ABOUT COOL HOLDINGS

Overview

The strategy of Cool Holdings is to focus our investments on premium retail brands that have the potential for accelerated profitable growth which can ultimately translate into attractive returns for our shareholders.  Our investments may be deployed through stock or asset acquisitions of an entire entity, or via majority or minority interests depending on the opportunity.

Currently, we are a retailer and wholesaler of consumer electronics focused on the operation and expansion of our OneClick ® retail stores in the United States, Latin America and Canada.  As an Apple Premier Partner, we work with Apple to develop our network of OneClick stores in locations and markets where Apple has limited or no presence.  In our stores, we sell all Apple and Apple-approved products and accessories, including accessories that we source from independent third parties.  We also provide repair service for Apple products and are one of the select authorized third-parties that Apple entrusts with its proprietary machines used to repair or replace damaged iPhone screens.  Retail customers may book a repair appointment at one of our OneClick stores directly through the Apple website.

Our Cooltech Distribution unit distributes various consumer electronics to resellers, retailers and small and medium-sized businesses in Latin America and the United States.  We market and distribute a variety of mobility, computing, audio/video, and other technology products including laptops, tablets, cell phones, drones, smart watches, gaming consoles, accessories and audio devices.  In addition to our direct relationship with Apple, we have direct relationships with top third-party brands in the Apple retail echo-system including Bose, Belkin, Speck, Tech21 and Thule, among others.

Our corporate headquarters are in Miami, Florida. We currently operate a total of nine (9) OneClick stores, consisting of six (6) in Argentina and three (3) in Florida.  Our goal in the next three (3) years is to expand our network of OneClick stores to 200 locations in Latin America, the U.S. and Canada to become one of Apple’s largest retail partners.  We expect that our growth will come from a combination of organic expansion on a store-by-store basis, as well as external acquisition.

Subject to any preferences that may be granted to the holders of preferred stock, each holder of our common stock is entitled to share ratably in any distributions to stockholders and to receive ratably any dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefor, although as of the date of this prospectus, no dividends have been declared or paid.  In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive, after payment of all of our debts and liabilities and of all sums to which holders of any preferred stock may be entitled, the distribution of any of our remaining assets.  Holders of our common stock have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund or redemption rights and have no preemptive rights to subscribe for any of our securities.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of our Charter Documents and Maryland Law

Provisions of the MGCL, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors.  These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that our board of directors may consider inadequate and 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 ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.  This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MGCL and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

Preferred Stock .   Under our articles of incorporation, our board of directors has the power to authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which are currently designated as “0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”, and to determine the price, rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, of those shares without further vote or action by our stockholders.  The issuance of preferred stock may:

 

delay, defer or prevent a change in control;

 

discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price of our common stock;

 

adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock; and

 

discourage acquisition proposals or tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

 

-5-


 

Advance Notice Requirement for Stockholder Nominations for Directors .     Sto ckholder nominations of individuals for election to our board of directo rs must comply with the advance- notice procedures set forth in our bylaws .   Generally, to be timely, such notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary not less than 90   days nor m ore than 130  day s prior to (i any meeting (other than an annual meeting) at which directors are to be elected, appointed or designated or (ii in the case of an annual meeting, the anniversary of the previous year s annual meeting; provided , however , that if, (x in the case of an annual meeting, the annual meeting is scheduled to be held on a date more than 30  day s prior to or delayed by more than 60  day s after such anniversary date, or (y in the case of any other meeting, less than 100  day s notice of the meeting is given to the stockholders, then notice by the stockholder must be delivered no later than the close of business 90  day s prior to such meeting or the 10th  day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was first made by the Company.

Advance Notice Requirement for Stockholder Proposals at Annual Meeting .   Any stockholder who intends to present a proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders without inclusion of such proposal in our proxy materials must provide us notice of such proposal in the manner set forth in our bylaws not less than 53 days nor more than 90 days prior to the annual meeting at which the business proposed is to be acted upon; provided , however , that if less than 60 days’ notice of the annual meeting is given to stockholders, written notice of business proposed by stockholders must be delivered or mailed, as prescribed in our bylaws, to our Corporate Secretary not later than the close of the seventh day following the day on which notice of the meeting was mailed to stockholders.

Special Meeting Requirements .   Our bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only at the request of our president, our board of directors, or stockholders holding an aggregate of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of our common stock entitled to be voted at such meeting.  Such written request must state the purpose(s) of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on at the meeting, and the requesting stockholders must pay us the reasonable estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.

No Cumulative Voting .   Our articles of incorporation specifically disallow cumulative voting for directors, which means that the holders of a plurality of the outstanding voting shares can elect all directors then standing for reelection.

Indemnification .   Our articles of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors against losses, as incurred, in investigations and legal proceedings resulting from their services to us, which may include service in connection with takeover defense measures.

Removal of Directors .   Our bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our shares then entitled to be cast generally for the election of directors is required to remove our directors, either with or without cause.

Authorized but Unissued Shares .   Except as may be required by applicable securities exchange requirements, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval.  We may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation.  The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Control Share Acquisitions

We are subject to Subtitle 7 of Title 3 of the MGCL, which is referred to as the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act (the “Act”).  The Act provides that “control shares” of a corporation acquired in a “control share acquisition” will have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes eligible to cast on the matter under the Act.  “Control shares” means shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock previously acquired by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of the voting power:  one-tenth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of all voting power.  A “control share acquisition” means the acquisition of control shares, subject to certain exceptions.

If voting rights of control shares acquired in a control share acquisition are not approved at a stockholder’s meeting, then subject to certain conditions and limitations, the issuer may redeem any or all of the control shares for fair value.  If voting rights of such control shares are approved at a stockholder’s meeting and the acquirer becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote, all other stockholders may exercise appraisal rights.

The above provisions may delay, defer or prevent a takeover attempt, and thereby prevent stockholders of the Company from receiving a “control premium” for their shares.  For example, these provisions may defer or prevent tender offers for our

-6-


 

common stock or purchases of large blocks, thus limiting the opportunities for the Compan y s stockholders to receive a premium for their shares over then prevailing market prices.

Maryland Unsolicited Takeovers Act

Subtitle 8 of Title 3 of the MGCL permits a Maryland corporation with a class of equity securities registered under the Exchange Act and at least three independent directors to elect to be subject, by provision in its articles of incorporation or bylaws or a resolution of its board of directors, to any or all of five provisions:

 

a classified board;

 

a two-thirds vote requirement for removing a director;

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock.  Warrants may be offered independently or together with common stock or preferred stock offered by any prospectus supplement and may be attached to or separate from those securities.  While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe in particular the terms of any series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus.  The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

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 warrant and/or warrant agreement, which may include a form of warrant certificate, as applicable, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we may offer before the issuance of the related series of warrants.  We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement that we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us.  The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any registered holders of warrants or beneficial owners of warrants.  The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant and/or warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants.  We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete form of warrant and/or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that contain the terms of the warrants.

The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue.  Those terms may include:

 

the title of such warrants;

 

the aggregate number of such warrants;

 

the price or prices at which such warrants will be issued;

 

the currency or currencies (including composite currencies) in which the price of such warrants may be payable;

 

the terms of the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of such warrants;

 

the price at which the securities purchasable upon exercise of such warrants may be purchased;

 

the date on which the right to exercise such warrants will commence and the date on which such right shall expire;

 

any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;

 

if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which such warrants are issued and the number of such warrants issued with each such security;

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement.  The warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered.  Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered thereby.  After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

-8-


 

We will specify the place or pl aces where, and the manner in which, warrants may be exercised in the form of warrant, warrant agreement or warrant certificate and applicable prospectus supplement .   Upon receipt of payment and the warrant or warrant certificate, as applicable, properly c ompleted and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office, including ours, indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exer cise .   If less than all of the warrants (or the warrants represented by such warrant certificate) are exercised, a new warrant or a new warrant certificate, as applicable, will be issued for the remaining amount of warrants .   If we so indicate in the appli cable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus.  While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus.  The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.  However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.

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 we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we may offer under this prospectus, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units.  The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units.  We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

General

We may issue units comprised of shares of common stock or preferred stock and warrants in any combination.  Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.  Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security.  The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including, but not limited to:

 

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

 

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock and Preferred Stock” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent.  Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit.  A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units.  A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us.  Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

We, the unit agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell our securities in any one or more of the following ways from time to time:

 

through agents;

 

to or through underwriters;

 

through brokers or dealers;

 

in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;

 

directly by us to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process; or

 

through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will contain the terms of the transaction, the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, agents and the respective amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by them, the initial public offering price of the securities, and the applicable agent’s commission, dealer’s purchase price or underwriter’s discount.  Any 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.

Any initial offering price, dealer purchase price, discount or commission may be changed from time to time.

The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions, at negotiated prices, at a fixed price or fixed prices (that may be subject to change), at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at various prices determined at the time of sale or at prices related to prevailing market prices.

Offers to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us or by agents designated by us from time to time.  Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment or to sell securities on a continuing basis.  Agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us.  Agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of the securities for whom they sell as principals.  Each particular agent will receive compensation in amounts negotiated in connection with the sale, which might be in excess of customary commissions.  Any such agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.  Accordingly, any commission, discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.  We have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities.  As of the date of this prospectus, there are no special selling arrangements between any broker-dealer or other person and us.  No period of time has been fixed within which the securities will be offered and sold.

If underwriters are utilized in the sale of any securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, such 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 fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters at the time of sale.  Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more underwriters.  If any underwriter or underwriters are utilized in the sale of securities, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters are subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if they purchase any of them.

If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the dealer as principal.  The dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such dealer at the time of resale.  Transactions through brokers or dealers may include block trades in which brokers or dealers will attempt to sell shares as agent but may position and resell as principal to facilitate the transaction or in cross trades, in which the same broker or dealer acts as agent on both sides of the trade.  Any such dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.

Offers to purchase securities may be solicited directly by us, and the sale thereof may be made by us, directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale thereof.

-11-


 

Agents, underwriter s and dealers may be entitled under relevant agreements with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, underwriters and dealers ma y be required to make in respect thereof .   The terms and conditions of any indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us.  Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both.  Compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving shares and might be in excess of customary commissions.  In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales.

Any securities offered other than common stock will be a new issue and, other than the common stock, which is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, will have no established trading market.  We may elect to list any series of securities on an exchange, and in the case of the common stock, on any additional exchange, but, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and/or other offering material, we shall not be obligated to do so.  It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in a class or series of securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.  No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any of the securities.

Agents, underwriters and dealers may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.  Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position.  Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.  Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions.  Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions.  Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.  An underwriter may carry out these transactions on The Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The place and time of delivery for securities will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities being offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Perkins Coie LLP.  If the validity of any securities is also passed upon by counsel for any underwriters, dealers or agents, that counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to that specific offering.

Item 15.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The registrant’s articles of incorporation limit the liability of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (as amended from time to time, or the MGCL) and, together with the registrant’s bylaws, as amended, requires the registrant to indemnify its present and former directors and any individual who, while its director and at the request of the registrant, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee, against liabilities to the fullest extent allowed under Maryland law.  The registrant’s articles of incorporation and bylaws permit the registrant, with the approval of its board of directors, to indemnify and advance or reimburse the expenses of any officer, employee or agent of the registrant or of any predecessor, to the maximum extent permitted by the MGCL.

The MGCL requires a corporation (unless its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, which the registrant’s do not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that capacity.  The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that:

 

an act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and:

(1)

was committed in bad faith; or

(2)

was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;

 

the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or

 

in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

 

However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification, and then only for expenses.  In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon the corporation’s receipt of:

 

a written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation; and

 

a written undertaking by him or her or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

 


 

 

The registrant’s bylaws, as amended, obligate the registrant, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to:

 

any present or former director who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity; or

 

make any individual who, while its director and at the registrant’s request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity.

 

Insofar as the foregoing provisions permit indemnification of directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The MGCL permits a Maryland corporation to include in its articles of incorporation a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action.  The registrant’s articles of incorporation contain such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.

The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the MGCL, the registrant’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, as amended, and the arrangements referred to above and are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.

We maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy.  The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified the directors and officers.  The policy contains various exclusions.

I tem  17.    U ndertakings

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

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

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

provided , however , that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b).

( 2 )

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

( 3 )

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

( 4 )

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i)

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

(ii)

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

( 5 )

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:  The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 


 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)

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

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