EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-235904) of Delcath Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 13, 2020 and declared effective on April 30, 2020 (the “Existing Registration Statement” and the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share registered thereby, the “Registered Shares”). This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to convert the Existing Registration Statement from a Form S-1 registration statement to a Form S-3 registration statement. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Existing Registration Statement.

This Post-Effective Amendment also contains an updated prospectus relating to the offering and sale of the Registered Shares and amends and restates the information contained in the Existing Registration Statement under the headings contained herein.

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective.

1,851,900 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Outstanding Series F Warrants

17,456 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale by us of an aggregate 1,851,900 of our shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that are issuable at an exercise price of $10.00 per share upon exercise of the currently outstanding series F warrants (each a “Series F Warrant” and, collectively, the “Series F Warrants”) that we issued in a public offering in May 2020. We are also offering for sale an aggregate 17,456 shares of Common Stock that are issuable at an exercise price of $0.01 per share upon exercise of the currently outstanding pre-funded warrants (each a “Pre-funded Warrant” and, collectively, the “Pre-funded Warrants” and together with the Series F Warrants, the “Outstanding Warrants”) that we issued in a public offering in May 2020.

We will receive the proceeds from any cash exercises of the Outstanding Warrants. Additionally, in the event there is no effective registration statement at the time of exercise, the Outstanding Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. If the Outstanding Warrants are exercised on a cashless basis, we would not receive any cash payments from any exercise of the Outstanding Warrants. Each Series F Warrant is exercisable from and after the date of issuance and expires on the fifth anniversary of such date. Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable upon issuance and does not expire prior to exercise in full. If all these Outstanding Warrants are exercised for cash, we will receive aggregate proceeds of approximately $18.5 million for the Outstanding Warrants.

Our Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “DCTH.” On September 17, 2024, the closing price for our Common Stock, as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market, was $9.38 per share. As of August 31, 2024, 28,000,843 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

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 discussed in this section and under the sections titled Risk Factors contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended subsequent to our filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments or updates to our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, together with other information in this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference, any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment. Please also read carefully the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein, contain, or will contain, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “intends,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “indicates,” “plans,” “expects,” “suggests,” “may,” “would,” “should,” “potential,” “designed to,” “will,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “predict,” “could,” and similar references, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. These statements are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Risks that could cause actual results to vary from expected results expressed in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Except as required under the federal securities laws and rules and regulations of the SEC, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. We caution you not to unduly rely on the forward-looking statements when evaluating the information presented herein.

USE OF PROCEEDS

If the Outstanding Warrants are exercised in full, we will receive gross proceeds of approximately $18.5 million, however we do not know when, if or the extent to which such Outstanding Warrants may be exercised, and it is possible that no Outstanding Warrants may be exercised, in which case we would not receive any proceeds from this offering.

We will retain broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering. We currently anticipate using the net proceeds from this offering primarily for general corporate purposes, which include, but are not limited to, funding our commercialization and manufacturing development, other research and development activities and for general and administrative expenses.

Pending the use of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities.

The following description of our capital stock does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Amended and Restated By-Laws, which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by applicable law. We refer in this section to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, as our certificate of incorporation, and we refer to our Amended and Restated By-Laws as our by-laws. The terms of our Common Stock and preferred stock may also be affected by Delaware law.

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 80,000,000 shares of our Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Common Stock

Voting

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders and also are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. Holders of our Common Stock have exclusive voting rights for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action, except with respect to amendments to our certificate of incorporation that alter or change the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of any outstanding preferred stock if the holders of such affected series of preferred stock are entitled to vote on such an amendment or filling vacancies on the board of directors.

Dividends

Holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in any dividends declared by our board of directors, subject to any preferential dividend rights of any outstanding preferred stock. Dividends consisting of shares of Common Stock may be paid to holders of shares of Common Stock. We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Liquidation and Dissolution

Upon our liquidation or dissolution, the holders of our Common Stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets remaining available for distribution to stockholders after payment of all liabilities and provision for the liquidation of any shares of preferred stock at the time outstanding.

Other Rights and Restrictions

Our Common Stock has no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such stock. Our Common Stock is not subject to redemption by us. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not restrict the ability of a holder of Common Stock to transfer the stockholder’s shares of Common Stock. If we issue shares of Common Stock under this prospectus, the shares will be fully paid and non-assessable and will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights.

5

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to determine the rights and preferences of the shares of any such series without stockholder approval, of which Series E Preferred Stock, Series E-1 Preferred Stock, Series F-2 Preferred Stock, Series F-3 Preferred Stock and Series F-4 Preferred Stock (together, the “Preferred Stock”) is outstanding. Our board of directors may issue preferred stock in one or more series and has the authority to fix the designation and powers, rights and preferences and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions with respect to each class or series of such class without further vote or action by the stockholders. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management.

Each share of the Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.01 per share and a stated value equal to $1,000 (the “Stated Value”), and is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing the Stated Value by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is $10.00 for Series E and Series E-1 Preferred Stock, $3.30 for Series F-2 Preferred Stock, $4.50 for Series F-3 Preferred Stock and $6.00 for Series F-4 Preferred Stock, subject to certain limitations and adjustments. Except for certain adjustments, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive dividends on such shares equal (on an as if converted basis) to and in the same form as dividends paid on shares of our Common Stock. Any such dividends that are not paid to the holders of Preferred Stock will increase the Stated Value. No other dividends will be paid on shares of Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock will vote on an as converted basis on all matters submitted to the holders of Common Stock for approval, subject to certain limitations and exceptions. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock is required to increase the number of authorized shares of such preferred stock or to alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to such preferred stock, or to amend the Company’s organizational documents in any manner that adversely affects the rights of the holders of such preferred stock. Upon any liquidation of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company an amount equal to the Stated Value plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon for each share of such preferred stock before any distribution or payment will be made to the holders of the Common Stock.

Outstanding Warrants

The following is a brief summary of material provisions of the Outstanding Warrants related to the shares of Common Stock offered and issuable upon the exercise of such Outstanding Warrants.

Series F Warrants

Duration and Exercise

The Series F Warrants are exercisable from and after the date of their issuance and expire on the fifth anniversary of such date, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Series F Warrants are governed by the terms of a global warrant held in book-entry form. The holder of a Series F Warrant will not be deemed a holder of our underlying Common Stock until the Series F Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Series F Warrant. Instead, for any such fractional share that would have otherwise been issued upon exercise of Series F Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Exercisability

The Series F Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with

6

its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Series F Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Series F Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series F Warrants and Delaware law. Holders of Series F Warrants may also elect prior to the issuance of the Series F Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding Common Stock.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its Series F Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series F Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Series F Warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Series F Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Series F Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Series F Warrants. Rather, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Trading Market

There is no established public trading market for the Series F Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we have not in the past and do not intend in the future to apply to list the Series F Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Series F Warrants will be limited.

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Series F Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holders of the Series F Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series F Warrants, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Series F Warrants. The Series F Warrants will provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our Common Stock.

Fundamental Transaction

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Series F Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Series F Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series F Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Series F Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Series F Warrants, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the Series F Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the Series F Warrants determined according to a formula set forth in the Series F Warrants.

7

Warrant Agent

The Series F Warrants have been issued pursuant to the terms of a warrant agency agreement between us and Equiniti, LLC, as warrant agent. The warrant agent may resign upon 30 days’ written notice to us, our transfer agent and the holders of any warrant certificates. We have the right to remove the warrant agent upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the warrant agent, our transfer agent and the holders of any warrant certificates. If the warrant agent resigns or is removed, we will appoint a successor warrant agent. If we do not do so within 30 days, then any holder of a warrant certificate may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor warrant agent and we will be deemed to be the warrant agent pending such appointment. In the warrant agency agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the warrant agent against certain liabilities.

Amendments

The warrant agency agreement may be amended by the warrant agent and us without the approval of the holders of Series F Warrants to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provisions or to make such other provisions as we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable and which do not adversely affect the interest of the holders. In addition, with the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series F Warrants, we and the warrant agent may modify the warrant agency agreement and the Series F Warrants for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the warrant agency agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Series F Warrants; provided, however, that no modification of the terms (including but not limited to the adjustments provisions) upon which the Series F Warrants are exercisable or reducing the percentage required for consent to modification of the warrant agency agreement may be made without the consent of each holder of the then-outstanding Series F Warrants.

The description of the warrant agency agreement contained herein is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the warrant agency agreement, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the warrant agency agreement for a complete description of the terms and conditions thereof.

Pre-funded Warrants

Duration and Exercise

Each Pre-funded Warrant has an initial exercise price per share equal to $0.01. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and will not expire prior to exercise in full. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Pre-funded Warrant. Instead, for any such fractional share that would have otherwise been issued upon exercise of Pre-funded Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Exercisability

The Pre-funded Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). If there is no effective registration statement registering the issuance of such Common Stock underlying the Pre-funded Warrants, the holder may exercise such Pre-funded Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Pre-funded Warrants.

8

Exercise Limitation

A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Pre-funded Warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants and Delaware law.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws and any restrictions on transfer set forth in the Pre-funded Warrants, an outstanding Pre-funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-funded Warrants to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Trading Market

We have not in the past and do not intend in the future to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading systems.

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Common Stock, the holders of the Pre-funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-funded Warrants, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Pre-funded Warrants. The Pre-funded Warrants provide that holders have the right to participate in distributions or dividends paid on our Common Stock.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

In accordance with the terms of the Outstanding Warrants to which this prospectus relates, we will issue Common Stock underlying the Outstanding Warrants to the holders thereof upon due exercise of such Outstanding Warrants. We will then deliver shares of our Common Stock in the manner described in the warrant agency agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. No underwriter or other person has been engaged by us to facilitate the sale of the securities we are offering in this offering. We will receive all of the proceeds from any cash exercise of the Outstanding Warrants. All costs associated with this registration were borne by us.

Each Series F Warrant and Pre-funded Warrant has an exercise price of $10.00 and $0.01, respectively. Each Series F Warrant is exercisable, and has been exercisable, from and after the date of their issuance and will expire on the fifth anniversary of such date of issuance. Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable, and has been exercisable, from and after the date of their issuance and will not expire prior to exercise in full.

The Outstanding Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise. If there is no effective registration statement registering the issuance of such Common Stock underlying the Outstanding Warrants, the holder may exercise the Outstanding Warrants through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Outstanding Warrants.

Holders shall not have the right to exercise the Outstanding Warrants, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such holder, together with such holder’s affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, which limitation may be increased to 9.99% by the holder upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants. If there is a fractional share issuable upon exercise of the Outstanding Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

The following table sets forth the estimated expenses to be borne by the registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the shares of Common Stock being registered hereby. The SEC registration fee was previously paid in connection with the filing of the Existing Registration Statement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102(b)(7) of Delaware’s General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for this limitation of liability.

Section 145 of the DGCL, or Section 145, provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made, party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who are, were or are a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, provided that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer, director, employee or agent is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him against the expenses which such officer or director has actually and reasonably incurred.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.

II-1

Article SEVENTH of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that no person serving as a director of the Company shall be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of the DGCL or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Article EIGHTH of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation requires the Company to indemnify any person who may be indemnified by a Delaware corporation pursuant to Section 145 of the DGCL in each situation where the Company is permitted to indemnify such persons.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

In addition, we maintain standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (1) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (2) to us with respect to indemnification payments that we may make to such directors and officers.

Item 17. Undertakings

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

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

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

(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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) above 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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is a part of 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 under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

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

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

II-4

(b) 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 Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

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