We operate in the highly competitive specialty retail business. We are a designer, distributor, wholesaler, and retailer of women’s and men’s intimate apparel, as well as women’s swimwear. Our merchandise is sold through company-owned retail stores in Australia and New Zealand; through online channels; and through wholesale partners in Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Europe.

 

We have seven reportable segments:

 

  Australia Retail : This segment covers retail and outlet stores located in Australia.
     
  New Zealand Retail : This segment covers retail and outlet stores located in New Zealand.
     
  Australia Wholesale : This segment covers the wholesale of intimates apparel to customers based in Australia.
     
  New Zealand Wholesale : This segment covers the wholesale of intimates apparel to customers based in New Zealand.

For instance, blockchain technology might be used in the future to create highly efficient end-to-end operations from suppliers to consumers and also to provide low cost trade finance for market participants through blockchain trading platforms. However, we have not yet established the feasibility of, or taken any steps to progress the use of, blockchain technology in our business.

Our Strengths

 

We believe the following competitive strengths contribute to our leading market position and differentiate us from our competition:

 

Distinct, Well-Recognized Brands

 

Our iconic brands, including Heidi Klum Intimates and Swimwear and Frederick’s of Hollywood Intimates and Swimwear, have come to represent a unique lifestyle across its targeted customers. Our brands allow us to target markets across the economic spectrum, across demographics and across the world. We believe our flagship brands and prominent, highly-recognized creative directors provide us with a competitive advantage.

 

In-Store Experience and Store Operations

 

We view our customers’ in-store experience as an important vehicle for communicating the image of each brand. We utilize visual presentation of merchandise, in-store marketing and our sales associates to reinforce the image represented by the brands. Our in-store marketing is designed to convey the principal elements and personality of each brand. The store design, furniture, fixtures and music are all carefully planned and coordinated to create a unique shopping experience. Every brand displays merchandise uniformly to ensure a consistent store experience, regardless of location. Store managers receive detailed plans designating fixture and merchandise placement to ensure coordinated execution of the company-wide merchandising strategy. Our sales associates and managers are a central element in creating the atmosphere of the stores by providing a high level of customer service.

Product Development, Sourcing and Logistics

 

We believe a large part of our success comes from frequent and innovative product launches, as well as launches of new collections from our existing brands. Our merchant, design and sourcing teams have a long history of bringing innovative products to our customers. Our key vendor partners are industry leaders in both innovation and social responsibility. We work closely together to form a world class supply chain that is dynamic and efficient.

 

Highly Experienced Leadership Team

 

Our management team is led by Justin Davis-Rice, Executive Chairman, who joined Bendon in 2011 and is responsible for leading our revenue growth. Prior to joining Bendon, Mr. Davis-Rice co-founded Pleasure State. Anna Johnson, Chief Executive Officer, brings to us a track record of over 25 years’ experience driving growth across a number of industries, including consumer electronics, outdoor adventure and intimate apparel. The rest of our senior management team has a wealth of retail and business experience at Gazal, Specialty Fashion Group, and Pleasure State. We have developed a strong and collaborative culture aligned around our goals to create the most sensual, functional and comfortable lingerie and underwear for women and men all over the world.

Ms. Hochman’s resignation was for personal reasons, and was not due to any disagreement with us or our management on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices (financial or otherwise).

 

In March 2019, we issued 1,400,000 Consultant Shares and 1,400,000 Consultant Warrants to a service provider in exchange for services (the “March Consultant Issuance”). The Consultant Warrants have an exercise price of US$0.50 and expire two years from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares covered by the Consultant Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and certain other transactions affecting the share capital as a whole.

On March 27, 2019, we closed on the following share issuances (the “March Financing Issuances”).

 

  (1) NZ$6.60 million/US$4.50 million related to the issue of 11,248,415 Vendor Shares to trade creditors in satisfaction of trade payables due to them, at an effective per share price of US$0.40.
     
  (2) NZ$1.25 million/US$0.85 million related to the issue of 2,119,178 Ordinary Shares to the holder of one of our outstanding promissory notes in the amount of US$847,671, at an effective per share price of US$0.40 per share.
     
  (3) NZ$1.69 million/US$1.15 million related to the issue of 4,510,588 Ordinary Shares to investors in a private placement at a share price of US$0.255. The investors also received warrants (the “Other March Warrants”) to purchase 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares for which they had subscribed. The Other March Warrants have an exercise price of US$0.306 and expire two years from the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of shares covered by the Other March Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and certain other transactions affecting the share capital as a whole.
     
  (4) NZ$4.05 million/US$2.75 million relating to the issue of 10,784,313 March Placement Shares to certain accredited investors at an agreed per share price of US$0.255, except that, to the extent an investor would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares after the closing, we agreed to issue the investors a March Pre-Funded Warrant in lieu of such shares. Each investor also received a March Investment Warrants to purchase 100% of the number of Ordinary Shares for which it had agreed to subscribe. As a result, we issued 3,914,846 March Placement Shares, March Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 6,869,467 Ordinary Shares and March Investment Warrants to purchase 10,784,313 Ordinary Shares to the investors at the closing. The March Investment Warrants have an exercise price of US$0.306 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The March Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of US$0.01 per share and expire five years from the date of issuance. The exercise price and number of shares covered by the March Warrants are subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock combinations and certain other transactions affecting the share capital as a whole, as well as for subsequent equity issuances occurring prior to July 16, 2019, subject to certain exceptions. If the exercise price of the March Warrants is higher than the last closing bid price of the Ordinary Shares, at any time starting on June 16, 2019, the March Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis for a number of shares equal to the Black-Scholes value of the portion of the warrant being exercised (as calculated in accordance with the March Warrants), divided by the closing bid price as of two business days prior to the exercise date (but not less than US$0.10). The March Warrants may not be exercised to the extent the holder and its affiliates would beneficially own more than 9.9% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares after such exercise.

 

On April 2, 2019, the board of directors appointed Anna Johnson as our Chief Executive Officer. Previously Ms Johnson was Chief Executive Officer of Bendon Limited, the main operating entity within the Company. In connection with Ms. Johnson’s appointment, Justin Davis-Rice was appointed as Executive Chairman and resigned as our Chief Executive Officer.

 

Effective on May 13, 2019, we completed a private placement of a Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to St. George Investments LLC (the “Noteholder”) for a purchase price of US$3,000,000, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “NSPA”) of even date (the “May Note Issuance”). Pursuant to the NSPA, the Note was sold with an original issue discount of the US$300,000 and we paid US$20,000 of the Noteholder’s expenses, which amount was added to the principal balance of the Note. Accordingly, the Note had an initial principal balance of US$3,320,000. The NSPA includes certain customary representations and warranties and covenants. In addition, we agreed that, so long as the Note is outstanding, we will not issue any debt instrument or incur any debt, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for any debt incurred from a bank. The Note accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounded daily, and matures on November 13, 2020. We have the right to prepay the Note, subject to a 15% premium. The Note is secured by a second priority security interest in all our assets and is subordinated to the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility with the Bank of New Zealand (the “Bank” or “BNZ”). The Noteholder has the right to convert the Note into Naked Ordinary Shares at a conversion price of US$0.90 per share, subject to adjustment for subdivisions or combinations of the Ordinary Shares. The Noteholder also has the right, beginning on December 13, 2019, to cause us to redeem any portion of the Note, up to a maximum of US$400,000 per month.

The investor also received warrants to purchase 1,000,000 Naked Ordinary Shares.

On June 11, 2019, we announced that we had appointed David Anderson to become our new Chief Financial Officer. Previously, Mr. Anderson served as Head of Finance for Goodman Fielder, one of the largest consumer goods companies in New Zealand, where he oversaw all financial aspects of the business and led numerous acquisitions. Mr. Anderson will succeed Howard Herman, our current Chief Financial Officer, after the filing with the SEC of certain amendments to our existing registration statements, but no later than June 20, 2019. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Herman is resigning from all positions held by him with our company.

 

Our senior secured credit facility with the Bank matures on August 31, 2019 and discussions are continuing to extend the facility beyond that point. As at October 31, 2018, there was a breach in minimum gross EBITDA ratio. As at January 31, 2019, there was a breach of the minimum Gross EBITDA ratio and a breach of the inventory and receivables ratio. The Bank has advised that they are currently taking these breaches under review.

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are eligible, and have elected, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation (to the extent applicable to a foreign private issuer).

 

We could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering. However, if our annual gross revenue is US$1.07 billion or more, or our non-convertible debt issued within a three year period exceeds US$1 billion, or the market value of our Ordinary Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds US$700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the last day of that fiscal year.

 

Foreign Private Issuer

 

We are a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, and we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our Ordinary Shares.

 

 

  5  
 

 

 

The Nasdaq Listing Rules allow foreign private issuers, such as us, to follow home country corporate governance practices (in our case Australian) in lieu of the otherwise applicable Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. In accordance with this exception, we follow Australian corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference. See “ Where You Can Find Additional Information ” on page 19.

 

Risks Affecting Our Company

 

In evaluating an investment in our securities, you should carefully read this prospectus and especially consider the factors incorporated by reference in the section titled “ Risk Factors ” commencing on page 8.

 

Background of the Offering

 

On June 19, 2018, we consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated as of May 25, 2017 and amended on July 26, 2017, February 21, 2018, March 19, 2018 and April 23, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among our company, Naked, Bendon, Naked Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours (“Merger Sub”), and Bendon Investments Ltd., a New Zealand company that at the time was the owner of a majority of the outstanding shares of Bendon (the “Principal Shareholder”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) we undertook a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which all of the shareholders of Bendon exchanged all of the outstanding ordinary shares of Bendon for our Ordinary Shares, and (ii) immediately thereafter, the parties effectuated a merger of Merger Sub and Naked, with Naked surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ours and the Naked stockholders receiving our Ordinary Shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Naked (the “Merger” and together with the Reorganization, the “Transactions”).

 

Pursuant to our financing plan prior to the consummation of the Transactions, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain investors for the purchase and sale of Ordinary Shares and warrants to purchase additional ordinary shares in a private placement (the “PIPE Transaction”). The warrants entitle the holders to purchase Ordinary Shares at a weighted average exercise price of US $5.62 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time for periods of between one and five years. The number of Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of the outstanding warrants and exercise price of such warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share split, bonus issue, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Additionally, if the resale of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not covered by an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration at any time after December 19, 2018, the holder of such warrants shall be afforded cashless exercise rights. With respect to warrants to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 Ordinary Shares, if certain trading and market price conditions are met, then we may call for cancellation of all or any portion of such warrants for which a notice of exercise has not yet been delivered to us, for consideration equal to US $0.01 per warrant.

 

We agreed to register for resale 1,600,000 of the Ordinary Shares sold in the PIPE Transaction, as well as 800,000 of the Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants sold in the PIPE Transaction. We are also registering for resale certain additional shares issued in the PIPE Transaction and underlying warrants issued in the PIPE Transaction, as well as other additional shares held by our shareholders from prior to the PIPE Transaction. As a result, after accounting for shares known by us to already have been sold by the Selling Shareholders, an aggregate of 9,570,708 Ordinary Shares and an aggregate of an additional 1,293,892 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants are being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our Ordinary Shares, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and those described under “Risk Factors” in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC, together with the other information included in this prospectus and incorporated by reference herein from our filings with the SEC. If any of such risks or uncertainties occurs, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations. As a result, the trading price of our Ordinary Shares could decline and you could lose all or a part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to the Offering

 

Sales by the Selling Shareholders of the Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus could adversely affect the trading price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

We are registering for resale up to 9,570,708 Ordinary Shares and up to 1,293,892 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants, which together represent approximately 18.3 % of our outstanding Ordinary Shares, on a fully-diluted basis. The resale of all or a substantial portion of the Ordinary Shares registered hereby in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could cause the market price of our Ordinary Shares to decrease and may make it more difficult for us to sell Ordinary Shares in the future at a time and upon terms that we deem appropriate.

 

We do not intend to pay any dividends on our Ordinary Shares at this time.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares to date. The payment of cash dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the future will be dependent upon our revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition, as well as the limitations on dividends and distributions that exist under the laws and regulations of Australia, and will be within the discretion of our board of directors. It is the present intention of our board of directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board of directors does not anticipate declaring any dividends on our Ordinary Shares in the foreseeable future. As a result, any gain you will realize on our Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares obtained upon exercise of our warrants) will result solely from the appreciation of such shares.

 

We may issue additional securities in the future, which may result in dilution to our shareholders.

 

As of June 18 , 2019, we had 31,286,368 Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding warrants, including 1,293,892 Ordinary Shares underlying warrants registered hereby , and 2,968,433 Ordinary Shares subject to outstanding convertible promissory notes (assuming all outstanding principal and interest thereon through such date is converted at the initial conversion price of $0.90 per share, without regard to any limitations on such conversion) . In addition, we are not restricted from issuing additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares. Because we may need to raise additional capital in the future to operate and/or expand our business, we may conduct additional equity offerings. To the extent our outstanding options and warrants are exercised or we conduct additional equity offerings, additional Ordinary Shares will be issued, which may result in dilution to our shareholders. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

 

Nasdaq may delist our Ordinary Shares from quotation on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to sell and purchase our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the trading symbol “NAKD.” However, on February 5, 2019, we received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our Ordinary Shares had been below the minimum of US$1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). We will be afforded 180 calendar days (until August 5, 2019) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, the bid price for our Ordinary Shares must close at US$1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The notification letter also states that in the event we do not regain compliance within the 180 day period, we will be eligible for additional time if we meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and notify Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during such second compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the allotted period, or that we will be able to maintain compliance with the other continued listing requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

  8  
 

 

If our Ordinary Shares are not listed on Nasdaq at any time after this offering, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
     
  reduced liquidity;
     
  a determination that our Ordinary Shares are a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our shares to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Ordinary Shares ;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we are permitted and expect to follow certain home country corporate governance practices (in our case Australian) in lieu of certain Nasdaq requirements applicable to domestic issuers and we are permitted to file less information with the SEC than a company that is not a foreign private issuer. This may afford less protection to holders of our securities.

 

As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, Nasdaq allows us to follow home country governance practices (in our case Australian) in lieu of the otherwise applicable Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. In accordance with this exception, we follow Australian corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference. See “ Where You Can Find Additional Information .” In particular, we will follow Australian law and corporate governance practices with respect to the composition of our board and quorum requirements applicable to shareholder meetings. These differences may result in a board that is more difficult to remove as well as less shareholder approvals required generally. We will also follow Australian law instead of the Nasdaq requirement to obtain shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with a change of control, certain acquisitions, private placements of securities, or the establishment or amendment of certain stock option, purchase, or other equity compensation plans or arrangements. These differences may result in less shareholder oversight and requisite approvals for certain acquisition or financing related decisions or for certain company compensation related decisions. The Australian home country practices described above may afford less protection to holders of our securities than that provided under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are based on current expectations, assumptions, and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been assumed or anticipated. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those risks described from time to time in our SEC filings and those risk factors described under the heading “ Risk Factors .” Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the securities under this prospectus. However, we could receive up to US$4,852,095 in gross proceeds if the warrants held by three of the Selling Shareholders are exercised for cash. Any amounts we receive from such exercises will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The Selling Shareholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of our securities set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to “Selling Shareholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors, and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Shareholders’ interests in our securities other than through a public sale.

 

The Selling Shareholders acquired the Ordinary Shares offered hereby (or the warrants pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares offered hereby are issuable) as described in “ Prospectus Summary – Background of the Offering ” above.

 

We have registered the resale of the securities included in this prospectus in order to permit such Selling Shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. In accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, this prospectus covers the resale of (i) the Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Shareholders and (ii) the maximum number of Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by three of the Selling Shareholders. Because the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of our warrants are subject to adjustments under certain circumstances and permit, in certain circumstances, “cashless” exercise, the number of shares that will actually be issuable upon any exercise thereof may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

 

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus:

 

  the name of each Selling Shareholder for whom we are registering Ordinary Shares;
     
  the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholders prior to the offering;
     
  the number of outstanding Ordinary Shares, the number of Ordinary Shares underlying warrants, and the total number of Ordinary Shares offered for resale to the public by each Selling Shareholder; and
     
  the number of Ordinary Shares and the percentage of Ordinary Shares to be beneficially owned by each Selling Shareholder after the offering (assuming all of the Ordinary Shares are sold by such Selling Shareholder).

 

This table is prepared solely based on information supplied to us by the listed Selling Shareholders and any Schedules 13D or 13G filed by the Selling Shareholders with the SEC, and assumes the sale of all of the securities offered hereby. The Selling Shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See the disclosure under the heading “ Plan of Distribution ” elsewhere in this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders identified in the table below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date of this prospectus in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the Selling Shareholders may change from time to time and, if necessary and required, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the securities held by the Selling Shareholders covered by this prospectus to permit the resale of those securities from time to time after the date of this prospectus.

 

The Selling Shareholders, which as used herein includes the pledgees, donees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors, and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Shareholders’ interests in our securities other than through a public sale, may, from time to time, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any or all of their securities or interests in such securities on any stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the securities are traded, or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the securities or interests therein:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
     
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
     
  privately negotiated transactions;
     
  settlement of short sales;
     
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
     
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the subscriber of securities, from the subscriber) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of our securities or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

  17  
 

 

The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents that participate in the sale of the securities or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions, or profit they earn on any resale of the securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling Shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each Selling Shareholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company will pay the fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify certain of the Selling Shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Shareholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect, or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect.

 

The securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Ordinary Shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Ordinary Shares by the Selling Shareholders or any other person.

 

We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Shareholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each subscriber at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 

Our Ordinary Shares are registered under the Exchange Act and trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “NAKD”. Our warrants are not currently registered under the Exchange Act and there has been no public market for our warrants. We do not intend to register our warrants under the Exchange Act.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form. The transfer agent for our Ordinary Shares is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

EXPERTS

 

The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended January 31, 2019 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report (which contains an explanatory paragraph relating to Naked Brand Group’s ability to continue as a going concern as described in Note 2 to the financial statements) of PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

 

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are an Australian company and our executive offices are located outside of the United States. Certain of our directors and officers and some of the experts in this prospectus reside outside the United States. In addition, a substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our directors, officers and experts are located outside of the United States. As a result, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon us or any of these persons. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside of the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against us or these persons in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is substantial doubt that the courts of Australia would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws.

These periodic reports and other information are available on the website of the SEC referred to above.

Those proxy statements are not expected to conform to Schedule 14A of the proxy rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. In addition, as a “foreign private issuer”, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act relating to short swing profit reporting and liability.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

 

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

We must indemnify current and past directors and other executive officers of the Company on a full indemnity basis and to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities incurred by the director or officer as a result of their holding office in the Company or a related body corporate.

 

We may also, to the extent permitted by law, purchase and maintain insurance, or pay or agree to pay a premium for insurance, for each director and officer against any liability incurred by the director or officer as a result of their holding office in the Company or a related body corporate.

 

Under the Corporations Act, a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person against any liabilities incurred as an officer or auditor of the company if it is a liability:

 

  (a) owed to the company or a related body corporate;
     
  (b) for a pecuniary penalty or compensation order made in accordance with the Corporations Act; or
     
  (c) that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate and did not arise out of conduct in good faith.

 

In addition, a company or related body corporate must not indemnify a person against legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or auditor of the company if the costs are incurred in:

 

  (a) defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability of the type described above;
     
  (b) in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty;
     
  (c) in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian corporate regulator or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found to have been established; or
     
  (d) in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the Court denies the relief.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

Item 9. Exhibits.

 

The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein are listed in the Exhibit Index below.

 

Item 10. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

  II- 1  
 

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

 

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

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

 

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act or Item 8.A of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided , however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to the date of first use.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

 

  II- 2
