to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (the &ldquo;Company,&rdquo; &ldquo;we,&rdquo;
&ldquo;us,&rdquo; or &ldquo;our&rdquo;) is offering an additional $6,500,000 aggregate principal amount of our Series B-2 senior convertible
notes due 2027, or the Notes. We are also offering by this prospectus supplement shares of our common stock issuable from time to time
upon conversion or otherwise under the Notes (including shares that may be issued in payment of interest). The Notes are being sold pursuant
to a securities purchase agreement, or the Securities Purchase Agreement, among us and the investors in the Notes, dated as of May 15,
2025, as amended, pursuant to which we may issue such Notes. We previously issued to the investors in May 2025 $10,000,000 of Series
B-1 senior convertible notes due 2027.</FONT></P>

Notes will not bear interest except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, interest will accrue
on the Notes at an interest rate of 13% per annum. Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the Notes will mature on the twenty-four month
anniversary of the issuance date at a premium of 13% to the face value of the Notes (the &ldquo;Redemption Value&rdquo;). At any time
after the issuance date, the Notes are convertible, in whole or in part, and subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, at
the option of the holders, into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.72 (the &ldquo;Fixed Conversion Price&rdquo;).
The Fixed Conversion Price is subject to customary adjustments upon any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization
or similar events. Starting on the closing date, the Notes amortize in installments and we will make monthly payments on the first trading
day of each monthly anniversary commencing on the closing date through the maturity date, payable in cash or shares of common stock.
Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, we may prepay outstanding Notes upon not less than 20 trading days&rsquo; written notice
by paying an amount equal to the portion of the Notes being redeemed at a 12.5% premium. The Notes will rank senior to the right to payment
of the holders of our unsecured debt, except as described herein.</FONT></P>

section is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations to a U.S. holder relating to (i) the purchase, ownership,
disposition and conversion of the Note, and (ii) the ownership and disposition of the common stock into which the Note may be converted.
This summary does not provide a complete analysis of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations. The information provided below
is based on existing U.S. federal income tax authorities, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with
retroactive effect. We cannot give any assurances that the Internal Revenue Service (the &ldquo;IRS&rdquo;) will not challenge one or
more of the tax consequences described herein, and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect
to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning, disposing of or converting the Note, or owning or disposing of the
common stock into which the Note may be converted. The summary generally applies only to U.S. holders of the Note who acquire the Note
offered in this offering on original issuance, and that hold the Note (or common stock into which the Note may be converted) as &ldquo;capital
assets&rdquo; within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &ldquo;Code&rdquo;) (generally,
property held for investment). This discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be
relevant to a particular beneficial owner in light of the beneficial owner&rsquo;s circumstances (for example, persons subject to the
alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, or a U.S. holder (as defined below) whose &ldquo;functional currency&rdquo; is not the
U.S. dollar). Also, this discussion is not intended to be wholly applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject
to special rules (such as partnerships and pass-through entities and investors in such entities, dealers in securities or currencies,
traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting, banks, thrifts, regulated investment companies, real estate
investment trusts, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, tax-deferred or other retirement accounts, certain former citizens or residents
of the United States, persons holding the Note or common stock as part of a hedging, conversion or integrated transaction or a straddle,
persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than 5% of our common stock, persons deemed to sell the Note or common stock under the constructive
sale provisions of the Code, or persons required under Section 451(b) of the Code to conform the timing of income accruals with respect
to the Note or common stock to their financial statements). Finally, the summary does not address the potential application of the Medicare
contribution tax on net investment income, the effects of the U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws or any applicable non-U.S., state
or local laws.</FONT></P>

used herein, the term &ldquo;U.S. holder&rdquo; means a beneficial owner of the Note or the common stock into which the Note may be converted
that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation,
or an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States
or any state of the United States, or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation

have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (y) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury
regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.</FONT></P>

upon conversion of the Note that is a partnership, and partners in such partnership, should consult their own tax advisors about the
U.S. federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning, disposing of, or converting the Note, and owning and disposing of the common
stock into which the Note may be converted.</FONT></P>

will be equal to the price at which the Note is sold. The stated redemption price at maturity of the Note is the sum of all payments
other than payments of &ldquo;qualified stated interest&rdquo;. &ldquo;Qualified stated interest&rdquo; includes stated interest that
is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually at a single fixed rate (with
certain exceptions for lower rates paid during some periods) or certain variable rates as described below. Interest is payable at a single

amount of OID includible in taxable income of a U.S. holder is the sum of the daily portions of OID with respect to the Note for each
day during the taxable year on which the Note is held. Generally, the daily portion of OID is determined by allocating to each day in
any &ldquo;accrual period&rdquo; a ratable portion of the OID allocable to such accrual period. A U.S. Holder may select the &ldquo;accrual
periods&rdquo; for the Note, which may be of any length, and may vary in length over the term of the Note, provided that each accrual
period is no longer than one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest occurs either on the first day or final day of
an accrual period. The amount of OID allocable to each accrual period is equal to the excess (if any) of (a) the product of the Note&rsquo;s
adjusted issue price at the beginning of such accrual period and its yield to maturity (determined on a constant yield basis, compounded
at the close of each accrual period and adjusted for the length of such accrual period), over (b) the amount of qualified stated interest,
if any, payable on the Note and allocable to such accrual period. The &ldquo;adjusted issue price&rdquo; of the Note at the beginning
of any accrual period generally is the issue price of the Note increased by the accrued OID allocable for all prior accrual periods and
reduced by any prior payment on the Note other than a payment of qualified stated interest. Under these rules, a U.S. holder generally
will have to include in taxable income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods.</FONT></P>

Note will be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes because the amount payable at maturity (at a premium of
13% of the face value of the Note) exceeds the issue price by more than a <I>de minimis</I> amount. The amount of OID on the Note will
be equal to such difference between the amount payable at maturity and the issue price of the Note. None of the payments on the Note
constitutes qualified stated interest. A U.S. holder, whether on the cash or accrual method for U.S. federal income tax purposes, must
include any OID in gross income (as ordinary income) as the OID accrues (on a constant yield to maturity basis), regardless of whether
cash attributable to that income is received at such time.</FONT></P>

may be required to make payments of additional interest to a U.S. holder of the Note (for example, if an Event of Default occurs). We
believe that there is only a remote possibility that we would be required to pay additional interest, or that if such additional interest
were required to be paid, it would be an incidental amount, and therefore we intend to take the position that this possible payment of
additional interest will not subject the Note to the special rules governing certain contingent payment debt instruments (which, if applicable,
would affect the timing, amount and character of income with respect to the Note).</FONT></P>

in certain circumstances, we might redeem the Note before its scheduled redemption date for an amount different than its general redemption

the Note under such circumstances in a manner that would subject the Note to the special rules governing such contingent payment debt
instruments.</FONT></P>

determination in these regards, while not binding on the IRS, is binding on a U.S. holder unless disclosure of a contrary position is
made in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Note is not treated
as a contingent payment debt instrument. If the Note were treated as a contingent payment debt instrument the tax consequences with respect
to the acquisition, holding, conversion, redemption and other disposition of the Note could be materially different. If, contrary to
our expectations, we pay additional interest, although not free from doubt, such additional interest should be taxable to a U.S. holder
as ordinary interest income at the time the additional interest accrues or is paid in accordance with the U.S. holder&rsquo;s regular
method of tax accounting. In the event we pay additional interest on the Note, U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the treatment of such amounts.</FONT></P>

U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss if the holder disposes of the Note in a sale, exchange, redemption or other
taxable disposition (other than conversion of the Note into shares of our common stock or into a combination of cash and shares of our
common stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described under &ldquo;&mdash;Conversion of the Note&rdquo; below).
The U.S. holder&rsquo;s gain or loss will equal the difference between the amount realized by the holder (other than amounts attributable
to accrued but unpaid interest) and the holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the Note. The amount realized by the U.S. holder will include the
amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other property received for the Note. The U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in the Note
generally will equal the amount the holder paid for the Note. The portion of any amount realized that is attributable to accrued interest
will not be taken into account in computing the U.S. holder&rsquo;s capital gain or loss. Instead, that portion will be taxed as ordinary
interest income as described above to the extent that the U.S. holder has not previously included the accrued interest in income. The
gain or loss recognized by the U.S. holder on the disposition of the Note generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holder
has held the Note for more than one year, or short-term capital gain or loss if the holder held the Note for one year or less, at the
time of the transaction. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate taxpayers generally is taxed at reduced rates. Short-term capital gain
is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.</FONT></P>

after a U.S. holder acquires any of our common stock upon a conversion of the Note, we make a distribution in respect of such common

generally will be treated as a dividend to the extent of such current or accumulated earnings and profits; and will be includible in
a U.S. holder&rsquo;s income at the time such holder is treated as receiving such distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If the distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of
the U.S. holder&rsquo;s investment, up to the U.S. holder&rsquo;s tax basis in its common stock, and any remaining excess will be treated
as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the common stock (as described above under &ldquo;&mdash;Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable
Disposition of Common Stock&rdquo;). If the U.S. holder is a U.S. corporation, it would generally be able to claim a dividends received
deduction on a portion of any distribution taxed as a dividend, provided that certain holding period and other requirements are satisfied.
Subject to certain exceptions, dividends received by non-corporate U.S. holders are taxed at the reduced rates applicable to long-term
capital gains, provided that certain holding period requirements are met.</FONT></P>

distribution would result, for example, if the conversion rate is adjusted to compensate a U.S. holder for distributions of cash or property
to our stockholders. If an event occurs that dilutes the interests of stockholders or increases the interests of a U.S. holders of the
Note and the conversion rate of the Note is not adjusted (or not adequately adjusted), this event also could result in a taxable constructive
distribution to the U.S. holder. Conversely, if an event occurs that dilutes the interests of a U.S. holder of the Note and the conversion

all changes in the conversion rate that result in a U.S. holder of the Note receiving more common stock on conversion, however, increase
such holder&rsquo;s proportionate interests in our earnings and profits or assets. For instance, a change in conversion rate could simply
prevent the dilution of the holder&rsquo;s interests upon a stock split or other change in capital structure. Changes of this type, if
made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula, are not treated as taxable constructive stock distributions. Any taxable
constructive distribution resulting from a change to, or failure to change, the conversion rate would be treated for U.S. federal income
tax purposes in the same manner as an actual distribution on our common stock paid in cash or other property, as described above under
&ldquo;&mdash;Distributions.&rdquo; Generally, a U.S. holder&rsquo;s adjusted tax basis in the Note will be increased to the extent of
any such taxable constructive distribution that is treated as a dividend. U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding
whether any taxable constructive dividends would be eligible for the dividends received deduction (for corporate holders) or the reduced
rates described above under &ldquo;&mdash;Distributions&rdquo; (for non-corporate holders), as the requisite applicable holding periods
might not be considered to be satisfied.</FONT></P>

offer our products and services to a wide-range of customers, including those in government and offshore energy, oil and gas, construction,
wind power and other industries. We are involved in the entire life cycle of product development, from product design through manufacturing,
testing, deployment, maintenance and upgrades, while working closely with partners across our supply chain. Our solutions are based on
technologies that enable autonomous, zero or low carbon emitting, and cost effective data collection, analysis, transportation and communication.
Our solutions are primarily suited to ocean and other offshore environments, and support generation of actionable intelligence on a standalone
basis or working with other data sources. We then channel the information we collect, and other communications, through control equipment
linked to edge computing and cloud hosting environments.</FONT></P>

to or pari passu with the subordinated debt securities or senior subordinated debt securities, as the case may be. The subordinated debt
securities will have a junior position to all of our senior debt and all of our senior subordinated debt. The senior debt securities
will be issued under a senior debt indenture, the senior subordinated debt securities will be issued under a senior subordinated debt
indenture, and the subordinated debt securities will be issued under a subordinated debt indenture. The indentures will be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the &ldquo;Trust Indenture Act&rdquo;). The type and terms of the debt securities
we offer under this prospectus may be limited by the other debt instruments to which we are a party at the time of the offering.</FONT></P>

indenture, senior subordinated indenture and subordinated indenture are substantially the same, except for certain covenants of ours
and provisions relating to subordination. You should read the indentures for provisions that may be important to you. The forms of indentures

law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging

certificate of incorporation currently provides that directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the
holders of 75% of our shares of capital stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote. However, our Board approved an amendment
to our bylaws that became effective on June 17, 2016, which permits our directors to be removed either for cause or without cause by
our stockholders. At our annual meeting of stockholders for the year ended April 30, 2016 that was held on October 21, 2016 (the &ldquo;2016
Annual Meeting&rdquo;), we submitted a proposal to stockholders seeking stockholder approval to amend our certificate of incorporation
to delete the reference to &ldquo;for cause&rdquo; in Section 6 of Article IX of the certificate of incorporation. This proposal to amend
the certificate of incorporation did not receive the required affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding shares
of common stock entitled to vote at the meeting, so the proposal did not pass. However, we also submitted a proposal to stockholders
at the 2016 Annual Meeting seeking approval to amend our certificate of incorporation to add a clause that specified that, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any provision in the Certificate of Incorporation that is contrary to a requirement of the Delaware General
Corporate Law (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) shall be read in conformity with the applicable requirement of the DGCL. This second proposal
only required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the 2016
Annual Meeting, and it passed.</FONT></P>

Board takes the position that under current Delaware law, the &ldquo;only for cause&rdquo; provision in the certificate of incorporation

and will not seek to enforce that provision of our certificate of incorporation relating to stockholder removal of directors only for
cause, as presently in effect. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, any vacancy on our Board, including a vacancy resulting
from an enlargement of our Board, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.</FONT></P>

Board has approved the adoption of a tax benefits preservation plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Agreement designed to protect
and preserve our tax assets primarily associated with net operating loss carryforwards (&ldquo;NOLs&rdquo;) that could potentially be
utilized in certain circumstances to offset our future taxable income and reduce its federal income tax liability.</FONT></P>

382 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes limitations on the future use of a company&rsquo;s NOLs if it undergoes an &ldquo;ownership
change.&rdquo; Our ability to benefit from its tax assets would be substantially limited by Section 382 if an &ldquo;ownership change&rdquo;
occurred. A company experiences an &ldquo;ownership change&rdquo; for tax purposes if the percentage of stock owned by one or a group
of its 5% stockholders (as defined for tax purposes) increases by more than 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period over
the lowest percentage of stock of such corporation owned by such stockholders at any time during that period.</FONT></P>

tax benefits preservation plan is similar to those adopted by numerous other public companies with significant NOLs. In order to protect
our NOLs from being limited or permanently lost under Section 382, the tax benefits preservation plan is intended to reduce the likelihood
of an unintended &ldquo;ownership change&rdquo; occurring through the buying and selling of our common stock. This is accomplished by
deterring any person or group from acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of our outstanding common stock without the approval
of the Board. Our tax benefits preservation plan does not, however, block anyone from buying or selling our common stock. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the tax benefits preservation plan will prevent an &ldquo;ownership change.&rdquo;</FONT></P>

purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability

long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such global security, such depositary or such
nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by such global security for all

beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by such global security registered
in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such securities in definitive form and will not be considered
the owners or holders thereof under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, purchase contract or unit agreement. Accordingly, each
person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for the global security and, if
such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights
of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, purchase contract or unit agreement. We understand that under existing
industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security desires to give
or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement, purchase contract or
unit agreement, the depositary for such global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to
give or take such action, and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such
action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.</FONT></P>

we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have any of the securities of a series represented by one or more global
