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.

 

Overview

 

Monaker Group, Inc., is an innovative technology company that is building next generation solutions to power the travel, gaming, and cryptocurrency industries. We believe the most promising part of our business plan is our ability to achieve shareholder value through acquisition and organic growth that presents new opportunities in the leisure space and strengthens our existing technology platforms.

 

Through our subsidiaries NextTrip and Maupintour (soon to be rebranded as NextTrip Journeys), we provide travel technology solutions with a primary emphasis on alternative lodging rental (ALR) properties. Our proprietary Booking Engine, branded as NextTrip ConNextions, provides travel distributors access to a sizeable inventory of ALR properties allowing them to combine ALR with traditional components of travel (Air, Car, Cruise, etc.).

 

Our industry-leading platform assists property managers in booking, and broadening the market for, their homes. The Company serves three major constituents: (1) property managers, (2) travelers, and (3) other travel/lodging distributors. Property managers integrate their detailed property listings into the Monaker Booking Engine with the goal of reaching a broad audience of travelers seeking ALRs, through distribution channels they could not access otherwise.

 

All of Monaker’s ALRs, also commonly referred to as Vacation Rentals are:

 

  i) Controlled by Property Management Companies. This is a key point of differentiation for Monaker, as the sole focus of Property Management Companies is to rent and service their properties, unlike an individual homeowner who often rents their property on a casual or part-time basis. We believe working with property managers results in four key benefits:

 

  All properties are Instantly Bookable (all Property Management Company inventory is integrated into Monaker’s Booking Engine allowing for instant confirmations);

 

  Higher levels of service for renters (property managers are full-time operators);

 

  Higher Quality Assurance (property managers generally have an incentive to eliminate trouble properties); and

 

  Certified Rentable (most property managers are licensed and bonded requiring them to ensure properties are “legal to rent” and are further responsible for paying required taxes on behalf of homeowners.

 

  ii) Exclusively Individual Units. Our vacation homes and residential resort units are never shared, nor do we rent rooms in homes like other ALR companies. All ALR inventory is fully furnished, privately owned residential properties, including homes, condominiums, apartments, villas and cabins that property managers rent to the public on a nightly, weekly or monthly basis.

 

We believe that Monaker business-to-business (B2B) ALR offerings are timely in addressing traditional travel distributors’ needs to protect their client base by allowing them seamless access to ALR products. With the rapid growth of companies like Airbnb, we believe that traditional travel companies are realizing that not having access to this high demand vacation rental inventory means risking the loss of their consumers to other ALR sites. By connecting to Monaker’s Booking Engine, travel distributors can sell ALR inventory alongside their existing travel products (i.e., Air/Car/Hotel/Cruise/Tour bookings). This solves a key issue by allowing the customers of traditional travel distributors to complete their entire vacation package booking on their website versus forcing them to go to an ALR website and potentially lose the entire booking.

As discussed in greater detail below under “Stock Purchase Agreement”, on November 16, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of Longroot, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Longroot”), which in turn owned 57% of Longroot Limited, a Cayman Islands company (“Longroot Cayman”). Longroot Cayman owned 49% of the outstanding shares (100% of the ordinary shares) of Longroot Holding (Thailand) Company Limited (“Longroot Thailand”), provided that Longroot Cayman controls 90% of Longroot Thailand’s voting shares and therefore effectively controls Longroot Thailand. Longroot has since increased its ownership in Longroot Cayman and currently Longroot owns an approximate 36.75% indirect interest in Longroot Thailand, due to its ownership of 75% of Longroot Cayman, which in turn owns 49% of Longroot Thailand (75% x 49% = 36.75%)), provided that Longroot Cayman controls 90% of Longroot Thailand’s voting shares and therefore effectively controls Longroot Thailand. A total of 22.9% of Longroot Cayman is owned by Axion Interactive Inc. (BVI), of which Axion Ventures, Inc. (“Axion”), holds a 100% interest. Monaker currently owns rights to approximately 33.85% of Axion’s shares.

Longroot Thailand, provides blockchain technology solutions for the fast-growing cryptocurrency marketplace. Longroot Thailand is an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) portal operator authorized and regulated under the Thai Digital Asset Business Law and licensed by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission. Longroot Thailand provides fully regulated and licensed digital assets financing, and investment services for digital assets. This innovative business model opens the door for new digital currency financing mechanisms, and new digital investment products. Monaker, with its indirect control over Longroot Thailand, is planning to use Longroot Thailand’s technology and digital asset capabilities to create regulated cryptocurrencies designed to allow consumers to invest in unique revenue streams in wholesale travel, real estate homes and hotels, gaming assets and digital advertising – as well as potential token and loyalty program opportunities complementary to Monaker’s planned gaming and current travel businesses.

 

Stock Purchase Agreement

 

As discussed above, on November 16, 2020, Monaker acquired 100% of Longroot, which in turn owned 57% of Longroot Cayman. Longroot Cayman owns 49% of the outstanding shares (100% of the ordinary shares) of Longroot Thailand, provided that Longroot Cayman controls 90% of Longroot Thailand’s voting shares and therefore effectively controls Longroot Thailand.

 

The acquisition was made pursuant to the November 2, 2020 Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) entered into between the Company and Dr. Jason Morton (“Morton”), and for certain limited purposes set forth therein, Longroot. Pursuant to the SPA, the Company purchased, 100% of Longroot, in consideration for (a) $1,700,000 in cash; and (b) 200,000 shares of restricted common stock. A total of $100,000 was paid as a non-refundable deposit towards the purchase of Longroot on October 15, 2020, and a total of $700,000 was paid at the closing on November 16, 2020, along with the issuance of the 200,000 shares. Additionally, prior to the closing, the Company advanced a separate $400,000 to Longroot which was used for working capital prior to closing which brought the purchase price to a total of $2.1 million of cash (without taking into account the value of the shares). The remaining $900,000 owed to Morton pursuant to the terms of the SPA (the “Remaining Cash Payments”) was payable in three installments of $300,000 each, due on or prior to (i) December 16, 2020 (30 days after the closing), which amount has been paid in full; (ii) March 16, 2021 (120 days after the closing); and (iii) April 15, 2021 (150 days after the closing). Pursuant to the SPA, Morton had the option to elect to receive any or all of the Remaining Cash Payments in shares of common stock of the Company, with such number of shares issuable based on a Company stock price of $3.00 per share.

The Company provided Morton demand registration rights in connection with shares of restricted common stock of the Company held by Morton, provided that Morton is not authorized to request more than one demand registration in any 12-month period. In the event such demand registration right is exercised, the Company has 60 days to file a registration statement to register the shares demanded to be registered and is required to use commercially reasonable best efforts thereafter to gain effectiveness of such registration statement, with all fees being paid for by the Company. The demand registration right has no expiration date.

 

Effective on December 11, 2020, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Morton, which revised the terms of the SPA. Pursuant to the letter agreement, we agreed to accelerate the payment of an aggregate of $150,000 of the $300,000 which was payable pursuant to the terms of the SPA on or prior to April 15, 2021 (which amount was promptly paid), in consideration for Morton agreeing to withdraw a prior demand he had made for the Company to file a registration statement to register the 200,000 shares of common stock previously issued to Morton pursuant to the terms of the SPA. We also agreed to file a registration statement to register the initial 200,000 shares issued no later than January 31, 2021, which Registration Statement on Form S-3 was timely filed on January 29, 2021 and has been declared effective by the SEC to date.

 

On January 5, 2021, the Company, through Longroot, subscribed to purchase an additional 100 shares of Longroot Cayman, in consideration for $1 million. The subscription was made pursuant to certain pre-emptive rights set forth in a shareholders’ agreement entered into between the shareholders of Longroot Cayman, and brought Longroot’s ownership of Longroot Cayman up to 75%.

 

On March 19, 2021, Morton exercised his option to receive the remaining consideration due to him in shares of common stock, and the Company issued Morton 150,000 shares of restricted common stock in full satisfaction of the final amounts due. This prospectus forms a part of the registration statement for the issuance of 150,000 shares of restricted common stock to Morton.

 

A total of 22.9% of Longroot Cayman is owned by Axion Interactive Ltd., of which Axion holds a 60% interest. Monaker currently owns approximately 33.85% of Axion’s shares.

 

Currently Longroot owns an approximate 36.75% indirect interest in Longroot Thailand, due to its ownership of 75% of Longroot Cayman, which in turn owns 49% of Longroot Thailand (75% x 49% = 36.75%)), provided that Longroot Cayman controls 90% of Longroot Thailand’s voting shares and therefore effectively controls Longroot Thailand.

 

Longroot Thailand is an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) portal operator authorized and regulated under Thai Digital Asset Business Law and licensed by the Thai Securities and Exchange Commission. Longroot Thailand provides fully regulated and licensed digital assets financing, and investment services for digital assets. The Company believes that this innovative new business model opens the door to new financing mechanisms, and new investment products. Monaker, as a majority stakeholder in Longroot Thailand, is planning to use the technology and digital asset capabilities to create cryptocurrencies regulated under Thai law, designed to allow consumers to invest in unique revenue streams in wholesale travel, real estate homes and hotels, gaming assets and digital advertising – as well as potential token and loyalty program opportunities complementary to Monaker’s gaming and travel businesses.

 

Letter of Intent to Acquire Axion shares

 

On October 28, 2020, the Company entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (as amended by the first amendment thereto dated March 10, 2021, the “Letter of Intent”) with Radiant Ventures Limited, which manages Radiant VC1 Limited and Radiant PV 1 Limited, two stockholders of Axion, which entity the Company acquired rights to 33.85% of on November 16, 2020, provided that the Company has yet to formally complete the transfer of the ownership of the Axion shares into its name, due to a Cease Trade Order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission, which impacts Axion.

 

5 

 

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, we agreed, subject to certain condition precedents, including regulatory approvals and the entry into material agreements with the sellers, to acquire approximately 12 million shares of Axion, equal to 5.7% of Axion’s outstanding shares, from the stockholders for approximately $2 million, payable in a combination of stock and cash. In connection with our entry into the Letter of Intent, we paid the sellers a $500,000 non-refundable deposit towards the cash purchase price of the shares in or around October 2020 (representing 25% of such purchase price). We also issued the sellers 235,000 shares of common stock in March 2020, representing an additional 25% of the purchase price. Both payments are non-refundable. A final payment of 50% of the purchase price is due 10 days after the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC) lifts a cease trade order on Axion’s shares and is payable at the option of the sellers in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, based on a 20% discount to the Company’s stock price at the time the election to take such final payment in shares is made, provided that such stock price valuation will not be less than $2.00 per share and not more than $3.00 per share. The Letter of Intent terminates if the final payment has not been made by the earlier of June 30, 2021 and 15 days after the BCSC lifts the Axion no trade order. The purchase is also contingent on the sellers granting the Company a proxy to vote the shares to be purchased of Axion through closing. The purchase remains subject to the negotiation of, and entry into, a definitive purchase agreement with the sellers, as well as other closing conditions, which have not been entered into to and/or which have not been completed, to date.

 

Warrant Grants and Exercises

 

Warrant Grants

 

On or around March 19, 2021 and March 22, 2021, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock to seven warrant holders (all unrelated third parties) in consideration for the immediate exercise of newly granted warrants. The warrants replaced prior warrants which had expired in 2020 (which had exercise prices from between $3.75 and $5.00 per share) and had an exercise price of $2.00 per share and an expiration date on March 31, 2021 (the “New Warrants”). Those warrants were subsequently exercised for cash on or around March 31, 2021, and the Company received cash of $320,000 in connection with such exercises. The 160,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof were issued on or around April 1, 2021. The Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the future, and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, is registering such shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

 

Warrant Exchanges

 

On or around March 19, 2021 and March 22, 2021, the Company exchanged warrants to purchase an aggregate of 51,900 shares of common stock held by two of the same warrant holders who were granted New Warrants, which had an exercise price of $5.13 per share and an expiration date of July 30, 2022, for new warrants which had an exercise price of $2.00 per share and an expiration date on March 31, 2021 (the “Exchanged Warrants”). Those warrants were subsequently exercised for cash on or around March 31, 2021, and the Company received cash of $103,800 in connection with such exercises. The 51,900 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof were issued on or around April 1, 2021. The Company agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in the future, and the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, is registering such shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

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.

 

9 

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “will,” “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. 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

 

Before making an investment decision, you should consider the “Risk Factors” included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained under Item 1A of Part I of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2021, and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our subsequent filings and reports under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. For more information, see “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference. The market or trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks. In addition, please read “Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus supplement, where we describe additional uncertainties associated with our business and the forward-looking statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

The securities offered herein are highly speculative and should only be purchased by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment in us. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the aforementioned risk factors that are incorporated herein by reference and other information in this prospectus before deciding to become a holder of our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described in these incorporated documents and described below are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business and financial results could be negatively affected to a significant extent. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

  

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”, beginning on pages 12 and 14, respectively.

 

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.

Selling Stockholders

 

The following table provides information regarding the selling stockholders and the number of shares the selling stockholders are offering under this prospectus. 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 June 24, 2021. 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, the selling stockholders are not 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 the selling stockholders 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.

 

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.

Plan of Distribution

 

We are registering for resale by the selling stockholders and certain transferees a total of 596,900 shares of common stock, 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. 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 stockholders 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;
  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.

 

13 

 

 

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 stockholder 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. The selling stockholders 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.

 

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. 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.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

As authorized by Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we may indemnify our officers and directors against expenses incurred by such persons in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, involving such persons in their capacities as officers and directors, so long as such persons acted in good faith and in a manner which they reasonably believed to be in our best interests. If the legal proceeding, however, is by or in our right, the director or officer may not be indemnified in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which he is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to us unless a court determines otherwise.

 

Under Nevada law, corporations may also purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer (or is serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation) for any liability asserted against such person and any expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director or officer. These financial arrangements may include trust funds, self-insurance programs, guarantees and insurance policies.

 

Additionally, our Bylaws, as amended and restated (“Bylaws”), state that we shall indemnify every (i) present or former director, advisory director or officer of us, (ii) any person who while serving in any of the capacities referred to in clause (i) served at our request as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and (iii) any person nominated or designated by (or pursuant to authority granted by) the Board of Directors or any committee thereof to serve in any of the capacities referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) (each an “Indemnitee”).

 

Our Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify an Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any proceeding in which he was, is or is threatened to be named as a defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being named a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his serving or having served, or having been nominated or

 

 

designated to serve, if it is determined that the Indemnitee (a) conducted himself in good faith, (b) reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity, that his conduct was in our best interests and, in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to our best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, that in the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to us or is found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by the Indemnitee, the indemnification (i) is limited to reasonable expenses actually incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the proceeding and (ii) shall not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the Indemnitee shall have been found liable for willful or intentional misconduct in the performance of his duty to us.

 

Except as provided above, the Bylaws provide that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any proceeding in which such Indemnitee has been (a) found liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the Indemnitee’s official capacity, or (b) found liable to us. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Indemnitee did not meet the requirements set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom. Reasonable expenses shall include, without limitation, all court costs and all fees and disbursements of attorneys’ fees for the Indemnitee. The indemnification provided shall be applicable whether or not negligence or gross negligence of the Indemnitee is alleged or proven.

 

Neither our Bylaws nor our Articles of Incorporation include any specific indemnification provisions for our officers or directors against liability under the Securities Act. Additionally, insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii) 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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (i)(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 Commission by the registrant pursuant to sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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) of this chapter that is 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 of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

(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 of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

 

 

 (ii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

 

(5) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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