We have entered into an equity purchase agreement(referred to as the “EPA”), dated August 30, 2018 with L2 Capital, LLC (“L2 Capital”) for the offer and sale of up to $35,000,000 of shares of our common stock, offered by this prospectus supplement. In accordance with the terms of the EPA, we may from time to time and at our sole discretion, during the next thirty-six months, issue all or a portion of these shares to L2 Capital at 93.5% of the market price determined at the time as defined in the EPA, and in accordance with the terms of the EPA.

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, dated July 23, 2018, also cover the sale of these shares by L2 Capital to the public, with respect to which L2 Capital may be deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Any profits on the sales of shares of our common stock by L2 Capital and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by L2 Capital may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by L2 Capital, see the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” on page S-10.

 

Our common stock is listed on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “MGTI.” On August 28, 2018, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $0.68 per share. We have made an application to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, although there can be no assurance that our application will be approved and that our common stock will trade on Nasdaq.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-225589) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer shares of our common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities, rights and/or warrants to purchase any of such securities, either individually or in units, in one or more offerings, up to a total dollar amount of $150,000,000. We have not yet sold any securities under the foregoing shelf registration.

 

This document consists of two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, gives more general information about securities that MGT may offer from time to time. Generally, references to the prospectus or the prospectus supplement mean this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus combined. Before buying any of the common stock that we are offering, we urge you to carefully read this prospectus, together with the information incorporated by reference as described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” in this prospectus. These documents contain important information that you should consider when making your investment decision.

 

This prospectus supplement provides specific details regarding the issuance of up to $35,000,000 of shares of our common stock pursuant to the EPA. The registration statement included a prospectus supplement for an “at-the-market” offering of common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000,000. Any securities sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement will reduce the amount of securities that may be offered and sold in accordance with that prospectus supplement.

 

To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement that was filed with the SEC, before the date of this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a document incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement) the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. We have not, and the sales agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. We are not, and L2 Capital is not, making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, are accurate only as of the date of those respective documents. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. You should read this prospectus supplement, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, in their entirety before making an investment decision.

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this prospectus supplement, the terms “MGT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to MGT Capital Investments, Inc. and, where appropriate, our subsidiary.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our common stock. For a more complete understanding of our company and this offering, we encourage you to read and consider carefully the more detailed information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus which is appended to this prospectus supplement, including the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and the information included in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, including the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement beginning on page S-3 and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

Company Overview

 

We are engaged primarily in Bitcoin mining operations.

 

Bitcoin is a world–recognized cryptocurrency, which can be traded and converted into major fiat currencies on cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrencies are a medium of exchange that are transacted through and recorded on a decentralized distributed ledger system, called “blockchain.” The blockchain is built by a chronological addition of transactions, which are grouped into blocks. Each new block requires a mathematical problem to be solved before it can be confirmed and added to the blockchain.

 

Additional information about Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies can be found on publicly available educational sources such as www.bitcoin.org .

 

At August 28, 2018, MGT owned and operated approximately 500 bitcoin mining machines or miners located in a leased facility in Quincy, WA and 4,200 miners located in a leased facility in Sweden. In addition, the Company operates about 2,100 miners in the Sweden location pursuant to management agreements.

 

In the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company mined approximately 856 coins and recorded $3,134,000 in revenue. In the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company mined 145.8 coins and recorded $1,355,000 in revenue.

 

MGT’s strategy is to continue to expand its cryptocurrency mining operations and reduce costs by utilizing more efficient service providers, and to achieve operational economies of scale by increasing the number of Bitcoin machines maintained by the Company, either owned or managed.

 

Our longer–term objective is focused towards vertical integration of our cryptocurrency mining business as well as diversification into other areas of the rapidly emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 512 S. Mangum Street, Suite 408, Durham, NC 27701, our telephone number is (914) 630–7430 and we maintain a website at www.mgtci.com . We do not incorporate the information on, or accessible through, our website into this prospectus, and you should not consider any information on, or accessible through, our website as part of this prospectus.

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies that we believe are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus supplement. See “Use of Proceeds” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement.

     
Risk Factors   Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” below, and under similar headings in other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.
     
OTCQB Symbol   “MGTI”

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described below and under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated by our annual, quarterly and other reports and documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. Please also read carefully the section below titled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Additional Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

The price of our common stock has fluctuated considerably and is likely to remain volatile, in part due to the limited market for our common stock, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

As discussed further below, there is a limited public market for our common stock, and we cannot provide assurances that a more active trading market will develop or continue. As a result of low trading volume in our common stock, the purchase or sale of a relatively small number of shares could result in significant share price fluctuations. Additionally, the market price of our common stock may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.

 

  S- 3  
 

 

For these reasons and others, an investment in our securities is risky and you should invest only if you can withstand a significant loss and wide fluctuations in the value of your investment.

 

The price of our common stock will be influenced by the price of cryptocurrency, among other factors, and may be susceptible to wide swings in value.

 

Our common stock is subject to arbitrary pricing factors that are not necessarily associated with traditional factors that influence stock prices or the value of non-cryptocurrency assets such as revenue, cashflows, profitability, growth prospects or business activity levels. This is because the value and price of our shares, as determined by the investing public, may be influenced by future anticipated adoption or appreciation in value of cryptocurrencies or blockchain generally, factors over which the Company has little or no influence or control. The Company’s share price may also be subject to pricing volatility due to supply and demand factors associated with few or limited public company options for investment in the cryptocurreny industry.

 

Cryptocurrency market prices are determined primarily using data from various exchanges, over-the-counter markets, and derivative platforms. Furthermore, such prices may be subject to factors such as those that impact commodities, more so than business activities, which could be subject to additional influence from fraudulent or illegitimate actors, real or perceived scarcity, and political, economic, regulatory or other conditions. Pricing may be the result of, and may continue to result in, speculation regarding future appreciation in the value of cryptocurrencies, or the Company or its share price, inflating and making their market prices more volatile or creating “bubble” type risks.

 

In addition, as a result of the Company being an early participant in the blockchain and cryptocurrency ecosystem, the Company’s shares may be perceived as a way of maintaining investment exposure to the blockchain and cryptocurrency markets without exposing the investor to the risk of a particular cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency holders have realized exponential value due to large increases in the prices of cryptocurrencies and may seek to lock in cryptocurrency appreciation, and investing in the Company’s shares may be perceived as a way to achieve that result, but this may not continue in the future. As a result, the value of the Company’s shares, and the value of cryptocurrencies generally may be more likely to fluctuate due to changing investor confidence in future appreciation (or depreciation) in market prices, profits from related or unrelated investments or holdings of cryptocurrency. Such factors or events would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern or to pursue this segment at all, or on the price of the Company’s shares, which would have a material adverse effect on the business, prospects or operations of the Company and potentially the value of any cryptocurrencies the Company holds or expects to acquire for its own account.

 

A significant number of additional shares of our common stock may be issued at a later date, and their sale could depress the market price of our common stock.

 

As of August 28, 2018 we had outstanding warrants exercisable for 7,335,000 shares of our common stock and options exercisable for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock. The possibility of the issuance of these shares, as well as the actual sale of such shares, could substantially reduce the market price for our common stock and impede our ability to obtain future financing.

 

Future sales and issuances of our equity securities or rights to purchase our equity securities, including pursuant to equity incentive plans, would result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.

 

To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may, as we have in the past, sell common stock, rights, warrants, options or convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, rights, warrants, options or convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be further diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to existing stockholders.

 

  S- 4  
 

 

Because we are quoted on the OTCQB instead of a national securities exchange or quotation system, our investors may experience significant volatility in the market price of our stock and have difficulty selling their shares.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Group’s OTCQB market quotation system under the ticker symbol “MGTI.” The OTCQB is a regulated quotation services that displays real-time quotes and last sale prices in over-the-counter securities. Trading in shares quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and characterized by volatility in trading prices. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume and market conditions. As a result, there may be wide fluctuations in the market price of the shares of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance, and this volatility, when it occurs, may have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Moreover, the OTCQB is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on this platform is more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national quotation system or stock exchange. Accordingly, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.

 

We have recently applied for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, but there is no assurance that our application will be approved.

 

The Company has recently applied for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. We are currently in discussions with The Nasdaq Stock Market regarding our application, and we are hopeful that the Company can satisfy the applicable listing standards and otherwise meet the criteria of The Nasdaq Stock Market for admission to its Capital Market tier. We note that we do not currently satisfy the relevant listing standards, particularly the minimum bid price of $4.00, and that we will be required to provide The Nasdaq Stock Market with a plan for coming into compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

 

We cannot assure you that we will be able to satisfy the necessary criteria for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or any other national securities exchange, or, if the Company is approved for listing, that we will be able to obtain such approval during any particular time frame.

 

Even if our common stock were traded on a national securities exchange such as The Nasdaq Stock Market, there is no assurance that the trading volume of our common stock would significantly increase, that investors would experience a more liquid market for their shares or that volatility would decrease.

 

We may not be able to attract the attention of research analysts at major brokerage firms.

 

Because we are not listed on a national securities exchange, security analysts of brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our company. In addition, investment banks may be less likely to agree to underwrite secondary offerings on our behalf or recommend the purchase of our common stock because they may be less familiar with our company as a result of more limited coverage by analysts and the media. The failure to receive research coverage or support in the market for our shares will likely have an adverse effect on our ability to develop a liquid market for our common stock.

 

Penny stock regulations may impose certain restrictions on marketability of our securities.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. A security listed on a national securities exchange is exempt from the definition of a penny stock. Our common stock is not currently listed on a national security exchange. Our common stock is therefore subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse). For transactions covered by such rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase.

 

  S- 5  
 

 

Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also disclose the commission payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Broker-dealers must wait two business days after providing buyers with disclosure materials regarding a security before effecting a transaction in such security. Consequently, the “penny stock” rules restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and affect the ability of investors to sell our securities in the secondary market and the price at which such purchasers can sell any such securities, thereby affecting the liquidity of the market for our common stock.

 

Stockholders should also be aware that, according to the SEC, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

  control of the market for the security by one or more broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer ;
     
  manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases ;
     
  “boiler room” practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons ;
     
  excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers ; and
     
  the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (referred to as FINRA) has adopted rules requiring that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative or low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA has indicated its belief that there is a high probability that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. If these FINRA requirements are applicable to us or our securities, they may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that at least some of their customers buy our common stock, which may limit the ability of our stockholders to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market for and price of our common stock.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future so any returns on our common stock will be limited to the price of our common stock.

 

We have never declared dividends on our common stock, and currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business. The payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, our overall financial condition and any other factors.

 

Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any return on their investment. Also , investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

  S- 6  
 

 

The price of our common stock could be affected by subpoenas issued to us in an ongoing investigation.

 

As previously disclosed, in September 2016 and December 2017, respectively, the Company and its CEO and President received subpoenas from the SEC in connection with an ongoing investigation. Both the Company and its CEO and President have complied with those subpoenas and otherwise cooperated with the investigation. The ultimate outcome of the investigation and its potential impact on the Company cannot be ascertained at this time. Regardless of the ultimate outcome, response to the subpoena has entailed, and may continue to entail, legal costs and the diversion of management’s attention, and could impact the trading prices of our common stock.

 

Additional Risks Related to this Offering

 

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

 

Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from this offering to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of any proceeds from the sale of common stock in this offering, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.

 

Our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market value.

 

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $0.68 per share pursuant to this prospectus supplement, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB on August 28, 2018, for aggregate gross proceeds of $34.0 million, you would experience immediate dilution of $0.37 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2018, after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price. The exercise of outstanding share options may result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

 

There is no assurance that we will receive $35 million in gross proceeds under the EPA

 

Under the terms of the EPA, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares to L2 Capital in an amount up to $35,000,000 over the three-year term of the EPA. Future drawdowns are subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the EPA, including, among others, a beneficial ownership limitation, pursuant to which L2 Capital is not obligated to purchase shares if L2 Capital would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares pursuant to a put notice and is conditioned on the effectiveness of this registration statement for the resale of the shares issuable under the EPA.

 

The common stock offered hereby may be sold at different prices.

 

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We and L2 Capital will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

 

  S- 7  
 

 

The sale and issuance of our common stock to L2 Capital may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by or issued to L2 Capital could cause the price of our common stock to decline   .

 

L2 Capital may ultimately purchase under the EPA all, some or none of the common stock that is the subject of this prospectus supplement. The prices at which we sell or issue shares to L2 Capital will be at a discount to the market price of our common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares to L2 Capital will have a dilutive effect on the interests of other holders of our common stock. Moreover, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by L2 Capital, or the anticipation of such sales, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline or make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise desire.

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies that we believe are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or deposit accounts with reputable banking institutions.

 

DILUTION

 

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 was approximately $5.9 million, or $0.08 per share. 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 June 30, 2018. Dilution with respect to net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares of common stock in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

 

  S- 9  
 

 

Assuming the sale of 50,000,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed offering price of $0.68 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the OTCQB marketplace on August 28, 2018, and after deducting estimated offering commissions or discounts and offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have been approximately $37.7 million, or $0.31 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.23 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $0.37 per share to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering at the assumed offering price. The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assumed public offering price per share   $ 0.68  
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2018   $ 0.08  
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $ 0.23  
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2018, after giving effect to this offering   $ 0.31  
Dilution per share to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering   $ 0.37  

 

The above discussion and table are based on 71,757,626 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018, and excludes:

 

  3,902,000 shares issued by the Company subsequent to June 30, 2018 through August 28, 2018;
  6,000,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of August 28, 2018, at a weighted-average exercise price of $0.71 per share;
  7,335,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of August 28, 2018, at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 0.76 per share; and
  5,914,808 shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2016 Stock Option Plan as of August 28, 2018.

 

To the extent that outstanding stock options or warrants outstanding have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, investors purchasing our common stock in this offering may 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 stockholders.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 125,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of August 29, 2018, there were 75,659,626 shares of our common stock, and no shares of preferred stock, outstanding.

 

Additional information related to our capital stock is contained in the accompanying prospectus which is appended to this prospectus supplement.

 

You should also refer to our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is part.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into an equity purchase agreement, dated August 30, 2018, with L2 Capital, LLC, a Kansas limited liability company. Under the EPA, the Company agreed to issue, and L2 Capital agreed to purchase, up to $35,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. L2 Capital has no right to require any sales by us, but is obligated to make purchases from us as we direct in accordance with the EPA, as follows. Pursuant to the EPA, the Company may by notice delivered to L2 Capital, referred to as a put notice, require L2 Capital to purchase a number of shares of common stock that is equal to the lesser of $500,000 and 200% of the average trading volume of the Company’s common stock in the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date of the put notice. The Company must deliver the shares to a brokerage account designated by L2 Capital through the DWAC facility of the Depository Trust Company within two trading days of delivery of the put notice. The purchase price for the shares will be the lowest volume-weighted average traded price of any day during the five trading days either following or beginning on the date on which L2 Capital receives delivery of the shares into its brokerage account, which period is referred to as the valuation period, multiplied by 93.5%. The Company may generally deliver a put notice to L2 Capital at any time during the term of the EPA.

 

  S- 10  
 

 

The obligation of L2 Capital to purchase shares of common stock under the equity line is subject to a beneficial ownership limitation, pursuant to which L2 Capital is not obligated to purchase shares if L2 Capital would own more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares pursuant to a put notice and is conditioned on the effectiveness of this registration statement.

 

There are no limitations on the use of proceeds of the EPA.

 

Under the EPA, as long as the EPA is in effect, the Company may not enter into any equity line of credit agreement with any other party, or issue securities of the Company in an amount greater than $100,000 that are convertible into an amount of shares that varies based on the market price of the Company’s common stock, without L2 Capital’s prior written consent.

 

The EPA commences on August 30, 2018 and will end on the earlier of (i) the date on which L2 Capital shall have purchased the Put Shares equal to an aggregate of $35,000,000, (ii) August 28, 2021, or (iii) written notice of termination by the Company to L2 Capital provided that L2 Capital does not hold any of the Put Shares. We have agreed in the EPA to provide customary indemnification to L2 Capital. 

 

In addition, the equity purchase agreement will automatically terminate on the earlier of: (i) August 28, 2021; (ii) the date that L2 Capital purchases $35,000,000 of common stock pursuant to the EPA; (iii) the date on which the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part, is no longer effective, or (iv) the date that the Company commences, or is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding or that a custodian is appointed for the Company or for all or substantially all of its property or the Company makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors.

 

L2 Capital has agreed that neither it, nor any of its affiliates acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it, will engage in any direct or indirect short-selling of the Company’s common stock during the term of the EPA.

 

In addition to our issuance of common stock to L2 Capital pursuant to the EPA, this prospectus supplement also covers the resale of those shares from time to time by L2 Capital to the public. In connection with L2 Capital’s sale of our common stock, L2 Capital may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation paid to L2 Capital may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts.

 

L2 Capital has informed us that it will use an unaffiliated broker-dealer to effectuate any sales of common stock that it may purchase from us pursuant to the EPA. Such sales will be made on the OTCQB or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price. Each such unaffiliated broker-dealer may be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. L2 Capital has informed us that such broker-dealers will receive commissions which will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

 

The common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus may be sold or distributed from time to time directly to one or more purchasers or through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or at fixed prices, which may be changed. The sale of the common stock offered by this prospectus may be effected in one or more of the following methods:

 

ordinary brokers’ transactions;

     
transactions involving block trades;
     
through brokers, dealers, or underwriters who may act solely as agents;

 

  S- 11  
 

 

in other ways not involving market makers or established business markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents;
     
in privately negotiated transactions; or
     
any combination of the foregoing.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares may be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and complied with.

 

L2 Capital may also sell shares of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, L2 Capital may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

 

Brokers, dealers, underwriters, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares as agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts, or concessions from us and/or L2 Capital and/or purchasers of the common stock for whom the broker-dealers may act as agent. L2 Capital has informed us that such broker-dealer will receive commissions which will not exceed customary brokerage commissions.

 

L2 Capital and any unaffiliated broker-dealer will be subject to liability under the federal securities laws and must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by L2 Capital or any unaffiliated broker-dealer. Under these rules and regulations, L2 Capital and any unaffiliated broker-dealer:

 

may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities;
     
must furnish each broker which offers shares of our common stock covered by the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus with the number of copies of such prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus which are required by each broker; and
     
may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act.

 

These restrictions may affect the marketability of the common shares by L2 Capital and any unaffiliated broker-dealer.

Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in this prospectus, the terms “MGT,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to MGT Capital Investments, Inc.

 

Company Overview

 

MGT Capital Investments, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, incorporated in 2000. The predecessor of the Company was originally incorporated in Utah in 1977. MGT is comprised of the parent company and certain, wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Cryptocurrency Mining Business

 

We are engaged in Bitcoin mining operations.

 

Bitcoin is a world–recognized cryptocurrency, which can be traded and converted into major fiat currencies on cryptocurrency exchanges. Cryptocurrencies are a medium of exchange that are transacted through and recorded on a decentralized distributed ledger system, called “blockchain.” The blockchain is built by a chronological addition of transactions, which are grouped into blocks. Each new block requires a mathematical problem to be solved before it can be confirmed and added to the blockchain.

 

Bitcoin mining entails solving these complex mathematical problems using custom designed and programmed application-specific integrated circuit computers (referred to as miners). Bitcoin miners perform a vital function on the Bitcoin blockchain network, by performing so-called hash calculations and adding transaction blocks to the blockchain ledger. When a miner is successful in adding a block to the blockchain, it is rewarded with a fixed number of Bitcoin; a miner can also be compensated by network transaction fees. Bitcoin capacity is measured by computational hashing rate, which is a measure of computations per second performed.

 

Additional information about Bitcoin, blockchain and cryptocurrencies can be found on publicly available educational sources such as www.bitcoin.org .

 

Our Operations

 

In September 2016, MGT commenced its Bitcoin mining operations in the Wenatchee Valley area of central Washington. Throughout 2017 and 2018 we expanded our mining capacity with the purchase of additional miners and entering into hosting and power agreements with Washington facilities owners. We also entered into management agreements with third party investors whereby the investors purchase the mining hardware, and the Company receives both a fee to manage the mining operations plus one-half of the net operating profit. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company mined approximately 856 coins and recorded $3,134,000 in revenue. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company mined 91.5 coins and recorded $956,000 in revenue.

 

Due to the lack of availability of adequate electric power in Washington to support our growth, the Company moved operations to northern Sweden at the end of 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, we took delivery of additional Bitcoin mining machines in Sweden and moved or sold most of our Bitcoin mining machines from Washington. We plan to continue growing our mining capacity in Sweden during 2018.

 

At July 19, 2018, MGT owned and operated approximately 500 miners located in a leased facility in Quincy, WA and 4,200 miners located in a leased facility in Sweden.

 

  2  
 

 

In addition, the Company operates about 2,100 miners in the Sweden location pursuant to management agreements. Under the management arrangements the Company provides for installation, hosting, maintenance and repair of the managed Bitcoin miners. The Company charges the owners an operating fee of 10% of the amount of Bitcoin mined. The owners receive 50% of the Bitcoin mined net of the operating fee and electricity costs. The management agreements generally have a 24 month term.

 

When running at full capacity, the Company’s owned and managed miners are anticipated to have an aggregate computational hashing rate at 90 petahash per second.

 

Our Strategy

 

MGT’s strategy is to continue to expand its cryptocurrency mining operations and reduce costs by utilizing more efficient service providers, and to achieve operational economies of scale by increasing the number of Bitcoin machines maintained by the Company, either owned or managed.

 

Our longer–term objective is focused towards vertical integration of our cryptocurrency mining business as well as diversification into other areas of the rapidly emerging blockchain and cryptocurrency industry.

 

Legacy Businesses

 

Cybersecurity

 

Previously, it was the Company’s intention to develop a cybersecurity business, and position itself to address various cyber threats through advanced protection technologies for mobile devices and corporate networks. Legendary computer security pioneer John McAfee agreed to join MGT in November 2016 and served as Chairman and CEO until August 2017, at which time he was appointed Chief Cybersecurity Visionary, a position he held until his relationship with the Company ended in January 2018.

 

In May 2016, MGT entered into an agreement to acquire certain assets owned by D–Vasive, Inc., a company in the business of developing and marketing certain privacy and anti–spy applications. Also in May 2016, the Company agreed to acquire certain technology and assets of Demonsaw LLC, a company in the business of developing and marketing secure and anonymous information sharing applications. In July 2016, the Company and Demonsaw terminated their agreement, and simultaneously, D–Vasive entered into an agreement to purchase Demonsaw. The D-Vasive acquisition was terminated when the Company could not obtain listing approval of the New York Stock Exchange, on which its common stock was then traded, for the shares issuable in the transaction.

 

In August 2017, we commenced commercial development of our cybersecurity business, including Sentinel, a network intrusion detector released in October 2017. We realized only nominal revenue from our cybersecurity business.

 

On March 19, 2018, we announced the end of our cybersecurity operations by selling the Sentinel product line to a new entity formed by our cybersecurity unit’s management team and stopping development of a secure mobile phone. The Sentinel assets were sold for consideration of $60,000 in cash and a $1,000,000 promissory note, convertible into a 20% equity interest of the buyer.

 

Online and Mobile Gaming

 

Prior to engaging in the cybersecurity business, the Company and its subsidiaries were principally engaged in the business of acquiring, developing and monetizing assets in the online and mobile gaming space as well as the social casino industry. The Company’s principal asset was DraftDay.com, at the time the third largest operator of online daily fantasy sports gaming, which the Company sold in September 2015. In partial consideration for the sale, MGT received a minority interest in the purchaser, renamed Function(x) Inc., and its subsidiary.

 

In a series of subsequent transactions, the Company acquired certain additional shares of Function(x). The Company sold all of its shares in Function(x) prior to March 31, 2017.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 512 S. Mangum Street, Suite 408, Durham, NC 27701, our telephone number is (914) 630–7430 and we maintain a website at www.mgtci.com . We do not incorporate the information on, or accessible through, our website into this prospectus, and you should not consider any information on, or accessible through, our website as part of this prospectus.

The prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus or in documents we have incorporated by reference. However, no prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

This prospectus may not be used to consummate a sale of securities unless it is accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

 

We may sell the securities directly to investors or through underwriters, dealers or agents. We, and our underwriters or agents, reserve the right to accept or reject all or part of any proposed purchase of securities. If we do offer securities through underwriters or agents, we will include in the applicable prospectus supplement:

 

  the names of those underwriters or agents;

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock. Our common stock does not carry any preemptive rights enabling a holder to subscribe for, or receive shares of, any class of our common stock or any other securities convertible into shares of any class of our common stock, or any redemption rights.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series.

 

Under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders (unless such stockholder action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or market on which our securities are then traded), to designate up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of each series of the preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights, terms of redemption or repurchase, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the common stock. Any convertible preferred stock we may issue will be convertible into our common stock or exchangeable for our other securities. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder’s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates.

 

If we sell any series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of such series of preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock that we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.

 

The Company has authorized for issuance 1,380,362 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share that are designated as Series A Preferred Stock. No shares of preferred stock of the Company are currently issued or outstanding.

 

Debt Securities

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt.

 

The senior debt securities will rank equally with any other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner described in the instrument governing the debt, to all of our senior indebtedness. Convertible debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or preferred stock. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder’s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates.

 

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture, which is a contract between us and a national banking association or other eligible party, as trustee. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the debt securities. We urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of debt securities if and when they are offered, as well as the complete indentures and any supplemental indentures that contain the terms of the debt securities.

 

A form of base indenture has been filed with the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If we offer debt securities, the applicable supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the actual terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or incorporated by reference from reports we file with the SEC.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated by any subsequently filed periodic reports and other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors described in the documents referenced above could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements. These are based on our management’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions about future events, conditions and results and on information currently available to us. Discussions containing these forward-looking statements may be found, among other places, in the sections entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

Any statements in this prospectus, or incorporated in this prospectus, about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements. Within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (referred to as the Exchange Act), these forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of management’s goals and objectives; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at or by which that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:

 

  our need for additional funding to support our operations and capital expenditures;
     
  our working capital deficit;
     
  our history of operating losses;
     
  our limited revenue;
     
  our uncertain prospects for profitability;
     
  fluctuations in our operating results;
     
  our inability to obtain the necessary computer hardware and electricity to sustain our Bitcoin mining operations;
     
  our inability to grow our workforce and attract sophisticated talent necessary for our operations;
     
  our inability to manage and maintain the growth of our business;
     
  any losses we may incur as a result of litigation or government investigations;

  our inability to protect our intellectual property rights;
     
  possible security breaches; and
     
  any negative or unfavorable media coverage.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the words “may,” “might,” “can,” “will,” “to be,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “objective,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “likely,” “continue” and “ongoing,” or the negative of these terms, or other comparable terminology intended to identify statements about the future, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

You should refer to the “Risk Factors” section contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, for a discussion of important factors other than those noted above that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this prospectus will prove to be accurate, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.

 

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements publicly, or to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or developments occurring after the date of this prospectus, even if new information becomes available in the future.

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus our intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of any securities sold pursuant to the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution, after distributions to the holders of our preferred stock, if any.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the ticker symbol “MGTI.” We have made an application to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC to list our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, although there can be no assurance that our application will be approved.

Preferred Stock

 

The shares of preferred stock may be divided and issued from time to time in one or more classes and/or series within any class or classes as may be determined by our Board of Directors, each such class or series to be distinctly designated and to consist of the number of shares determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to adopt resolutions with respect to any unissued and/or treasury shares of preferred stock to issue the shares, to fix the number of shares constituting any class or series, and to provide for the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of preferred stock, and each class or series thereof, in each case without approval of the stockholders. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each class or series of preferred stock includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the determination of the following:

  The dividend rate on the shares of that class or series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates;

The number of shares, voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, of any class or series of preferred stock which may be designated by the Board of Directors may differ from those of any and all other class or series at any time outstanding.

The above description of our capital stock is a summary only and is subject to applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, each as may be further amended from time to time. You should refer to, and read this summary together with, our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, each as may be further amended from time to time, to review all of the terms of our capital stock.

Antitakeover Effects of Provisions of Charter Documents and Delaware Law

 

Charter Documents. Our restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our amended and restated bylaws, include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company. First, our bylaws limit who may call special meetings of the stockholders. Our restated certificate does not include a provision for cumulative voting for directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient percentage of a class of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. Our bylaws establish procedures, including advance notice procedures, with regard to the nomination of candidates for election as directors and stockholder proposals. These and other provisions of our restated certificate and bylaws and Delaware law could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control or management of our company.

 

DGCL Section 203. The Company is not subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which imposes certain restrictions on transactions with interested stockholders, as defined.

These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount,” or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.

  if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and
     
  if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, of such series of debt securities due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

 

  13  
 

 

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under the indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

  the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and
     
  subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, if applicable, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

 

  the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;
     
  the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request;
     
  such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and
     
  the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

 

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the supplemental indenture, and so describe in the prospectus supplement, applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may change the indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:

 

  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series;
     
  to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities—Consolidation, Merger or Sale”;
     
  to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;
     
  to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture;
     
  to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect;

 

  14  
 

 

  to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under “Description of Debt Securities—General,” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;
     
  to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or
     
  to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the supplemental indenture, and so describe in the prospectus supplement, applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

  extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series;
     
  reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or
     
  reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

 

Discharge

 

The indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

  provide for payment;
     
  register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;
     
  replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;
     
  pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series;
     
  maintain paying agencies;
     
  hold monies for payment in trust;
     
  recover excess money held by the trustee;
     
  compensate and indemnify the trustee; and
     
  appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (referred to as DTC), or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

  15  
 

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the applicable indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the applicable supplemental indenture, and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

  issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or
     
  register the transfer of or exchange of any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Information Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the indenture, will undertake to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. Upon an event of default under the indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

  16  
 

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture, the applicable indenture supplements, and the debt securities, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the indenture or the debt securities, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement, any supplemental warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses, and the complete warrant agreement, any supplemental warrant agreement and warrant certificate that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

General

 

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

 

  the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;

  the currency or currencies for which the warrants may be purchased;
     
  if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of such warrants which may be exercised at any one time;
     
  in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant and the price at which, and currency in which, this principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon such exercise;

  a discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
     
  any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

 

  18  
 

 

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including:

 

  in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture; or
     
  in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

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

 

Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth on the reverse side of the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent in connection with the exercise of the warrant.

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.

 

Governing Law

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants, the warrant agreements and any supplemental warrant agreements, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the warrants or warrant agreements, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants

 

Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

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 that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

If we offer units, forms of the applicable unit agreements, any supplemental unit agreements and forms of the applicable unit certificates containing the terms of the units being offered will be filed, or incorporated by reference from reports we file with the SEC, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent, if applicable, in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular series of units being offered. A form of unit agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, although any actual unit agreement may differ from the form.

 

We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses, and the complete unit agreement, any supplemental unit agreement and unit certificate that contain the terms of the units.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms relating to a series of units being offered, including:

 

General

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms relating to a series of units being offered, including:

 

  the title of the series of units;
     
  identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;
     
  the price or prices at which the units will be issued;
     
  the date or dates, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;
     
  a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and
     
  any other terms of the units and their constituent securities.

 

Governing Law

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the units, the unit agreements, any supplemental unit agreements and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to the units or unit agreements, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

 

We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable registrar, trustee or depositary maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.

 

Book-Entry Holders

 

We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.

 

  20  
 

 

Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.

 

As a result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities.

 

Street Name Holders

 

We may terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.

 

For securities held in street name, we or any applicable registrar, trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such registrar, trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.

 

Legal Holders

 

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable registrar, trustee or third party employed by us, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.

 

For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend the indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.

 

Special Considerations for Indirect Holders

 

If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities are represented by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

 

  how it handles securities payments and notices;
     
  whether it imposes fees or charges;
     
  how it would handle a request for the holders’ consent, if ever required;
     
  whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future;
     
  how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and
     
  if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters.

 

  21  
 

 

Global Securities

 

A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.

 

Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, DTC will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.

 

A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “—Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated.” As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.

 

If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued as a global security, and unless the prospectus supplement otherwise provides, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.

 

Special Considerations for Global Securities

 

As an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We will not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead will deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

 

If securities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:

 

  unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, an investor may not cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and will not be able to obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;
     
  an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank, broker or other financial institution for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;

 

  a beneficial holder of rights or warrants will be required to observe the practice and procedures of the depositary and its bank, broker or other financial institution that is a direct or indirect participant in the depositary in order to exercise the rights or warrants;
     
  an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;
     
  an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;

 

  22  
 

 

  the depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in the global security;
     
  we and any applicable registrar or trustee will have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security, nor will we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way;
     
  the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and
     
  financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities.

 

There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.

 

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

 

In a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests or will be held in direct registration on the books and records of the Company or its agent. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own bank, broker or other financial institution to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.

 

A global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

 

  if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days; or
     
 

if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and neither we nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell or distribute the securities included in this prospectus through underwriters, through agents, to dealers, in private transactions, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.

 

In addition, we may sell some or all of our securities included in this prospectus, through:

 

  a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell a portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction;
     
  purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; or
     
  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers.

 

  23  
 

 

We may enter into option or other types of transactions that require us or our counter-parties or agents to deliver our securities to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

 

  enter into transactions involving short sales of our shares of common stock by broker-dealers;
     
  sell shares of common stock short themselves and deliver the shares to close out short positions;
     
  enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of common stock to a broker-dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus; or
     
  loan or pledge the shares of common stock to a broker-dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

Any broker-dealers or other persons acting on our behalf that participate with us in the distribution of the securities, may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions received or profit realized by them on the resale of the securities, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.

 

At the time that any particular offering of securities is made, to the extent required by the Securities Act, a prospectus supplement will be distributed, setting forth the terms of the offering, including the aggregate number of securities being offered, the purchase price of the securities, the initial offering price of the securities, the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other items constituting compensation from us, and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers. Furthermore, we, our executive officers, our directors and major shareholders may agree, subject to certain exemptions, that for a certain period from the date of the prospectus supplement under which the securities are offered, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of an underwriter, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of any of shares of our common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. However, an underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

 

Underwriters or agents could make sales in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales of common stock deemed to be an at-the-market offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, which includes sales made directly on or through the OTCQB marketplace, the existing trading market for our shares of common stock, or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange, provided, however, that until our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, we will only sell shares in privately negotiated transactions that are eligible for exemption under applicable state securities laws or are registered under such laws.

 

We will bear costs relating to all of the securities offered and sold by us under this registration statement.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters in connection with the offering and the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, will be passed upon by Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP, New York, New York.
