PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read together with, the more detailed information and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Before you decide to invest in our securities, you should read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the risk factors and the financial statements and related notes included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

Overview

 

Future FinTech is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company historically engaged in the production and sale of fruit juice concentrates (including fruit purees and fruit juices), fruit beverages (including fruit juice beverages and fruit cider beverages) in the PRC. Due to drastically increased production costs and tightened environmental laws in China, the Company had transformed its business from fruit juice manufacturing and distribution to a real-name blockchain based e-commerce platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology. The main business of the Company includes an online shopping platform, Chain Cloud Mall (CCM), which is based on blockchain technology; a cross-border e-commerce platform (NONOGIRL); a blockchain-based application incubator; and technical service and support for real name and blockchain based assets and their operating entities (DCON); and the application and development of blockchain-based e-commerce technology and financial technology. The Company is also expanding into financial services.

 

The Company currently has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: DigiPay FinTech Limited (“DigiPay,”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, and GlobalKey Shared Mall Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands (“GlobalKey Shared Mall”).

 

Our Business

 

Chain Cloud Mall adopts a “multi-vendor hosted stores + platform self-hosted stores” model. The platform supports various marketing methods, including point rewards programs, coupons, live webcasts, game interaction, and social media sharing. Besides the blockchain-powered features, CCM is also fully equipped with the same functions and services that other Chinese leading traditional e-commerce platforms provide.

 

Based on blockchain technology, CCM is established to transform the relationship between companies and consumers from traditional selling and buying relationship to a value-sharing relationship. The platform will fairly distribute the benefit of the entire mall to users who engaged in the promotion, development, and consumption based on their contributions to the platform. The members of CCM are not only consumers and entrepreneurs but also participants, promoters and beneficiaries. The CCM shared shopping mall platform is designed to be a block-chain based shopping mall for merchants and goods, not the exchange of digital currencies, and it only accepts payment from credit cards, Alipay and WeChat.  

 

NONOGIRL e-commerce platform was formally launched in July 2020. Currently, the Android version app of the NONOGIRL platform has been launched on Googleplay, Tencent Application Treasure, Xiaomi, OPPO, and VIVO application stores, and the IOS version app of the platform has been launched on Apple App Store. As of December 31, 2020, there were 30,170 registered users of the NONOGIRL platform, of which 12,620 were in China and 17,550 were outside of China.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the materialization of any of these risks. The trading price of our securities could decline due to the materialization of any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described in the documents incorporated herein by reference, including (i) our most recent annual report on Form 10-K which is on file with the SEC and is incorporated herein by reference, (ii) our most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, and (iii) other documents we file with the SEC that are deemed incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by risk factors contained in other Exchange Act reports that we file with the SEC, which will be subsequently incorporated herein by reference; by any other prospectus supplement; or by a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information,” “Incorporation By Reference” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Subject to certain limited exceptions set forth in the offering documents, we have agreed to use the net proceeds from this offering for growth capital and general working capital purposes. Our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering for growth capital and general working capital purposes. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and subject to any agreed upon contractual restrictions under the terms of the subscription agreements, you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

 

Because the price per share of our Common Stock being offered is higher than the book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Based on the offering price of $5.95 per share, if you purchase the Shares offered in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution per Share in the net tangible book value of the common stock.

 

Future sales or other dilution of our equity could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Sales of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants, units or any combination of the foregoing in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could negatively impact the price of our Common Stock. If one or more of our shareholders were to sell large portions of their holdings in a relatively short time, for liquidity or other reasons, the prevailing market price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

S-3

 

 

In addition, the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock, other equity-linked securities, including preferred stock or warrants or any combination of the securities pursuant to this prospectus will dilute the ownership interest of our common shareholders and could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

 

We may need to seek additional capital. If this additional financing is obtained through the issuance of equity securities or warrants to acquire equity securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant dilution upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of such securities.

  

Risks Related to Our Business Prospects

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, the pandemic quickly spread to many provinces, autonomous regions, and cities all over the China and other parts of the world. Substantially all of our revenues are generated in China. The Company’s results of operations have been materially negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during the first half of 2020. In early 2020, Chinese government took emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office buildings and facilities in China, which has materially adversely affected the Company’s business and services and results of operations. Our suppliers have negatively been affected, and could continue to be negatively affected in their ability to supply and ship products to our customers by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19 in China. Our customers that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may reduce their budgets to purchase products and services from us, which may materially adversely impact our revenue. The business operations of the third parties’ stores on our platform have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by any further outbreak or resurgence of COVID-19, which may negatively impact their operations and business, which may in turn adversely affect the business of our platform as a whole as well as our financial condition and operating results. Some of our customers, contractors, suppliers and other business partners are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which may not have strong cash flows or be well capitalized, and may be vulnerable to an epidemic outbreak and slowing macroeconomic conditions. Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the future in the event that we require additional capital. The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by the COVID-19 and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of its impacts. The Chinese and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain, which would seriously affect customer spending on our shopping mall. While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

The Company’s promotion strategy of the CCM Shopping Mall previously mainly relied on the training of members and distributors through meetings and conferences before the outbreak. Although China has already begun to recover from the outbreak of COVID-19, the Chinese government still put certain restriction on large gatherings. These restrictions made the promotion strategy for CCM Shopping Mall difficult to implement.

 

Consequently, our results of operations have been materially adversely affected. Any potential impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for growth capital and general working capital. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any specific purpose or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds from this offering. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds to us from this offering in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade and interest-bearing instruments.

Under the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, the Placement Agent has agreed to be our placement agent, on a reasonable best effort basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of our shares of common stock in this offering. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us and prospective investors. The Placement Agent Agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of our shares of common stock, and the Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the Placement Agent Agreement. Further, the Placement Agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering.

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

 

  may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and

 

  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

The Company

 

Overview 

 

Future FinTech is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida. The Company historically engaged in the production and sale of fruit juice concentrates (including fruit purees and fruit juices), fruit beverages (including fruit juice beverages and fruit cider beverages) in the PRC. Due to drastically increased production costs and tightened environmental laws in China, the Company had transformed its business from fruit juice manufacturing and distribution to a real-name blockchain based e-commerce platform that integrates blockchain and internet technology. The main business of the Company includes an online shopping platform, Chain Cloud Mall (CCM), which is based on blockchain technology; a cross-border e-commerce platform (NONOGIRL) which was formally launched in July 2020. Currently, the Android version app of the NONOGIRL platform has been launched on Googleplay, Tencent Application Treasure, Xiaomi, OPPO, and VIVO application stores, and the IOS version app of the platform has been launched on Apple App Store. As of September 30, 2020, there were 10,450 registered users of the NONOGIRL platform, of which 1,210 were in China and 9,240 were outside of China.; a blockchain-based application incubator; and technical service and support for real name and blockchain based assets and their operating entities (DCON); and the application and development of blockchain-based e-commerce technology and financial technology. The Company is also expanding into financial service business. On July 13, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Joy Rich Enterprises Limited (“Joy Rich”) to acquire 90% of the issued and outstanding shares of Nice Talent Asset Management Limited (“NTAM”), a Hong Kong-based asset management company, from Joy Rich. NTAM is licensed under the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (“SFC”) to carry out regulated activities in Type 4: Advising on Securities and Type 9: Asset Management. The transaction is expected to close before the end of December 2020 due to impact of Covid-19 outbreak which has delayed the approval process by the regulatory agency in Hong Kong.

  

Chain Cloud Mall adopts a “multi-vendor hosted stores + platform self-hosted stores” model. The platform supports various marketing methods, including point rewards programs, coupons, live webcasts, game interaction, and social media sharing. Besides the blockchain-powered features, CCM is also fully equipped with the same functions and services that other Chinese leading traditional e-commerce platforms provide.

 

Based on blockchain technology, CCM is established to transform the relationship between companies and consumers from traditional selling and buying relationship to a value-sharing relationship. The platform will fairly distribute the benefit of the entire mall to users who engaged in the promotion, development, and consumption based on their contributions to the platform. The members of CCM are not only consumers and entrepreneurs but also participants, promoters and beneficiaries. The CCM shared shopping mall platform is designed to be a block-chain based shopping mall for merchants and goods, not the exchange of digital currencies, and it only accepts payment from credit cards, Alipay and WeChat.  

  

The Company currently has three direct wholly-owned subsidiaries: DigiPay FinTech Limited (“DigiPay,”), a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Future FinTech (Hong Kong) Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, and GlobalKey Shared Mall Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of Cayman Islands (“GlobalKey Shared Mall”).

SkyPeople (China) has eleven subsidiaries in the PRC, which are mainly involved in the production and sales of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and other fruit-related products in the PRC and overseas markets. On February 27, 2020, SkyPeople BVI completed the transfer of its ownership of HeDeTang HK to New Continent International Co., Ltd. (the “Buyer”), an unrelated third party and a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands for a total price of RMB 0.6 million (approximately $85,714), pursuant to a Share Transfer Agreement entered into by the Seller and the Buyer on September 18, 2019 and approved at the special shareholders meeting of the Company on February 26, 2020. SkyPeople BVI had no operational assets or business after the transfer and the Company dissolved SkyPeople BVI on July 27, 2020.

(“HeDeTang Farm”) CCM Logistics owns the remaining 10% equity interest of HeDeTang Farm and 100% equity interest of GlobalKey Supply Chain Limited. On July 24, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to close the business operation of CCM Logistics and HeDeTang Farm. On November 12, 2020, CCM Network entered into an Equity Transfer Agreement with Xi’an Yishengkang Information Technology, Ltd. (“Xi’an Yishengkang”), an unrelated third party, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 90% of total issued and outstanding capital stock of HeDeTang Farm that it owned to Xi’an Yishengkang at RMB9,000 (approximately $1,324). On the same date, CCM Logistics entered into another Equity Transfer Agreement with an individual and unrelated third party, Liyuan Ying, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell 10% of its shares of total issued and outstanding capital stock of HeDeTang Farm that it owns to Liyuan Ying for RMB1,000 (approximately $147).

Pursuant to Chinese law and regulations, a foreign owned enterprise cannot apply for and hold a license for operation of certain e-commerce businesses. CCM Network is an indirectly wholly foreign owned enterprise of the Company. In order to comply with Chinese law and regulations, CCM Network agreed to provide E-commerce Tianjin an Exclusive Operation and Use Rights Authorization to operate and use the Chain Cloud Mall System owned by CCM Network.

 

The following is a summary of the currently effective contractual arrangements relating to E-commerce Tianjin.

 

Contractual Arrangements with Our Consolidated Affiliated Entity and Its Respective Shareholders

 

Our contractual arrangements with our VIE and their respective shareholders allow us to (i) exercise effective control over our VIE, (ii) receive substantially all of the economic benefits of our VIE, and (iii) have an exclusive option to purchase all or part of the equity interests in our VIE when and to the extent permitted by PRC law.

 

As a result of the contractual arrangements with our VIE, we are regarded as the primary beneficiary of our VIE, and we treat them and their subsidiaries as our consolidated affiliated entities under U.S. GAAP. We have consolidated the financial results of our VIE in our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Business

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. Beijing City, where our headquarters are located, is among the most affected areas in China. In early 2020, Chinese government took emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus, including quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office buildings and facilities in China.

Substantially all of our revenues are generated in China.  In response to the evolving dynamics related to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Company is following the guidelines of local authorities as it prioritizes the health and safety of its employees, contractors, suppliers and business partners. Our offices in China were closed and all of the Company’s employees worked from home from Chinese New Year at the end of January until late March 2020. The quarantines, travel restrictions, and the temporary closure of office buildings have negatively impacted our business. Our suppliers have negatively been affected, and could continue to be negatively affected in their ability to supply and ship products to our customers in case of any resurgence of COVID-19. Our customers that are negatively impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 may reduce their budgets to purchase products and services from us, which may materially adversely impact our revenue. The business operations of the third parties’ stores on our e-commerce platform have been and could continue to be negatively impacted by the outbreak, which may negatively impact their operations and business, which may in turn adversely affect the business of our platform as a whole as well as our financial condition and operating results. The outbreak has had and might continue to have disruption to our supply chain, logistics providers, customers or our marketing activities in case of any resurgence of COVID-19, which could materially adversely impact our business and results of operations, including causing our suppliers to cease manufacturing products for a period of time or materially delay delivery to us and our customers, which may also lead to loss of customers, as well as reputational, competitive and business harm to us. Some of our customers, contractors, suppliers and other business partners are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which may not have strong cash flows or be well capitalized, and may be vulnerable to an epidemic outbreak and slowing macroeconomic conditions. If the SMEs that we work with cannot weather the COVID-19 and the resulting economic impact, or cannot resume business as usual after a prolonged outbreak, our revenues and business operations may be materially and adversely impacted.

 

The global economy has also been materially negatively affected by the COVID-19 and there is continued severe uncertainty about the duration and intensity of its impacts. The Chinese and global growth forecast is extremely uncertain, which would seriously affect customer spending on our shopping mall.

 

While the potential economic impact brought by, and the duration of, COVID-19 may be difficult to assess or predict, a widespread pandemic could result in significant disruption of global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital, which could negatively affect our liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction resulting from the spread of COVID-19 could materially affect our business and the value of our common stock. 

 

Further, as we do not have access to a revolving credit facility, there can be no assurance that we would be able to secure commercial debt financing in the future in the event that we require additional capital. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to see us through the outbreak. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, outbreak-related instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

 

Consequently, our results of operations have been materially and adversely affected during the outbreak of COVID-19 in China. Any potential further impact to our results will depend on, to a large extent, future developments and new information that may emerge regarding the duration and severity of the COVID-19 and the actions taken by government authorities and other entities to contain the COVID-19 or treat its impact, almost all of which are beyond our control.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making any investment decision, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as in any applicable prospectus supplement, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

 

These risks could materially affect our business, results of operation or financial condition and affect the value of our securities. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified may also materially harm our business, operating results and financial condition and could result in a complete loss of your investment. You could lose all or part of your investment. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

Risks Related to Our Securities and the Offering

 

Future sales or other dilution of our equity could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Sales of our Common Stock, preferred stock, warrants, units or any combination of the foregoing in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could negatively impact the price of our Common Stock. If one or more of our shareholders were to sell large portions of their holdings in a relatively short time, for liquidity or other reasons, the prevailing market price of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

In addition, the issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, securities convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock, other equity-linked securities, including preferred stock or warrants or any combination of the securities pursuant to this prospectus will dilute the ownership interest of our common shareholders and could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

 

We may need to seek additional capital. If this additional financing is obtained through the issuance of equity securities or warrants to acquire equity securities, our existing shareholders could experience significant dilution upon the issuance, conversion or exercise of such securities.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive from the sale of our securities pursuant to this prospectus and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.

 

Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from any offerings under this prospectus, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Except as described in any prospectus supplement or in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you, the net proceeds received by us from our sale of the securities described in this prospectus will be added to our general funds and will be used for general corporate purposes. Our management might not apply the net proceeds from offerings of our securities in ways that increase the value of your investment and might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of such net proceeds. You may not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use such proceeds.

We may be deemed as an investment company, which could result in us being required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and becoming subject to the registration and other requirements of the 1940 Act.

 

We currently own minority ownership of Nova Realm City (“NRC”) and InUnion Chain Ltd. (“InUnion”).

 

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940: (a) Definitions

 

(1) When used in this subchapter, “investment company” means any issuer which—

 

(A) is or holds itself out as being engaged primarily, or proposes to engage primarily, in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities;

 

(B) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of issuing face-amount certificates of the installment type, or has been engaged in such business and has any such certificate outstanding; or

 

(C) is engaged or proposes to engage in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40 per centum of the value of such issuer’s total assets (exclusive of government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis.

 

(b) Exemption from provisions

 

Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(C) of subsection (a), none of the following persons is an investment company within the meaning of this subchapter:

 

(1) Any issuer primarily engaged, directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries, in a business or businesses other than that of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities.

 

We primarily engage in e-commerce businesses with our CCM shopping mall that we believe fall into the exemption quoted under (b)(1) above, and do not consider ourselves to be an investment company. If we were to be deemed an “Investment Company” which could result in us being required to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act and becoming subject to the registration and other requirements of the 1940 Act.

 

The 1940 Act and the rules thereunder contain detailed parameters for the organization and operations of investment companies. Among other things, the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder limit or prohibit transactions with affiliates, impose limitations on the issuance of debt and equity securities, prohibit the issuance of stock options and impose certain governance requirements. We intend to conduct our operations so that we will not be deemed to be an investment company under the 1940 Act, which could prevent us engaging in the business of investing, reinvesting, owning, holding, or trading in securities, and owns or proposes to acquire investment securities having a value exceeding 40 per centum of the value of our total assets. Also, if anything were to happen which would require the Company to register as an investment company under the 1940 Act, requirements imposed by the 1940 Act, including limitations on our capital structure, ability to transact business with affiliates and ability to compensate key employees, could have negatively impact on our business and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and may involve material risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “might,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate” and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and which may cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision or update of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. If we do update or correct one or more forward-looking statements, you should not conclude that we will make additional updates or corrections with respect thereto or with respect to other forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC and in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as may be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of debt, repurchases of common stock, capital expenditures, the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions, increasing our working capital and the financing of ongoing operating expenses and overhead.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following is a summary of our capital stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles of Incorporation”), our Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”), and applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act (the “FBCA”).

 

See “Where You Can Find More Information” elsewhere in this prospectus for information on where you can obtain copies of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, which have been filed with and are publicly available from the SEC.

Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the shareholders. Except if a greater plurality is required by the express requirements of law or our amended and restated articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of voting stock represented at a meeting of shareholders at which there shall be a quorum present shall be required to authorize all matters to be voted upon by our shareholders. According to our charter documents, holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive rights and are not entitled to cumulative voting rights.  There are no conversion or redemption rights or sinking funds provided for our shareholders.  Shares of our Common Stock share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors in its discretion from funds legally available for distribution as dividends.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities.  All of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Effect of Florida Affiliated Transactions and Anti-Takeover Statutes  

 

As a Florida corporation, the Company is subject to certain anti-takeover provisions that apply to public corporations under the FBCA. Pursuant to Section 607.0901 of the FBCA, a publicly held Florida corporation may not engage in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder for a period of three (3) years following the time that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless:

 

  such business combination or other extraordinary corporate transaction (including a transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder) is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the subject shareholder becomes an interested shareholder;

 

  upon consummation of such a business combination or extraordinary corporate transaction that resulted in the subject shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, such shareholder owned at least 85% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation at the time such transaction commenced, exclusive of shares owned by directors, officers and certain employee stock plans; or

 

  at or subsequent to the time the subject shareholder became an interested shareholder, such business combination or other extraordinary corporate transaction is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized by an affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares of the corporation (excluding shares held by the interested shareholder) at an annual or special meeting of shareholders, and not by written consent.

 

The above requirements do not apply to such business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an interested shareholder if:

 

  the corporation has not had more than 300 shareholders of record at any time during the three years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;

 

  the interested shareholder has owned at least 80% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares for at least three (3) years preceding the announcement date of any such business combination;

 

  the interested shareholder is the beneficial owner of at least 90% of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, exclusive of shares acquired directly from the corporation in a transaction not approved by a majority of the disinterested directors; or

 

  the consideration paid to the holders of the corporation’s voting stock is at least equal to certain fair price criteria.

 

An interested shareholder is generally defined as a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns more than 15% of a corporation’s outstanding voting shares.  The Company has not made an election in the Articles of Incorporation to opt out of Section 607.0901.

 

In addition, the Company is subject to Section 607.0902 of the FBCA, which prohibits the voting of shares in a publicly held Florida corporation that are acquired in a control share acquisition unless (i) the Board of Directors approved such acquisition prior to its consummation or (ii) after such acquisition, in lieu of prior approval by the Board of Directors, the holders of a majority of the corporation’s voting shares, exclusive of shares owned by officers of the corporation, employee directors or the acquiring party, approve the granting of voting rights as to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition. A control share acquisition is defined as an acquisition that immediately thereafter entitles the acquiring party to 20% or more of the total voting power in an election of directors.

 

Although the FBCA permits a corporation to opt out of these requirements, the Company has not elected to opt out, which may have the effect of making it more difficult for any person or group to acquire the Company or substantial amounts of the Company’s common stock, or engage in any “affiliated transaction,” including the acquisition of a substantial amount of the Company’s assets.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock had been issued or were outstanding. Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock by us could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company or other corporate action.

 

We will file as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation or amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation that describes the terms of any series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of that series of preferred stock. This description will include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) the title and stated value; (ii) the number of shares we are offering; (iii) the liquidation preference per share; (iv) the purchase price; (v) the dividend rate, period and payment date and method of calculation for dividends; (vi) whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate; (vii) the provisions for a sinking fund, if any; (viii) the provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights; (ix) whether the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, and, if applicable, the conversion price, or how it will be calculated, and the conversion period; (x) whether the preferred stock will be exchangeable into debt securities, and, if applicable, the exchange price, or how it will be calculated, and the exchange period; (xi) voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock; (x) preemptive rights, if any; (xi) restrictions on transfer, sale or other assignment, if any; (xii) a discussion of any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock; (xiii) the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; (xiv) any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs and (xv) any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the preferred stock.

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of Common Stock and/or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with Common Stock and/or preferred stock and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will file as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses, and the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

General

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants being offered, including:

 

  the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;
     
  the currency for which the warrants may be purchased;

 

10

 

 

  if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;
     
  if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
     
  in the case of warrants to purchase Common Stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;

 

  the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreements and the warrants;
     
  the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
     
  any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;
     
  the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire;
     
  the manner in which the warrant agreements and warrants may be modified;

  the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and
     
  any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

  

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including in the case of warrants to purchase Common Stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the Company in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the Company for warrant exercise.

 

If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue, in one more series, units consisting of Common Stock, preferred stock and/or warrants for the purchase of Common Stock and/or preferred stock in any combination. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

 

  the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be separately traded;
     
  the terms and conditions applicable to the units, including a description of the terms of any applicable unit agreement governing the units; and
     
  a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units.

  

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The securities covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

  directly to purchasers, through a specific bidding or auction process or otherwise; or

 

  through a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities. That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us, from the purchasers of the securities or from both us and the purchasers. Any underwriters, dealers, agents or other investors participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters,” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, and compensation and profits received by them on sale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting commissions, as that term is defined in the rules promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

Each time securities are offered by this prospectus, the prospectus supplement, if required, will set forth:

 

  the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities;

 

  the terms of the offering;

 

  any discounts concessions or commissions and other items constituting compensation received by the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents;

 

  any over-allotment option under which any underwriters may purchase additional securities from us; and

 

  any initial public offering price.

  

12

 

 

The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The distribution of securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, by means of one or more of the following transactions, which may include cross or block trades:

 

  transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded;

 

  in the over-the-counter market;

 

  in negotiated transactions;

 

  under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments; or

 

  a combination of such methods of sale.

 

If underwriters are used in a sale, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions. Our securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached. This prospectus and the prospectus supplement will be used by the underwriters to resell the shares of our securities.

 

If 5% or more of the net proceeds of any offering of our securities made under this prospectus will be received by a FINRA member participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121.

 

To comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities offered by this prospectus will be offered and sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

 

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements entered into with us to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their respective affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business. We will describe in the prospectus supplement naming the underwriter the nature of any such relationship.

 

Certain persons participating in the offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that such transactions may have on the price of the securities. For a description of these activities, see the information under the heading “Underwriting” in the applicable prospectus supplement.
