PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, especially the risks of investing in our securities as discussed under, and incorporated by reference into, the section entitled “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and notes incorporated by reference herein. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Summary

 

Monaker Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate online marketplaces. We believe our most promising part of our business plan is the incorporation of alternative lodging rental units into our marketplaces while facilitating access to alternative lodging rentals to other distributors. Alternative lodging rentals (ALRs) are whole unit vacation homes or timeshare resort units that are fully furnished, privately owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, apartments, villas and cabins that property owners and managers rent to the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis. NextTrip.com, one of our marketplaces, provides access to airline, car rental, lodgings and activities products and includes our ALR offering which unites travelers seeking ALRs located in countries around the world. Another one of our other marketplaces, Maupintour, also provides concierge tours and activities at destinations. Currently our Maupintour and NextTrip online marketplaces (each as discussed in greater detail below) are operational, and allow for the booking of ALRs.

 

Our ambition is to become the largest instantly bookable vacation rental platform in the world, providing large travel distributors via a business-to-business model (B2B), our ALR inventory, as well as providing direct to consumers both ALR products and auxiliary services so travelers can purchase vacations through NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com. Additionally, we plan to provide the most qualified platform to assist property owners and managers the means to broaden their distribution for booking their homes. The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property owners and managers, (2) travelers, and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Property owners and managers provide detailed listings of their properties to the Company with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs. The property owners and managers provide us their properties at a preferential rate for each booking. and in return, their properties will be listed for free as an available ALR on NextTrip.com, NextTrip.biz, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com (as well as with distributors). Travelers will be able to visit NextTrip.com, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com (and distributors) and search and compare our large and detailed inventory of listings to find ALRs meeting their needs.

 

The global vacation rental industry is large and growing, but it is also fragmented and inefficient. We believe we will benefit from having both (a) a broad selection of ALR listings, and (b) a large audience of travelers who visit (i) NextTrip.com, Maupintour.com or EXVG.com as well as (ii) Distributors. We believe that the broad selection of ALRs will attract more travelers and the large audience of travelers will in turn attract more ALRs from property owners and managers.

 

Monaker is a technology driven travel company which has identified and sourced ALR products and plans to convert them into instantly bookable products as its distinguishing niche. The ALRs are owned and leased by third parties and are available to rent through Monaker’s websites as well as other Distributors. Monaker’s services include critical elements such as technology, an extensive film library, trusted brands and established partnerships that enhance product offerings and reach. We believe that consumers are quickly adopting video for researching and educating themselves prior to purchases, and Monaker has carefully amassed video content, key industry relationships and a prestigious travel brand as cornerstones for the development and planned deployment of core-technology on both proprietary and partnership platforms.

Monaker sells travel services to leisure and corporate customers around the world. Our primary focus is to incorporate ALR options into our current offerings of scheduling, pricing and availability information for booking reservations for airlines, hotels, rental cars, cruises and other travel products such as sightseeing tours, shows and event tickets and theme park passes. The Company sells these travel services both individually and as components of dynamically-assembled packaged travel vacations and trips. In addition, the Company provides content that presents travelers with information about travel destinations, maps and other travel details. In February 2018, the Company introduced its new travel platform under the NextTrip brand. This platform continues to be improved with a focus on maximizing the consumer’s experience and assisting them in the decision and purchasing process.

 

The platform is a licensed technology that will connect our proprietary technology and will allow our users to search large travel suppliers of alternative lodging inventories and present consumers comprehensive and optimal alternatives at the most inexpensive rates to choose from.

 

In March 2018, the Company introduced Travelmagazine.com, an online travel publication with the aim of giving travelers around the world inspiration for future travel destinations and trips. The publication offers written articles, videos, and podcasts. Moving forward, we plan for Travelmagazine.com to become a central hub of information for travelers who are looking to get detailed information on destinations all around the world. We also plan to move Travelmagazine.com from having content created by a team of staff writers, to a team of worldwide writers who will contribute content to the page for publication. The website is planned to be supported by advertising and allow for promotion of both ALR and Maupintour vacation products.

 

The Company plans to sell its travel services through various distribution channels. The primary distribution channel will be through its B2B channel partners which includes sales via (i) other travel companies’ websites and (ii) networks of third-party travel agents. Secondary distribution will occur through its own website at NextTrip.com, the NextTrip mobile application (“app”) and Nexttrip.Biz. Additionally we will offer specialty travel services via EXVG.com and Maupintour, targeting high touch inventory to customers through a toll-free telephone number designed to assist customers with complex or high-priced offerings.

 

Monaker’s core holdings include NextTrip.com, NextTrip.Biz, Maupintour.com and EXVG.com. NextTrip.com is the primary consumer website, where travel services and products are booked. The travel services and products include tours; activities/attractions; airline; hotel; and car rentals and ALRs. Maupintour complements the Nextrip.com offering by providing high-end tour packages and activities/attractions. EXVG.com is planned to be a specialized secondary website devoted to those ALRs that cannot be booked on a real-time basis. These ALRs tend to be sourced from owners and managers who have not invested in a reservation management system and/or the owner or manager prefers to personally vet the customer before accepting a booking; typically because the ALR is a high value property. EXVG.com travel services and products will only include the aforementioned ALRs as well as tours and activities from Maupintour. NextTrip.Biz is targeted at small to midsized businesses offering them a customized travel solution for staff business travel to meetings, conferences, conventions or even vacation travel and gives the companies lower costs, better expense control and the option for a “self-branded” website.

 

The Company owns an approximately 13% interest in RealBiz Media Group, Inc. (“RealBiz”) as of February 28, 2018 which is represented by 44,470,101 RealBiz Series A Preferred Stock shares.

Products and Services

 

Monaker plans to focus on marketing ALR options directly to consumers and to other travel distributors. The Company’s concentration on ALRs is driven by contracts with vacation home (including timeshare) unit owners and managers that are made available to consumers and to other travel portals (Distributors) for nightly or extended stays. In addition, we offer travelers activities and tours through our subsidiary, Maupintour. Therefore, not only can we assist a traveler with identifying a destination and the lodging at the destination, but we can provide options of activities while at the destination. We also provide the means for making arrangements for airline tickets, car rentals and lodging (i.e. hotels and ALRs in the near future). In summary, Monaker offers travelers the complete travel package made easy or… Travel Made EasyTM.

The average ALR search and booking takes a few hours while the average vacation planning process typically involves the consumer visiting up to seven travel websites and spending over 10 hours to book their vacation (according to Susan Ho, Founder of Journy). We believe the NextTrip.com website using the above features should reduce ALR/Vacation planning time from hours to minutes all with the convenience of one site (truly “Travel Made Easy”).

Private Placement Offering

 

On August 11, 2017, the Company closed the transactions contemplated by the Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, entered into by the Company on July 31, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), with certain accredited investors named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”). Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold the Purchasers an aggregate of 613,000 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) and 613,000 warrants to purchase one share of common stock (the “Offering Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”)(the “Private Placement Offering”). The combined purchase price for one Share and one Offering Warrant to purchase one share of common stock in the Private Placement Offering was $5.00.

 

Placement Agency Agreement

 

Pursuant to a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Agent Agreement”) entered into with Northland Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”) on July 31, 2017, in connection with the Private Placement Offering, the Agent served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent for the Private Placement Offering. In consideration therewith, we paid the Agent 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Securities ($245,200) and, for the consideration of $50, sold the Agent a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 5% of the shares sold in the Private Placement Offering (i.e., warrants to purchase 30,650 shares of common stock)(the “Agent Warrants” and collectively with the Offering Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Company also agreed to reimburse up to $150,000 of the expenses of the Agent in connection with the Private Placement Offering. The Placement Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and includes indemnification rights of the Agent. The Agent is also entitled to the registration rights and liquidated damages associated therewith which the Purchasers have pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

 

Related Party Investors

 

William Kerby, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company purchased $50,000 of the Securities (10,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Simon Orange, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $175,000 of the Securities (35,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Donald Monaco, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $175,000 of the Securities (35,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Pat LaVecchia, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $10,000 of the Securities (2,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); and Robert J.

Description of Warrants

 

The exercise price of the Warrants was originally $5.25 per share (which has been reduced pursuant to the anti-dilution terms of the Warrants as discussed below), subject to adjustment as provided therein, and the Warrants are exercisable beginning on July 31, 2017 through July 30, 2022. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, and were also subject to anti-dilution adjustments in the event the Company issued or was deemed to have issued any securities below the then exercise price of the Warrants, subject to certain exceptions (i.e., the Exempt Issuances, described below), during the 12 months following the closing date, each as described in greater detail in the Warrants. If after February 11, 2018, a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) was not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, the Purchasers and the Agent, could exercise the Warrants by means of a “cashless exercise”, provided that such registration was effective.

 

Covenants and Requirements of the Purchase Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that we would not, and we would ensure that our directors and officers and their affiliates would not, without the prior written consent of all Purchasers, from the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and continuing to and including the date 90 days after the effective date of the Registration Statement filed to register the shares sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (discussed below)(the “Lock-Up Period”), (A) offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock or (B) enter into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the common stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of common stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, however, the Company may conduct an Exempt Issuance (as defined below) without the prior written consent of all Purchasers. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of common stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of any convertible securities, options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Purchase Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise or conversion price of any such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided any such issuance shall only be to a person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed that until the 12 month anniversary of the closing of the Offering, i.e., August 11, 2018, if the Company or any subsidiary thereof issues or agrees to issue any (i) common stock or (ii) any securities of the Company or the subsidiary that would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time common stock, including without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, rights, options, warrants or other instrument that is at any time directly or indirectly convertible into or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, common stock, except for the Exempt Issuances, entitling any person or entity to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share less than $5.00, within three trading days of the date thereof the Company is required to issue to such Purchaser additional shares of common stock based on the formula set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement on Form S-1 (or Form S-3, if available) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) within 45 days following the closing of the Private Placement Offering (which date was September 25, 2017) to register the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares, which Registration Statement was timely filed, and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within 120 days following the closing of the Private Placement Offering (which date was December 9, 2017), and which Registration Statement effectiveness was timely.

 

The Purchase Agreement also required the Company to apply for listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market within 60 days following the closing of the Private Placement Offering (which date was October 10, 2017), which listing application was timely filed, and to cause the Shares to be listed on the NASDAQ no later than 120 days following closing of the Private Placement Offering (which date was December 9, 2017), and which listing deadline was not met, as described in greater detail below.

 

The Purchase Agreement provided that if the Registration Statement had not been declared effective by the SEC, by the deadline set forth above, or if the Company’s common stock was not approved for listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) by the deadline set forth above, we were required to provide each Purchaser (and the Agent), as partial liquidated damages for such delay, additional Warrants equal to each Purchaser’s (and the Agent’s) pro rata share of 1% of the Warrants in the Private Placement Offering. Such liquidated damages continued to be due, each day that we failed to comply with the requirements above, up to a maximum of 100 days. That is, in no case are we required to issue additional Warrants in excess of 200% of the Warrants sold in the Private Placement Offering. Additionally, in the event that there occurs a suspension in the availability of the Registration Statement, after effectiveness thereof, subject to certain exceptions described in the Purchase Agreement, we are required to pay to each Purchaser (and the Agent), on the 30th day following the first day of such suspension, and on each 30th day thereafter, an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the Securities purchased by the Purchaser (and Agent) and not previously sold by the Purchaser with such payments to be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period, up to a maximum of 6% of the purchase price paid for the Securities.

 

Use of Proceeds From the Sale of Common Stock and Warrants

 

The aggregate net proceeds from the Private Placement Offering, after deducting the placement agent’s fees payable in cash (described above) and other estimated offering expenses, were approximately $2.7 million. The Company intends to use the aggregate net proceeds to expand its technology division, increase its alternative lodging rental count, and general corporate purposes.

 

Related Transactions

 

A required term of the Private Placement Offering was that William Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, and Donald P. Monaco, our Director, on behalf of themselves and the entities which they control, convert 1,869,611 shares of Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) beneficially owned by them into 1,515,689 shares of common stock of the Company, which conversion occurred shortly after the closing of the Private Placement Offering. As a result of the conversion, we no longer have any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

 

As additional consideration for Pacific Grove Capital LP (“Pacific Grove”), agreeing to participate in the Private Placement Offering as a Purchaser, the Company entered into a Board Representation Agreement with Pacific Grove. Pursuant to the Board Representation Agreement, Pacific Grove will be granted the right to designate one person to be nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors so long as (i) Pacific Grove together with its affiliates beneficially owns at least 4.99% of the Company’s common stock, or (ii) Pacific Grove together with its affiliates beneficially owns at least 75% of the Securities purchased in the Private Placement Offering. Notwithstanding its rights under the Board Representation Agreement, Pacific Grove has not provided us notice of any nominees for appointment to the Board of Directors to date.

January 2018 First Amendment to Pacific Warrant

 

On January 10, 2018, we entered into a First Amendment To Warrant agreement with Pacific. Through January 10, 2018, Pacific earned additional warrants to purchase 108,500 shares of our common as partial liquidated damages for delays in obtaining an uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market, which uplisting was required pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, to have occurred on or before December 9, 2017; these additional warrants (on substantially similar terms as the Warrants) were equal to Pacific’s pro rata share of 1% of the Warrants sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each day that the Company failed to obtain the NASDAQ listing (the “Liquidated Damages”). Total warrants held by Pacific as of January 10, 2018 were 458,500. We desired to incentivize Pacific to exercise the warrants which it held by reducing the exercise price of the warrants from $5.25 per share to $2.625 per share, provided that Pacific agreed to immediately exercise such 458,500 warrants for $1,203,563 in cash. Pursuant to the amendment, the exercise price of the warrants was reduced as discussed above and Pacific exercised the warrants in cash.

 

January 2018 Warrant Exercises

 

On January 12, 2018, we received the $1,203,563 exercise price of the Pacific warrants and issued 458,500 shares of common stock to Pacific.

 

On January 12, 2018, we received $130,200 in proceeds from the Donald P Monaco Insurance Trust, whose trustee is Donald Monaco a director of the Company, and issued 24,800 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of Offering Warrants at an exercise price of $5.25 per share.

 

On January 12, 2018, we received $10,500 in proceeds from William Kerby, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and issued 2,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of Offering Warrants at an exercise price of $5.25 per share.

 

January 2018 Liquidated Damage Warrants and Anti-Dilution Shares

 

As discussed above, the Purchase Agreement includes certain liquidated damage provisions which require the Company to grant to the Purchasers, as partial liquidated damages for any delay in obtaining an uplisting to the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”), which uplisting was required to have occurred, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on or before December 9, 2017 (the “Required Uplisting Date”), additional warrants (on substantially similar terms as the Warrants) equal to each Purchaser’s pro rata share of 1% of the warrants sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, for each day that the Company fails to uplist its common stock to NASDAQ after the Required Uplisting Date.

 

Additionally, as a result of the reduction in the exercise price of the Pacific warrants which was agreed to pursuant to the January 2018 Pacific amendment, the anti-dilution provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the Purchaser Warrants was triggered. Specifically, because the Company issued shares of common stock below (a) the $5.00 price per share of the securities sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers were due an additional 14,463 shares of the Company’s common stock; and (b) the $5.25 exercise price of the Warrants automatically decreased to $5.125 per share.

 

First Amendment to Stadlin Trust Warrant

 

On January 29, 2018, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Warrants agreement with The Stadlin Trust dated 5/25/01 (the “Trust”), one of the Purchasers. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company and the Trust agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock which the Trust acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and Warrants to purchase an additional 9,800 shares of common stock which the Trust was granted as penalty warrants, from $5.125 per share to $2.625 per share, in consideration for the Trust immediately exercising such warrants for cash; agreeing to waive the anti-dilution provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the warrant agreements granted in connection therewith; and agreeing to waive any further penalty warrants which would have otherwise been due as a result of the Company’s failure to timely uplist its common stock to NASDAQ. Furthermore, the Trust agreed to not sell any of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants until the earlier of the date of the uplisting to NASDAQ and February 28, 2018.

Total consideration received from the exercise of the warrants by the Trust pursuant to the amendment was $78,225.

 

January 2018 Anti-Dilution Shares

 

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers (other than the Trust) were due an aggregate of an additional 1,223 shares in connection with the reduction in exercise price of the warrants held by the Trust.

 

January 2018 First Amendment to Pacific Warrants

 

On March 1, 2018, we entered into a separate First Amendment to Warrant agreement with Pacific. Pursuant to the amendment, the Company and Pacific agreed to reduce the exercise price of the warrants to purchase 147,000 shares of common stock which Pacific was granted as penalty warrants in connection with the Company’s prior failure to obtain the timely listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”)(which uplisting occurred on February 22, 2018), from $5.125 per share to $2.625 per share, in consideration for Pacific immediately exercising such warrants for cash.

 

Total consideration received from the exercise of the warrants by Pacific pursuant to the Amendment was $385,875.

 

March 2018 Anti-Dilution Shares and Adjustment to Warrant Exercise Prices

 

Pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers were due their pro rata portion (less the Trust, which waived such rights) of an aggregate of an additional 4,390 shares of common stock in connection with the reduction in exercise price of the warrants held by Pacific in March 2018 and the exercise price of all of the other un-exercised warrants previously granted to the Purchasers and the Agent were automatically reduced to $5.09 per share.

 

Summary of Anti-Dilution Adjustments and Liquidated Damage Provisions

 

As a result of the anti-dilutive transactions above, a total of 20,076 shares of common stock were issued to the Purchasers (the “Liquidated Damage Shares”) and the exercise price of the Warrants sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and granted as liquidated damages, as discussed below, was automatically adjusted from $5.25 per share to $5.09 per share.

 

As a result of the liquidated damage provisions described above, penalty warrants to purchase a total of 465,069 shares of common stock were granted to the Purchasers and the Agent, of which warrants to purchase 265,300 shares of common stock have been exercised to date and which 265,300 shares of common stock have been issued in connection with the exercises thereof and warrants to purchase 199,769 shares of common stock remain unexercised as of the date of this prospectus (the “Penalty Warrants”).

 

The shares registered in this prospectus represent the Shares and Warrant Shares (including 396,800 shares of common stock which have previously been issued upon exercise of Offering Warrants sold in the Offering).

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements relate to future events or our future financial performance, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect results. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, those listed under, and incorporated by reference in, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, including, but not limited to the fact that the officers and directors of the Company have the ability to exercise significant influence over the Company; our business depends substantially on property owners and managers renewing their listings; our long-term success depends, in part, on our ability to expand our property owner, manager and traveler bases outside of the United States and, as a result, our business is susceptible to risks associated with international operations; unfavorable changes in, or interpretations of, government regulations or taxation of the evolving ALR, Internet and e-commerce industries could harm our operating results; the market in which we participate is highly competitive, and we may be unable to compete successfully with our current or future competitors; if we are unable to adapt to changes in technology, our business could be harmed; we may be subject to liability for the activities of our property owners and managers, which could harm our reputation and increase our operating costs; our business has substantial indebtedness; and we have incurred significant losses to date and require additional capital which may not be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual events or results may vary significantly from those implied or projected by the forward-looking statements. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance. You should read this prospectus, those documents incorporated by reference herein, and those documents which we have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus, and incorporated by reference herein, represent our views as of the date of this prospectus. We anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we have no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should therefore not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this prospectus.

 

You should also consider carefully the statements under, and incorporated by reference in, “Risk Factors” and other sections of this prospectus, and the documents we incorporate by reference and any prospectus supplement, which address additional facts that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. We caution investors not to place significant reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, and the documents we incorporate by reference. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and many uncertainties discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”) and our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended May 31, 2018 (the “Form 10-Q”), which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should carefully consider the risk factors in our Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and this prospectus before purchasing our securities. If one or more of the possibilities described as risks actually occurs, our operating results and financial condition would likely suffer and the trading price of our securities could fall, causing you to lose some or all of your investment in the securities we are offering.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Relating to the Private Placement Offering

 

We face significant penalties and damages under the Purchase Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, if this Registration Statement is suspended after effectiveness thereof, we are required to provide each Purchaser (and the Agent), as partial liquidated damages for such delay, on the 30th day following the first day of such suspension, and on each 30th day thereafter, an amount equal to 1% of the purchase price paid for the Securities purchased by the Purchaser (and Agent) and not previously sold by the Purchaser with such payments to be prorated on a daily basis during each 30 day period, up to a maximum of 6% of the purchase price paid for the Securities. As such, due to the above, we could be required to pay significant penalties which could adversely affect our cash flow and cause the value of our securities to decline in value.

 

The issuance and sale of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants may cause substantial dilution to existing stockholders and may also depress the market price of our common stock.

 

The exercise price of the Warrants was originally $5.25 per share and has since decreased to $5.09 per share, due to anti-dilutive issuances. The Warrants are exercisable beginning on July 31, 2017 through July 30, 2022. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, and were previously subject to weighted average anti-dilution adjustments in the event the Company issued or was deemed to have issued any securities below the then exercise price of the Warrants, subject to certain exceptions (i.e., the Exempt Issuances, described below), during the 12 months following the closing date (August 11, 2018), each as described in greater detail in the Warrants. After the six-month anniversary of the closing (February 11, 2018), if a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, the Purchasers and the Agent, may exercise the Warrants by means of a “cashless exercise.”

 

Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of common stock or options to employees, consultants, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors of the Company or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of any convertible securities, options or warrants issued and outstanding on the date of the Purchase Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of the Purchase Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise or conversion price of any such securities, and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided any such issuance shall only be to a person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in which the Company receives benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.

 

13

 

 

If exercises of the Warrants and sales of such shares issuable upon exercise thereof take place, the price of our common stock may decline. In addition, the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants may represent overhang that may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Overhang occurs when there is a greater supply of a company’s stock in the market than there is demand for that stock. When this happens the price of the company’s stock will decrease, and any additional shares which stockholders attempt to sell in the market will only further decrease the share price. If the share volume of our common stock cannot absorb shares sold by the Warrant holders, then the value of our common stock will likely decrease.

 

If the selling stockholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the market price of our shares would most likely decline.

 

A significant number of shares of common stock may be resold by the selling stockholders through this prospectus and as a result of other registration statements we have filed. Should the selling stockholders decide to sell their shares at a price below the market price as quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Market, or any other exchange or market on which our common stock might be listed in the future, the price may continue to decline. A steep decline in the price of our common stock upon being quoted on NASDAQ Capital Market, or any exchange on which our common stock might be listed in the future, would adversely affect our ability to raise additional equity capital, and even if we were successful in raising such capital, the terms of such raise may be substantially dilutive to current stockholders.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The proceeds from the sale of the shares offered pursuant to this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the selling stockholders. Accordingly, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares offered by this prospectus. See “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” below, beginning on pages 15 and 23, respectively.

 

We will however, receive proceeds upon the exercise of the unexercised Warrants, which shares of common stock underlying such unexercised Warrants are being registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, provided that such securities are exercised for cash. If exercised, we plan to use the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants (an aggregate of 246,852 unexercised Warrants held by the Investors, totaling an aggregate of $1,256,476.68 in possible funding based on a per Warrant exercise price of $5.09 per share, assuming such unexercised Warrants are fully exercised), for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, the timing and manner of use of the net proceeds may vary, depending on the amount of actual proceeds received from the exercise of the unexercised Warrants, if any, the timing of the receipt of such proceeds, our rate of growth and other factors. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our use of the net proceeds of the offering based on current planning and business conditions. We reserve the right to change our use of proceeds when and if market conditions or unexpected changes in operating conditions or results occur, or in our management’s discretion. Pending the use of the net proceeds from the cash exercise of the unexercised Warrants as described above, we intend to invest the proceeds in investment grade, interest-bearing instruments. Additionally, the unexercised Warrants, or any portion thereof, may not be exercised in the future, and such exercise, subject to the terms of the Warrants, may not be in cash. To the extent that any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are not registered under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, on or after the six month anniversary of their grant date, such unregistered Warrants or portion thereof are exercisable on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of the Warrant agreements.

 

The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, NASDAQ listing fees, and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The following table provides information regarding the selling stockholders and the number of shares the selling stockholders are offering under this prospectus. We have prepared this table based on information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders. Under the rules of the SEC, beneficial ownership includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting or investment power. Beneficial ownership is determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities, including any securities that grant the selling stockholders the right to acquire common stock within 60 days of August 20, 2018. We believe that the selling stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned. Except as set forth in the footnotes below, none of the selling stockholders are affiliated with a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act.

 

The shares may be sold by the selling stockholders, by those persons or entities to whom they transfer, donate, devise, pledge or distribute shares or by other successors in interest. The information regarding shares beneficially owned after this offering assumes the sale of all shares offered by the selling stockholders in this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell less than all of the shares listed in the table. In addition, the shares listed below may be sold pursuant to this prospectus or in privately negotiated transactions. Accordingly, we cannot estimate the number of shares the selling stockholders will sell under this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders have not held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years, other than beneficial ownership of the shares described in the table below, except as set forth in the footnotes below or below under “Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders”.

 

The selling stockholders have represented to us that they purchased the shares of common stock offered herein for their own account, for investment only and not with a view toward selling or distributing them in violation of the Securities Act, except in sales either registered under the Securities Act, or sales that are exempt from registration. In recognition of the fact that the selling stockholders, even though purchasing their shares for investment, may wish to be legally permitted to sell their shares when they deem appropriate, we agreed to file a registration statement to register the resale of the shares. Information regarding the selling stockholders may change from time to time. Any such changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, if required.

MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS WITH SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

Except as described below or in the footnotes above, no selling stockholder has had any material transaction or relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates within the past three years.

 

A condition to the closing of the Offering was that officers and directors of the Company and their affiliates had to have invested at least an aggregate of $500,000 into the Company on the same terms as the Purchasers. In connection therewith, William Kerby, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company purchased $50,000 of the Securities (10,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Simon Orange, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $175,000 of the Securities (35,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Donald Monaco, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $175,000 of the Securities (35,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); Pat LaVecchia, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $10,000 of the Securities (2,000 Shares and Offering Warrants); and Robert J. Post, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company purchased $25,000 of the Securities (5,000 Shares and Offering Warrants). Additionally, Stephen Romsdahl, a significant stockholder of the Company purchased $50,000 of the Securities (10,000 Shares and Offering Warrants) and another non-related party, who is a key distributor of the Company, purchased $100,000 of the Securities (20,000 Shares and Offering Warrants).

 

In connection with the Offering and on July 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with Northland. Pursuant to the Placement Agreement, the Agent agreed to serve as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering on a “reasonable efforts” basis. In consideration for the services provided by the Agent, the Company agreed to pay the Agent, 8% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares and Warrants in the Offering ($245,200) and, for the consideration of $50, to sell to the Agent, a warrant to purchase shares of common stock equal to 5% of the Shares sold in the Offering (i.e., 30,650 shares, which Agent Warrants, were issued in the name of the Agent, Adam Connors, and Shawn Messner, its Managing Directors).

 

As additional consideration for Pacific Grove agreeing to participate in the Offering as a Purchaser, the Company entered into a Board Representation Agreement with Pacific Grove. Pursuant to the Board Representation Agreement, Pacific Grove was granted the right to designate one person to be nominated for election to the Company’s Board of Directors so long as (i) Pacific Grove together with its affiliates beneficially owns at least 4.99% of the common stock, or (ii) Pacific Grove together with its affiliates beneficially owns at least 75% of the Securities purchased in this Offering. To date, Pacific Grove has not nominated any persons to the Board of Directors of the Company.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.00001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we have 8,035,956 shares of our common stock outstanding and no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding, with 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as shares of Series A 10% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred” or “Series A Preferred Stock”).

 

The following description of our capital stock is a summary only and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, and our charter and by-laws, copies of which are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Please refer to the “Where You Can Find More Information” section of this prospectus for directions on obtaining these documents. You should refer to, and read this summary together with, our Articles of Incorporation, designations of preferred stock and Bylaws, each as amended and restated from time to time, to review all of the terms of our capital stock. Our Articles of Incorporation and amendments thereto are incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and other reports incorporated by reference herein.

 

Common Stock

 

Each share of our common stock is entitled to equal dividends and distributions per share with respect to the common stock when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. No holder of any shares of our common stock has a preemptive right to subscribe for any of our securities, nor are any shares of our common stock subject to redemption or convertible into other securities. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, and after payment to our creditors and preferred stockholders, if any, our assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of our common stock. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all stockholder matters. Shares of our common stock do not possess any cumulative voting rights.

 

The presence of the persons entitled to vote of 33 1/3% of the outstanding voting shares on a matter before the stockholders constitutes the quorum necessary for the consideration of the matter at a stockholders’ meeting.

 

Except as otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation, or any certificate of designations, (i) at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, a plurality of votes cast are sufficient to elect such directors; (ii) any other action taken by stockholders are be valid and binding upon the Company if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, at a meeting at which a quorum is present, except that adoption, amendment or repeal of the Bylaws by stockholders requires the vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote; and (iii) broker non-votes and abstentions are considered for purposes of establishing a quorum but not considered as votes cast for or against a proposal or director nominee. Each stockholder has one vote for every share of stock having voting rights registered in his or her name, except as otherwise provided in any preferred stock designation setting forth the right of preferred stock stockholders.

 

The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of 51% of the common stock voting for election of directors can elect 100% of our directors if they choose to do so.

 

20

 

 

Preferred Stock

 

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.

 

The powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each class or series of Preferred Stock, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The holders of record of shares of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company and are entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each share of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at $1.00 per share. The Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to a 10% annual dividend, payable as, when and if, declared by the Board of Directors, payable on the first day of April, July, October and January.

 

Per the terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations relating to the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the availability of authorized and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock may, by written notice to the Company:

 

  elect to convert all or any part of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion rate of the lower of:
    (a) $62.50 per share; or
    (b) at the lowest price the Company has issued stock as part of a financing.
  convert all or part of such holder’s shares (excluding any shares issued pursuant to conversion of unpaid dividends) into debt obligations of the Company, secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, at a rate of $62.50 of debt for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this Company, either voluntary or involuntary (any of the foregoing, a “liquidation”), holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this Company to the holders of the common Stock or any other series of Preferred Stock by reason of their ownership thereof an amount per share equal to $1.00 for each share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations or splits with respect to such shares) of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such holder, plus the amount of accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) from the beginning of the dividend period in which the liquidation occurred to the date of liquidation. Additionally, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock holds a security interest in substantially all of our assets in order to secure our obligations in connection with such Series A Preferred Stock.

 

On July 9, 2013, the Company amended the Certificate of Designations for the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock to allow for conversion into Series C Preferred stock to grant to a holder of the Series A Preferred Stock the option to:

 

●         elect to convert all or any part of such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share (“Series C Preferred Stock”), at a conversion rate of five (5) shares of Series A Preferred Stock for every one (1) share of Series C Preferred Stock; or to allow conversion into common stock at the lowest price the Company has issued stock as part of a financing to include all financings such as new debt and equity financing and stock issuances as well as existing debt conversions into stock.

 

21

 

 

On February 28, 2014, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock shareholders agreed to authorize a change to the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock to lock the conversion price to the lower of (a) a fixed price of $2.50 per share; and (b) the lowest price the Company has issued stock as part of a financing after January 1, 2006.

 

Except for transfers to family members, or trusts for the benefit of Series A Preferred Stock holders, no holder of Series A Preferred Stock is able to transfer his/her/its shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

There are currently no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions Under The Nevada Revised Statutes

 

Certain provisions of Nevada law, and our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws (subject, where applicable as described below, our opting out of certain provisions of Nevada law), contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisition of us by means of a tender offer; acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.

 

These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

Business Combinations

 

Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada revised statues (the “NRS”) prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested stockholder and place certain restrictions on such combinations even after the expiration of the three-year period. With certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person or group that owns 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting power (including stock with respect to which the person has voting rights and any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights) or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 10% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years.

 

A Nevada corporation may elect not to be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 by a provision in its Articles of Incorporation. We have such a provision in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.411 to 78.444; therefore, these sections do not apply to us.

 

Control Shares

 

Nevada law also seeks to impede “unfriendly” corporate takeovers by providing in Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS that an “acquiring person” shall only obtain voting rights in the “control shares” purchased by such person to the extent approved by the other stockholders at a meeting. With certain exceptions, an acquiring person is one who acquires or offers to acquire a “controlling interest” in the corporation, defined as one-fifth or more of the voting power. Control shares include not only shares acquired or offered to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest, but also all shares acquired by the acquiring person within the preceding 90 days. The statute covers not only the acquiring person but also any persons acting in association with the acquiring person.

 

22

 

 

A Nevada corporation may elect to opt out of the provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS. We have no provision in our Articles of Incorporation pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793; therefore, these sections do not apply to us.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Section 78.335 of the NRS provides that 2/3rds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company are required to remove a Director from office. As such, it may be more difficult for stockholders to remove Directors due to the fact the NRS requires greater than majority approval of the stockholders for such removal.

 

Undesignated Preferred Stock

 

The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, will make it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of the Company.

 

Transfer Agent

 

The transfer agent for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 6201 15th Ave, Brooklyn, New York 11219, telephone (800) 937-5449.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering for resale by the selling stockholders and certain transferees a total of 1,256,652 shares of common stock representing (a) 1,009,800 outstanding shares of common stock, held by the selling stockholders named herein; and (b) 246,852 shares of common stock that are issuable in connection with the exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase 246,852 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.09 per share, held by the selling stockholders named herein. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock, although we may receive up to $1,256,476.68 upon the exercise of all of the unexercised Warrants. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock. If the shares of common stock are sold through broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholder will be responsible for any compensation to such broker-dealers or agents.

 

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders will sell their shares of common stock subject to the following:

 

  all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders or their perspective pledgees, donees, transferees or successors in interest, may be sold on the over-the-counter market, any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of our common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise, short sales or in a combination of such transactions;

 

23

 

 

  each sale may be made at market price prevailing at the time of such sale, at negotiated prices, at fixed prices or at carrying prices determined at the time of sale;
  some or all of the shares of common stock may be sold through one or more broker-dealers or agents and may involve crosses, block transactions or hedging transactions. The selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or agents, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock to close out short positions or loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers or agents that in turn may sell such shares; and
  in connection with such sales through one or more broker-dealers or agents, such broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and may receive commissions from the purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they act as broker-dealer or agent or to whom they sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transaction involved). Any broker-dealer or agent participating in any such sale may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and will be required to deliver a copy of this prospectus to any person who purchases any shares of common stock from or through such broker-dealer or agent. We have been advised that, as of the date hereof, none of the selling stockholders have made any arrangements with any broker-dealer or agent for the sale of their shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profits realized by the selling stockholders and any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. In addition, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A selling stockholder may also transfer, devise or gift the shares of common stock by other means not covered in this prospectus in which case the transferee, devisee or giftee will be the selling stockholder under this prospectus.

 

If required at the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

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

 

24

 

 

We will bear all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock registered herein, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with the state securities of “blue sky” laws. The selling stockholders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions and expenses, brokerage fees and transfer taxes, as well as the fees and disbursements of counsel to and experts for the selling stockholders, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the related securities purchase agreements or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We will be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholders for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related securities purchase agreements or we will be entitled to contribution. Once sold under this registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.
