Common Stock

 

We have entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement, dated March 25, 2022 (the “Original ATM Agreement”), and an amendment thereto on May 28, 2024 (the “ATM Agreement Amendment”), which we refer to herein, as amended, as the ATM Agreement, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or Wainwright or the Manager, as the sales agent, relating to the sale of shares of our common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the ATM Agreement, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock, $0.001 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $2,684,644 from time to time through the Manager.

 

Our common stock is quoted on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “BTCY.” On May 22, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $1.24 per share.

 

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made by any method permitted that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law.

 

The Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities but will act as our sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between the Manager and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

The compensation to the Manager for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement will be an amount equal to 3% of the aggregate gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold under the ATM Agreement. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, the Manager will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Manager will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Manager with respect to certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates is approximately $15,541,169, which is calculated based on 10,500,790 shares of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates and a price of $1.48 per share, the closing price of our common stock on April 18, 2024, which is the highest closing sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq within the 60 days prior to the date of this prospectus supplement. During the prior twelve calendar month period that ends on and includes the date hereof, we have offered and sold $2,495,745 of shares of our common stock pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 to Form S-3.

 

Investing in our common stock involves significant risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement, page 6 of the accompanying prospectus and under similar headings in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

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 this prospectus supplement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co.

 

The date of this prospectus supplement is May 28, 2024.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information about our Company, this offering and information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus, and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus supplement, and the financial statements and notes incorporated by reference herein, before making an investment decision. This prospectus supplement may add to, update or change information in the accompanying prospectus.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We first focused on a segment of the ambulatory diagnostic cardiac market, otherwise known as COM, while also providing the capability to perform all types of ambulatory cardiac studies.

 

We developed our Bioflux® COM technology, which has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, comprised of a monitoring device and software components, which we made available to the market under limited release on April 6, 2018, to assess, establish and develop sales processes and market dynamics. Full market release of the Bioflux device for commercialization occurred in April 2019. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 marked our first year of expanded commercialization efforts, focused on sales growth and expansion. In 2021, we announced the initial launch of Bioheart, a direct-to-consumer heart monitor that offers the same continuous heart monitoring technology used by physicians. In addition to developing and receiving regulatory approval or clearance of other technologies that enhance our ecosystem, in 2022, we announced the launch of our Biotres Cardiac Monitoring Device, a three-lead device for ECG and arrhythmia monitoring intended for lower risk patients, a much broader addressable market segment. We have since expanded our sales efforts to 33 states, with intention to expand further and compete in the broader US market using an insourcing business model. Our technology has a large potential total addressable market, which can include hospitals, clinics and physicians’ offices, as well as other Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities. We believe our technological and clinical advantage with our solution’s insourcing model, which empowers physicians with state-of-the-art technology and charges technology service fees for its use, has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead for us, and enables a more efficient market penetration and distribution strategy.

 

We are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. Our ability to grow this type of revenue is predicated on the size and quality of our sales force and their ability to penetrate the market and place devices with clinically focused, repeat users of our cardiac study technology. We plan to grow our sales force to address new markets and achieve sales penetration in the markets currently served.

 

Recent Developments

 

On March 25, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor for the issuance and sale, in a private placement of 110 shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $9,090.91 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. Subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions set forth in the purchase agreement, at any time prior to the 30th calendar day following the initial closing date, we had the right to require the investor to consummate a second closing to purchase an additional 110 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $9,090.91 per share for gross proceeds of $1,000,000. The first closing of the sale of the initial 110 shares of Series B Preferred Stock was effected on March 25, 2024. On April 30, 2024, we consummated the second closing pursuant to the purchase agreement and sold to the investor an additional 39 shares of Series B Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $354,545. On May 15, 2024, we consummated the third closing pursuant to the purchase agreement pursuant to which we sold 71 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the investor for gross proceeds of $645,455.

Before purchasing our common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below, as well as all other information contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and incorporated by reference, including our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and the additional risk factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC, before deciding whether to invest in our common stock.

See the section entitled “Forward-Looking Information”.

 

Risks Related to this Offering.

 

If we are unable to continue to meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock will be delisted.

 

On August 1, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq granted the Company 180 calendar days, or until January 29, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

 

On January 30, 2024, the Company received a delisting determination letter from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date because the Company’s MVLS did not close at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date. The Company submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. A hearing was held on April 9, 2024, at which time the Company presented a plan to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

 

On April 23, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Panel granted its request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company meeting certain milestones including an increase in its outstanding shares of common stock through the issuance of shares of stock in certain stock offerings and upon the conversion of certain convertible securities, the receipt of shareholder approval of certain actions and on or before July 29, 2024, the Company regaining compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On May 1, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that it is not in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) requiring that the Company hold an annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months of the end of its fiscal year. The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to its compliance with the other continued listing requirements.

 

In the letter dated May 1, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that this serves as an additional basis for delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and that the letter was formal notification that Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel will consider the matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq following the Company’s recent hearing before the Panel on April 9, 2024. The Company was instructed to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing no later than May 8, 2024, which the Company did.

 

If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

 

S-4

 

 

The common stock offered hereby will be sold in “at-the-market” offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

 

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

 

The actual number of shares of common stock we will issue under the ATM Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the ATM Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a sales notice to the Manager as our sales agent at any time throughout the term of the ATM Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by the Manager after delivering a sales notice will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Manager. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued.

 

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds, and we may use the proceeds in ways in which you and other stockholders may disagree.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. The failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business or cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase in the offering.

 

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023. Assuming that we sell an aggregate of 2,165,035 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,684,644, after deducting estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of approximately $2.98 per share, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may be less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $2,684,644 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the maximum net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering may be up to approximately $2.48 million and after deducting the Manager’s commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

S-5

 

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from this offering. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in using these proceeds. Investors will be relying on our judgment regarding the use of the net proceeds from this offering. Pending the use of proceeds as described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds that we receive in short-term and intermediate-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade investments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. We cannot predict whether the invested proceeds will yield a favorable return.

 

DILUTION

 

Purchasers of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of common stock.

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 was $(27,756,354), or $(3.00) per share of our common stock, based on 9,262,912 shares of common stock, which includes 9,258,957 shares of common stock outstanding and 3,955 to be issued shares of common stock. Historical net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, including to be issued shares of common stock, as of December 31, 2023.

 

During the period from December 31, 2023 to May 22, 2024, the Company issued 85,000 shares of common stock as equity-based compensation to an advisor, and sold 89,709 shares of common stock to an investor for net proceeds of $116,188. During this same period, the Company issued 1,344,709 shares of common stock and 164,186 to be issued shares of common stock, pursuant to the conversion of convertible notes. The Company also issued during this period 657,590 shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock. After giving effect to such issuances of common stock as well as the additional to be issued shares of common stock, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would have been approximately ($26,499,679), or approximately $(2.28) per share of common stock based on 11,604,106 shares of common stock, which includes 11,435,965 shares of common stock outstanding and 168,141 to be issued shares of common stock.

 

The shares in this offering will be sold at market prices which may fluctuate substantially. For purposes of calculating dilution, we have assumed a sale price of $1.24 per share, which was the closing price of our stock on May 22, 2024.

 

After giving effect to the assumed sale of 2,165,035 shares of our common stock at an assumed public offering price of $1.24 per share, deducting estimated commissions and offering expenses payable by us, and giving effect to the issuances of common stock after December 31, 2023, our as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would have been approximately ($24,020,573), or $(1.74) per share of common stock, including 168,141 to be issued shares of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted pro forma net tangible book value of $0.54 per share to existing stockholders and immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $2.98 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering at the public offering price. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

 

Assumed public offering price per share      $1.24 
Historical net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023  $(3.00)     
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023, attributable to current shareholders before giving effect to this offering  $0.72      
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023, before giving effect to this offering  $(2.28)     
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering  $ 0.54       
           
As adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023 after giving effect to this offering       $ (1.74 )
           
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering       $ 2.98  

 

S-6

 

 

This information in the table above is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered.

 

The above discussion and table is based on 9,419,629 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2023, and excludes (except as otherwise indicated) prior to adjustments, as of such date:

 

160,672 shares of common stock, issuable upon exchange of an equivalent number of Exchangeable Shares;
1,240,261 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.32 per share;
2,219,226 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $6.06 per share;
6,304 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 220 shares of Series B Preferred Stock convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices; and
$7,922,097 in convertible notes convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into the ATM Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC as Manager, under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through the Manager acting as a sales agent, including sales having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $2,684,644 pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

 

The Manager may sell the shares of common stock by any method that is deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market, the existing trading market for our common stock, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law.

 

The Manager will offer the shares of our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Manager. We will designate the maximum number of shares of common stock to be sold through the Manager on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum number together with the Manager. Subject to the terms and conditions of the ATM Agreement, the Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock so designated or determined. We may instruct the Manager not to sell shares of common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. We or the Manger may suspend the offering of shares of common stock being made through the Manager under the ATM Agreement upon proper notice to the other party.

 

We will pay the Manager a commission, in cash, for its services in acting as agent in the sale of our common stock at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of our common stock. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Wainwright for certain specified fees and documented expenses, including the fees and documented expenses of its legal counsel in an amount not to exceed $65,000 (including $50,000 in connection with the Original ATM Agreement and $15,000 in connection with the ATM Agreement Amendment), as provided in the ATM Agreement. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, we agreed to reimburse the Manager for the documented fees and costs of its legal counsel reasonably incurred in connection with the Manager’s ongoing diligence, drafting and other filing requirements arising from the transactions contemplated by the ATM Agreement in an amount not to exceed $2,500 in the aggregate per calendar quarter. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to the Manager under the terms of the ATM Agreement, will be approximately $125,000.

 

S-7

 

 

Settlement for sales of common stock will occur on the first business day following the date on which any sales are made, or such shorter settlement cycle that is in effect under Exchange Act Rule 15c6-1 from time to time, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and the Manager in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Manager may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

The Manager is not required to sell any certain number of shares or dollar amount of our common stock, but the Manager will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, subject to the conditions set forth in the ATM Agreement. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, the Manager will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Manager will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Manager against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

Under the terms of the ATM Agreement, we also may sell shares of our common stock to the Manager, as principal for its own account, at a price per share agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares to the Manager as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with the sales agent and we will describe the agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein and does not contain all the information that may be important to purchasers of our securities. Prospective purchasers of our securities should carefully read the entire prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, including the risks of investing in our securities discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Prospective purchasers of our securities should also carefully read the information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our financial statements, and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Overview

 

We are a medical technology company focused on biometric data monitoring solutions. Our aim is to deliver innovative, remote monitoring solutions to the medical, healthcare, and consumer markets, with a focus on diagnostic and post-diagnostic solutions for lifestyle and chronic illnesses. We approach the diagnostic side of remote patient monitoring by applying innovation within existing business models where reimbursement is established. We believe this approach reduces the risk associated with traditional medical device development and accelerates the path to revenue. In post-diagnostic markets, we intend to apply medical grade biometrics to enable consumers to self-manage, thereby driving patient compliance and reducing healthcare costs. We first focused on a segment of the ambulatory diagnostic cardiac market, otherwise known as COM, while also providing the capability to perform all types of ambulatory cardiac studies.

 

We developed our Bioflux® (“Bioflux”) COM technology, which has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), comprised of a monitoring device and software components, which we made available to the market under limited release on April 6, 2018, to assess, establish and develop sales processes and market dynamics. Full market release of the Bioflux device for commercialization occurred in April 2019. The fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 marked our first year of expanded commercialization efforts, focused on sales growth and expansion. In 2021, we announced the initial launch of Bioheart, a direct-to-consumer heart monitor that offers the same continuous heart monitoring technology used by physicians. In addition to developing and receiving regulatory approval or clearance of other technologies that enhance our ecosystem, in 2022, we announced the launch of our Biotres Cardiac Monitoring Device (“Biotres”), a three-lead device for ECG and arrhythmia monitoring intended for lower risk patients, a much broader addressable market segment. We have since expanded our sales efforts to 33 states, with intention to expand further and compete in the broader US market using an insourcing business model. Our technology has a large potential total addressable market, which can include hospitals, clinics and physicians’ offices, as well as other Independent Diagnostic Testing Facilities (“IDTFs)”. We believe our technological and clinical advantage with our solution’s insourcing model, which empowers physicians with state-of-the-art technology and charges technology service fees for its use, has the benefit of a reduced operating overhead for us, and enables a more efficient market penetration and distribution strategy.

 

We are a technology company focused on earning utilization-based recurring technology fee revenue. Our ability to grow this type of revenue is predicated on the size and quality of our sales force and their ability to penetrate the market and place devices with clinically focused, repeat users of our cardiac study technology. We plan to grow our sales force to address new markets and achieve sales penetration in the markets currently served.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal executive office is located at 203 Redwood Shores Pkwy Suite 600, Redwood City, California, and our telephone number is (800) 590-4155. Our website address is www.biotricity.com. Our company was incorporated on August 29, 2012 in the State of Nevada.

iMedical Innovations Inc. (“iMedical”) was incorporated on July 3, 2014 under the Canada Business Corporations Act. On February 2, 2016, we completed the acquisition of iMedical and moved the operations of iMedical into Biotricity Inc. through a reverse take-over (the “Acquisition Transaction”).

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a result, we may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations available to smaller reporting companies, including the exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2022, reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements and the requirements to provide only two years of audited financial statements in our annual reports and registration statements. We will continue to be a “smaller reporting company” as long as (1) we have a public float (i.e., the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates) less than $250 million calculated as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (2) our annual revenues are less than $100 million for our previous fiscal year and we have either no public float or a public float of less than $700 million as of the end of that fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Risks Associated with our Business

 

Our business is subject to numerous risks, as described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and in any free writing prospectuses we have authorized for use in connection with a specific offering, and under similar headings in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer a type or series of securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

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

 

We may sell the securities directly to investors or to or through agents, underwriters or dealers. We, and our agents, underwriters or dealers reserve the right to accept or reject all or part of any proposed purchase of securities.

  the names of those agents, underwriters, or dealers;

The following is a summary of the securities we may offer with this prospectus.

 

Common Stock

 

We may issue shares of our common stock from time to time. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under our amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “Bylaws”), our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock. Holders of shares of our common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption, or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.

Preferred Stock

 

We may issue shares of our preferred stock from time to time, in one or more series. Our board of directors will determine the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of the preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights, terms of redemption or repurchase, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series. Convertible preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock or exchangeable for other securities. Conversion may be mandatory or at the holder’s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates. If we sell any series of preferred stock under this prospectus, we will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of such series of preferred stock, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock that we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock.

 

We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.

 

Warrants

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock and/or preferred stock in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or as units in combination with common stock and/or preferred stock, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from these securities. In this prospectus, we have summarized certain general features of the warrants.

 

We urge you, however, to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of warrants being offered, as well as any warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by subsequent annual, quarterly and other reports that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus in their entirety. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement (and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) related to the series of preferred stock being offered, as well as the complete certificate of designation that contains the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock.

 

Our board of directors may, without further action by our stockholders, fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of up to an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and authorize their issuance. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our common stock. We currently have designated: one share as Special Voting Preferred Stock, 20,000 shares as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and 600 shares as Series B Preferred Stock, with rights and terms as described below

 

Our board of directors will fix the designations, voting powers, preferences and rights of the preferred stock of each series we issue under this prospectus, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of preferred stock being offered, including, to the extent applicable:

 

  the title and stated value;
     
  the number of shares we are offering;

 

9

 

 

  the liquidation preference per share;
     
  the purchase price;
     
  the dividend rate, period and payment date and method of calculation for dividends;
     
  whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate;
     
  the procedures for any auction and remarketing;
     
  the provisions for a sinking fund;
     
  the provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights;
     
  any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;
     
  whether the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock, and, if applicable, the conversion price, or how it will be calculated, and the conversion period;
     
  voting rights of the preferred stock;
     
  preemptive rights;
     
  restrictions on transfer, sale or other assignment;
     
  whether interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary shares;
     
  a discussion of material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock;
     
  the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs;
     
  any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; and
     
  any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the preferred stock.

 

Special Voting Preferred Stock 

 

The Board authorized the designation of a class of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, with the rights and preferences specified below. For purposes of deferring Canadian tax liabilities that would be incurred by certain of our shareholders, iMedical and its shareholders have entered into a transaction pursuant to which the eligible holders, who would have otherwise received shares of Common Stock of the Company pursuant to the Acquisition Transaction, received Exchangeable Shares. The right to vote the Common Stock equivalent of such Exchangeable Shares shall be conducted by the vote of the Special Voting Preferred Stock issued to the Trustee.

 

In that regard, we have designated one share of preferred stock as the Special Voting Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. The rights and preferences of the Special Voting Preferred Stock entitle the holder (the Trustee and, indirectly, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares) to the following:

 

● the right to vote in all circumstances in which holders of our Common Stock have the right to vote, with the Common Stock as one class;

 

● an aggregate number of votes equal to the number of shares of our Common Stock that are issuable to the holders of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares;

 

● the same rights as the holders of our Common Stock as to notices, reports, financial statements and attendance at all stockholder meetings;

 

● no entitlement to dividends; and

 

● a total sum of $1.00 upon windup, dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

 

10

 

 

The Company may cancel the Special Voting Preferred Stock when there are no Exchangeable Shares outstanding and no option or other commitment of iMedical of its affiliates, which could require iMedical or its affiliates to issue more Exchangeable Shares.

 

As set forth above, the holders of the Exchangeable Shares, through the Special Voting Preferred Stock, have voting rights and other attributes corresponding to the Common Stock. The Exchangeable Shares provide an opportunity for Eligible Holders to obtain a full deferral of taxable capital gains for Canadian federal income tax purposes in specified circumstances.

 

Series A Preferred Stock

 

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Rights, Powers, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A COD”), we designated 20,000 shares of preferred stock as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”). The Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any voting rights except as may be required by applicable law. The Series A Preferred Stock is junior to our existing undesignated preferred stock, and unless otherwise set forth in the applicable certificate of designations, shall be junior to any future issuance of preferred stock. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Series A Preferred Stock to date has been $1,000 per share. Except as otherwise expressly required by law, the Series A Preferred Stock does not have voting rights and does not have any liquidation rights.

 

Dividends

 

Dividends shall be paid at the rate of 12% per annum of the amount of the purchase price of the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends shall be paid quarterly unless the holder and us mutually agree to accrue and defer any such dividend.

 

Conversion

 

The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock commencing 24 months after the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon which, on a monthly basis, up to 5% of the aggregate amount of the purchase price can be converted (subject to adjustment for changes in the holder’s ownership of the underlying Series A Preferred Stock). The conversion price is equal to the greater of $0.001 or a 15% discount to the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of our Common Stock five Trading Days immediately prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion Rate). Additionally, subject to certain provisions, the holder may exchange its Series A Preferred Stock into any Common Stock financing being conducted by us at a 15% discount to the pricing of that financing.

 

Other Adjustments and Rights

 

● The Conversion Rate (and shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) will be appropriately adjusted to reflect stock splits, stock dividends business combinations and similar recapitalization.

 

● The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of certain qualifying distributions on the same basis as if they were holders of our Common Stock on an as converted basis.

 

Company Redemption

 

We may redeem all or part of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock after one year from the date of issuance by paying an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price paid, adjusted for any reduction in Series A Preferred Stock holdings, multiplied by 110% plus accrued dividends.

 

Voting

 

Except as otherwise expressly required by Nevada law, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have voting rights.

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

We filed a certificate of designations of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock with the Nevada Secretary of State designating 600 shares of our shares of Preferred Stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and setting forth the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights of the Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $10,000 per share.

 

11

 

 

The Series B Preferred Stock, with respect to the payment of dividends, distributions and payments upon our liquidation, dissolution and winding up, ranks senior to all of our capital stock unless the holders of the majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock consent to the creation of other capital stock that is senior or equal in rank to the Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, in shares of Common Stock or cash on the Stated Value at an annual rate of 8% (which will increase to 15% after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD) until such time as any such Triggering Event is subsequently cured, in which case the adjustment shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure). Dividends will be payable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, upon any redemption, or upon any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD).

 

Conversion

 

Holders of Series B Preferred Stock are entitled to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock into a number of shares of common stock determined by dividing the Stated Value (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due) by the conversion price. The initial conversion price is $3.50, subject to adjustment upon a stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction or in the event we sell or issue Common Stock at a price lower than the then-effective conversion price, including the issuance of options with an exercise price lower than the then-effective conversion price. Holders may not convert the Series B Preferred Stock to Common Stock to the extent such conversion would cause such holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock. In addition, we will not issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock in an amount exceeding 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock as of the initial issuance date unless we receive shareholder approval for such issuances.

 

Holders may elect to convert shares of Series B Preferred Stock to Common Stock at an alternate conversion price equal to 80% (or 70% if our Common Stock is suspended from trading on or delisted from a principal trading market or if we have effected a reverse split of the Common Stock) of the lowest daily volume weighed average price of the common stock during the Alternate Conversion Measuring Period (as defined in the Series B COD). In the event we receive a conversion notice that elects an alternate conversion price, we may, at our option, elect to satisfy our obligation under such conversion with payment in cash in an amount equal to 110% of the conversion amount.

 

Upon the 24-month anniversary of the initial issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock will automatically convert to such number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock by the conversion price in effect at that time.

 

Redemption

 

At any time after the earlier of a holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event notice and such holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event and ending on the 20th trading day after the later of (x) the date such Triggering Event is cured and (y) such holder’s receipt of a Triggering Event notice, such holder may require us to redeem such holder’s shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

Upon any Bankruptcy Triggering Event (as defined in the Series B COD), we will be required to immediately redeem all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

 

We will have the right at any time to redeem all or any portion of the Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding at a price equal to 110% of the Stated Value plus any accrued but unpaid dividends and other amounts due.

 

Voting

 

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock will have the right to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock, subject to the beneficial ownership limitation set forth in the Series B COD.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Effects of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Nevada Law

 

The provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and certain provision of the NRS described below may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that:

 

● the authorized number of directors is determined by our board of directors and therefore the board of directors has the ability to increase the size of the board;

 

● vacancies on our board of directors may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors;

 

● our board of directors will be authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock, the rights of which will be determined at the discretion of the board of directors and that, if issued, that could proportionately reduce, minimize or otherwise adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of the Company’s capital stock or that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

 

12

 

 

The NRS contains a number of anti-takeover provisions, including:

 

Business Combinations. The “business combination” provisions of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the NRS generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with at least 200 stockholders from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is approved by the board of directors prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the board of directors and thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

 

  the combination was approved by the board of directors prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or
     
  if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (a) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (b) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (c) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

 

A “combination” is generally defined to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (a) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (b) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (c) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (d) certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

 

In general, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts to acquire our company even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

 

Control Share Acquisitions. The “control share” provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS apply to “issuing corporations” that are Nevada corporations with at least 200 stockholders, including at least 100 stockholders of record who are Nevada residents, and that conduct business directly or indirectly in Nevada. The control share statute prohibits an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting its shares of a target corporation’s stock after crossing certain ownership threshold percentages, unless the acquirer obtains approval of the target corporation’s disinterested stockholders. The statute specifies three thresholds: one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third but less than a majority, and a majority or more, of the outstanding voting power. Generally, once an acquirer crosses one of the above thresholds, those shares in an offer or acquisition and acquired within 90 days thereof become “control shares” and such control shares are deprived of the right to vote until disinterested stockholders restore the right. These provisions also provide that if control shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person has acquired a majority or more of all voting power, all other stockholders who do not vote in favor of authorizing voting rights to the control shares are entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares in accordance with statutory procedures established for dissenters’ rights.

 

A corporation may elect to not be governed by, or “opt out” of, the control share provisions by making an election in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, provided that the opt-out election must be in place on the 10th day following the date an acquiring person has acquired a controlling interest, that is, crossing any of the three thresholds described above. We have not opted out of the control share statutes, and will be subject to these statutes if we are an “issuing corporation” as defined in such statutes.

 

The effect of the Nevada control share statutes is that the acquiring person, and those acting in association with the acquiring person, will obtain only such voting rights in the control shares as are conferred by a resolution of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting. The Nevada control share law, if applicable, could have the effect of discouraging takeovers of our company.

Limitations of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors, Officers and Employees

 

NRS 78.138 provides that directors of a corporation is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless: (a) the presumption that directors and officers acted in good faith on an informed basis with a view toward the best interest of the corporation has been rebutted and (b) it is proven that:

 

  The director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer; and

 

  such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and may indemnify employees and other agents. Our Articles of Incorporation also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding.

 

We have obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us, 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.

 

Listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq

 

Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol “BTCY.”

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation.

We will issue each unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. As a result, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security.

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

 

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

 

Book-Entry Holders

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Street Name Holders

 

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

 

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

 

Legal Holders

 

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

 

For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so.

 

Special Considerations for Indirect Holders

 

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

 

  how it handles securities payments and notices;
     
  whether it imposes fees or charges;

 

18

 

 

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

 

Global Securities

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Special Considerations for Global Securities

 

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

 

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

 

  an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;
     
  an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;
     
  an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;
     
  an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;
     
  the depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in the global security;
     
  we and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security, nor will we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way;

 

19

 

 

  the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and
     
  financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities.

 

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

 

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

 

In a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, a global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:

 

  if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;
     
  if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or
     
  if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.

 

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

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, direct sales to the public, “at the market” offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through one or more underwriters or dealers (acting as principal or agent), through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute 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.

 

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

  the name or names of the underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers, if any;
     
  the purchase price of the securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
     
  any option to purchase additional shares or other options under which underwriters, dealers, agents or other purchasers may purchase additional securities from us;
     
  any agency fees or underwriting discounts to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
     
  any public offering price;
     
  any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
     
  any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement other than securities covered by any option to purchase additional shares or other option. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.

 

We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities, and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

 

21

 

 

We may provide agents, dealers and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, dealers or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents, dealers and underwriters or their affiliates may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

All securities we may offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the option to purchase additional shares or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

 

Any underwriters, dealers or agents that are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on Nasdaq in accordance Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offer.
