Overview
Qumu
provides the tools to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of live and on-demand video for the enterprise.
The Qumu platform enables global organizations to drive employee engagement, increase access to video, and modernize the workplace
by providing a more efficient and effective way to share knowledge. Qumu’s customers, which include some of the world’s
largest organizations, leverage the Qumu platform for a variety of cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployments. Use cases include
self-service webcasting, sales enablement, internal communications, product training, regulatory compliance and customer engagement.
The Company and its channel partners market Qumu’s products to customers primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.
Qumu
generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional
and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a cloud-hosted software as a service, or
SaaS, or a term software license. Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware.
Service revenue includes SaaS, term software licenses, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. An individual
sale can range from single year agreements for thousands of dollars to multi-year agreements for over a million dollars.
The
Qumu Enterprise Video Platform
Qumu
offers an end-to-end video creation, management and delivery solution for enterprises. The Qumu platform offers a scalable and
extensible platform that organizations can use to improve stakeholders’ engagement both internally and externally.
Qumu’s
implementations can range in size from thousands to millions of dollars. The Qumu platform integrates with customers’ existing
video services (e.g., videoconferencing systems), business applications (e.g., Skype, WebEx, Zoom, Outlook) and broader IT infrastructures
using Qumu’s extensive application services or “APIs.” Deployments also range from a single customer location
to a global infrastructure serving over one hundred thousand corporate employees. Qumu’s solution components are deployed
as needed to serve different capabilities of the enterprise video content lifecycle of creating, capturing, managing, delivering
and experiencing video content.
The
Qumu platform encompasses four distinct elements:

Video
Capture
Qumu’s
intelligent video capture (sometimes referred to as ingest) dynamically supports unlimited video content sources, accommodating
a wide variety of video formats. Video conferencing solutions have emerged as a rapidly growing source of video content. These
range from high-end, hardware-intensive conference room systems, such as those provided by Polycom and Cisco, to popular unified
communications solutions such as Skype for Business, Zoom and WebEx.
Qumu
brings streaming and management to these video communications tools. As video conferencing becomes the de facto form of team communication,
organizations can record, manage and broadcast these videos live or on demand to hundreds or thousands of employees. Intelligent
video capture allows users to record and broadcast using existing video conferencing tools. With one enterprise-wide video management
and delivery platform, IT can extend their existing video conferencing system investment and concurrently move forward with new
unified communications strategies.
Video
Content Management
Organizations
use Qumu to centrally manage all live and on-demand corporate video content through a single interface. Qumu’s video content
management allows system users to ingest video, create metadata and share content quickly and securely to endpoints with rights
and rules management. Some of the platform’s notable functionality includes:
Creation
& Editing
The
Qumu platform provides comprehensive, easy-to-use tools to create and edit video from desktop and mobile devices or using conference
room and studio systems. The tools can be used across a wide range of applications from creating a simple mobile phone presentation,
to editing a video conference recording, to producing a multi-camera town hall event.
Advanced
Analytics
Qumu
Advanced Analytics provide leaders and communications staff with real-time visibility and insights into employee engagement for
both live streaming video and video on demand (VOD). Advanced Analytics also help IT teams monitor and solve issues with buffering,
bit rate and latency across internal networks, VPNs and external CDNs.
Automated
Workflows
The
Qumu platform allows users to automate processes and comply with policies by creating workflows for content approval, management
and viewing rights. Automated workflows can be set for specific types of meeting recordings with disclaimers, security, time of
life settings, and repurposing parameters.
Security
and Access Control
Qumu’s
access control model can leverage most major enterprise authentication solutions, securing access to videos, channels and administrative
functions. In cases where a corporate authentication service is not available, Qumu provides its own user management tools for
user creation, self-registration, approvals, and group assignment.
Speech
Search
Qumu
Speech Search allows organizations to use their video repository for eDiscovery, internal clipping services or simply to find
information quickly. Qumu Speech Search can quickly analyze thousands of hours of audio and video, index all spoken words and
phrases, and return results beyond what metadata or caption-based searches can provide.
Intelligent
Delivery
The
Qumu platform provides a diverse, flexible and robust series of solutions for enterprise delivery of live streaming or on-demand
video. At the core of Qumu’s solution is an intelligent business rules engine and CDN broker. This proprietary technology
allows organizations to configure and optimize video for their specific offices, mobile users, and various endpoints.
Qumu’s
intelligent delivery supports multiple content delivery network configurations, automatically and intelligently selecting the
optimal video quality for a given user, delivering video via eCDN, software CDN, and/or public CDNs. Qumu’s intelligent
delivery technology can be deployed as hardware, software, or Virtual Machine. Intelligent delivery can be centrally monitored,
managed, and updated.
Extensions
and Add-Ons
The
Qumu platform is designed to be customizable, enhancing the customer’s enterprise communication and collaboration solution.
With its service-based extensible architecture, Qumu’s technology can be built upon by third-party developers. Current integrations
and extensions from Qumu and its partners include Microsoft Office 365, SharePoint, Skype for Business, Yammer, IPTV, Jive, IBM
Connections, Polycom, Pexip and Citrix.
Extensibility
is important for meeting customers who have complex and unique digital environments and for Qumu’s network of partners.
Qumu’s open, service-based architecture enables customers to more easily support native apps for iOS, Android, and Windows
Mobile platforms. The Qumu platform offers robust REST APIs for both user and administrative functions, allowing customers to
develop integrations of their own on top of the Qumu platform. At the present time Qumu has available extensions and add-ons for
live captioning, speech search, advanced analytics, content syndication, WebRTC and several other functions.
Marketing
and Distribution
Qumu’s
solutions serve a growing customer base of medium- and large-sized enterprises across a wide range of vertical and horizontal
markets, with the five primary markets being 1) Banking, Finance and Insurance, 2) Manufacturing, 3) Services and Consulting,
4) Telecom and Technology, and 5) Biotech and Health Care. Qumu has historically targeted enterprises with 10,000+ employees and
a history of video use for corporate communications, although its Qumu Cloud product can service organizations as small as 1,000
employees. Across all deployment types (cloud, on-premise and hybrid) and in all five markets, Qumu’s customers are among
the largest Fortune 500 and Global 2000 companies in the world.
Qumu
serves its customer base primarily via direct sales, and to a lesser extent via channel partners, Qumu has been identified as
a leader by multiple industry analysts:
|
●

RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors described below and set forth
in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, together with
the other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before deciding to invest in our common stock. Additional
risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also harm our business. If any of these known or unknown risks or uncertainties
occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected, the trading price of
our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment in our common stock.
Risks
Related to this Offering and Our Common Stock
Investors
in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The
price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially higher than the book value per share of our common stock. Accordingly,
you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. If you
purchase shares of common stock in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $ per
share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately
after this offering, see “Dilution.”
Our
stock price has been and could remain volatile, which could adversely affect the market price of our stock.
The
market price of our common stock has historically experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility. Between January
1, 2018 and November 5, 2019, the sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market fluctuated from a high of
$4.78 per share to a low of $1.42 per share and, on November 5, 2019, the closing sale price of our common
stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $2.85 per share. Our quarterly operating results, our perceived prospects or the
perceptions of the market for enterprise video and software to manage enterprise video, changes in securities analysts’
recommendations or earnings estimates and our ability to meet such estimates, changes in general conditions in the economy or
the financial markets, capital raising activity and other developments affecting us or our competitors could cause the market
price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially, making it more difficult for shares of our common stock to be sold at a
favorable price or at all. In addition, the market price of our common stock could also be reduced by general market price declines
or market volatility in the future or future declines or volatility in the prices of stocks for companies in our industry.
Future
sales of shares of our common stock may negatively affect our stock price.
Future
sales of our common stock, including sales of our common stock through this offering, could have a significant negative effect
on the market price of our common stock. In addition, upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants or vesting of outstanding
restricted stock units or performance stock units, the number of shares outstanding of our common stock could increase substantially.
As of November 5, 2019, there were 1,339,286 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding
warrants, 1,244,875 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, 123,846
shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and 40,599 shares of our common
stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding performance stock units. The increase in our outstanding common stock could dilute
future earnings per share, if any, and could depress the market value of our common stock. Dilution and potential dilution, the
availability of a large amount of shares for sale, and the possibility of additional issuances and sales of our common stock may
negatively affect both the trading price and liquidity of our common stock.
We
may need additional capital and any additional capital we seek may not be available in the amount or at the time we need it.
We
used approximately $2.8 million of net cash in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2018 and at December 31, 2018,
we had approximately $8.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we used approximately
$670,000 of net cash in operating activities and at September 30, 2019, we had approximately $7.5 million in cash and cash equivalents.
We believe that the proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, and any future cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months. If we are not able to increase our
revenues, generate positive cash flow or operate in a profitable manner, we may need to raise funds in the future to execute our
business plan. Additionally, we may seek to raise funds in the future to accelerate our growth or to pursue strategic goals.
If
we need to raise funds in the future, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available in the amount or at the
time we need it, or that it will be available on acceptable terms or at all. We may obtain future additional financing from an
offering of our equity or debt securities, by incurring other debt or any combination of these. If we issue additional equity
securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing shareholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of common stock. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt,
we could incur significant expense and become subject to covenants that could affect the manner in which we conduct our business.
If we cannot timely raise any needed funds, we may be forced to further reduce our operating expenses, which could adversely affect
our ability to implement our business plan and grow our business.
Our
expected financing needs are based upon management estimates as to future revenue and expense. Our business plan and financing
needs are subject to change based upon, among other factors, our ability to increase revenues, our ability to achieve cash flow,
and our ability to manage expenses. If our estimates of our financing needs change, we may need additional capital more quickly
than we expect or we may need a greater amount of capital.
We
will have broad discretion in how we use a portion of the net proceeds of this offering. We may not use these proceeds effectively,
which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.
We intend to use approximately $4.5
million of the net proceeds from this offering to repay the outstanding principal and accrued interest under our term loan
credit agreement with ESW Holdings, Inc., dated as of January 12, 2018, or the ESW Credit Agreement, and any remaining net proceeds
from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. Accordingly, we will have considerable discretion in the
application of the portion of the net proceeds of this offering that will be used for working capital and other general corporate
purposes. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific
intentions for the use of that portion of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use that portion of the net proceeds for purposes
that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our shareholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest
that portion of the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
We
do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock
will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.
We
have not paid dividends on any of our common stock in the last three years and we currently intend to retain our future earnings,
if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will
be your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience
a gain from your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.
If
securities or industry research analysts cease publishing research or reports about our business or if they issue unfavorable
commentary or downgrade our common stock, the market price of our securities and trading volume could decline.
The
trading market for our securities relies in part on the research and reports that securities and industry research analysts publish
about us, our industry and our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. The market price of our securities and
trading volumes could decline if one or more securities or industry analysts downgrade our securities, issue unfavorable commentary
about us, our industry or our business, cease to cover our company or fail to regularly publish reports about us, our industry
or our business.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contains or incorporates by reference forward-looking statements within

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives,
goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans,
objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and
are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,”
“would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,”
“plan,” or words or phases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward-looking statements are based largely on
our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on
factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially
from those contemplated, expressed, or implied by the forward-looking statements.
The
following factors, among others, could cause our financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in such forward-looking
statements:
|
●
|
The
markets for video content and software to manage video content are each in early stages of development. If this market does
not develop or develops more slowly than we expect, our revenues may decline or fail to grow.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
If
we are unable to attract new customers, retain existing customers and sell additional products and services to our existing
and new customers, our revenue growth and profitability will be adversely affected and we may violate our covenants under
the ESW Credit Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
will need additional capital to fund repayment of our obligations under the ESW Credit Agreement due in January 2020 and any
additional capital we seek may not be available in the amount or at the time we need it.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
encounter long sales cycles with our enterprise video solutions, which could adversely affect our operating results in a given
period.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
To
compete effectively, we must continually improve existing products and introduce new products that achieve market acceptance.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
face intense competition and such competition may result in price reductions, lower gross profits and loss of market share.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Economic
and market conditions, particularly those affecting our customers, have harmed and may continue to harm our business.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Our
sales will decline, and our business will be materially harmed, if our sales and marketing efforts are not effective.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Competition
for highly skilled personnel is intense and if we fail to attract and retain talented employees, we may fail to compete effectively.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Our
enterprise video content management software products must be successfully integrated into our customers’ information
technology environments and workflows and changes to these environments, workflows or unforeseen combinations of technologies
may harm our customers’ experience in using our software products.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
growth and functionality of our enterprise video content management software products depend upon the solution’s effective
operation with mobile operating systems and computer networks.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Any
failure of major elements of our products could lead to significant disruptions in the ability to serve customers, which could
damage our reputation, reduce our revenues or otherwise harm our business.
|
|
●
|
If
we lose access to third-party licenses, our software product development and production may be delayed or we may incur additional
expense to modify our products or products in development.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
If
the limited amount of open source software that is incorporated into our products were to become unavailable or if we violate
the terms of open source licenses, it could adversely affect sales of our products, which could disrupt our business and harm
our financial results.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
sell a significant portion of our products internationally, which exposes us to risks associated with international operations.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
If
our domestic or international intellectual property rights are not adequately protected, others may offer products similar
to ours or independently develop the same or similar technologies or otherwise obtain access to our technology and trade secrets
which could depress our product selling prices and gross profit or result in loss of market share.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Changes
in laws and regulations related to the Internet or changes in the Internet infrastructure itself may diminish the demand for
our products and could have a negative impact on our business.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
may face circumstances in the future that could result in impairment charges, including, but not limited to, significant goodwill
impairment charges.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
We
may experience significant quarterly and annual fluctuations in our results of operations due to a number of factors and these
fluctuations may negatively impact the market price of our common stock.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
The
limited liquidity for our common stock could affect your ability to sell your shares at a satisfactory price.
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Provisions
of Minnesota law, our bylaws and other agreements may deter a change of control of our company and may have a possible negative
effect on our stock price.

USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
expect to receive approximately $ million in net proceeds from this offering.
If the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full, the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately
$ . “Net proceeds” is what we expect
to receive after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions, as described in “Underwriting” below, and other
estimated offering expenses payable by us, which include legal, accounting and printing fees.
We intend to use approximately $4.5
million of the net proceeds from this offering to repay outstanding principal and accrued interest under the ESW Credit
Agreement. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ESW Credit Agreement, we are required to repay the outstanding obligations
thereunder concurrently with the closing of this offering.
On January 12, 2018, we entered into the ESW
Credit Agreement for a term loan in the principal amount of $10.0 million, which has a maturity date of January 10, 2020. On July
19, 2018, we repaid $6.0 million in principal and $463,000 in accrued interest under the ESW Credit Agreement. At September 30,
2019, there was $4.0 million in outstanding principal and $480,000 in accrued interest under the ESW Credit Agreement. Interest
under the ESW Credit Agreement accrues and compounds monthly at a variable rate per annum equal to the prime rate plus 4.0%. As
of September 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, interest was payable at 9.5% and 9.0%, respectively. We may prepay the term loan
at any time with the payment of a prepayment fee of 10.0% of the amount prepaid. However, no prepayment fee will be due for
any prepayment made from the proceeds of the Company’s sale of its investment in BriefCam.
Following
repayment of our outstanding obligations under the ESW Credit Agreement, we intend to use any remaining net proceeds from this
offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, we will
retain broad discretion over the use of such proceeds. Until we use the remaining net proceeds of this offering, we intend
to invest the funds in short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing securities.
DILUTION
If
you invest in our common stock, your ownership interest will be diluted by the difference between the price per share you pay
in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.
Our
net tangible book value as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $18.1 million, or $1.83 per share of our common stock, based
upon 9,908,782 shares of our common stock outstanding as of that date. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing
our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30,
2019. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by investors purchasing
of shares of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this
offering.
After
giving effect to the sale of shares
of our common stock in this offering at the public offering price of $ per share and
after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net
tangible book value as of September 30, 2019, would have been approximately $ million,
or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book
value of $ per share to existing shareholders and immediate
dilution in net tangible book value of $ per share to new investors purchasing
our common stock in this offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

If
the underwriter exercises its option in full to purchase additional shares in this offering, the adjusted net tangible book value
will increase to $ million, or $ per
share, representing an immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors.
The
foregoing table and discussion is based on 9,908,782 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and excludes as of that date:
|
●
|
1,339,286
shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
1,256,250
shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, at a weighted average exercise price of
$3.54 per share;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
123,246
shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding restricted stock units;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
40,599
shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding performance stock units; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
515,850
shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance
under our 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.
|
To
the extent that outstanding stock options, warrants or other equity awards are exercised or become vested or any additional options,
warrants or other equity awards are granted and exercised or become vested or other issuances of shares of our common stock are
made, you will experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or
strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent
that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities
could result in further dilution to our shareholders.

DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock the three most recent completed years or at any time in 2019. We currently
intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for the operation and expansion of our business. Accordingly, following
this offering, we do not anticipate declaring or paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of any future dividends
will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our results of operations, capital requirements, financial
condition, prospects, contractual arrangements, any limitations on payment of dividends present in our current and future debt
agreements, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, under the ESW Credit Agreement, we are
prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends.
UNDERWRITING
We
are offering the shares of common stock described in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus through the underwriter
listed below. Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager of this offering. The underwriter named
below has agreed to buy, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the number of shares of common stock listed opposite
its name below. The underwriter is committed to purchase and pay for all of the shares if any are purchased, other than those
shares covered by the over-allotment option described below.

The
underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares of common stock to the public at a price of $ per
share. The underwriter proposes to offer the shares of common stock to certain dealers at the same price less a concession of
not more than $ per share. After the
offering, these figures may be changed by the underwriter.
The
shares sold in this offering are expected to be ready for delivery on or about ,
2019, against payment in immediately available funds. The underwriter may reject all or part of any order.
We
have granted to the underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional shares
of common stock from us at the same price to the public, and with the same underwriting discount, as set forth in the table below.
The underwriter may exercise this option any time during the 30-day period after the date of this prospectus supplement, but only
to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent the underwriter exercises the option, the underwriter will become obligated, subject
to certain conditions, to purchase the shares for which it exercises the option.
The
table below summarizes the underwriting discounts that we will pay to the underwriter. These amounts are shown assuming both no
exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition to the underwriting discount, we have agreed to pay up to
$112,500 of the fees and expenses of the underwriter, which may include the fees and expenses of counsel to the underwriter. The
fees and expenses of the underwriter that we have agreed to reimburse are not included in the underwriting discounts set forth
in the table below. The underwriting discount and reimbursable expenses the underwriter will receive were determined through arms’
length negotiations between us and the underwriter.

We
estimate that the total expenses of this offering, excluding underwriting discounts, will be $ .
This includes $112,500 of the fees and expenses of the underwriter. These expenses are payable by us.
We
also have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
Our officers, directors and significant
shareholders may participate in this offering. At this time, such investors have indicated their intent to purchase an aggregate
of approximately $400,000 of the Company’s common stock in this offering. However, because indications of interest are not
binding agreements or commitments to purchase, such investors may determine to increase or reduce the amount of their indications
of interest, or otherwise elect not to purchase any shares. It is also possible that the number of shares, if any, allocated to
any investor in the offering may be smaller than the amount of that investor’s indication of interest. Any allocation of
shares in the offering to any officer, director or significant stockholder will be made at our direction. The underwriter will
receive the same underwriting discount on any shares purchased by officers, directors and significant shareholders as they will
on any other shares sold to the public in this offering.
No
Sales of Similar Securities
We,
each of our directors and officers and certain of our shareholders have agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or
indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of
common stock without the prior written consent of the underwriter for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement.
These lock-up agreements provide limited exceptions and their restrictions may be waived at any time by the underwriter.
Price
Stabilization, Short Positions and Penalty Bids
To
facilitate this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of
our common stock during and after the offering. Specifically, the underwriter may over-allot or otherwise create a short position
in our common stock for its own account by selling more shares of common stock than we have sold to the underwriter. The underwriter
may close out any short position by either exercising its option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open
market.
In
addition, the underwriter may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open
market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers participating in
this offering are reclaimed if shares previously distributed in this offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization
transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock
at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price
of our common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of our common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization
or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced,
may be discontinued at any time.
In
connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions
in our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Capital Market
limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow.
Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission limits the amount of net purchases that each passive
market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of our common stock
at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
Neither
we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions
described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation
that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without
notice.
Affiliations
The
underwriter and its affiliates is a full service financial institution engaged in various activities, which may include securities
trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment,
hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial
dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. The underwriter may in the future receive customary fees
and commissions for these transactions.
In
the ordinary course of its various business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments
and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans)

that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

THE
COMPANY
Qumu
provides the tools to create, manage, secure, distribute and measure the success of live and on-demand video for the enterprise.
The Qumu platform enables global organizations to drive employee engagement, increase access to video, and modernize the workplace
by providing a more efficient and effective way to share knowledge. Qumu’s customers, which include some of the world’s
largest organizations, leverage the Qumu platform for a variety of cloud, on-premise and hybrid deployments. Use cases include
self-service webcasting, sales enablement, internal communications, product training, regulatory compliance and customer engagement.
The Company and its channel partners market Qumu’s products to customers primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.
Qumu
generates revenue through the sale of enterprise video content management software, hardware, maintenance and support, and professional
and other services. Software sales may take the form of a perpetual software license, a cloud-hosted software as a service (SaaS)
or a term software license. Software licenses and appliances revenue includes sales of perpetual software licenses and hardware.
Service revenue includes SaaS, term software licenses, maintenance and support, and professional and other services. An individual
sale can range from single year agreements for thousands of dollars to multi-year agreements for over a million dollars.
We
were founded in 1978, incorporated as IXI, Inc. in Minnesota in February 1987 and changed our name to Rimage Corporation in April
1988. From 1995 to 2011, we focused our business on the development and sale of CD recordable publishing systems and DVD recordable
publishing systems.
In
response to declines in the disc publishing business due to technology substitutions and the rise of video as a communication
and collaboration tool, in October 2011, we acquired Qumu, Inc., a leader in the enterprise video content management software
market and changed our name to Qumu Corporation in September 2013. Qumu completed the transition to an enterprise video content
management software company in July 2014, when we closed on the sale of our disc publishing assets to Equus Holdings, Inc. and
Redwood Acquisition, Inc.
In
October 2014, we acquired Kulu Valley Ltd., a private limited company incorporated in England and Wales, subsequently renamed
Qumu Ltd. The acquisition was made to expand Qumu’s addressable market through the offering of Kulu Valley’s best-in-class
video content creation capabilities and easy-to-deploy pure cloud solution, while providing customers with access to industry
leading video content management and delivery capability.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 510 1st Avenue North, Suite 305, Minneapolis, MN 55403, and our telephone number is
(612) 683-9100.
RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. You should carefully
consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K we file after the date of this prospectus, and all other information contained
or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors
and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement before acquiring any of such securities. The occurrence
of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
Unless
otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds of any offering of securities sold
by us to provide additional funding for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, acquisitions, repayment
of outstanding debt, capital expenditures and working capital. When particular securities are offered, the prospectus supplement
relating to that offering will set forth our intended use of the net proceeds received from the sale of those securities. The
net proceeds may be invested temporarily in short-term marketable securities until they are used for their stated purposes.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
This
prospectus contains summary descriptions of the common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscription rights, and units that we
may offer and sell from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The
particular terms of any security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering materials.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
The
following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before
investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our articles
of incorporation, which has been publicly filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by
Reference.”
Our
authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, $0.01 par value. Unless otherwise established by our
board of directors, all shares of capital stock are common stock. From the 30,000,000 shares of capital stock, 250,000 shares
have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares.
Common
Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders,
and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock,
holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as and when declared by our board of directors. All outstanding
shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription
rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges
of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series
of preferred stock, which we may designate in the future. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs,
holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are remaining after payment or provision for payment
of all of our debts and obligations and after liquidation payments to holders of outstanding shares of preferred stock, if any.
As
of August 23, 2019, we had 9,908,782 shares of common stock outstanding and approximately 94 record holders of our common stock
and there were 1,269,375 shares of common stock subject to outstanding stock option awards, 98,146 shares of common stock subject
to outstanding restricted stock unit awards and 40,599 shares of common stock subject to outstanding performance stock unit awards.
Transfer
Agent
The
transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Equiniti Trust Company.
Listing
Our
common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “QUMU”.
Preferred
Stock
We
currently have no outstanding Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares or any other shares of preferred stock. The Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Shares are summarized below under “Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Articles
of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Minnesota Law.”
Under
our articles of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized to establish more than one class or series of shares from
our capital stock and to fix the relative rights and preferences of any such different classes or series, without shareholder
approval. The board of directors is required by the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, or the MBCA, and our articles of incorporation
to adopt resolutions establishing a class or series, setting forth the designation of the class or series, and fixing the relative
rights and preferences of the class or series. A statement setting forth, among other things, the text of these resolutions must
be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota. The resolutions for each class or series will fix the designations,
powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, including the following:
|
●
|
the
number of shares constituting each class or series;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
voting
rights;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
rights
and terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions;

|

|
All
shares of preferred stock offered by this prospectus will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable. Our board of directors
could authorize the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock with terms and conditions that could have the effect of discouraging
a takeover or other transaction that might involve a premium price for holders of the shares of common stock or otherwise discourage
a transaction that holders of common stock might believe to be in their best interests.
We
will describe in a prospectus supplement relating to the class or series of preferred stock being offered the following terms:
|
●
|
the
title and stated value of the preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred
stock;
|

the
dividend rate(s), period(s) or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation applicable to the preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
whether
dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock will accumulate;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any, for the preferred stock;

any
listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock will be convertible into common stock, including the conversion
price or manner of calculation and conversion period;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
voting
rights, if any, of the preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
a
discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
the
relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon the liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of our affairs;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
limitations on issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the class or series
of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
any
other specific terms, preferences, rights, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock.

a parity with all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the equity securities rank on a parity
with the preferred stock; and
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
junior
to all of our equity securities the terms of which specifically provide that the equity securities rank senior to the preferred
stock.
|
The
term equity securities does not include convertible debt securities.
Anti-Takeover
Effects of Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, our Bylaws and Minnesota Law
Some
provisions of Minnesota law, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could make the following transactions
more difficult: acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal
of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could
deter transactions that shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions
that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.
These
provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions
are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe
that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited
proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these
proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Shares
On
September 17, 2003, our board of directors adopted resolutions designating a series of 250,000 preferred shares, $0.01 par value,
designated as the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares. The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares were created
in connection with our shareholder rights plan which expired on March 21, 2014.
Under
the shareholder rights plan when it was in effect, if any person or group (the “Acquiring Person”) became the beneficial
owner of 20% or more of our outstanding common stock, all other holders of our common stock would be entitled to purchase from
us 1/100 of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share at a price of $35 per 1/100 of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment.
In the event that any person or group became an Acquiring Person, each holder of this Preferred Share purchase right, other than
rights that are or were beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person (which would thereafter be void), would thereafter have the
right to receive, upon exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the right, that number of shares of our common stock
having a market value of two times the exercise price of the right. The effect of the shareholder rights plan was to dilute the
Acquiring Person thereby making the cost of abusive unsolicited takeover practices prohibitive and create an incentive for a potential
acquiror to negotiate in good faith with our board of directors.
Although
the shareholder rights plan expired on March 21, 2014, our board of directors has the right to reinstate the shareholder rights
plan or adopt a new shareholder rights plan without shareholder approval.
The
resolutions creating the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares provide that the holders of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Shares are entitled, in preference to holders of common stock, to such dividends as our board of directors may declare
out of funds legally available for the purpose. Each Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share is entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of $1 per share but is entitled to an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend declared per share
of common stock whenever such dividend is declared. In the event of liquidation, the holders of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate
payment of 100 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share will have
100 votes, voting together with common stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of
common stock are exchanged, each Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount
received per share of common stock. These rights will be protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Shares are not redeemable.
Because
of the nature of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Shares’ dividend, liquidation and voting rights, the value
of a one one-hundredth interest in a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share should approximate the value of one share of
common stock.
Designation
of Capital Stock
The
ability of our board of directors to designate classes or series of stock from our authorized capital stock makes it possible
for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of
any attempt to change control of us. These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in
control or management of our company.
Shareholder
Meetings
Under
our bylaws, regular meetings of our shareholders may be called only by our board of directors.
Under
our bylaws, special meetings of our shareholders may be held at any time and for any purpose and may be called by our president,
treasurer, two or more directors or by a shareholder or shareholders holding 10% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled
to vote on the matters to be presented to the meeting, except that a special meeting for the purpose of considering any action
to directly or indirectly facilitate or affect a business combination, including any action to change or otherwise affect the
composition of the board of directors for that purpose, must be called by 25% or more of the voting power of all shares entitled
to vote.
Requirements
for Advance Notification of Shareholder Nominations and Proposals
Nominations
for election to our board of directors may be made by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a shareholder who follows
the advance notice procedures described in Section 3.14 of our bylaws. In general, a shareholder must submit a written notice
of the nomination to our corporate secretary at least 120 days before the date that is one year after the date of our proxy statement
for the prior year’s regular meeting, together with required information regarding the shareholder and each person the shareholder
proposes to nominate.
Shareholders
can propose business, other than nominations to our board of directors, to be considered at a regular meeting of shareholders
only if a shareholder follows the advance notice procedures described in Section 2.10 of our bylaws. In general, a shareholder
must submit a written notice of the proposal together with required information regarding the shareholder and the shareholder’s
interest in the proposal to our corporate secretary at least 120 days before the date that is one year after the date of our proxy
statement for the prior year’s regular meeting.
Unanimous
Shareholder Action by Written Consent
Our
bylaws permit shareholders to take any action that might be taken at a meeting of the shareholders by written action, but only
if it is signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote on that action.
Provisions
of Minnesota Law
We
are governed by the provisions of Section 671 (Control Share Act), Section 673 (Business Combination Act) and Section 675 (Takeover
Provisions) of the Minnesota Business Corporation Act, or MBCA. These provisions may have an effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing an unsolicited takeover of Qumu and deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over
the market price. The following description of certain provisions of the MBCA is only a summary and does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MBCA.
In
general, Section 671 of the MBCA provides that shares of an “issuing public corporation,” such as Qumu, acquired by
an “acquiring person” in a “control share acquisition” that exceed the threshold of voting power of any
of the three ranges identified below will not have voting rights, unless the issuing public company’s shareholders vote
to accord such shares the voting rights normally associated with such shares. A “control share acquisition” is an
acquisition, directly or indirectly, by an “acquiring person” (as defined in the MBCA) of beneficial ownership of
shares of an issuing public corporation that, but for Section 671, would, when added to all other shares of the issuing public
corporation beneficially owned by the acquiring person, entitle the acquiring person, immediately after the acquisition, to exercise
or direct the exercise of a new range of voting power of the issuing public corporation with any of the following three ranges:
(i) at least 20 percent but less than 33.33 percent; (ii) at least 33.33 percent but less than or equal to 50 percent; and (iii)
over 50 percent. Shares acquired in a control share acquisition in excess of any of the three thresholds will have not voting
rights, unless voting rights are accorded such shares by an affirmative vote by the issuing public company’s shareholders.
Acquisition of beneficial ownership of shares includes the acquisition of the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, whether
that power is shared within a group or is held by one shareholder. Certain acquisitions of voting power are exempt from Section
671, including acquisitions directly from the issuing public company. The issuing public company also has an option to call for
redemption all, but not less than all, shares acquired in the control share acquisition that exceed 20% of the outstanding voting
power (or such higher threshold of voting power for which shareholder approval has not been obtained) at a price equal to the
fair market value of the shares at the time the call is given if (i) the acquiring person fails to deliver the information statement
to the issuing public company by the tenth day after the control share acquisition; or (ii) shareholders have voted not to accord
voting rights to the shares acquired in the control share acquisition.
In
general, Section 673 of the MBCA prohibits a public Minnesota corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested
shareholder for a period of four years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested shareholder,
unless either the business combination or the acquisition by which such person becomes an interested shareholder is approved in
a prescribed manner before the person became an interested shareholder. The term “business combination” includes mergers,
asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder. An “interested shareholder”
is a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, or who
is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, and who, at any time within four years before the date in question, was the beneficial
owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. Section 673 does not apply
if a committee of our board of directors consisting of one or more of our disinterested directors (excluding our current and former
officers and employees) approves the proposed transaction or the interested shareholder’s acquisition of shares before the
share acquisition date or on the share acquisition date but before the interested shareholder becomes an interested shareholder.
If
a takeover offer is made for our stock, Section 675 of the MBCA precludes the offeror from acquiring additional shares of stock
(including in acquisitions pursuant to mergers, consolidations or statutory share exchanges) within two years following the completion
of the takeover offer, unless shareholders selling their shares in the later acquisition are given the opportunity to sell their
shares on terms that are substantially the same as those contained in the earlier takeover offer. A “takeover offer”
is a tender offer which results in an offeror who owned ten percent or less of a class of our shares acquiring more than ten percent
of that class, or which results in the offeror increasing its beneficial ownership of a class of our shares by more than ten percent
of the class, if the offeror owned ten percent or more of the class before the takeover offer. Section 675 does not apply if a
committee of our board of directors approves the proposed acquisition before any shares are acquired pursuant to the earlier tender
offer. The committee must consist solely of directors who were directors or nominees for our board of directors at the time of
the first public announcement of the takeover offer, and who are not our current or former officers and employees, offerors, affiliates
or associates of the offeror or nominees for our board of directors by the offeror or an affiliate or associate of the offeror.

other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed

DESCRIPTION

We
may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series.
We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit
agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address
of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
If
we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including,
without limitation, the following, as applicable:
|

The
foregoing description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the
general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement related to the
series of units being offered, as well as any unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will
contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement, if
any, relating to units offered under this prospectus.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
The
securities being offered by this prospectus may be sold by us to or through underwriters, through dealers (acting as agent or
principal), through agents, directly by us to one or more purchasers, through a specific bidding or auction process or otherwise,
through a combination of any such methods of sale, and/or through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.
We
may sell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated
transactions, block trades, in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities
Act, to or through market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise, or a combination of these methods.
We may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing shareholders. 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
related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.
Each
time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe
the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price
of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.
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 or from the purchasers of the securities. Dealers and agents
participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale
of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may
be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
Agents
may from time to time solicit offers to purchase the securities. If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement
any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent. Unless otherwise
indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any
agent selling the securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities
Act, of the securities.
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, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices
determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments. 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. The applicable prospectus
supplement will set forth the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect
to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation
of the underwriters and dealers and the public offering price, if applicable. The prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement
will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.
If
a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The
dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To
the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.
We
may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and we may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors
or others. These persons may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale
of the securities. To the extent required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any such sales, including the
terms of any bidding or auction process, if used.
We
may enter into derivative or hedging transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third
parties in privately negotiated transactions. In connection with such a transaction, the third parties may sell securities covered
by and pursuant to this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. If so, the
third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us to close
out any related short positions. We may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and an applicable prospectus
supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged
securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be.
Agents,
underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be 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. If required, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms and conditions of such
indemnification or contribution. Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their affiliates may be customers of, engage
in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.
Under
the securities laws of some states, the securities offered by this prospectus may be sold in those states only through registered
or licensed brokers or dealers.
Any
person participating in the distribution of common stock registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus
will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others,
Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by any such person. Furthermore, Regulation
M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our common stock to engage in market-making activities
with respect to our common stock. These restrictions may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person
or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.
Certain
persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty
bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered
securities. If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The
specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
