PROSPECTUS

 

PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc.

 

153,866,938 Shares of Common Stock

 

This prospectus relates to the resale or other disposition from time to time of up to an aggregate of 153,866,938 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), issuable upon the conversion of shares of our newly designated Series B convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Shares”) and shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants (the “Warrants”). The Preferred Shares and Warrants were acquired by the selling stockholders under the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 9, 2023, by and among the Company and the investors listed therein (the “Investors”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares are herein referred to as “Conversion Shares,” and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are herein referred to as “Warrant Shares.”

 

We are registering the resale of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares covered by this prospectus as required by the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 9, 2023, by and among the Company and the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from any sales of the shares offered hereby. We will not receive any of the proceeds, but we will incur expenses in connection with the offering. To the extent the Warrants are exercised for cash, if at all, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants.

 

The selling stockholders may sell these shares through public or private transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. The timing and amount of any sale are within the sole discretion of the selling stockholders. Our registration of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell any of the shares. For further information regarding the possible methods by which the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares may be distributed, see “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PMCB.” The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on September 20, 2023 was $2.34 per share.

 

Investing in our Common Stock is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. Please consider carefully the specific factors set forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this prospectus and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the disclosures in this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

The date of this prospectus is                   , 2023.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to which the selling stockholders named herein may, from time to time, offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus. You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front cover of this prospectus or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus is delivered or shares of Common Stock are sold or otherwise disposed of on a later date. It is important for you to read and consider all information contained in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, in making your investment decision. You should also read and consider the information in the documents to which we have referred you under “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference” in this prospectus.

 

We have not authorized anyone to give any information or to make any representation to you other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.  This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of our shares of Common Stock other than the shares of our Common Stock covered hereby, nor does this prospectus constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. Persons who come into possession of this prospectus in jurisdictions outside the United States are required to inform themselves about, and to observe, any restrictions as to the offering and the distribution of this prospectus applicable to those jurisdictions.

 

Unless we have indicated otherwise, or the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to “PharmaCyte,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves significant risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully 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 which 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. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.

 

You will suffer dilution should the holders of the Warrants and the Preferred Shares exercise and/or convert their Warrants and Preferred Shares, as applicable.

 

We will be obligated to issue Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants and Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares by their respective holders. The Warrants are exercisable for up to 8,750,000 Warrant Shares. The Preferred Shares are initially convertible into up to 8,750,000 Conversion Shares. However, if we elect, in our sole discretion, to make Installment Conversions (i.e., installment payments paid in shares of Common Stock), the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued per Installment Conversion will fluctuate based on prevailing market prices, subject to floor price provisions contained in the Certificate of Designations preventing Installment Conversions below a certain share price. Thus, the lower the market price of our Common Stock at the time of any Installment Conversion, the more shares of Common Stock we may be required to issue in connection with such Installment Conversion. Further, if at any point we elect to make an Installment Conversion, we will also have the option, in our sole discretion, to pay the holders of the Preferred Shares dividends in Common Stock rather than cash, and this would result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock. We have the option to make Installment Redemptions (i.e., installment payments paid in cash) instead of Installment Conversions and to pay dividends in cash rather than shares of Common Stock, and as of the date of this filing, we have sufficient cash on hand to make all installment and dividend payments in cash. However, as time passes and depending on how we conserve our cash in the future, we may at times determine to make installment or dividend payments in shares of Common Stock.

 

To the extent the holders exercise their Warrants at the Exercise Price and/or convert the Preferred Shares at the Conversion Price and then sell the resulting Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares, the market price of our Common Stock may decrease due to the additional amount of outstanding shares. If we elect to make Installment Conversions or pay dividends in shares of Common Stock, each in our sole discretion, this may result in us issuing a greater number of shares to the holders of the Preferred Shares, and the sales of any such additional shares may depress the stock price.

 

As disclosed above, we recently filed an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, to increase our total number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 200,000,000 shares. To the extent that we take advantage of this increase to issue a substantial number of shares of Common Stock, including pursuant to our equity incentive plans and other potential future transactions, additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholder would result and could place downward pressure on our stock price.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include 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 (the “Exchange Act”), that relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “targets,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “continue,” and similar expressions or phrases, or the negative of those expressions or phrases, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this prospectus and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, we caution you that these statements are based on our projections of the future that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, to differ. The sections in our periodic reports, including 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, entitled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as other sections in this prospectus and the other documents or reports incorporated by reference in this prospectus, discuss some of the factors that could contribute to these differences. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements about:

 

	·	our expectations of future revenues, expenditures, capital or other funding requirements;
	·	the inherent uncertainties of product development based on our new and as yet not fully proven technologies;
	·	the risks and uncertainties regarding the actual effect on humans of seemingly safe and efficacious formulations and treatments when tested clinically;
	·	the inherent uncertainties associated with clinical trials of product candidates;
	·	the inherent uncertainties associated with the process of obtaining regulatory clearance or approval to market product candidates;
	·	the inherent uncertainties associated with commercialization of products that have received regulatory clearance or approval;
	·	economic and industry conditions generally and in our specific markets; and
	·	the volatility of, and decline in, our stock price; and
	·	other factors described from time to time in documents that we file with the SEC.

 

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important cautionary statements in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. For a summary of such factors, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus, as updated and supplemented by the discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus and 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, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this document is believed to be current as of the date of this document. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

 

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus, and the selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from this offering. We may receive up to approximately $35 million in aggregate gross proceeds in the event all of the Warrants are exercised for cash. Any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the Warrants will be used for general corporate purpose. The holders of the Warrants are not obligated to exercise their Warrants for cash, and we cannot predict whether holders of the Warrants will choose to exercise all or any of their Warrants for cash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The Common Stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, see “Private Placement of Preferred Shares and Warrants” above. We are registering the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and except as disclosed in our periodic reports and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of Common Stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column (titled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering”) lists the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Shares and Warrants as of July 24, 2023, assuming conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants and any other warrants held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises for the Preferred Shares and Warrants, but giving effect to any limitations on exercises for securities held prior to the Private Placement.

 

The third column (titled “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock to be Sold Pursuant to this Prospectus”) lists the shares of Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the Preferred Shares set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the Warrants set forth therein.

 

This prospectus generally covers the resale of 153,866,938 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are registering the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Preferred Shares (assuming for purposes hereof that the Preferred Shares are convertible at the Floor Price of $0.556), including payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares through May 10, 2025 in the form of shares of Common Stock, and (ii) 200% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, in each case, determined as if the outstanding Preferred Shares (including dividends on the Preferred Shares through May 10, 2025) and Warrants were converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained therein solely for the purpose of such calculation).

 

Because the conversion price of the Preferred Shares and the exercise price of the Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth and fifth columns (titled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering” and “Beneficial Ownership Following Offering”) assume the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Certain of the selling stockholders participated in the Tender Offer (as defined below). To the extent the Company purchased any of a selling stockholder’s shares of Common Stock in the Tender Offer, the second and fourth columns (titled “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned Prior to Offering” and “Number of Shares of Common Stock Owned After Offering”) give effect to such purchase.

 

Under the terms of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the Preferred Shares or exercise the Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99%, or, at the election of the selling stockholder, 9.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number of shares in the fourth column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares and exercise of the Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of Common Stock by the holders of the Preferred Shares and Warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock, although we will receive the exercise price of any Warrants not exercised by the selling stockholders on a cashless exercise basis. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of Common Stock.

 

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of Common Stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

	·	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
	·	in the over-the-counter market;
	·	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;
	·	through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;
	·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
	·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
	·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
	·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
	·	privately negotiated transactions;
	·	short sales made after the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, is declared effective by the SEC;
	·	broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
	·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and
	·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of Common Stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Common Stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

 

 

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Preferred Shares, Warrants or shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of Common Stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of Common Stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of Common Stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Common Stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be approximately $45,000 in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

 

The SEC allows us to incorporate by reference the information we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document that we have filed separately with the SEC. You should read the information incorporated by reference because it is an important part of this prospectus. Information in this prospectus supersedes information incorporated by reference that we filed with the SEC prior to the date of this prospectus, while information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede the information in this prospectus. We incorporate by reference into this prospectus and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the information or documents listed below that we have filed with the SEC (Commission File No. 001-40699):

Information in such future filings updates and supplements the information provided in this prospectus.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

 

The following table sets forth all costs and expenses payable by the Registrant, in connection with the sale of the securities being registered under this registration statement. All amounts shown are estimates except for the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, registration fee.

 

		Amount
SEC registration fee		$	40,016.48
Legal fees and expenses		$	30,000.00
Accounting fees and expenses		$	5,000.00
Total		$	75,016.48

 

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our directors and officers are indemnified as permitted by our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”), our bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”) and the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). We believe that the indemnity and limitation of liability provisions contained in the indemnification agreements that we have with our officers and directors are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons for those positions. No pending material litigation or proceeding involving our directors, executive officers, employees or other agents as to which indemnification is being sought exists, and we are not aware of any pending or threatened material litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any of our directors or executive officers.

 

The following is a summary of the relevant provisions in our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Nevada law with regard to limitation of liability and indemnification of our directors and officers. The full provisions are contained in the NRS and such documents.

 

Limitation of Liability

 

The NRS provide that an officer or director of a Nevada corporation will not be liable for acts or omissions unless:

 

	·	The presumption that the officer or director acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation is rebutted;
	·	It is proven that the officer's or director's acts or omissions constituted a breach of fiduciary duties; and
	·	It is proven that such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law.

 

 

 

 

Indemnification

 

The indemnification agreements that we have with our officers and directors provide for their indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law. Our Bylaws and the NRS provide that we may indemnify our directors and officers who were or are a party or are threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, lawsuit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, lawsuit, or proceeding as long as such person:

 

	·	Is not liable under Section 78.138 of the NRS, i.e., exercised his or her powers as a director or officer of the corporation in good faith and with a view to the interests of the corporation; and
	·	Acted in good faith and in a manner that such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the corporation, or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

We are required to indemnify any director or officer against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by such person who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding.

 

We will advance expenses of any director or officer incurred in defending any civil or criminal action, lawsuit, or proceeding and such director or officer must repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

 

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against these types of liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, lawsuit or proceeding, is asserted by 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 indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, both of which are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares.

 

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

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

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

 

 

 

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m or 78o(d)) that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

 

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

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

 

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

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of these securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering.
