PROSPECTUS

Southland Holdings, Inc.

14,385,493 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants,

45,261,227 Shares of Common Stock, and
560,502 Private Warrants

This prospectus relates to the issuance by us of up to an aggregate of 14,385,493 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), which consists of (i) 585,502 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 585,502 warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Private Warrants”) (including shares that may be issued to the holder in lieu of fractional shares) originally issued in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) in connection with our initial public offering as part of units at a price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Private Warrant; and (ii) 13,799,991 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 13,799,991 warrants to purchase Common Stock (including shares that may be issued to the holder in lieu of fractional shares) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants,” and together with the Private Warrants, the “Warrants”) originally issued in our initial public offering as part of units at a price of $10.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Public Warrant. We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of any Warrants for cash. We believe the likelihood that Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. On March 28, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.15 per share. To the extent the market price of our Common Stock remains below the exercise price of $11.50 per share, we believe that Warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants for cash, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us for any such exercise. To the extent we receive any cash proceeds, we expect to use such proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, which would increase our liquidity.

In addition, this prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders (including their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees) named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (a) 45,261,227 shares of Common Stock, consisting of up to (i) 36,618,859 shares of Common Stock issued to the former securityholders (the “Southland Members”) of Southland Holdings LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Southland LLC”) pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined herein); (ii) 6,542,694 shares of Common Stock originally issued to stockholders prior to our initial public offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) for approximately $0.005 per share (868,076 shares of which were transferred at no cost to certain stockholders, including a portion to certain Southland Members, in connection with the Business Combination (as defined herein)), and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iii) 146,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued to EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) (and its designees) for approximately $0.0001 per share and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iv) 757,736 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders and EBC in the Private Placement as part of units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Private Warrant; (v) 560,502 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Initial Stockholders and EBC (or their transferees) upon the exercise of the Private Warrants; and (vi) 635,436 shares of Common Stock held by one of our directors that were acquired in open market purchases at a weighted average price of $10.3040 per share; and (b) 560,502 Private Warrants.

The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders represent approximately 71% of shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (which includes in the denominator, shares outstanding, shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants and shares reserved for issuance under equity incentive plans) as of March 28, 2024. Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock being registered for potential resale by Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, the sale of shares by the Selling Securityholders, or the perception in the market that the Selling Securityholders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, the trading price of our securities could decline. In addition, some of our Selling Securityholders acquired the securities being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus at prices significantly lower than the per unit purchase price paid by public stockholders in our initial public offering of $10.00 per unit. As a result, despite the decline in the public trading price since our initial public offering, some of the Selling Securityholders may still experience a positive return on investment and may have an incentive to sell shares of our Common Stock.

We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, NYSE American, LLC listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the securities.

We are registering certain of the shares of Common Stock for resale pursuant to certain Selling Securityholders’ registration rights under agreements between us and certain Selling Securityholders. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the shares of Common Stock. The Selling Securityholders or their permitted transferees may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of their shares of Common Stock publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the Common Stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution.”

You should carefully read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or amendment, as well as the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before you invest in our securities.

Our Common Stock and our Warrants are listed on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE”) under the symbols “SLND” and “SLND WS” respectively. On March 28, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.15 and the closing price for our Warrants was $0.4428.

We are an “emerging growth company” under federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risks. See the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this prospectus and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is April 8, 2024.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference, include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements are based on the reasonable beliefs and assumptions of our management. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “intends” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the ability of the Company to:

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and speak only as of the date hereof. While we believe that these forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus or in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in documents incorporated by reference, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this prospectus:

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. The risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive. Other sections of this prospectus describe additional factors that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business, nor the extent to which any factor or combination of facts may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

In addition, statements of belief and similar statements reflect the reasonable beliefs and opinions of Southland on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us, as applicable, as of the date of this prospectus, and while such party believes such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, involve risks and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our company involves a high degree of risk. Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, in addition to the risks and uncertainty discussed above under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should consider carefully the risks described in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties discussed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information.” Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In any such case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business operations.

Except as set forth below and as may be disclosed in any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed after the date of this prospectus, there have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Sales of our Common Stock, or the perception of sales of our Common Stock, by the Company or our stockholders in the public market, including pursuant to this prospectus, could cause the market price of our securities to decline, and certain of the Selling Securityholders may still experience a significant return on investment.

If we or our stockholders sell or indicate an intention to sell substantial amounts of our securities in the public market, including through sales pursuant to his prospectus, the trading price of our securities could decline. In addition, shares underlying any outstanding options and restricted stock units will become eligible for sale if exercised or settled, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the provisions of various vesting agreements and Rule 144 of the Securities Act. All the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under our equity incentive plan are registered on Form S-8 under the Securities Act and, upon issuance, are eligible for sale in the public markets, subject to Rule 144 limitations applicable to affiliates. If these shares are sold, or if it is perceived that they will be sold, in the public market, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline.

The Initial Stockholders and Southland Members are not subject to contractual restrictions regarding the transfer of their shares of Common Stock. The market price of our Common Stock could decline if the holders of sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The shares of Common Stock being offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders represent approximately 71% of shares outstanding on a fully-diluted basis (which includes in the denominator, shares outstanding, shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants and shares reserved for issuance under equity incentive plans) as of March 28, 2024. Given the substantial number of shares of Common Stock being registered for potential resale by Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, the sale of shares by the Selling Securityholders, or the perception in the market that the Selling Securityholders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, the trading price of our securities could decline.

In addition, some of our Selling Securityholders acquired the securities being registered for resale pursuant to this prospectus at prices significantly lower than the per unit purchase price paid by public stockholders in our initial public offering of $10.00 per unit. As a result, despite the decline in the public trading price since our initial public offering, some of the Selling Securityholders may still experience a positive return on investment and may have an incentive to sell shares of our Common Stock. For example, the Initial Stockholders purchased 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock prior to our initial public offering at $0.005 per share and subsequently acquired 1,150,000 additional shares for no additional consideration as a result of a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding. In addition, EBC acquired 200,000 shares of Common Stock at $0.0001 per share and subsequently acquired 40,000 additional shares for no additional consideration as a result of a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding. By way of example only, if all 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders were sold at a price of $5.15 per share, which was the closing price of our Common Stock as reported on NYSE on March 28, 2024, the Initial Stockholders would experience a gain equal to $5.15per share. Investors in our initial public offering who acquired shares of Common Stock in connection with the purchase of units at $10.00 per unit would not be expected to experience a similar return on investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the Common Stock and Private Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $165.4 million from the exercise of the Warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the Warrants for cash. We believe the likelihood that Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. On March 28, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.15per share. To the extent the market price of our Common Stock remains below the exercise price of $11.50 per share, we believe that Warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants for cash, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us for any such exercise.

Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, we intend to use any net proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or other strategic investments or repayment of outstanding indebtedness. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for cash. There is no assurance that the holders of the Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such Warrants for cash.

The Selling Securityholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the securities. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders (including their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees) of up to (a) 45,261,227 shares of Common Stock, consisting of up to (i) 36,618,859 shares of Common Stock issued to the Southland Members pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) 6,542,694 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders for approximately $0.005 per share (868,076 shares of which were transferred at no cost to certain stockholders, including a portion to certain Southland Members, in connection with the Business Combination), and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iii) 146,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued to EBC (and its designees) for approximately $0.0001 per share and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iv) 757,736 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders and EBC in the Private Placement as part of units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Private Warrant; (v) 560,502 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Initial Stockholders and EBC (or their transferees) upon the exercise of the Private Warrants; and (vi) 635,436 shares of Common Stock held by one of our directors that were acquired in open market purchases at a weighted average price of $10.3040 per share; and (b) 560,502 Private Warrants. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we refer to the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees that hold any of the Selling Securityholders’ interest in the shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants after the date of this prospectus.

The following table sets forth information provided by or on behalf of each Selling Securityholder or otherwise reasonably available to the Company as of March 28, 2024, regarding (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants) and Private Warrants beneficially owned prior to the offering; (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants or in accordance with the Merger Agreement) and Private Warrants that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Securityholder pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement; and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants) and Private Warrants, and percentage ownership of, each Selling Securityholder, after the sale of securities offered hereby. The beneficial ownership percentages following the offering are based on 48,012,560 shares of Common Stock and 14,385,493 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, in each case issued and outstanding as of March 28, 2024, and have assumed that each Selling Securityholder will sell all shares of Common Stock and Private Warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus. In calculating percentages of shares of Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Securityholder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of that particular Selling Securityholder’s Warrants (if any) and upon the vesting of any outstanding restricted stock units held by such Selling Securityholder, and we did not assume the exercise or vesting of any other Selling Securityholder’s Warrants or outstanding restricted stock units.

The Selling Securityholders listed in the table below may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of Common Stock. Any changed or new information given to us by the Selling Securityholders, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, each Selling Securityholder, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.

Our registration of the shares of Common Stock does not necessarily mean that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or any of such shares. The following table sets forth certain information provided by or on behalf of the Selling Securityholders concerning the Common Stock that may be offered from time to time by each Selling Securityholder with this prospectus and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Securityholders both before and after the offering of the securities covered by this prospectus, assuming the sale of all securities covered by this prospectus. A Selling Securityholder may sell all, some or none of such securities in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each person listed in the table below is c/o Southland Holdings, Inc., 1100 Kubota Drive, Grapevine, Texas 76051.

Selling Stockholder information for each additional Selling Stockholder, if any, will be set forth by prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Stockholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. To the extent permitted by law, a prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Stockholder and the number of shares of common stock or warrants registered on its behalf. A Selling Stockholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares of common stock or warrants in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. We urge to you read the applicable provisions of Delaware law and each of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, carefully and in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

Authorized Capital Stock

The Charter authorizes the issuance of 550,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock (“Preferred Shares”), par value $0.0001 per share.

Common Stock

The Charter provides that the Company has one class of common stock, Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 28, 2024, there were 48,012,560 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Preferred Stock

The Charter provides that Preferred Shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors of the Company is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The Company board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the board of directors of the Company to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or the removal of existing management. We have no Preferred Shares outstanding at the date hereof.

Warrants

As of March 28, 2024, there were 14,385,493 Warrants outstanding, consisting of 13,799,991 Public Warrants and 585,502 Private Warrants.

Each whole Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, except as described below. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a Warrant holder may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock. This means that only a whole Warrant may be exercised at any given time by a Warrant holder. The Warrants will expire on February 14, 2028 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

No Public Warrants are exercisable for cash unless the Company has an effective and current registration statement covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to such Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period when the Company shall have failed to maintain an effective registration statement covering the issuance of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants, exercise Public Warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Public Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Public Warrants and the fair market value (as defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” for this purpose shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date of exercise.

Outstanding Warrants are exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Warrants. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by a majority of the then outstanding Warrants.

Redemption of Warrants

The Company may redeem the outstanding Warrants:

The Company does not intend to take any steps to notify holders of Warrants that such Warrants have become eligible for redemption except if it actually seeks to redeem the Warrants. In order to redeem the Warrants, the Company must provide 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each Warrant holder and have a current registration statement in effect with respect to the Common Stock underlying such Warrants. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption, each Warrant holder can exercise his, her or its Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date in accordance with the above. However, the price of the Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 trigger price (as adjusted) as well as the $11.50 Warrant exercise price (as adjusted) after the redemption notice is issued.

If the Company calls the Warrants for redemption as described above, the Company’s management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis.” In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the Warrants for that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the Warrants and the fair market value by (y) the fair market value, as described above.

Exercise Limitations

A holder of a Warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-Dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in Common Stock, or by a split-up of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of the Common Stock.

In addition, if the Company, at any time while the Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pays a dividend or makes a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other shares of our capital stock into which the Warrants are convertible), then the Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such event; provided, however, that the following would trigger an such an adjustment: (a) the anti-dilution adjustments described above with respect to stock dividends, split-ups and similar events; or (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 per share (taking into account all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time (whether or not any shareholders waived their right to receive such dividend) and as adjusted to appropriately to reflect any of the events referred to herein and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50.

If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock split or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive Common Stock. After the issuance of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each Common Stock held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrant holder.

Dividends

Under the Charter, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as may be declared from time-to-time by the Company board out of legally available assets or funds. There are no current plans to pay cash dividends on Common Stock for the foreseeable future.

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the Charter, the holders of Common Stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Subject to certain limited exceptions, the holders of Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock under the Charter.

Preemptive or Other Rights

The Charter does not provide for any preemptive or other similar rights.

Election of Directors

The Company’s board currently consists of seven directors. The Charter provides that the board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a three-year term. As a result, approximately one-third of the board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Company’s board of directors.

Under the Charter, directors are elected by a plurality voting standard, whereby each of our stockholders may not give more than one vote per share towards any one director nominee.

Annual Stockholder Meetings

The Charter provides that annual stockholder meetings will be held at a date, time and place, if any, as exclusively selected by the Company’s board of directors. To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Company may conduct meetings by means of remote communication.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (DGCL), any of the Company’s stockholders may bring an action in the Company’s name to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of the Company’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Conflicts of Interest; Corporate Opportunity

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. The Charter provides that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Company or any of its officers or directors, or any of their respective affiliates, in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have as of the date of the Charter or in the future, and further provides that the Company will renounce any expectancy that any of the directors or officers of the Company will offer any such corporate opportunity of which he or she may become aware to the Company, except, the doctrine of corporate opportunity shall apply with respect to any of the directors or officers of the Company.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Limitation of Liability; Indemnification

The Charter provides that to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, no director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Bylaws also provide that the Company will indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person. The Company entered into indemnification agreements with the directors and officers of the Company’s substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Insurance Coverage

The Bylaws will provide that the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise, or nonprofit entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, each of the Company and Southland LLC purchased a tail policy with respect to liability coverage for the benefit of their prior officers and directors for a period of six years following the Closing.

These provisions may discourage current shareholders and future stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders and stockholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s or stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

The Company believes that these provisions, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Charter and Bylaws

The Company’s Charter and Bylaws contain, and the DGCL contains, provisions as summarized in the following paragraphs that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company’s board of directors. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce the Company’s vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the Company’s board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.

Classified Board of Directors

The Charter provides that the Company’s board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a three-year term. As a result, approximately one-third of the Company’s board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Company’s board of directors.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

The authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of NYSE. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Forum Selection Clause

The Charter provides that unless the Company consents in in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (a) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting any internal corporate claims (as defined below), to the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have, or declines to accept, jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware); and (b) the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the federal district courts of the U.S.; however, this provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. For purposes of this provision, “internal corporate claims” means claims, including claims in the right of the Company that are based upon a violation of a duty by a current or former director, officer, employee or stockholder in such capacity, or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction upon the Court of Chancery.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

The Bylaws state that in order for a stockholder of the Company to propose nominations of candidates to be elected as directors or any other proper business to be considered by stockholders at the annual meeting, such stockholder must, among other things, provide notice thereof in writing to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting (provided however that if the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held the preceding year, notice must be delivered no earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the date on which public announcement of such meeting is first made by the Company. Such notice must contain, among other things, certain information about the stockholder giving the notice (and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made) and certain information about any nominee or other proposed business.

Listing of Securities

Our Common Stock and Warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “SLND” and “SLND WS,” respectively.

SECURITIES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

As of March 28, 2024, we had 48,012,560 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and 14,385,493 Warrants outstanding. Certain of our stockholders may be considered affiliates, which can impose some limitations on their resale of our securities. Any resales of restricted securities (as defined in Rule 144) will be subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including the provisions of Rule 144 discussed below.

We cannot predict what effect, if any, sales of shares of our Common Stock or Warrants from time to time or the availability of shares of our Common Stock and Warrants for future sale may have on the market price of our securities. Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock or Warrants, including pursuant to the offering covered by this prospectus, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our securities and could impair our future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities or otherwise. See the section titled “Risk Factors.”

Rule 144; Restrictions on Former Shell Companies

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or Warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (1) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of us at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (2) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale. A non-affiliate can also include the holding period of any prior owner who was not an affiliate of ours.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock or Warrants for at least six months but who are affiliates of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three (3)-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination-related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

Following the Closing on February 14, 2023, we were no longer a shell company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus relates to the issuance by us of up to an aggregate of 14,385,493 shares of Common Stock, which consists of (i) 585,502 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 585,502 Private Warrants (including shares that may be issued to the holder in lieu of fractional shares); and (ii) 13,799,991 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 13,799,991 Public Warrants (including shares that may be issued to the holder in lieu of fractional shares).

In addition, this prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders (including their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and other permitted transferees) of up to (a) 45,261,227 shares of Common Stock, consisting of up to (i) 36,618,859 shares of Common Stock issued to the Southland Members pursuant to the Merger Agreement; (ii) 6,542,694 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders for approximately $0.005 per share (868,076 shares of which were transferred at no cost to certain stockholders, including a portion to certain Southland Members, in connection with the Business Combination), and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iii) 146,000 shares of Common Stock originally issued to EBC (and its designees) for approximately $0.0001 per share and pursuant to a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each share outstanding; (iv) 757,736 shares of Common Stock originally issued to the Initial Stockholders and EBC in the Private Placement as part of units at a price of $10.00 per unit, which each unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half of one Private Warrant; (v) 560,502 shares of Common Stock issuable to the Initial Stockholders and EBC (or their transferees) upon the exercise of the Private Warrants; and (vi) 635,436 shares of Common Stock held by one of our directors that were acquired in open market purchases at a weighted average price of $10.3040 per share; and (b) 560,502 Private Warrants

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock or Private Warrants by the Selling Securityholders. We will receive proceeds from Warrants exercised in the event that such Warrants are exercised for cash. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Securityholders will be the purchase price of the Common Stock or Private Warrants less any discounts and commissions borne by the Selling Securityholders. We believe the likelihood that Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. On March 28, 2024, the closing price of our Common Stock was $5.15 per share. To the extent the market price of our Common Stock remains below the exercise price of $11.50 per share, we believe that Warrant holders will be unlikely to exercise their Warrants for cash, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us for any such exercise. To the extent we receive any cash proceeds, we expect to use such proceeds for general corporate purposes, which would increase our liquidity. See “Use of Proceeds.”

The shares of Common Stock and Private Warrants beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders. The term “Selling Securityholders” includes any donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor in interest selling securities received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. Each Selling Securityholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of any sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Selling Securityholders may sell their shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

In addition, a Selling Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the securities acquired in the distribution.

In addition, any securities that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. See “Securities Eligible for Future Sale.”

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants in the course of hedging transactions, and broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling Securityholders. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants short and redeliver the securities to close out such short positions. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Securityholders may also pledge shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution may effect sales of the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A Selling Securityholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Selling Securityholder or borrowed from any Selling Securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of shares of Common Stock or Private Warrants, and may use securities received from any Selling Securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Selling Securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.

In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Selling Securityholders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The Selling Securityholders are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities offered in this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and their affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities for the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. The restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for the securities. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Under an amended and restated registration rights agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders party thereto against certain liabilities that they may incur in connection with the sale of the securities registered hereunder, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments that the Selling Securityholders may be required to make with respect thereto. In addition, we and the Selling Securityholders have agreed to indemnify any underwriter against certain liabilities related to the selling of the securities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. We have agreed to maintain the effectiveness of this registration statement until all such securities have been sold under this registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or are no longer outstanding.

At the time a particular offer of shares of Common Stock or Warrants is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

A holder of Warrants may exercise its Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the warrant agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC, the certificate evidencing such Warrant, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of the Warrant, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.
