<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We are a provider of modular facilities (&ldquo;Modules&rdquo;).&nbsp;We
currently provide Modules made out of both code-engineered cargo shipping containers and wood for use as both permanent or temporary structures
for residential housing use and commercial use, including for health care facilities.&nbsp;Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Modules
we supplied were primarily for retail, restaurant and military use and were manufactured by third party suppliers using our proprietary
technology and design and engineering expertise, which modifies&nbsp;code-engineered&nbsp;cargo shipping containers and purpose-built
modules for use for safe and sustainable commercial, industrial and residential building. Since our acquisition in September 2020 of&nbsp;Echo
DCL, LLC (&ldquo;Echo&rdquo;), one of our key supply chain providers, we now have more control over the manufacturing process and have
increased our product offerings to add Modules&nbsp;made out of wood.&nbsp;&nbsp;In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we
began increasing our focus on providing our Modules as health care facilities for deployable medical response solutions.&nbsp;In February
2023, we entered into an agreement with The Peoples Health Care, in Glendale, California, working in conjunction with Teamsters Local
848, to deliver four Modules to provide medical services to union members.&nbsp;During 2021, through our subsidiary, Safe and Green Development
Corporation. (&ldquo;SG DevCorp&rdquo;)&nbsp;we also began to focus on acquiring property to build multi-family housing communities that
allows us to utilize the manufacturing services of Echo. SG&nbsp;DevCorp&nbsp;also has a minority interest in Norman Berry II Owners LLC
and JDI-Cumberland Inlet LLC. We intend to spin-out SG&nbsp;DevCorp&nbsp;as its own independent company. Our newest subsidiary, SG Environmental
Solutions Corp., formed in&nbsp;Delaware&nbsp;is focused on biomedical waste removal and will utilize a patented technology that it licenses
to shred and disinfect biomedical waste, rendering the waste disinfected, unrecognizable, and of no greater risk to the public health
than residential household waste.</P>

of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under
the heading &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and
discussed under the section entitled &ldquo;Risk Factors&rdquo; contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as may be updated
by subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety. The risks
described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable
economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial
performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends
in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could
be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.
Please also read carefully the section below entitled &ldquo;Forward-Looking Statements.&rdquo;</P>

Our bylaws generally regulate proposals of business and nominations for election of directors by stockholders. In general, Section 2.4
requires stockholders intending to submit proposals or nominations at a stockholders meeting to provide the Company with advance notice
thereof, including information regarding the stockholder proposing the business or nomination as well as information regarding the proposed
business or nominee. Section 2.4 provides a time period during which business or nominations must be provided to the Company that will
create a predictable window for the submission of such notices, eliminating the risk that the Company finds a meeting will be contested
after printing its proxy materials for an uncontested election and providing the Company with a reasonable opportunity to respond to nominations
and proposals by stockholders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We can issue securities in registered form or
in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have
securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee, depositary or warrant agent maintain for this
purpose as the &ldquo;holders&rdquo; of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons
who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as &ldquo;indirect
holders&rdquo; of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in
book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We may issue securities in book-entry form only,
as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities
registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate
in the depositary&rsquo;s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial
interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Only the person in whose name a security is registered
is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants.
Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments
on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the
payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have
made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As a result, investors in a global security will
not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial
institution that participates in the depositary&rsquo;s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities
are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">We may terminate a global security or issue securities
that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in &ldquo;street
name.&rdquo; Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution
that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains
at that institution.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">For securities held in street name, we or any
applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the
securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such trustee or depositary will make all payments on those
securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only
because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities
in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Our obligations, as well as the obligations of
any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations
to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case
whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global
form.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">For example, once we make a payment or give a
notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with
its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain
the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with
a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the legal holders, and
not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">A global security is a security that represents
one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities
will have the same terms.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Each security issued in book-entry form will be
represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that
we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable
prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued
in book-entry form.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">A global security may not be transferred to or
registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations
arise. We describe those situations below under &ldquo;&mdash;Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated.&rdquo; As
a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented
by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must
be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with
another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the
security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">If the prospectus supplement for a particular
security indicates that the security will be issued in global form only, then the security will be represented by a global security at
all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry
clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.</P>

deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.</P>

offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will
be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting
syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters
will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any option
to purchase additional shares or other option. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities
to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer
at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of
the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time
to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement,
naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Any underwriter may be granted an option to purchase
additional shares, and engage in, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation
M under the Exchange Act. An underwriter&rsquo;s option to purchase additional share involves sales in excess of the offering size, which
create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not
exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either
through exercise of option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are
purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to
be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.</P>

market makers on the Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital
Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the
commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and
must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest
independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker&rsquo;s bid, however, the passive
market maker&rsquo;s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market
price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued
at any time.</P>
