PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. You should read the entire prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and the financial data and related notes and other information incorporated by reference, before making an investment decision.

 

Overview

 

The Company offers solutions that help small-to-medium-sized businesses (“SMBs”) to provide access to and reduce transaction friction of e-commerce for their clients globally. The Company’s solutions are provided through (i) its core platform, “AppLogiq” (operated as CreateApp), allows SMBs to establish their point-of-presence on the web, and (ii) “DataLogiq”, a digital marketing analytics business unit that offers proprietary data management, audience targeting and other digital marketing services that improve an SMB’s discovery and branding within the vast e-commerce landscape.

 

The Company enables SMBs to create a mobile app for their business without the need of technical knowledge, high investment, or background in IT by utilizing “AppLogiq”, which is a platform that is offered as a Platform as a Service (“PaaS”) to the Company’s customers. The Company’s DataLogiq business unit offers online marketing solutions on a performance marketing and self-serve, Software as a Service (“SaaS”) basis.

 

We provide our PaaS and digital marketing to SMBs in a wide variety of industry sectors. We believe that SMBs can increase their sales, reach more customers, and promote their products and services using our affordable and cost-effective solutions. We recognize revenue on a pay to use subscription basis when our customers use our PaaS platform to create mobile apps for their business and on our SaaS platform when provisioning services for their marketing campaigns. We also recognize revenue on cost-per-lead (“CPL”) and other metrics for engagements undertaken on a performance marketing basis.

  

Products

 

General

 

Since 2017, we have been focused on enabling mobile commerce via our enhanced platform offered on a PaaS basis, and the Company’s e-wallet initiative. Product launches with our strategic partners DPEX Worldwide Express (S) PTE. Ltd. (Indonesia), BGT Corp Public Company Limited (Thailand), and Augicom Telecom SA (France) are representative of the PaaS platform strategy and product offering. Currently, we offer the following products (each of which is described below): (i) APPLogiq, (ii) PAYLogiq, (iii) GOLogiq; and (iv) the DATALogiq branded consumer data management platform.

 

AppLogiq

 

APPLogiq, the Company’s core product and PaaS, allows SMBs to create mobile apps for their business without the need of technical knowledge, high investment, or background in IT. 

 

APPLogiq has evolved over the course of 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 to capitalize on the immediate opportunity for developing a larger network of valuable users and merchants by developing services that will enable the adoption of mobile commerce across Greater South East Asia and the United States. The platform enhancements have taken the Company’s technology from a standalone “do-it-yourself” (“DIY”) app builder to an enhanced platform built to enable mobile commerce by empowering users to create their own e-commerce and mobile-commerce ecosystem.

 

In 2019, the Company focused on scaling this business model by continuing to develop and expand strategic partnerships that would increase the number of users, and the merchants available to users, of the Company’s products on a PaaS basis. These efforts expanded on the success of recent product launches representative of the PaaS platform strategy and product offerings with our strategic partners, and after extensive discussions with our partners, management believes that supporting these initiatives through deeper engagement, interaction, and co-marketing/sales substantially benefited the Company in 2018 and 2019. As a result, our year-over-year revenues increased by 45% in 2018 and by 52% in 2019. For 2020 over 2019, in spite of COVID-19, the Company worked to improve gross profit margins while reducing older, volume-based, low-margin white-label partnership revenues and, although year-over-year revenues decreased by 34.3%, the gross profits margins improved to approximately 25.8%.

 

PayLogiq

 

Launched in late 2017 as the Company’s e-wallet initiative, PAYLogiq is a ‘consumer facing’ product offering that supports the PaaS strategy developed by the enhancements to the AppLogiq platform providing payment capabilities to users of our platform. Moreover, PAYLogiq is designed to be a robust and universal payment platform, and its growth is therefore not limited to the Company’s PaaS customers alone.

 

Since its launch, PAYLogiq has surpassed the Company’s expectations as it has achieved stronger than anticipated customer traction with limited marketing expense.

GOLogiq

 

GOLogiq is our PaaS platform that provides mobile payment capabilities for the local food delivery service industry. We launched GOLogiq in the fall of 2019 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and as of December 31, 2020, GOLogiq has reached a registered customer base of 166,000 mobile users. The Company plans to continue to reinvest in GOLogiq in order to increase user growth and regional expansion with its unique pedestrian-powered approach to urban food delivery.

 

DATALogiq Consumer Data Management Platform

 

DATALogiq operates a consumer data management platform powered by lead generation, online marketing, and multichannel reengagement strategies through its owned and operated brands.

 

DATALogiq has developed a proprietary data management platform and integrates with several third-party service providers to optimize the return on its marketing efforts. DATALogiq focuses on consumer engagement and data enrichment to maximize its return on acquisition through repeat monetization of each consumer. DATALogiq also licenses its software technology and provides managed technology services to various other e-commerce companies. DATALogiq is located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

 

Product Development

 

DATALogiq is developing an end-to-end marketing technology platform utilizing big data and artificial intelligence (“AI”) for enterprise and SMB clients that will allow clients to develop desired target audiences, activate campaigns, insert creative content and broadcast through a cost-effective advertising channel for the campaign.

 

Development of our software is focused on expanding product lines, designing enhancements to our core technologies, and integrating existing and new products into our principal software architecture and platform technologies. We intend to continue to offer regular updates to our products and to continue to look for opportunities to expand our existing suite of products and services.

 

To date, we have primarily developed products internally, sometimes also licensing or acquiring products, or portions of products, from third parties. These arrangements sometimes require that we pay royalties to third parties. We intend to continue to license or otherwise acquire technology or products from third parties when it makes business sense to do so.

 

In the third quarter of 2020, we rebranded under the Logiq name. Our offerings now extend from mobile commerce and fintech solutions for SMBs, to AI-powered, SaaS-based digital marketing solutions for enterprises and major brands. We believe the Logiq branding better reflects the use of data analytics that underlies both of our business segments.

 

Our customer relationships now range from hundreds of thousands of SMBs around the world to publicly traded Fortune 1000 companies. Among our notable customers are QuinStreet (a marketing technology company), Purple (the creator of the renowned Purple mattress), and Sunrun (a solar company).

 

These new major clients reflect our transformation, which began with the completion of our acquisition of the assets of Push Holdings, Inc. (“Push”). This has led to the streamlining during the third quarter of 2020 of our various brands and business units into two business segments: DATALogiq and APPLogiq.

 

DATALogiq’s data engine uses proprietary methodologies and AI systems to deliver valuable consumer insights that can dramatically enhance the effectiveness, reach, and return on investment of online marketing spend for enterprises and major brands. Alongside DataLogiq is our new Fixel subsidiary that offers simplified online marketing with critical privacy features, and our new Rebel AI subsidiary, that helps SMBs compete more effectively against larger businesses by helping to attract more consumers to their online stores.

 

Our APPLogiq mobile commerce PaaS enables SMBs worldwide to easily create and deploy a native mobile app for their business without technical knowledge or background. APPLogiq empowers businesses to reach more customers, increase sales, manage logistics, and promote their products and services in an easy, affordable and rapid deployment way. Our APPLogiq mobile platform now also includes our PAYLogiq fintech and GOLogiq delivery services that have garnered great interest from potential partners due to the deep consumer data both have been acquiring since their inception.

 

The combination of APPLogiq’s mobile platform and DATALogiq’s data engines offers a uniquely powerful e-commerce and m-commerce platform for many types of businesses and brands. We have and will continue to integrate, existing and new, cutting-edge services with the aim of providing a comprehensive and differentiated e-commerce and m-commerce offering for our existing and interested, new customers.

 

Soon after the close of the Push asset acquisition, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic quickly emerged, with global lockdowns and the corresponding impact on SMBs. Fortunately, due to the diversification of our revenue sources, we have thus far been able to weather the storm. While our APPLogiq m-commerce business, targeted at distributors and SMB end users, has been adversely affected by the lockdown of traditional commercial businesses, our DATALogiq e-commerce data-driven digital marketing business has benefited by shifting to the many solely online businesses that have experienced an uptick in demand due to the pandemic.

Importantly, for DATALogiq, the recent acquisition of Fixel and its audience targeting solution has meant the introduction of a new SaaS revenue stream. Audience targeting is the ability to take the full audience of prospective customers and segment it into groups based on different criteria, including online behavioral characteristics, demographics, interests, and intent. The acquisition reflects our ability to adapt to the substantial industry shift that the end of the third party cookies represents. Fixel provides a timely solution to the loss of third party data that addresses the consumer privacy concerns that gave rise to the coming decline in third party cookies.

 

Our Strategy and Plan of Operations

 

Our growth strategy is a multi-faceted approach, consisting of the following:

 

Development of an end-to-end unified SaaS offering. We expect to unify all of our technology platforms into one framework to provide a streamlined user experience for customers to leverage all of our applications through a SaaS model.

 

Expand our customer base and business relationships. Today, we are already installed in major media companies and technology platforms. We intend to increase the usage of our technology and deepen technology relationships to drive increased revenue.

 

Expand salesforce to acquire new brands and online advertisers. We intend to increase our salesforce to expand our existing business relationships with leading media networks and advertising agencies and to aggressively activate new brand advertiser relationships and business joint ventures.

 

Focus on SMBs. We believe that there is a significant opportunity for an end-to-end advertising and marketing technology solution for SMBs seeking to grow their online sales without dealing with the many challenges of integrating multiple point solutions. We intend to heavily market our platforms to SMBs.

 

Maintain innovation. We continue to develop and introduce new features and improved functionality to our platforms. Key initiatives include development of easy to use self serve platforms for SMBs, and continued development of AI-driven marketing technologies.

 

Assessment of Strategic Alternatives

 

On September 27, 2021, we announced our intention to continue to pursue accretive acquisitions to bolster our DATALogiq business unit and to assess possible strategic alternatives, including the potential spinoff, related to our APPLogiq business. There are no such definitive agreements, acquisition targets or strategic transactions currently in place, but the Company intends to evaluate such opportunities and pursue such objectives in the near future.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in the securities offered. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors,” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed with the SEC, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and documents incorporated herein by reference contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties. We caution readers that any forward-looking statement is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statement. These statements are based on current expectations of future events. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, cost savings, objectives of management, business strategies, debt financing, timing and plans, governmental regulations, the achievement of commercial milestones, the advancement of our technologies and our product offerings, and other statements that are not historical facts. You can find many of these statements by looking for words like “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “project,” “seek” or similar expressions in this prospectus or in documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors created thereby.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from current expectations and projections. Factors that might cause such a difference include those discussed in the heading “Risk Factors,” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or our Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed with the SEC, as well as those discussed in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or, in the case of documents referred to or incorporated by reference, the date of those documents.

 

All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this prospectus or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable U.S. securities law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds to us from the sale of our securities under this prospectus. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include funding product development, increasing our working capital and acquisitions or investments in businesses, products or technologies that are complementary to our own. We will set forth in the prospectus supplement our intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of any securities. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term or long-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus to one or more underwriters for public offering and sale by them, and may also sell the securities to investors directly or through agents. We will name any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of securities in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have reserved the right to sell or exchange securities directly to investors on our own behalf in jurisdictions where we are authorized to do so. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

  at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
     
  at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
     
  at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
     
  at negotiated prices.

 

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis, and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal for resale at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.

 

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and we will provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers, or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimburse them for certain expenses. We may grant underwriters who participate in the distribution of our securities under this prospectus an option to purchase additional securities to cover any over-allotments in connection with the distribution.

The securities we offer under this prospectus may or may not be listed on a securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include short sales of the securities, which involves the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their option to purchase additional securities. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, 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 short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and they may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in these sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. 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. The 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.

 

We will not offer any securities for sale in Canada or to a Canadian resident unless an applicable prospectus and/or prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of the securities to be offered is first approved for filing by the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada where the securities will be offered for sale.

 

We will file a prospectus supplement and related free writing prospectus, if applicable, to describe the terms of any offering of our securities covered by this prospectus. The prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus will disclose:

 

  the terms of the offer;
     
  the names of any underwriters, including any managing underwriters, as well as any dealers or agents;
     
  the purchase price of the securities from us;
     
  the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities;
     
  any delayed delivery arrangements;
     
  any underwriting discounts, commissions or other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, and any commissions paid to agents;
     
  in a subscription rights offering, whether we have engaged dealer-managers to facilitate the offering or subscription, including their name or names and compensation;
     
  any public offering price; and
     
  other facts material to the transaction.

 

We will bear all or substantially all of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of our securities under this prospectus. The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of common stock, at a par value $0.0001 per share. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) out of funds legally available therefore.  In the event we have liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining which are available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision has been made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.  Holders of shares of common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company adopted a Majority Voting Policy (the “Policy”) with respect to the election of directors. Under the Policy, in an uncontested election of directors, any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” than votes “for” his or her election at a meeting of shareholders of the Company must promptly tender his or her resignation to the chairman of the Board. Following receipt of such resignation, the Governance Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) will consider the resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept such tendered resignation. Except in special circumstances, the Committee will be expected to accept and recommend acceptance of the resignation by the Board. A press release disclosing the Board’s determination (and the reasons for rejecting the resignation, if applicable) will be issued within 90 days following the date of the relevant meeting of shareholders and a copy of the press release will be sent concurrently to the NEO Exchange, provided that the Company’s common stock is then listed for trading on the NEO Exchange. The director’s resignation, if accepted, will become effective immediately upon acceptance thereof by the Board.

 

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Policy will not participate in the recommendation of the Committee or the decision of the Board with respect to such resignation.

 

Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable law, where the Board accepts a resignation in accordance with the Policy, the Board may (i) leave the director vacancy unfilled until the next annual meeting of shareholders, (ii) fill the vacancy through the appointment of a new director, or (iii) call a special meeting of shareholders at which a new candidate will be presented to fill the vacant position.

 

The Policy applies only in circumstances involving an uncontested election of directors. For purposes of the Policy, an “uncontested election” of directors of the Company means an election held at any meeting of shareholders called for, either alone or with other matters, the election of directors, with respect to which the number of nominees for election is equal to the number of positions on the Board to be filled through the election to be conducted at such meeting.

 

Because the Policy effectively alters the manner in which directors are currently elected under the Company’s Bylaws, the approval of such Policy is subject to shareholder approval. The Company intends to submit a proposal to shareholders to approve the Policy and related changes to the Company’s Bylaws as soon as reasonably practicable.

 

As of September 16, 2021, there were 26,147,715 shares of our common stock outstanding and held by approximately 614 record holders of record of our common stock. This number was derived from our stockholder records and does not include beneficial holders of our common stock whose shares are held in “street name” with various dealers, clearing agencies, banks, brokers and other fiduciaries.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

There were no equity compensation plans outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

 

On September 30, 2020, the Company adopted an equity compensation plan entitled the Logiq, Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Company reserved up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan.

 

On April 21, 2021, the Company amended and restated its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan to provide that stock options issued under the plan (i) may not be transferred and (ii) may not have an exercise price less than the fair market value (“FMV”) of such stock options as of the grant date. Pursuant to the A&R Plan (as defined below), FMV shall be determined as follows: (i) if the Company’s common stock is then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be either (x) the five-day volume weighted average trading price, calculated by dividing the total value by the total volume of securities traded on a national stock exchange for the relevant period, or (y) the closing price of the Company’s common stock on a national stock exchange on the previous trading day prior to the date of grant of the award; or (y) if the Company’s common stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on a national stock exchange, the FMV shall be a price determined by the administrator of the A&R Plan in good faith using any reasonable method of valuation. In addition, the Company amended and restated the form agreements for awards made pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R Plan”) to reflect the foregoing changes.

 

The A&R Plan remains subject to shareholder approval, which the Company shall undertake to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than one year from the amendment date. In the event that the Company does not obtain the requisite shareholder approval of the A&R Plan within one year, the A&R Plan shall not be effective and the form agreements for awards made thereunder shall revert to their original form.

 

Transfer Agent

 

We have engaged Nevada Agency and Trust Company as our stock transfer agent.  Nevada Agency and Trust Company is located at 50 West Liberty Street, Reno, Nevada 89501. Phone: (775) 332-0626.

 

We have also engaged Odyssey Trust Company as our stock transfer agent in Canada. Odyssey Trust Company is located at: 702, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto ON M5E1JB. Phone: 1-833-394-7716.

 

Market

 

Our common stock is quoted on The OTCQX Market under the symbol, “LGIQ”.

 

Our common stock is also quoted on the NEO Exchange in Canada under the same symbol, “LGIQ”.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Potential Effects of Authorized but Unissued Stock

 

We have shares of common stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval. We may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to facilitate corporate acquisitions or payment as a dividend on the capital stock.

 

The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to discourage a third-party attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, thereby protecting the continuity of our management.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Some provisions of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. Some of these provisions:

 

  authorize our board of directors to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of authorized common stock;
     
  specify that special meetings of our stockholders can be called only by the Chairman of our board of directors, President, or Vice President; and
     
  provide that stockholders will not be allowed to vote cumulatively in the election of directors.

 

It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over the market price for our shares.

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders” from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date these persons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provision may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the board of directors.

 

The provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board of directors and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

General

 

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

 

We will evidence each series of warrants by Warrant certificates (“Warrant Certificates”) that we may issue under one or more warrant indentures (each, a “Warrant Indenture”), which we may enter into with a warrant trustee (the “Warrant Trustee”) that we will name in the relevant prospectus supplement. We may also choose to act as our own Warrant Trustee. We may also issue warrants without the use of a Warrant Indenture, and in such case, all the terms of the warrants shall be included in the form of warrant.

 

This summary of some of the provisions of the warrants is not complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any Warrant Indenture and warrants to be issued under this prospectus are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Warrant Certificate and, if applicable, Warrant Indenture. Prospective investors should refer to the Warrant Certificate and/or Warrant Indenture relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrants. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, any Warrant Certificate and/or Warrant Indenture describing the terms and conditions of warrants we are offering before the issuance of such warrants.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any warrants offered by the Company will describe the particular terms of those warrants and include specific terms relating to the offering.

  the currency or currencies in which the Equity Warrants will be offered;

 

  the date on which the right to exercise the Equity Warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;

  whether we will issue the Equity Warrants as global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary of the global securities;

 

  if applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations;

 

  whether the Equity Warrants will be listed on any exchange; and

  

  any other material terms or conditions of the Equity Warrants.

 

13

 

 

Holders of Equity Warrants will not be entitled:

 

  to vote, consent, or receive dividends;

 

  receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or

 

  exercise any rights as stockholders.

 

Debt Warrants

 

The particular terms of each issue of debt warrants (“Debt Warrants”) will be described in the related prospectus supplement. This description will include, where applicable:

 

  the designation and aggregate number of Debt Warrants;

 

  the price at which the Debt Warrants will be offered;

 

  the currency or currencies in which the Debt Warrants will be offered;

 

  the date on which the right to exercise the Debt Warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;

 

  the principal amount of debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of each Debt Warrant and the price at which and currency or currencies in which that principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon exercise of each Debt Warrant;

 

  the designation and terms of any securities with which the Debt Warrants will be offered, if any, and the number of the Debt Warrants that will be offered with each security;

 

  the date or dates, if any, on or after which the Debt Warrants and the other securities with which the Debt Warrants will be offered will be transferable separately;

 

  the terms and provisions of the debt securities issuable upon the exercise of the Debt Warrants;

 

  the minimum or maximum amount of Debt Warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

  whether the Debt Warrants will be subject to redemption, and, if so, the terms of such redemption provisions;

  

  whether we will issue the Debt Warrants as global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary of the global securities;

 

  if applicable, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax considerations;

 

  whether the Debt Warrants will be listed on any exchange; and

  

  any other material terms or conditions of the Debt Warrants.

 

14

 

 

Holders of Debt Warrants will not be entitled:

 

  to vote, consent, or receive dividends;

 

  receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or

 

  exercise any rights as stockholders.

 

Rights of Holders Prior to Exercise

 

Prior to the exercise of their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the common stock or debt securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

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 therein. 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.

 

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

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the Warrant Certificate properly completed and duly executed at the Company or, if applicable, the corporate trust office of the Warrant Trustee 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.

 

Anti-Dilution

 

The Warrant Certificate and/or Warrant Indenture will specify that upon the subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other material change of the common stock or debt securities or any other reorganization, amalgamation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, the warrants will thereafter evidence the right of the holder to receive the securities, property or cash deliverable in exchange for or on the conversion of or in respect of the common stock or debt securities to which the holder of a common stock or debt security would have been entitled immediately after such event. Similarly, any distribution to all or substantially all of the holders of common stock of rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or assets will result in an adjustment in the number of common stock to be issued to holders of Equity Warrants.

 

Global Securities

 

We may issue warrants in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities, which will be registered in the name of and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. The global securities may be in temporary or permanent form. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any depositary arrangement and the rights and limitations of owners of beneficial interests in any global security. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the exchange, registration and transfer rights relating to any global security.

DESCRIPTION DEBT SECURITIES

 

We may issue debt securities in one or more series under an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be entered into between us and a third party trustee, or may be issued without the use of an indenture. If such debt securities are issued with the use of an Indenture, the Indenture will be subject to and governed by the United States Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). A copy of the form of the Indenture will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and will be filed on SEDAR. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities and is not intended to be complete. For a more complete description, prospective investors should refer to the Indenture and/or the terms of the debt securities, as applicable. If debt securities are issued without the use of an Indenture, all the terms of such debt security shall be included in the form of such debt security. If debt securities are issued, whether pursuant to an Indenture or without an Indenture, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the particular terms and provisions of any series of debt securities and a description of how the general terms and provisions described below may apply to that series of debt securities. Prospective investors should rely on information in the applicable prospectus supplement and not on the following information to the extent that the information in such prospectus supplement is different from the following information. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, any supplemental indenture describing the terms and conditions of debt securities we are offering before the issuance of such debt securities.

 

We may issue debt securities and incur additional indebtedness other than through the offering of debt securities pursuant to this prospectus.

 

If we issue debt securities pursuant to an Indenture, the following provisions shall apply unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to such issuance of debt securities:


General

 

The Indenture will not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue under the Indenture and will not limit the amount of other indebtedness that we may incur. The Indenture will provide that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any foreign currency. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured obligations of the Company. The Indenture will also permit the Company to increase the principal amount of any series of the debt securities previously issued and to issue that increased principal amount.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement for any series of debt securities that we offer will describe the specific terms of the debt securities and may include, but is not limited to, any of the following:

 

  the title of the debt securities;

 

  the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities;

 

  the percentage of principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued;

 

  whether payment on the debt securities will be senior or subordinated to our other liabilities or obligations;

 

  whether payment of the debt securities will be guaranteed by any other person;

 

16

 

 

  the date or dates, or the methods by which such dates will be determined or extended, on which we may issue the debt securities and the date or dates, or the methods by which such dates will be determined or extended, on which we will pay the principal and any premium on the debt securities and the portion (if less than the principal amount) of debt securities to be payable upon a declaration of acceleration of maturity;  

 

  whether the debt securities will bear interest, the interest rate (whether fixed or variable) or the method of determining the interest rate, the date from which interest will accrue, the dates on which we will pay interest and the record dates for interest payments, or the methods by which such dates will be determined or extended;

 

  the place or places we will pay principal, premium, if any, and interest and the place or places where debt securities can be presented for registration of transfer or exchange;    

 

whether and under what circumstances we will be required to pay any additional amounts for withholding or deduction for taxes with respect to the debt securities, and whether and on what terms we will have the option to redeem the debt securities rather than pay the additional amounts;
   
  whether we will be obligated to redeem or repurchase the debt securities pursuant to any sinking or purchase fund or other provisions, or at the option of a holder and the terms and conditions of such redemption;

 

  whether we may redeem the debt securities prior to maturity and the terms and conditions of any such redemption;

 

  the denominations in which we will issue any registered debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any multiple of $l,000 and, if other than denominations of $5,000, the denominations in which any unregistered debt security shall be issuable;  

 

  whether we will make payments on the debt securities in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars or by delivery of our common shares or other property;  

 

  whether payments on the debt securities will be payable with reference to any index, formula or other method;

 

  whether we will issue the debt securities as global securities and, if so, the identity of the depositary for the global securities;  

 

  whether we will issue the debt securities as unregistered securities, registered securities or both;

 

  any changes or additions to events of default or covenants whether or not such events of default or covenants are consistent with the events of default or covenants in the Indenture;

 

  the applicability of, and any changes or additions to, the provisions for defeasance described under “Defeasance” below;

 

  whether the holders of any series of debt securities have special rights if specified events occur;

 

  the terms, if any, for any conversion or exchange of the debt securities for any other securities;

 

  provisions as to modification, amendment or variation of any rights or terms attaching to the debt securities; and  

 

  any other terms, conditions, rights and preferences (or limitations on such rights and preferences) including covenants and events of default which apply solely to a particular series of the debt securities being offered which do not apply generally to other debt securities, or any covenants or events of default generally applicable to the debt securities which do not apply to a particular series of the debt securities.   

 

17

 

 

Unless stated otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, no holder of debt securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the debt securities and there will be no increase in the interest rate if we become involved in a highly leveraged transaction or if the Company has a change of control.

 

We may issue debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, and offer and sell the debt securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. We may also sell any of the debt securities for a foreign currency or currency unit, and payments on the debt securities may be payable in a foreign currency or currency unit.

 

We may issue debt securities with terms different from those of debt securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, we may reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of such series (unless the reopening was restricted when such series was created).

 

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

 

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and other subordinated debt from time to time outstanding and equally with other debt securities issued under the Indenture. The Indenture will provide that the debt securities will be subordinated to and junior in right of payment to all present and future Senior Indebtedness. “Senior Indebtedness” will be defined in the Indenture as: (a) all indebtedness of the Company in respect of borrowed money, other than: (i) indebtedness evidenced by the debt securities; and (ii) indebtedness which, by the terms of the instrument creating or evidencing it, is expressed to rank in right of payment equally with or subordinate to the indebtedness evidenced by the debt securities; (b) all obligations of the Company for the reimbursement of amounts paid pursuant to any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance or similar credit transaction; and (c) all obligations of the type referred to in paragraphs (a) through (b) above of other persons for the payment of which we are responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise. For greater certainty, “Senior Indebtedness” will include all indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money which is outstanding as at the date of the Indenture.

 

The Board may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of debt securities will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of our other liabilities and obligations, other than Senior Indebtedness, and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed by any other person and the nature and priority of any security.

 

Debt Securities in Global Form

 

The Depositary and Book-Entry

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, a series of the debt securities may be issued in whole or in part in global form as a “global security” and will be registered in the name of or issued in bearer form and be deposited with a depositary, or its nominee, each of which will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to that series. Unless and until exchanged, in whole or in part, for the debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary or by the depositary or any such nominee to a successor of the depositary or a nominee of the successor.

 

The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a particular series of the debt securities to be represented by a global security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such series. We anticipate that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

 

18

 

 

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary therefor or its nominee will credit, on its book entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of such persons, designated as “participants”, having accounts with such depositary or its nominee. Such accounts shall be designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities or by the Company if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary therefor or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) or by participants or persons that hold through participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states in the United States may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form.

 

So long as the depositary for a global security or its nominee is the registered owner of the global security or holder of a global security in bearer form, such depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have a series of the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such series of the debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the Indenture.

 

Any payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on global securities registered in the name of a depositary or securities registrar will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security representing such debt securities. None of the Company, any trustee or any paying agent for the debt securities represented by the global securities will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

We expect that the depositary for a global security or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the records of such depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name”, and will be the responsibility of such participants.

 

Discontinuance of Depositary’s Services

 

If a depositary for a global security representing a particular series of the debt securities is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or, if at any time the depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue such series of the debt securities in definitive form in exchange for a global security representing such series of the debt securities. If an event of default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing, debt securities in definitive form will be printed and delivered upon written request by the holder to the trustee. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine not to have a series of the debt securities represented by a global security and, in such event, will issue a series of the debt securities in definitive form in exchange for all of the global securities representing that series of debt securities.

 

Debt Securities in Definitive Form

 

A series of the debt securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered securities, solely as unregistered securities or as both registered securities and unregistered securities. Registered securities will be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 and unregistered securities will be issuable in denominations of $5,000 and integral multiples of $5,000 or, in each case, in such other denominations as may be set out in the terms of the debt securities of any particular series. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will have interest coupons attached.

 

19

 

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities (other than global securities) will be made at the office or agency designated by the Company, or at our option we can pay principal, interest, if any, and premium, if any, by check mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the trustee or electronic funds wire or other transmission to an account of persons who meet certain thresholds set out in the Indenture who are entitled to receive payments by wire transfer. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the debt securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by us.

 

At the option of the holder of debt securities, registered securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount. If, but only if, provided in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such event, unregistered securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of the debt securities in definitive form. Service charges may be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities in definitive form, and we may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

 

We shall not be required to:

 

  issue or register the transfer of or exchange any series of the debt securities in definitive form during a period beginning at the opening of 15 business days before any selection of securities of that series of the debt securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant date of notice of such redemption, as provided in the Indenture;  

 

  register the transfer of or exchange any registered security in definitive form, or portion thereof, called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any registered security being redeemed in part;

 

  exchange any unregistered security called for redemption except to the extent that such unregistered security may be exchanged for a registered security of that series and like tenor; provided that such registered security will be simultaneously surrendered for redemption with written instructions for payment consistent with the provisions of the Indenture; or

 

  issue or register the transfer of or exchange any of the debt securities in definitive form which have been surrendered for repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such debt securities not to be so repaid.  

 

20

 

 

Merger, Amalgamation or Consolidation

 

The Indenture will provide that we may not amalgamate or consolidate with, merge into or enter into any statutory arrangement with any other person or, directly or indirectly, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to another person, unless among other items:

 

  the resulting, surviving or transferee person, if other than the Company, assumes all of our obligations under the debt securities and the Indenture; and

 

  immediately after the transaction, no default or event of default under the Indenture shall have happened and be continuing.

 

When such a successor person assumes our obligations in such circumstances, subject to certain exceptions, we shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the debt securities and the Indenture.

 

Events of Default

 

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of debt securities, the following is a summary of events which will, with respect to any series of the debt securities, constitute an event of default under the Indenture with respect to the debt securities of that series:

 

  we fail to pay principal of, or any premium on, or any additional amounts in respect of, any debt security of that series when it is due and payable;

 

  we fail to pay interest (including additional amounts) payable on any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and such default continues for 30 days;

 

  we fail to make any required sinking fund or analogous payment for that series of debt securities;

 

  we fail to observe or perform any of our covenants or agreements in the Indenture that affect or are applicable to the debt securities of that series for 90 days after written notice to us by the trustee or to us and the trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series;   

 

  a default (as defined in any indenture or instrument under which we or one of our subsidiaries has at the date of the Indenture or will thereafter have outstanding any indebtedness) has occurred and is continuing, or we or any of our subsidiaries has failed to pay principal amounts with respect to such indebtedness at maturity and such event of default or failure to pay has resulted in such indebtedness under such indenture or instrument being declared due, payable or otherwise being accelerated;

  

  certain events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization; and

 

  any other event of default provided for in that series of debt securities.

 

A default under one series of debt securities will not necessarily be a default under another series. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of the debt securities of any default, except in the payment of principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, if in good faith it considers it in the interests of the holders to do so and so advises us in writing.

 

21

 

 

If an event of default (except for events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) for any series of debt securities occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series may require us to repay immediately:

 

  the entire principal and interest of the debt securities of the series; or

 

  if the debt securities are discounted securities, that portion of the principal as is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

If an event of default relates to events involving our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal of all debt securities will become immediately due and payable without any action by the trustee or any holder.

 

Subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series can rescind and annul an accelerated payment requirement. If debt securities are discounted securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will contain provisions relating to the acceleration of maturity of a portion of the principal amount of the discounted securities upon the occurrence or continuance of an event of default.

 

Other than its duties in case of a default, the trustee is not obligated to exercise any of the rights or powers that it will have under the Indenture at the request or direction of any holders, unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. If they provide this reasonable security or indemnity, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of any series of debt securities may, subject to certain limitations, direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee, for any series of debt securities.

 

We will be required to furnish to the trustee a statement annually as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture and, if we are not in compliance, we must specify any defaults. We will also be required to notify the trustee as soon as practicable upon becoming aware of any event of default.

 

No holder of a debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy, unless:

 

  the holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to the debt securities of the affected series;
     

  the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series affected by an event of default have made a written request, and the holders have offered reasonable indemnity, to the trustee to institute a proceeding as trustee; and

 

  the trustee has failed to institute a proceeding, and has not received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the series affected by an event of default a direction inconsistent with the request, within 60 days after receipt of the holders’ notice, request and offer of indemnity.  

 

However, such above-mentioned limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the holder of a debt security for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any premium, if any, or interest on such debt security on or after the applicable due date specified in such debt security.

 

22

 

 

Defeasance

 

When we use the term “defeasance”, it means discharge from our obligations with respect to any debt securities of or within a series under the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, if we deposit with the trustee cash, government securities or a combination thereof sufficient to pay the principal, interest, if any, premium, if any, and any other sums due to the stated maturity date or a redemption date of the debt securities of a series, then at our option:

 

  we will be discharged from the obligations with respect to the debt securities of that series; or

 

  we will no longer be under any obligation to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the Indenture and certain events of default will no longer apply to us.

 

If this happens, the holders of the debt securities of the affected series will not be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture except for registration of transfer and exchange of debt securities and the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated debt securities. These holders may look only to the deposited fund for payment on their debt securities.

 

To exercise the defeasance option, we must deliver to the trustee:

 

  an opinion of counsel in the United States to the effect that the holders of the outstanding debt securities of the affected series will not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of a defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance had not occurred;

  

  a certificate of one of our officers and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to defeasance have been complied with.

 

If we are to be discharged from our obligations with respect to the debt securities, and not just from our covenants, the U.S. opinion must be based upon a ruling from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect.

 

In addition to the delivery of the opinions described above, the following conditions must be met before we may exercise our defeasance option:

 

  no event of default or event that, with the passing of time or the giving of notice, or both, shall constitute an event of default shall have occurred and be continuing for the debt securities of the affected series;

 

  we are not an “insolvent person” within the meaning of applicable bankruptcy and insolvency legislation; and

 

  other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

 

The Trustee

 

Any trustee under the Indenture or its affiliates may provide other services to the Company in the ordinary course of their business. If the trustee or any affiliate acquires any conflicting interest and a default occurs with respect to the debt securities, the trustee must eliminate the conflict or resign.

 

Resignation and Removal of Trustee

 

The trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of the debt securities and a successor trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series.

 

23

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

 

General

 

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock or the other securities described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, common stock or warrants, debt securities, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights. We will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:

 

the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;

 

the aggregate number of shares of common stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

 

the exercise price;

 

the aggregate number of rights issued;

 

whether the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;

 

the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence, and the date on which the right to exercise the rights will expire;

 

the method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise;

 

the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;

 

the withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;

 

whether there are any backstop or standby purchaser or purchasers and the terms of their commitment, if any;

any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

 

any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as applicable.

 

24

 

 

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we plan to adopt provisions in our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or

 

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

 

II-1

 

 

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our amended and restated bylaws provide that:

 

we may indemnify our directors, officers, and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;

 

we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and

 

the rights provided in our amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

 

We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

 

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

 

In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of common stock being registered hereby, the underwriters will agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Securities Act, against certain liabilities.

 

Item 16. Exhibits

 

The exhibits listed in the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed (except where otherwise indicated) as part of this Registration Statement.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

  (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post- effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

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

 

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

 

II-3

 

 

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

 

  (i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
     
  (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall

 

be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided,  however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

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

 

  (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
     
  (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
     
  (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
     
  (iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

 

II-4

 

 

(b) That for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report, to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
   
(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(e) If and when applicable, the Registrant hereby further undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
