Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement
On October 31, 2023, Dolphin Entertainment,
Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with
Maxim Group LLC (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriter in an
underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of
common stock, $0.015 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). Each share of Common Stock is being
offered and sold to the public for a public offering price of $1.65 per share. Under the terms of
the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter an option, exercisable for 45 days, to purchase an additional 210,000
shares of common stock.
The Company intends to use the
net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire
or invest in complementary businesses. The Company received gross proceeds of approximately $2,310,000 before deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering closed on November 2, 2023.
The Underwriting Agreement contains
customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each of the Company
and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The Offering was made pursuant
to the Company’s effective “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying prospectus (Registration No.
333-273431) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 25, 2023 and declared effective by
the SEC on August 3, 2023, as supplemented by the preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on October 30, 2023 and the final
prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on November 1, 2023.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement
is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the
material terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit,
which is incorporated by reference. A copy of the legal opinion of K&L Gates LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale
of the Shares being sold in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The provisions of the Underwriting
Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties
to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors or the public to obtain factual information about the current state
of affairs of the parties to that document. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s
filings with the SEC, including the prospectus supplements.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 30, 2023, the Company
issued a press release announcing that it had commenced the Offering and on October 31, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing
that it had priced the Offering. Copies of these press releases are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 hereto, respectfully, and are incorporated
herein by reference.

and Prospectus Supplement. Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item
12 of Form S-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act, on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Prospectus,
the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms “amend,”
“amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus
or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date
of this Agreement, or the issue date of the , the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to
be incorporated therein by reference. All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which
is “contained,” “included,” “described,” “referenced,” “set forth” or “stated”
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement (and all other references of like
import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is or is deemed to
be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement,
as the case may be. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the use of the Prospectus, the Preliminary
Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement has been issued, and no proceeding for any such purpose is pending or has been initiated or,
to the Company's knowledge, is threatened by the Commission. For purposes of this Agreement, “free writing prospectus”
has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. The Company will not, without the prior consent of the Representative,
prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus.
(g)
Issuance of Securities. The Public Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable
Transaction Documents, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all Liens imposed by the Company.
The Company has reserved from its duly authorized capital stock the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
Agreement. The holder of the Public Shares will not be subject to personal liability by reason of being such holders. The Public Shares
are not and will not be subject to the preemptive rights of any holders of any security of the Company or similar contractual rights
granted by the Company. All corporate action required to be taken for the authorization, issuance and sale of the Public Shares has been
duly and validly taken. The Public Shares conform in all material respects to all statements with respect thereto contained in the Registration
Statement.
(h)
Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as set forth in the SEC Reports. The Company has not issued any capital
stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options
under the Company’s stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to employees pursuant to the Company’s employee
stock purchase plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most
recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, or as disclosed in the SEC Reports. No Person has any right of first refusal,
preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Except as a result of the purchase and sale of the Closing Shares, there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities, rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for, or giving any Person any right to subscribe for or acquire, any shares of Common Stock or the capital stock of any
Subsidiary, or contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to
issue additional shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or the capital stock of any Subsidiary, except as disclosed in the
SEC Reports. The issuance and sale of the Public Shares will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock
or other securities to any Person (other than the Underwriters) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to
adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments
of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or
instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the
Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings
or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary.
The Company does not have any stock appreciation rights or “phantom stock” plans or agreements or any similar plan or agreement.
All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have
been issued in compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such outstanding shares was issued in violation of
any preemptive rights or similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. The authorized shares of the Company conform in all
material respects to all statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, and the Prospectus Supplement.
The offers and sales of the Company’s securities were at all relevant times either registered under the Securities Act and the
applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws or, based in part on the representations and warranties of the purchasers, exempt from such
registration requirements. No further approval or authorization of any stockholder, the Board of Directors or others is required for
the issuance and sale of the Public Shares. There are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with
respect to the Company’s capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the Company, between or among any
of the Company’s stockholders.
(i)
SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has filed all reports, schedules,
forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Company was required by
law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference
therein, together with the Registration Statement, Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, being collectively
referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”) on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing
and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied
in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as applicable, and none of the SEC Reports,
when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the
rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing. The selected financial data set forth
under the caption “Selected Financial Data” in the SEC Reports fairly present, on the basis stated in the Registration Statement,
the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, and the information included therein. The pro forma financial
statements included in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and the Prospectus Supplement include
assumptions that provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the transactions and events
described therein, the related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the pro forma adjustments reflect
the proper application of those adjustments to the historical financial statement amounts in the pro forma financial statements included
in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, and the Prospectus Supplement. The pro forma financial statements
included in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus the Prospectus, and the Prospectus Supplement comply as to form in
all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the pro forma adjustments
have been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements. Such financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (“GAAP”),
except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements or the notes thereto and except that unaudited financial statements
may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP, and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company and
its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended,
subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal, immaterial, year-end audit adjustments. The agreements and documents described
in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement and the SEC Reports conform to the
descriptions thereof contained therein and there are no agreements or other documents required by the Securities Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder to be described in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement
or the SEC Reports or to be filed with the Commission as exhibits to the Registration Statement, that have not been so described or filed.
Each agreement or other instrument (however characterized or described) to which the Company is a party or by which it is or may be bound
or affected and (i) that is referred to in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus
Supplement or the SEC Reports, or (ii) is material to the Company’s business, has been duly authorized and validly executed
by the Company, is in full force and effect in all material respects and is enforceable against the Company and, to the Company’s
knowledge, the other parties thereto, in accordance with its terms, except (x) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (y) as enforceability of any indemnification
or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws, and (z) that the remedy of specific performance
and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before
which any proceeding therefore may be brought. None of such agreements or instruments has been assigned by the Company, and neither the
Company nor, to the best of the Company’s knowledge, any other party is in default thereunder and, to the best of the Company’s
knowledge, no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder.
To the best of the Company’s knowledge, performance by the Company of the material provisions of such agreements or instruments
will not result in a violation of any existing applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment, order or decree of any governmental agency
or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its assets or businesses, including, without limitation,
those relating to environmental laws and regulations.
(j)
Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, (i) there
has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
(ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s
financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method

director of the Company has resigned from any position with the Company. The Company does not have pending before the Commission any

liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect
to the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses, prospects, properties, operations, assets or financial condition that
would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws at the time this representation is made or deemed made
that has not been publicly disclosed at least one (1) Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made. Unless otherwise
disclosed in an SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof, the Company has not: (i) issued any securities or incurred any liability
or obligation, direct or contingent, for borrowed money; or (ii) declared or paid any dividend or made any other distribution on
or in respect to its capital stock.
(k)
Litigation. There is no action, suit, inquiry, notice of violation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge
of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties before or by any court,
arbitrator, governmental or administrative agency or regulatory authority (federal, state, county, local or foreign) (collectively, an
“Action”) which (i) adversely affects or challenges the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any of any of the Transaction Documents or the Public Shares or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, have or reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor any director or officer thereof, is or
has been the subject of any Action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of
breach of fiduciary duty. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation
by the Commission involving the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Commission has not issued any
stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company or any Subsidiary under the
Exchange Act or the Securities Act.
(l)
Labor Relations. No labor dispute exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent with respect to any of the employees
of the Company, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’
employees is a member of a union that relates to such employee’s relationship with the Company or such Subsidiary, and neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company and its Subsidiaries believe
that their relationships with their employees are good. To the knowledge of the Company, no executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary,
is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement or non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant in favor of any third
party, and the continued employment of each such executive officer does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability
with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all U.S. federal, state, local
and foreign laws and regulations relating to employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours,
except where the failure to be in compliance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(m)
Compliance. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary: (i) is in default under or in violation of (and no event has occurred
that has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company or any Subsidiary under),
nor has the Company or any Subsidiary received notice of a claim that it is in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture,
loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound
(whether or not such default or violation has been waived), (ii) is in violation of any judgment, decree or order of any court, arbitrator
or other governmental authority or (iii) is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
authority, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational
health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, except in each case as could not have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(n)
Regulatory Permits. The Company and the Subsidiaries possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in
the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect
(each, a “Material Permit”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating
to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit. The disclosures in the Registration Statement concerning the effects of Federal,
State, local and all foreign regulation on the Company’s business as currently contemplated are correct in all material respects.
(o)
Title to Assets. The Company and the Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to, or have valid and marketable
rights to lease or otherwise use, all real property and all personal property that is material to the business of the Company and the
Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for (i) Liens that do not materially affect the value of such property
and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and the Subsidiaries and (ii)
Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, for which appropriate reserves have been made therefor in accordance with GAAP,
and the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
and the Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with which the Company and the Subsidiaries are
in compliance.
(p)
Intellectual Property. The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications,
trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual
property rights and similar rights necessary or required for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC
Reports and which the failure to do so could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”).
None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property
Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the
date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate
or infringe upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and
there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except
where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(q)
Insurance. The Company and the Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such
losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and the Subsidiaries are engaged,
including, but not limited to, directors and officers insurance coverage. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business without a significant increase in cost.
(r)
Transactions With Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, none of the officers or directors of
the Company or any Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary is presently

any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of real or personal
property to or from, providing for the borrowing of money from or lending of money to or otherwise requiring payments to or from, any
officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any entity in which any officer, director, or any such employee
has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee, stockholder, member or partner, in each case in excess of $120,000 other
than for (i) payment of salary or consulting fees for services rendered, (ii) reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the Company
and (iii) other employee benefits, including stock option agreements under any stock option plan of the Company.
(s)
Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance with any and all applicable
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 that are effective as of the date hereof, and any and all applicable rules and regulations
promulgated by the Commission thereunder that are effective as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date. Except as disclosed in
the SEC Reports filed by the Company prior to the date hereof, the Company and the Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting
controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals
and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports filed by the Company prior to
the date hereof, the Company and the Subsidiaries have established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and the Subsidiaries and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized
and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have
evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the end of the period
covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The
Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about
the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation
Date, there have been no changes in the internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) of the
Company and its Subsidiaries that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial
reporting of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
(t)
Certain Fees. Except as set forth in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, no brokerage or finder’s fees or
commissions are or will be payable by the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to any broker, financial advisor or consultant,
finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
To the Company’s knowledge, there are no other arrangements, agreements or understandings of the Company or, to the Company’s
knowledge, any of its stockholders that may affect the Underwriters’ compensation, as determined by FINRA. The Company has not
made any direct or indirect payments (in cash, securities or otherwise) to: (i) any person, as a finder’s fee, consulting
fee or otherwise, in consideration of such person raising capital for the Company or introducing to the Company persons who raised or
provided capital to the Company; (ii) any FINRA member; or (iii) any person or entity that has any direct or indirect affiliation
or association with any FINRA member, within the twelve months prior to the Execution Date. None of the net proceeds of the Offering
will be paid by the Company to any participating FINRA member or its affiliates, except as specifically authorized herein.
(u)
Investment Company. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Public
Shares will not be or be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become an “investment company” subject
to registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(v)
Registration Rights. No Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the
Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(w)
Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and
the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration
of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating
such registration. The Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from any Trading Market on which
the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance
requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue
to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer
through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Company is current in payment of the fees of
the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.
(x)
Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and the Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in
order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights
agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s certificate of incorporation (or similar charter documents)
or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable as a result of the Underwriters and the Company fulfilling
their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents.
(y)
Disclosure; 10b-5. The Registration Statement (and any further documents to be filed with the Commission) contains all
exhibits and schedules as required by the Securities Act. Each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto,
if any, at the time it became effective, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable
rules and regulations under the Securities Act and did not and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, will not, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. The Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, each as of its respective date, comply in all material
respects with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations. Each of the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus
and the Prospectus Supplement, as amended or supplemented, did not and will not contain as of the date thereof any untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The SEC Reports, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material respects to
the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations, and none of such documents, when they were filed with
the Commission, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein (with respect to the SEC Reports incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement),
in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading; and any further documents so filed and incorporated by reference
in the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, when such documents are filed with the Commission, will conform in
all material respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations, as applicable, and will not contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading. No post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement reflecting any facts or events arising
after the date thereof which represent, individually or in the aggregate, a fundamental change in the information set forth therein is
required to be filed with the Commission. There are no documents required to be filed with the Commission in connection with the transaction
contemplated hereby that (x) have not been filed as required pursuant to the Securities Act or (y) will not be filed within the requisite
time period. There are no contracts or other documents required to be described in the Preliminary Prospectus, Prospectus or Prospectus
Supplement, or to be filed as exhibits or schedules to the Registration Statement, which have not been described or filed as required.
The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.
(z)
No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has,
directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that
would cause this offering of the Public Shares to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable shareholder
approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.
(aa)
Solvency. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the
receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Public Shares hereunder, (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s
assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities
(including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular
capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability
thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all
of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of
its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has
no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy
or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one (1) year from the Closing Date. The SEC Reports set forth as of the date thereof
all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.
Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.
(bb)
Tax Status. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries each (i) has made or filed all United States federal, state and local
income and all foreign income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject,
(ii) has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on
such returns, reports and declarations and (iii) has set aside on its books provision reasonably adequate for the payment of all material
taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material
amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company or of any Subsidiary know of no
basis for any such claim. The provisions for taxes payable, if any, shown on the financial statements filed with or as part of the Registration
Statement are sufficient for all accrued and unpaid taxes, whether or not disputed, and for all periods to and including the dates of
such consolidated financial statements. The term “taxes” mean all federal, state, local, foreign, and other net income, gross
income, gross receipts, sales, use, ad valorem, transfer, franchise, profits, license, lease, service, service use, withholding, payroll,
employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, property, windfall profits, customs, duties or other taxes, fees, assessments,
or charges of any kind whatsoever, together with any interest and any penalties, additions to tax, or additional amounts with respect
thereto. The term “returns” means all returns, declarations, reports, statements, and other documents required to be filed
in respect to taxes.
(cc)
Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary, nor to the knowledge of the Company or any Subsidiary,
any agent or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, has (i) directly or indirectly, used any funds for unlawful
contributions, gifts, entertainment or other unlawful expenses related to foreign or domestic political activity, (ii) made any unlawful
payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns from corporate
funds, (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by the Company or any Subsidiary (or made by any person acting on its behalf
of which the Company is aware) which is in violation of law, or (iv) violated in any material respect any provision of FCPA. The Company
has taken reasonable steps to ensure that its accounting controls and procedures are sufficient to cause the Company to comply in all

could cause the loss of such qualification.

for such period, not exceeding seven (7) days, as the Representative, or if the Representative is the defaulting Underwriter, the non-defaulting
Underwriters, may determine in order that the required changes in the Prospectus Supplement or in any other documents or arrangements

Supplement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, as the case may be. With respect to any untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Preliminary Prospectus, if any, the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 6.1 shall not inure to the benefit of an Underwriter to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense of such
Underwriter results from the fact that a copy of the Prospectus Supplement was not given or sent to the Person asserting any such loss,
liability, claim or damage at or prior to the written confirmation of sale of the Public Shares to such Person as required by the Securities
Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and if the untrue statement or omission has been corrected in the Prospectus Supplement,
unless such failure to deliver the Prospectus Supplement was a result of non-compliance by the Company with its obligations under this
Agreement. The Company agrees promptly to notify each Underwriter of the commencement of any litigation or proceedings against the Company
or any of its officers, directors or Controlling Persons in connection with the issue and sale of the Public Shares or in connection
with the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or the Prospectus Supplement.
6.2
Procedure. If any action is brought against an Underwriter, a Selected Dealer or a Controlling Person in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company pursuant to Section 6.1, such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person, as
the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the institution of such action and the Company shall assume the defense
of such action, including the employment and fees of counsel (subject to the reasonable approval of such Underwriter or such Selected
Dealer, as the case may be) and payment of actual expenses. Such Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall have the
right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Underwriter, such Selected Dealer or Controlling Person unless (i) the employment of such counsel at the expense of the Company shall
have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection with the defense of such action, or (ii) the Company shall not have employed
counsel to have charge of the defense of such action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to the Company (in which case
the Company shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which
events the reasonable fees and expenses of not more than one additional firm of attorneys selected by such Underwriter (in addition to
local counsel), Selected Dealer and/or Controlling Person shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if any Underwriter, Selected Dealer or Controlling Person shall assume the defense of such action as provided above, the Company
shall have the right to approve the terms of any settlement of such action which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.3
Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, officers and employees and agents who control the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section
20 of the Exchange Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the foregoing indemnity from the Company
to such Underwriter, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions
made in any Preliminary Prospectus, if any, the Registration Statement or Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto
or in any application, in reliance upon, and in strict conformity with, written information furnished to the Company with respect to
such Underwriter by or on behalf of such Underwriter expressly for use in such Preliminary Prospectus, if any, the Registration Statement
or Prospectus Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or in any such application. In case any action shall be brought against
the Company or any other Person so indemnified based on any Preliminary Prospectus, if any, the Registration Statement or Prospectus
Supplement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any application, and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against such Underwriter,
such Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each other Person so indemnified shall have
the rights and duties given to such Underwriter by the provisions of this Article VI. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 6.3, no Underwriter shall be required to indemnify the Company for any amount in excess of the underwriting
discounts and commissions applicable to the Public Shares purchased by such Underwriter.
The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 6.3 to indemnify the Company are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
6.4
Contribution.
(a)
Contribution Rights. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the Securities Act in any case in which
(i) any Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VI makes a claim for indemnification pursuant hereto but it is judicially
determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the
denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Article
VI provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise may be required
on the part of any such Person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Article VI, then, and in each such case,
the Company and each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and
expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement incurred by the Company and such Underwriter, as incurred, in such proportions
that such Underwriter is responsible for that portion represented by the percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover
page of the Prospectus Supplement bears to the initial offering price appearing thereon and the Company is responsible for the balance;
provided, that, no Person guilty of a fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each
director, officer and employee of such Underwriter or the Company, as applicable, and each Person, if any, who controls such Underwriter
or the Company, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
Underwriter or the Company, as applicable. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4,
no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the Public
Shares purchased by such Underwriter. The Underwriters' obligations in this Section 6.4 to contribute
are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(b)
Contribution Procedure. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt by any party to this Agreement (or its representative) of
notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, such party will, if a claim for contribution in respect thereof is to be
made against another party (“Contributing Party”), notify the contributing party of the commencement thereof, but
the failure to so notify the Contributing Party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any other party other than
for contribution hereunder. In case any such action, suit or proceeding is brought against any party, and such party notifies a Contributing
Party or its representative of the commencement thereof within the aforesaid fifteen (15) days, the Contributing Party will be entitled
to participate therein with the notifying party and any other Contributing Party similarly notified. Any such Contributing Party shall
not be liable to any party seeking contribution on account of any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding affected by such party
seeking contribution without the written consent of such Contributing Party. The contribution provisions contained in this Section 6.4
are intended to supersede, to the extent permitted by law, any right to contribution under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise
available.
ARTICLE
VII.
MISCELLANEOUS
7.1
Termination.
(a)
Termination Right. The Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to any Closing
Date, (i) if any domestic or international event or act or occurrence has materially disrupted, or in its opinion will in the immediate
future materially disrupt, general securities markets in the United States; or (ii) if trading on any Trading Market shall have
been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for
securities shall have been required by FINRA or by order of the Commission or any other government authority having jurisdiction, or
(iii) if the United States shall have become involved in a new war or an increase in major hostilities, or (iv) if a banking
moratorium has been declared by a New York State or federal authority, or (v) if a moratorium on foreign exchange trading has been
declared which materially adversely impacts the United States securities markets, or (vi) if the Company shall have sustained a
material loss by fire, flood, accident, hurricane, earthquake, theft, sabotage or other calamity or malicious act which, whether or not
such loss shall have been insured, will, in the Representative’s opinion, make it inadvisable to proceed with the delivery of the
Public Shares, or (vii) if the Company is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants hereunder, or
(viii) if the Representative shall have become aware after the date hereof of such a material adverse change in the conditions or
prospects of the Company, or such adverse material change in general market conditions as in the Representative’s judgment would
make it impracticable to proceed with the offering, sale and/or delivery of the Public Shares or to enforce contracts made by the Underwriters
for the sale of the Public Shares.
(b)
Expenses. In the event this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(a), within the time specified herein

out of pocket expenses related to the transactions contemplated herein then due and payable, including the fees and disbursements of
EGS up to $35,000 (provided, however, that

documents, exhibits and schedules. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Engagement Agreement, dated October 30, 2023
(“Engagement Agreement”), by and between the Company and the Representative, shall continue to be effective and the

instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and the Representative. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision,
condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default
or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right
hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
7.5
Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
7.6
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors
and permitted assigns.
7.7
Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents

principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and
defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto
or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively
in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or
in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of
any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any action, suit or proceeding, any claim
that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient
venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any
such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery)
to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and
sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any other manner permitted by law. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction
Documents, then, in addition to the obligations of the Company under Article VI, the prevailing party in such action, suit or proceeding
shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation,

7.8
Survival. The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and the Option Closing, if any,
and the delivery of the Public Shares.
7.9
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered
one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party,
it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party
executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page were an original thereof.
7.10
Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall

have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared
invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
7.11
Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of
damages, the Underwriters and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree
that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the
Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense
that a remedy at law would be adequate.
7.12
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any
right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next

each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse
and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the

October 31, 2023
Dolphin Entertainment, Inc.
150 Alhambra Circle, Suite 1200
Coral Gables, FL 33134
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Dolphin
Entertainment, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the issuance and sale of 1,400,000 shares
(the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value 0.015 per share (“Common Stock”), to be issued and
sold pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2023, by and between the Company and Maxim Group, LLC (the “Underwriting
Agreement”). The Shares have been registered on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-273431) (such registration
statement, as amended, including documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Registration Statement”), initially
filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”) on July 25, 2023 and declared effective on August 3, 2023. Capitalized terms used
herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
The Company has requested our
opinion as to the matters set forth below in connection with the Registration Statement and the issuance and sale of the Shares. For purposes
of rendering that opinion, we have examined: (i) the Registration Statement, including the exhibits filed therewith; (ii) the preliminary
prospectus supplement, dated October 30, 2023 and the final prospectus supplement, dated October 31, 2023, filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (including the documents incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference therein) (collectively,
the “Prospectus Supplement”); (iii) the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended through the date hereof,
(iv) the Bylaws of the Company; (v) resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”)
that provide for the issuance of the Shares (the “Authorizing Resolutions”); (vi) the Company’s stock ledger;
and (vii) as to certain matters of fact that are material to our opinion, we have also relied on a certificate of an officer of the Company.
We have not reviewed any documents other than the documents listed in (i) through (vii) above.
For the purposes of this opinion
letter, we have assumed that: (i) each document submitted to us is accurate and complete; (ii) each such document that is an original
is authentic; (iii) each such document that is a copy conforms to an authentic original; and (iv) all signatures on each such document
are genuine. We have further assumed the legal capacity of natural persons. We have not verified any of the forgoing assumptions.
Our opinion set forth below is
limited to the Florida Business Corporation Act, including reported judicial decisions interpreting that law.
Based upon and subject to the
foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares are duly authorized for issuance by the Company and, when issued and paid for pursuant to
the Underwriting Agreement and the Authorizing Resolutions, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The opinion set forth above is
subject to the following additional assumptions: (i) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto (including
any post-effective amendment) under the Securities Act shall not have been terminated, suspended or rescinded, and (ii) all Shares offered
pursuant to the Registration Statement will be issued and sold in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules
and regulations and solely in the manner provided in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus Supplement, and there will not have
occurred any change in law or fact affecting the validity of the opinion rendered herein with respect thereto. We assume no obligation
to update or supplement our opinion to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur.
We hereby consent to the filing
of this opinion as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the issuance of the Shares and to the reference to this firm
in the related prospectus under the caption “Legal Matters.” In giving our consent we do not admit that we are in the category
of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In giving our consent
we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations thereunder. This opinion is expressed as of the date hereof, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise of any subsequent
changes in the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in law.

Yours truly, |

statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words and phrases such as "opportunity," "future," "will,"
"goal," "enable," "pipeline," "transition," "move forward," "towards," "build
out," "coming" and "look forward" and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends
or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions,
or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors, many of which are
outside the Company's control, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking
statements. Important factors that may affect actual results or outcomes include, among others, the Company's ability to manage growth;
the Company's ability to execute its business plan and meet its projections, including obtaining financing to construct planned facilities;
potential litigation involving the Company; changes in applicable laws or regulations; general economic and market conditions impacting
demand for the Company's products and services, and in particular economic and market conditions in the resort and entertainment industry;
the effects of the ongoing global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on capital markets, general economic conditions, unemployment and the
Company's liquidity, operations and personnel; increased inflation; the inability to maintain the listing of the Company's shares on Nasdaq;
the Company’s ability to consummate the Offering; the anticipated use of proceeds from the Offering; and those risks and uncertainties
discussed from time to time in our reports and other public filings with the SEC. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update
or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
