) in order to avoid backup withholding at the applicable rate (currently at a rate of 24%) with respect to dividends on our Class A common stock. A non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding with respect to payments of dividends on our Class A common stock if it certifies its non-U.S. status by providing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption; provided we do not have actual knowledge or reason to know such non-U.S. holder is a U.S. person, as defined in the Code. Distributions paid to non-U.S. holders subject to the U.S. withholding tax, as described above in “Distributions on Our Class A Common Stock,” generally will be exempt from U.S. backup withholding.
Information reporting and backup withholding will generally apply to the proceeds of a disposition of our Class A common stock by a non-U.S. holder effected by or through the U.S. office of any broker, U.S. or foreign, unless the holder certifies its status as a non-U.S. holder and satisfies certain other requirements, or otherwise establishes an exemption. Generally, information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to a payment of disposition proceeds to a non-U.S. holder where the transaction is effected outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, for information reporting purposes, dispositions effected through a non-U.S. office of a broker with substantial U.S. ownership or operations generally will be treated in a manner similar to dispositions effected through a U.S. office of a broker. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the information reporting and backup withholding rules to them.
Copies of information returns may be made available to the tax authorities of the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is incorporated under the provisions of a specific treaty or agreement. Any documentation provided to an applicable withholding agent may need to be updated in certain circumstances.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-U.S. holder may be allowed as a credit against the non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Foreign Accounts
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, generally imposes a U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% on dividends and, subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below, the gross proceeds of a disposition of our Class A common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined for this purpose) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied, or an exemption applies. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. The U.S. Treasury released final Treasury Regulations which eliminate the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock.
THIS SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO BE TAX ADVICE. EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAWS.

The shares sold in this offering are expected to be ready for delivery on or about    , 2023, against payment in immediately available funds. The underwriter may reject all or part of any order.
The Company has granted to the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional     shares of Class A common stock from the Company at the same price to the public, and with the same underwriting discount, as set forth in the table below. The underwriter may exercise this option at any time and from time to time during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus supplement, but only to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent the underwriter exercises the option, the underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the shares for which it exercises the option from the Company.

We also have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
Price Stabilization, Short Positions, and Penalty Bids
To facilitate this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain, or otherwise affect the price of our Class A common stock during and after the offering. Specifically, the underwriter may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in our Class A common stock for its own account by selling more shares of Class A common stock than the Company has sold to the underwriter. The underwriter may close out any short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In addition, the underwriter may stabilize or maintain the price of our Class A common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers participating in this offering are reclaimed if shares previously distributed in this offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our Class A common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of our Class A common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of our Class A common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
In connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members may also engage in passive market-making transactions in our Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market. Passive market-making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Global Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market-making may stabilize the market price of our Class A common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Class A common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Each holder of shares of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. There are no cumulative voting rights. Except as otherwise provided by law or in Gaia’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, all holders of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock vote as a single group on all matters that are submitted to the shareholders for a vote. Accordingly, holders of a majority of the votes of the shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors who stand for election. A required number of shareholders having the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take action at a meeting at which all of the shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted may consent to an action in writing and without a meeting under certain circumstances.
Shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock are entitled to equal dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Gaia, the shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets remaining after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities. Holders of shares of Class A common stock and shares of Class B common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock.

The shares of Class B common stock are convertible one-for-one into shares of Class A common stock, at the option of the holder of the shares of Class B common stock.
Our board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by Colorado law, to issue at any time up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The board may provide for the issuance of the preferred stock in one or more series or classes with designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights determined by the board without any vote or action by the shareholders, although the board may not issue voting preferred stock without the consent or approval of a majority of the Class B common stock. As a result, the board has the power to issue preferred stock with voting, conversion and other rights and preferences that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. Although we have no current plans to issue any preferred stock, the issuance of preferred stock or of rights to purchase preferred stock could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire us. Such an issuance could also dilute your voting power.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for the shares of Class A common stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions.

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including:
to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;
directly to purchasers, including our affiliates;
through agents;
through a combination of any of these methods of sale; or
through any other method permitted by applicable law and described in a prospectus supplement.
These securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; at prices related to the prevailing market prices; or at negotiated prices. We may also determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction.
The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:
the names of any participating underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them, if any;
the method of distribution;
the purchase price or public offering price of the securities;
the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities;
any delayed delivery arrangements;
any underwriting discounts, commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’, brokers’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation;
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
any other material terms of the offering.
Sales Through Underwriters or Dealers
If we use underwriters in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either though underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise set forth in any prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If we use dealers in the sale of securities, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell the securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities directly, and not through underwriters or agents. We may also sell the securities through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent by us. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best-efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include overallotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.
Electronic Auctions
We may also make sales through the internet or through other electronic means. Since we may from time to time elect to offer securities directly to the public, with or without the involvement of agents, underwriters or dealers, utilizing the internet or other forms of electronic bidding or ordering systems for the pricing and allocation of such securities, you should pay particular attention to the description of that system we will provide in a prospectus supplement.
Such electronic system may allow bidders to directly participate, through electronic access to an auction site, by submitting conditional offers to buy that are subject to acceptance by us, and which may directly affect the price or other terms and conditions at which such securities are sold. These bidding or ordering systems may present to each bidder, on a so-called “real-time” basis, relevant information to assist in making a bid, such as the clearing spread at which the offering would be sold, based on the bids submitted, and whether a bidder’s individual bids would be accepted, prorated or rejected. Of course, many pricing methods can and may also be used. Upon completion of such an electronic auction process, securities will be allocated based on prices bid, terms of bid or other factors. The final offering price at which securities would be sold and the allocation of securities among bidders would be based in whole or in part on the results of the internet or other electronic bidding process or auction.
General Information
We may have agreements with the underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, or to contribute with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make. Underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or may perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.
