The selling stockholders named in this prospectus may use this prospectus to offer and resell from time to time up to 5,682,765 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), which are comprised of (i) 2,758,624 shares (the “Shares”) of our Common Stock issued in a private placement on February 1, 2021 (the “Private Placement”), pursuant to a certain Securities Purchase Agreement by and among us and certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), dated as of January 28, 2021 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), (ii) 2,758,624 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of the common warrants (the “Common Warrants”) issued in the Private Placement, pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and (iii) 165,517 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”) issuable upon the exercise of the placement agent warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) we issued to certain selling stockholders as the designees of H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) on February 1, 2021, as part of Wainwright’s compensation for serving as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement.

 

We refer to the Common Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants collectively as the “Warrants.”

 

The Shares and Common Warrants were issued to the Purchasers in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Regulation D (Rule 506) thereunder. Each Purchaser represented that it was an “accredited investor” (as defined by Rule 501 under the Securities Act). We are registering the offer and resale of the Shares and the Common Warrant Shares to satisfy a provision in a certain registration rights agreement, dated January 28, 2021 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to register the resale of the Shares and the Common Warrant Shares.

 

In addition, the Placement Agent Warrants were issued to Wainwright’s designees in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.

 

Any shares of Common Stock subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and acquired by the selling stockholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders named in this prospectus, or their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, may offer or resell the shares from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of shares of Common Stock offered hereby, and all selling and other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, see “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CGIX.” On January 29, 2021, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $4.00 per share.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. These risks are discussed in this prospectus under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 3 and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the Form S-4, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future.

Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. In any case, the value of the securities offered by means of this prospectus could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain information set forth in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, that are intended to be covered by the “safe harbor” created by those sections. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seek,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “strategy”, “future”, “likely” or other comparable terms and references to future periods. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference regarding our strategies, prospects, financial condition, operations, costs, plans and objectives are forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements we make regarding expectations for revenues, cash flows and financial performance, the anticipated results of our development efforts and the timing for receipt of required regulatory approvals and product launches.

 

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

●       the expected benefits of, and potential value, including synergies, created by, the proposed “Merger” transaction between the Company and StemoniX, Inc. (“StemoniX”) for the stockholders of CGI;

●       likelihood of the satisfaction of certain conditions to the completion of the Merger, and whether and when the Merger will be consummated;

●       CGI’s ability to control and correctly estimate its operating expenses and its expenses associated with the Merger;

●       the Company’s ability to adapt its business for future developments in light of the global outbreak of COVID-19, which continues to rapidly evolve;

●       the Company’s ability to achieve profitability by increasing sales of the Company’s preclinical CRO services focused on oncology and immuno-oncology;

●       the Company’s ability to raise additional capital to meet its liquidity needs;

●       the Company’s ability to execute on its marketing and sales strategy for its preclinical research services and gain acceptance of its services in the market;

●       the Company’s ability to keep pace with rapidly advancing market and scientific developments;

●       the Company’s ability to satisfy U.S. (including FDA) and international regulatory requirements with respect to its services;

●       the Company’s ability to maintain its present customer base and obtain new customers;

●       competition from preclinical CRO services companies, many of which are much larger than the Company in terms of employee base, revenues and overall number of customers and related market share;

●       the Company’s ability to maintain the Company’s clinical and research collaborations and enter into new collaboration agreements with highly regarded organizations in the field of oncology so that, among other things, the Company has access to thought leaders in advanced preclinical and translational science;

●       potential product liability or intellectual property infringement claims;

●       the Company’s dependency on third-party manufacturers to supply it with instruments and specialized supplies;

●       the Company’s ability to attract and retain a sufficient number of scientists, clinicians, sales personnel and other key personnel with extensive experience in oncology and immuno-oncology, who are in short supply;

●       the Company’s ability to obtain or maintain patents or other appropriate protection for the intellectual property in its proprietary tests and services;

●       the Company’s ability to effectively manage its international businesses in Australia and Europe, including the expansion of its customer base and volume of new contracts in these markets;

●       the Company’s dependency on the intellectual property licensed to the Company or possessed by third parties;

●       the Company’s ability to adequately support future growth; and

●       other risks and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s Form S-4 filed on October 16, 2020 and annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as updated in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and other reports, as applicable, the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus.

 

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. You should read this prospectus and the documents referenced herein or therein and filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, merger, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may undertake. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

All shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the accounts of the selling stockholders, and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these shares of Common Stock. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.

Selling stockholders

 

Up to 5,682,765 shares of our Common Stock are currently being offered by the selling stockholders.

 

Private Placement

 

On January 28, 2021, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which we issued and sold to the Purchasers in the Private Placement an aggregate of (i) 2,758,624 shares of Common Stock and (ii) accompanying Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,758,624 shares of Common Stock, at a combined purchase price of $3.625 per Share and accompanying Common Warrant to purchase one share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million. The Private Placement closed on February 1, 2021.

 

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per share. The Common Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until August 3, 2026. A holder of a Common Warrant may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Common Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. If at any time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement under the Securities Act registering the resale of the Common Warrant Shares by the selling shareholders, the Common Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a cashless exercise according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants.

 

In connection with the Private Placement, we entered into the Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers, pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 to register for resale the Shares and the Common Warrants Shares by February 2, 2021 at 9:30 a.m., New York Time. We have also agreed to cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act by the 60th day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (or by the 90th day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement if there is a review of the registration statement by the SEC). In addition, we agreed that, upon the registration statement being declared effective, we will use best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the selling stockholders have sold all of the Shares and the Common Warrant Shares or (ii) such shares may be resold by the selling stockholders pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without any public information requirements or volume or manner of sale limitations.

 

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are registering the Shares and the Common Warrant Shares in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer such shares for resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of their shares in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or pursuant to another effective registration statement covering those shares.

 

Wainwright acted as the exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement. Pursuant to a certain engagement letter, dated September 18, 2020, as amended, we issued to the designees of Wainwright Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 165,517 shares of Common Stock, equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Shares. The Placement Agent Warrants are exercisable immediately, have an exercise price of $4.5313 per share (equal to 125% of the offering price per Share and accompanying Common Warrant), and terminate on August 3, 2026. A holder of a Placement Agent Warrant may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Placement Agent Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. If at any time of exercise, there is no effective registration statement under the Securities Act registering the resale of the Placement Agent Warrant Shares by the selling shareholders, then the Placement Agent Warrants may also be exercised, in whole or in part, by means of a cashless exercise according to a formula set forth in the Placement Agent Warrants.

Information About Selling Stockholder Offering

 

The shares of Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those previously issued to the selling stockholders, and those issuable to the selling stockholders, upon the exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of Common Stock, see “—Private Placement” above. We are registering the shares of Common Stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the ownership of the shares of Common Stock by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, as of February 1, 2021, assuming exercise of the securities convertible into shares of Common Stock held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.

 

The third column lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the Shares issued to the selling stockholders in the “—Private Placement” described above and (ii) the maximum number of Common Warrant Shares. In addition, this prospectus covers the maximum number of the Placement Agent Warrant Shares. The table below assumes that the outstanding Warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The fifth column lists the percentages of shares of Common Stock owned by the selling stockholders after this offering, taking account of any limitations on exercise set forth in the applicable convertible securities.

Under the terms of the Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each selling stockholder of the shares of Common Stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock covered hereby on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares of Common Stock are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  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 stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares of Common Stock 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 stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock 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 stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) 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 shares of Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares of Common Stock. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus, which shares of Common Stock such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders 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 shares of Common Stock may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares of Common Stock have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares 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 shares 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 Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders 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 Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION
ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that we may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative (other than an action by us or in our right) by reason of the fact that he is or was our director, officer, employee or agent, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Section 145 further provides that we similarly may indemnify any such person serving in any such capacity who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by is or in our right to procure judgment in our favor, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

11

 

 

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our directors and officers whereby we have agreed to indemnify those directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

 

We have director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities our directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to us, including matters arising under the Securities Act. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers who, by reason of the fact that he or she is one of our officers or directors of our company, is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, related to their board role with the company.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. 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, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

 

Our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our amended and restated bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers. These agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors and executive officers.

 

Except as set forth elsewhere in this prospectus, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

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

Item 17. 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:

 

  a. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
  b. 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
  c. 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 (1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(c) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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 the registration statement.

 

  2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
     
  3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
     
  4. That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

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

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

 

  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.
     
  C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
