EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 29, 2022, Bright Green Corporation (the “Company”) filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263918) (the “Original Registration Statement”). The Original Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 13, 2022.

This registration statement on Form S-3 constitutes a post-effective amendment to the Original Registration Statement. We are filing this post-effective amendment on Form S-3 for the purpose of converting the Original Registration Statement on Form S-1 into a registration statement on Form S-3 because we are now eligible to use Form S-3. This registration statement on Form S-3 contains an updated prospectus related to the offering and sale of the shares that were registered on the Original Registration Statement.

All filing fees payable in connection with the registration of the shares registered by the Registration Statement on Form S-1 were paid by the registrant at the time of the initial filing of such registration statements. No additional securities are registered hereby.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities, and we are not soliciting offers to buy these securities, in any state or other jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED June 30, 2023

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Up to 158,249,000 Shares of Common Stock

Bright Green Corporation

This prospectus relates to the registration of the resale of up to 158,249,000 shares of our common stock by our stockholders identified in this prospectus (the “Registered Stockholders”). Unlike an initial public offering, the resale by the Registered Stockholders is not being underwritten on a firm-commitment basis by any investment bank. The Registered Stockholders may, or may not, elect to sell their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus, as and to the extent they may determine. If the Registered Stockholders utilize a broker-dealer in the sale of the common stock being offered by this prospectus on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), such broker-dealer may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions, or commissions which may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved. See “Plan of Distribution.” If the Registered Stockholders choose to sell their shares of common stock, we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the Registered Stockholders.

The listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, without a firm-commitment underwritten offering, was a novel method for commencing public trading in shares of our common stock, and consequently, the trading volume and price of shares of our common stock may be more volatile than if shares of our common stock had been initially listed in connection with an initial public offering underwritten on a firm-commitment basis.

On the day that our shares of common stock were initially listed on Nasdaq, Nasdaq began accepting, but not executing, pre-opening buy and sell orders and began to continuously generate the indicative Current Reference Price (as defined below) on the basis of such accepted orders. The Current Reference Price was calculated each second and, during a 10-minute “Display Only” period, was disseminated, along with other indicative imbalance information, to market participants by Nasdaq on its NOII and BookViewer tools. Following the “Display Only” period, a “Pre-Launch” period began, during which EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC (the “Advisor” or “EF Hutton”), in its capacity as our financial advisor, notified Nasdaq that our shares were “ready to trade.” After the Advisor notified Nasdaq that our shares of common stock were ready to trade, Nasdaq confirmed the Current Reference Price for our shares of common stock, in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. After the Advisor approved proceeding at the Current Reference Price, the applicable orders that were entered were executed at such price and regular trading of our shares of common stock on Nasdaq commenced, subject to Nasdaq conducting validation checks in accordance with the Nasdaq rules. Under the Nasdaq rules, the “Current Reference Price” means: (i) the single price at which the maximum number of orders to buy or sell can be matched; (ii) if there is more than one price at which the maximum number of orders to buy or sell can be matched, then it is the price that minimizes the imbalance between orders to buy or sell (i.e. minimizes the number of shares that would remain unmatched at such price); (iii) if more than one price exists under (ii), then it is the entered price (i.e. the specified price entered in an order by a customer to buy or sell) at which our shares of common stock will remain unmatched (i.e. will not be bought or sold); and (iv) if more than one price exists under (iii), a price determined by Nasdaq in consultation with the Advisor in its capacity as our financial advisor. In the event that more than one price existed under (iii), the Advisor exercised any consultation rights only to the extent that it was able to do so consistent with the anti-manipulation provisions of the federal securities laws, including Regulation M, or applicable relief granted thereunder. The Registered Stockholders were not involved in Nasdaq’s price-setting mechanism, including any decision to delay or proceed with trading, nor did they control or influence the Advisor in carrying out its role as a financial adviser. The Advisor determined when our shares of common stock were ready to trade and approved proceeding at the Current Reference Price primarily based on considerations of volume, timing and price. In particular, the Advisor determined, based primarily on pre-opening buy and sell orders, when a reasonable amount of volume will cross on the opening trade such that sufficient price discovery has been made to open trading at the Current Reference Price. For more information, see “Plan of Distribution.”

Our common stock began trading on Nasdaq on May 17, 2022 under the symbol “BGXX”.

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

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to this prospectus.

Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities, or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Overview

We are a first-mover in the U.S. federally-authorized cannabis space. BGC is one of a few companies who have received from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (the “DEA”), a federal controlled substances registration for the bulk manufacturing of cannabis under DEA Registration No. RB0649383 (the “DEA Registration”), which allows the Company to produce federally legal cannabis, cannabis extracts, and tetrahydrocannabinol in the U.S. We received the DEA Registration on April 28, 2023, pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement (the “MOA”) with the DEA entered into on April 27, 2023, which replaced the 2021 Memorandum of Agreement (the “2021 MOA”) (DEA Document Control Number W20078135E).

Unlike state-licensed cannabis companies who engage in commercial sales to consumers, and whose businesses are legal under state law but not federal law, subject to the milestones and requirements set forth herein, we are authorized by the federal government to sell cannabis commercially for research and manufacturing purposes, export cannabis for international cannabis research purposes, and sell cannabis to DEA-registered pharmaceutical companies for the production of medical cannabis products and preparations. Our business activities under the DEA Registration are subject to applicable federal law and regulations and to our obligations under the MOA we entered into with the DEA. Our DEA Registration is valid through July 31, 2024. We plan to focus on the development of cannabis strains and sales of cannabis and hemp products with high contents of CBN (cannabinol) and CBG (cannabigerol).

In addition to research and pharmaceutical supply sales, Bright Green will be able to sell certain cannabinoids, such as CBN (cannabinol) and CBG (cannabigerol) as hemp isolates or extracts, and plans to sell CBN and CBG hemp products to consumers where such products are fully legal under all applicable laws. On August 9, 2022, the DEA confirmed to BGC that cannabinoids, including, but not limited to CBN/CBG, which meet the definition of “hemp” by having a Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis, are outside of the DEA’s jurisdiction because they are not controlled under the CSA. Hemp and hemp products were made legal by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the “2018 Farm Bill”), which has been codified in 21 U.S.C. § 802(16)(B)(i), and 7 U.S.C. § 1639o. This hemp product business line will be in addition to our research and pharmaceutical cannabis activities conducted under the DEA Registration.

Because cannabis is still a Schedule I controlled substance in the U.S., it has been historically under-researched. Though the majority of Americans now live in states where cannabis is legal, the full potential of the cannabis plant for medicinal use remains understudied due to limited access to federally-approved cannabis. The DEA recently issued a call for more cannabis research supply based on the increased demand for cannabis research in the U.S. As described herein, on April 28, 2023, we received the DEA Registration, which allows us to produce federally legal cannabis, cannabis extracts, and tetrahydrocannabinol and to sell legally within the U.S. to licensed researchers and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to qualifying us to export cannabis internationally.

BGC must comply with the terms agreed upon pursuant to the MOA which include: submitting an Individual Procurement Quota on or before April 1 of each year utilizing DEA Form 250; submitting an Individual Manufacturing Quota on or before May 1 of each year utilizing DEA Form 189; collecting samples of cannabis and distributing them to DEA-registered analytical laboratories for chemical analysis during the pendency of cultivation and prior to the DEA’s taking possession of the cannabis grown; providing the DEA with 15-day advance written notification, via email, of its intent to harvest cannabis; following the DEA’s packaging, labeling, storage and transportation requirements; distributing DEA’s stocks of cannabis to buyers who entered into bona fide supply agreements with the Company; providing the DEA with 15-day advance written notification of its intent to distribute cannabis; and invoicing the DEA for harvested cannabis that it intends to sell to the DEA.

Having received our DEA Registration, we are permitted to cultivate and manufacture cannabis, supply cannabis researchers in the U.S. and globally, and produce cannabis for use in pharmaceutical production of prescription medicines within the U.S. Our DEA Registration permits our cannabis activities under federal law, which sets BGC apart from most other U.S. cannabis companies.

We have assembled an experienced team of medical professionals and researchers, international horticultural growers and experts, and construction and cannabis production professionals, which we believe position us as a future industry leader in the production of cannabis.

Recent Developments

May 2023 Private Placement

On May 21, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “May Purchase Agreement”) with an accredited investor and existing stockholder of the Company (the “May Investor”) for the sale by the Company of (i) 3,684,210 shares (the “May Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,684,210 shares of common stock (the “May Warrant Shares”), in a private placement offering (the “May Private Placement”). The combined purchase price of one May Share and accompanying warrant was $0.95.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants are exercisable immediately after issuance at an exercise price equal to $0.95 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the warrants. The warrants have a term of five years from the date of issuance.

The May Private Placement closed on May 24, 2023. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $3.5 million before deducting transaction related fees and expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for strategic investments, greenhouse operations, repayment of certain indebtedness and working capital and general corporate purposes.

In connection with the May Purchase Agreement, the Company entered in a registration rights agreement with the May Investor, whereby, among other things, the Company agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate and available form) within fifteen calendar days of the date of the May Purchase Agreement, with the SEC, covering the May Shares and the May Warrant Shares, and to cause such registration statement to become effective by the sixtieth calendar day following the date of the Purchase Agreement. On June 5, 2023, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the May Shares and May Warrant Shares. Such registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on June 14, 2023.

The May Shares and accompanying warrants were sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

EF Hutton, division of Benchmark Investments, LLC acted as the placement agent in connection with the May Private Placement (“Hutton”). Pursuant to the placement agent agreement entered into between the Company and Hutton on May 21, 2023, Hutton was paid a commission equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in the May Private Placement. The Company also reimbursed Hutton $50,000 for out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees, costs and disbursements of its legal counsel.

The Company believes that its existing facilities and other available properties will be sufficient for its needs for the foreseeable future. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this prospectus and should not be considered to be part thereof. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the SEC electronically through the SEC website (www.sec.gov). The information contained on the SEC’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and should not be considered to be part thereof. We also provide access without charge to all of our SEC filings, including copies of this Registration Statement, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as soon as reasonably practicable after filing or furnishing, on our website.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended, and therefore we intend to take advantage of certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus, our periodic reports and our proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We may remain an emerging growth company for up to five years from the date of the closing of our public offering, or until such earlier time as we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue, the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is more than $700 million as of the final day of our second fiscal quarter, in which case we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following final day of our fiscal year, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies, such as providing only two years of audited financing statements.

ABOUT THIS OFFERING

Prior to the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq, there has been no public market for our common stock. Sales of a substantial number of shares our common stock in the public market following our listing on Nasdaq, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the public price of our common stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your shares at a time and price that you deem appropriate. We will have no input if and when any Registered Stockholders may, or may not, elect to sell their shares or the prices at which any such sales may occur.

Upon our registration, a total of 158,357,000 shares of common stock were outstanding, and 158,249,000 shares were registered under this registration statement, constituting substantially all of our outstanding shares of common stock. Any shares not registered hereunder are “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if they are registered under the Securities Act, including, but not limited to, the shares registered hereunder, or if they qualify for an exemption from registration, including under Rules 144 or 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below. Restricted securities also may be sold outside of the United States to non-U.S. persons in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S. With the exception of shares owned by our directors, officers and certain stockholders, substantially all of our common stock may be sold after our initial listing on Nasdaq, either by the Registered Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or by our other existing stockholders in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Rule 144

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, once we have been subject to and in compliance with public company reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days, an eligible shareholder is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144, subject to compliance with the public information requirements of Rule 144. To be an eligible shareholder under Rule 144, such shareholder must not be deemed to have been one of our affiliates for purposes of the Securities Act at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock proposed to be sold for at least six months, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates. If such a person has beneficially owned the shares of common stock proposed to be sold for at least one year, including the holding period of any prior owner other than our affiliates, then such person is entitled to sell such shares without complying with any of the requirements of Rule 144.

In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, our affiliates or persons selling common stock on behalf of our affiliates are entitled to sell shares 90 days after we become a reporting company. Within any three-month period, such shareholders may sell a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

	●	1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding, which will equal approximately shares immediately after our registration; or

	●	the average weekly trading volume of our common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to such sale.

Sales under Rule 144 by our affiliates or persons selling shares of common stock on behalf of our affiliates also are subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

As described herein, substantially all of our outstanding shares of our common stock are registered under this registration statement and need not be sold under Rule 144.

Rule 701

Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who was issued shares under a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of our Company during the immediately preceding 90 days, to sell these shares in reliance on Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144. Rule 701 also permits affiliates of our Company to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required by that rule to wait until 90 days after we become a reporting company before selling those shares under Rule 701.

As described herein, substantially all of our outstanding shares of our common stock are be registered under this registration statement and need not be sold under Rule 701.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our securities involves risks. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should consider carefully all of the information included in and incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference herein from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 22, 2023, as updated by annual, quarterly and other reports and documents we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus and that are incorporated by reference herein or in any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus. Each of these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position or cash flows, which may result in the loss of all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be harmed. In that case, the trading price of our common stock or other securities could decline. To the extent a particular offering implicates additional known material risks, we will include a discussion of those risks in the applicable prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The Registered Stockholders may, or may not, elect to sell shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus. To the extent any Registered Stockholder chooses to sell shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus, we will not receive any proceeds from any such sales of our common stock. See “Principal and Registered Stockholders.”

PRINCIPAL AND REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 29, 2023, by:

	●	each person known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock;
	●	each of our executive officers and directors; and
	●	all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of stock options, within 60 days. Shares subject to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the directors and executive officers of the Company is c/o Bright Green Corporation, 1033 George Hanosh Boulevard Grants, NM 87020.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR SECURITIES

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each as amended and restated. Reference is made to the more detailed provisions of, and the descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, forms of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and applicable law.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 178,608,020 were issued and outstanding as of June 29, 2023, and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which none are issued or outstanding, as of the date hereof.

Common Stock

As of June 29, 2023, there were 178,608,020 shares of our common stock outstanding held by approximately 95 stockholders of record. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:

●	holders of common stock have voting rights for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action, except with respect to amendments to our certificate of incorporation that alter or change the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of any outstanding preferred stock if the holders of such affected series of preferred stock are entitled to vote on such an amendment;
●	holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders and also are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors (the “Board”) in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor;
●	the payment of dividends, if any, on the common stock are subject to the prior payment of dividends on any outstanding preferred stock;
●	upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets remaining available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all liabilities and provision for the liquidation of any shares of preferred stock outstanding at that time; and
●	our stockholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

Warrants

In the Company’s September 2022 private placement that closed on September 12, 2022 (the “September 2022 Private Placement”), warrants to purchase up to 9,523,810 shares of common stock were issued. The warrants were initially exercisable at a price of $1.05 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrants, at any time after September 12, 2022 and will expire on September 13, 2027. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants were registered for resale on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-267546), originally filed with the SEC on September 22, 2022. The registration statement was declared effective on September 30, 2022. In connection with the May 2023 Private Placement, the exercise price of the warrants issued in the September 2022 Private Placement was reduced to $0.95 per share.

In the May 2023 Private Placement that closed on May 24, 2023, warrants to purchase up to 3,684,210 shares of common stock were issued. The warrants shall be initially exercisable at a price of $0.95 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the warrants, are exercisable any time after May 24, 2023 and will expire on May 24, 2028. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants were registered for resale on a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272431), originally filed with the SEC on June 5, 2023. The registration statement was declared effective on June 14, 2023.

Preferred Stock

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board will be able to, without stockholder approval, 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 our Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Certain Anti-takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

As a Delaware corporation, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally has an anti-takeover effect for transactions not approved in advance by our Board. This may discourage takeover attempts that might result in payment of a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the time that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of BGC’s voting stock.

Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of the following conditions:

●	before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or

●	upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested outstanding, shares owned by:

●	persons who are directors and also officers, and

●	employee stock plans, in some instances; or

●	at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by the board of directors are authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Exclusive Forum

Our amended and restated bylaws provides, and current amended and restated certificate of incorporation currently provides, that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be a state or federal court located within the state of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the above forum exclusivity provisions. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

The forum selection provision is intended to apply “to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,” subject to certain exceptions. 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. In addition, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to actions brought under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Special meeting of stockholders

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called by the Board acting pursuant to a resolution approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, the Chief Executive Officer (of if there is no Chief Executive Officer, the President) or the Chairperson of the Board.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Director Nominations and Stockholder Proposals

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders (other than nominations), a stockholder’s notice needs to be delivered to the secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90^th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is more than 30 days before or more than 70 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company. To be timely to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, a record stockholder’s notice shall be received by the Company’s secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 45 or more than 75 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Company first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that, subject to the other provisions of our amended and restated bylaws, if the meeting is convened more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 30 days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by a record stockholder to be timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of (i) 90th day before such annual meeting or (ii) the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made.

Our amended and restated bylaws specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

Authorized but unissued shares

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Removal of directors

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that a member of our Board may be removed from service as a director, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of voting stock then outstanding and entitled to vote in an election of directors.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that our directors and officers will be indemnified by us to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law.

These provisions may discourage 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 directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that might result in a claim for such indemnification, except as disclosed below. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Listing

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BGXX.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Vstock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent and registrar’s address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. The transfer agent and registrar can be contacted by phone at: (212) 828-8436.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Under the Nasdaq rules, the Current Reference Price means: (i) the single price at which the maximum number of orders to buy or sell can be matched; (ii) if there is more than one price at which the maximum number of orders to buy or sell can be matched, then it is the price that minimizes the imbalance between orders to buy or sell (i.e. minimizes the number of shares that would remain unmatched at such price); (iii) if more than one price exists under (ii), then it is the entered price (i.e. the specified price entered in an order by a customer to buy or sell) at which our shares of common stock will remain unmatched (i.e. will not be bought or sold); and (iv) if more than one price exists under (iii), a price determined by Nasdaq in consultation with the Advisor in its capacity as our financial advisor. In the event that more than one price existed under (iii), the Advisor exercised any consultation rights only to the extent that it was able to do so consistent with the anti-manipulation provisions of the federal securities laws, including Regulation M, or applicable relief granted thereunder.

In determining the Current Reference Price, Nasdaq’s cross algorithms matched orders that have been entered into and accepted by Nasdaq’s system. This occurred with respect to a potential Current Reference Price when orders to buy shares of common stock at an entered bid price that is greater than or equal to such potential Current Reference Price are matched with orders to sell a like number of shares of common stock at an entered asking price that is less than or equal to such potential Current Reference Price. To illustrate, as a hypothetical example of the calculation of the Current Reference Price, if Nasdaq’s cross algorithms matched all accepted orders as described above, and two limit orders remained — a limit order to buy 500 shares of common stock at an entered bid price of $10.01 per share and a limit order to sell 200 shares of common stock at an entered asking price of $10.00 per share — the Current Reference Price would be selected as follows:

	●	Under clause (i), if the Current Reference Price is $10.00, then the maximum number of additional shares that can be matched is 200. If the Current Reference Price is $10.01, then the maximum number of additional shares that can be matched is also 200, which means that the same maximum number of additional shares would be matched at the price of either $10.00 or $10.01.
	●	Because more than one price under clause (i) exists, under clause (ii), the Current Reference Price would be the price that minimizes the imbalance between orders to buy or sell (i.e. minimizes the number of shares that would remain unmatched at such price). Selecting either $10.00 or $10.01 as the Current Reference Price would create the same imbalance in the limit orders that cannot be matched, because at either price 300 shares would not be matched.
	●	Because more than one price under clause (ii) exists, under clause (iii), the Current Reference Price would be the entered price at which orders for shares of common stock at such entered price will remain unmatched. In such case, choosing $10.01 would cause 300 shares of the 500 share limit order with the entered price of $10.01 to remain unmatched, compared to choosing $10.00, where all 200 shares of the limit order with the entered price of $10.00 would be matched, and no shares at such entered price remain unmatched. Thus, Nasdaq would select $10.01 as the Current Reference Price, because orders for shares at such entered price will remain unmatched. The above example (including the prices) is provided solely by way of illustration.

The Advisor determined when our shares of common stock were ready to trade and approved proceeding at the Current Reference Price primarily based on considerations of volume, timing and price. In particular, the Advisor determined, based primarily on pre-opening buy and sell orders, when a reasonable amount of volume will cross on the opening trade such that sufficient price discovery has been made to open trading at the Current Reference Price. If the Advisor did not approve proceeding at the Current Reference Price (for example, due to the absence of adequate pre-opening buy and sell interest), the Advisor requested that Nasdaq delay the opening until such a time that sufficient price discovery has been made to ensure that a reasonable amount of volume crosses on the opening trade. Further, in the event that Nasdaq consulted with the Advisor as described in clause (iv) of the definition of Current Reference Price, the Advisor requested that Nasdaq delay the opening to ensure a single opening price within clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of the Current Reference Price. The Registered Stockholders were not involved in Nasdaq’s price-setting mechanism, and did not coordinate or be in communication with the Advisor including with respect to any decision by the Advisor to delay or proceed with trading.

Similar to a Nasdaq-listed firm-commitment underwritten initial public offering, in connection with the listing of our shares of common stock, buyers and sellers who have subscribed had access to Nasdaq’s Order Imbalance Indicator (the “Net Order Imbalance Indicator”), a widely available, subscription-based data feed, prior to submitting buy or sell orders. Nasdaq’s electronic trading platform simulates auctioned every second to calculate a Current Reference Price, the number of shares of common stock that can be paired off the Current Reference Price, the number of shares of common stock that would remain unexecuted at the Current Reference Price and whether a buy-side or sell-side imbalance exists, or whether there is no imbalance, to disseminate that information continuously to buyers and sellers via the Net Order Imbalance Indicator data feed.

However, because this was not an initial public offering being conducted on a firm-commitment underwritten basis, there were no traditional book building process. Moreover, prior to the opening trade, there was no price at which underwriters initially sold shares of common stock to the public, as there would have been in a firm-commitment underwritten initial public offering. The lack of an initial public offering price could have impacted the range of buy and sell orders collected by Nasdaq from various broker-dealers. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock — Our listing differs significantly from an initial public offering conducted on a firm-commitment basis. An active trading market may not develop or continue to be liquid and the market price of our shares of common stock may be volatile.”

In addition, to list on Nasdaq, we are also required to have at least three registered and active market makers. We expect that the Advisor will act as a registered and active market maker and will engage other market makers.

In addition to sales made pursuant to this prospectus, the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may be sold by the Registered Stockholders in private transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Under the securities laws of some states, shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

If any of the Registered Stockholders utilize a broker-dealer in the sale of the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus, such broker-dealer may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from such Registered Stockholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal.

We have engaged EF Hutton as our financial advisor to advise and assist us with respect to certain matters relating to our listing. The services expected to be performed by the Advisor will include providing advice and assistance with respect to defining objectives, analyzing, structuring and planning the listing and developing and assisting with our investor communication strategy in relation to this listing.

However, the Advisor will not be engaged to otherwise facilitate or coordinate price discovery activities or sales of shares of our common stock in consultation with us, and will not be permitted to, and will not be instructed by us to, plan or actively participate in any investor education activities, except as described herein.

Prior to the financial advisory services provided by the Advisor to the Company in connection with the listing of our securities, neither the Advisor nor any affiliates of the Advisor have provided services of any kind to the Company. However, the Advisor is a full service financial institution engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Advisor and their affiliates may, from time to time, perform financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they would receive customary fees, discounts and customary payments including but not limited to certain expense reimbursements.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was an officer, director, employee, or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such person as an officer, director, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. Our amended and restated bylaws includes such provisions related to our authority to indemnify a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent.

Section 145 of the DGCL also provides that Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person was a director, officer, employee, or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.

Under the DGCL, where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred. Article VIII of our amended and restated bylaws contains a mandatory indemnification provision, which requires us to indemnify a person in the defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director or officer, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.

II-1

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

	●	breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

	●	act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

	●	unlawful payment of dividends, stock purchase or redemption of shares; or

	●	transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation does not include such a provision.

Pursuant to Article VIII of our amended and restated bylaws, expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery to us of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts advanced if it should ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

Section 174 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered on the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

We have an insurance policy covering our officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, or otherwise.

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§230.424 of this chapter);

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions described in Item 15, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of any registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each appropriate registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
