Business Overview

 

Predictive Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ: POAI) operates operate in two primary business areas: first, application of artificial intelligence (“AI”) in our precision medicine business, to provide AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response to improve clinical outcomes for patients and to assist pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotech industries in the development of new personalized drugs and diagnostics; and second, production of the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”)-cleared STREAMWAY® System for automated, direct-to-drain medical fluid disposal and associated products.

 

We have three operating segments: domestic, international, and Helomics. Domestic and international consist of the STREAMWAY System product sales. The Helomics segment consists of clinical testing and contract research. Our TumorGenesis subsidiary is included within corporate. Going forward, we have determined that we will focus our resources on the Helomics segment and our primary mission of applying AI to precision medicine and drug discovery.

 

Precision Medicine Business

 

Our precision medicine business, conducted in our Helomics division, is committed to improving the effectiveness of cancer therapy using our proprietary, multi-omic tumor profiling platform, one-of-a-kind database of historical tumor data, and the power of AI to build predictive models of tumor drug response.

 

Helomics’ mission is to improve clinical outcomes for patients by partnering with pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and academic organizations to bring innovative clinical products and technologies to the marketplace. In addition to our proprietary patient-derived (“PDx”) tumor profiling platform for oncology, Helomics offers: 1) data and AI driven contract research organization (“CRO”) services for clinical and translational research that leverage PDx tumor models, 2) a wide range of multi-omics assays (genomics, proteomics, and biochemical), and 3) AI driven predictive models to drive the discovery of targeted therapies.

 

Contract Research Organization (CRO) and AI-Driven Business

 

We believe leveraging our unique, historical database of the drug responses of over 150,000 patient tumors to build AI and data-driven multi-omic predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome will provide actionable insights critical to both new drug development and individualizing patient treatment. Our large historical database of tumors and related data, plus our ability to obtain the associated patient outcome data is a significant competitive advantage. Cancer treatments require at least 5 years of testing to provide sufficient information on progression-free survival rates. While competitors must wait for this data, we can leverage it today. These AI-driven predictive models, coupled with the PDx platform will create a unique service to drive revenue generating projects with pharma, diagnostic and biotech companies in areas such as biomarker discovery, drug screening, drug repurposing, and clinical trials. The AI-driven models will, once validated, also provide clinical decision support to help oncologists individualize treatment.

 

Our CRO/AI business is committed to improving the process of targeted therapy discovery. Our proprietary, TruTumor multi-omic PDx profiling and AI platform coupled to our vast multi-omic database of biochemical and clinical information on patients with cancer, uses deep learning to understand the association between the mutational profile of a patient’s tumor and the drug response profile of the tumor that is grown in the lab. This approach is used to build an AI-driven predictive model that offers actionable insights of which mutations in the tumor are associated with drugs to which the tumor is sensitive and which will lead to the optimal outcome for the patient.

Our CRO services business applies these AI-driven predictive models coupled with our unique proprietary TruTumor PDx model to address a range of needs from discovery through clinical and translational research, to clinical trials and diagnostic development and validation as noted below:

 

Research

  Biomarker discovery
  Drug discovery
  Drug-repurposing

 

Development

 

  Patient enrichment & selection for trials
  Clinical trial optimization
  Adaptive trials

 

Clinical Decision Support

  Patient stratification
  Treatment selection

 

We believe this market segment has significant growth potential and we believe we are differentiated from traditional CRO’s and other precision medicine and AI companies through these unique assets:

 

•       clinically validated PDx platform;

•       database of over 150,000 tumor cases;

•       experienced AI team and AI platform;

•       ability to access outcome data going back over ten years for over 120,000 of the tumor cases in our database.

 

Industry and Market Background and Analysis – Precision Medicine Business

 

Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in genes, disease, environment, and lifestyle for each case to develop effective therapies. This approach allows doctors and researchers to predict more accurately which treatment, dose, and therapeutic regimen could provide the best possible outcome. The global precision medicine market is estimated to reach $141.7 billion by 2026, up from $43.6 billion in 2016. This growth is supported by the industry’s investment in precision medicine, with leading biopharmaceutical companies doubling their investments in the technology over the last five years, with the potential to increase by an additional 33% over the next five years (Source: BIS Research’s Global Precision Medicine Market to Reach $141.70 Billion by 2026, December 2017).

 

Over the past several decades, researchers have identified molecular patterns that are useful in defining the prognosis of a given cancer, determining the appropriate treatments, and designing targeted treatments to address specific molecular alterations. The objective of precision medicine as directed towards cancer therapy is to develop treatments tailored to the genetic changes in each person’s cancer, intended to improve the effectiveness of the therapeutic regimen and minimize the treatment’s effects on healthy cells. However, for a majority of patients the reality is that while many mutations in the patient’s tumor can be identified most are not actionable with current protocols. As a result, the impact of targeted therapies is low, and uptake in clinical practice is inconsistent.

 

There is now a growing realization that genomics alone will not be enough to achieve the promise of personalized therapeutics, especially for cancer. A multi-omic approach (e.g. assessing the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, proteome, responseome, and microbiome) provides researchers and clinicians the comprehensive information necessary for new drug development and individualized therapy. Comparatively, the multi-omic approach provides a three-dimensional, 360-degree view of the cancer, while genomics alone is just a flat, one-dimensional view. However, multi-omic data is difficult to access quickly as it is both costly and time consuming to initiate prospective data collection, and few comprehensive, multi-omic datasets exist, especially specific to cancer.

Clinical Testing

 

Via our Helomics subsidiary, we offer a group of clinically relevant, cancer-related tumor profiling and biomarker tests for gynecological cancers that determine how likely the patient is to respond to various types of chemotherapy and which therapies might be indicated by relevant tumor biomarkers.

 

Clinical testing is comprised of ChemoFx and BioSpeciFx tests. The ChemoFx test determines how a patient’s tumor specimen responds to a panel of various chemotherapy drugs, while the BioSpeciFx test evaluates the expression of a specific genes, or biomarkers, in the patient’s tumor. Our proprietary TruTumor™ PDx tumor platform provides us with the ability to work with actual live tumor cells to study the unique biology of the patient’s tumor in order to understand how the patient responds to treatment.

 

Testing involves obtaining tumor tissue during biopsy or surgery which is then sent to our Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) certified laboratory using a special collection kit. Two samples of the tumor tissue are obtained, fixed and live. The fixed tumor tissue is tested for a panel of biomarkers using a combination of Immunohistochemistry and Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reactions. The live tumor tissue is grown in the lab and used to test the drug response of the tumor to a panel of standard-of-care drugs. When testing is complete a report is provided back to the clinician with recommended therapies based on the drug response and biomarker profiles. Helomics integrates the drug response with other genomic and molecular data and compares it with historical data in our database to generate a roadmap that provides additional context to help the oncologist personalize patient treatment.

 

Recently Completed Acquisitions

 

In May 2020, the Company acquired the businesses of Soluble Therapeutics, Inc. and BioDtech, Inc. via the purchase of substantially all of their assets. The Soluble Therapeutics business offers services to pharmaceutical and biotech companies to screen proteins for both solubility and stability, with possible applications to vaccines, antibodies and other proteins used in disease treatment. The acquired technologies also specialize in removing, identifying, and isolating endotoxins from products that are used by researchers to culture cells and to help identify endotoxins that maybe hidden within a protective matrix.

 

Business Strategy for Precision Medicine Business

 

We are a data and AI-driven discovery services company that provides AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response to improve clinical outcomes for patients by leveraging our two primary unique assets:

 

  A clinically validated PDx tumor profiling platform, TruTumor, that can generate drug response profiles and other multi-omic data. Over $200 million has been invested in this platform and was clinically validated in ovarian cancer.

 

  Data on the drug response profiles of over 150,000 tumors across 137 cancer types tested using the PDx platform in over 10+ years of clinical testing. We call this database TumorSpace™.

 

Over 38,000 of the more than 150,000 clinically validated cases in our TumorSpace™ database are specific to ovarian cancer. The data in TumorSpace is highly differentiated, having both drug response data, biomarkers and access to historical outcome data from those patient samples. We intend to generate additional data (genomics and transcriptomics) from these tumor samples to deliver a multi-omic approach to the pharmaceutical industry.

 

Through our Helomics subsidiary, we will utilize both this historical data and the PDx platform to build AI-driven predictive models of tumor drug response and outcome through our CancerQuest 2020 (“CCQ2020”) initiative, which is still ongoing. Once validated, we will commercialize these AI-driven predictive models in revenue generating service projects with pharmaceutical, biotech, and diagnostic companies.

 

A key part of our commercialization strategy for the CCQ2020 initiative is the understanding that our AI-driven models of tumor drug response serves a key unmet need of pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotech industries for actionable multi-omic insights on cancer. In collaboration with these companies, using the predictive models, we will accelerate the search for more individualized and effective cancer treatments, through revenue generating projects in biomarker discovery, drug screening, drug repurposing, and clinical trials.

 

Our commercial strategy has identified a portfolio of revenue generating project types that leverage the predictive models, our AI expertise, PDx tumor profiling, and CLIA laboratory to provide custom solutions utilizing our full array of assets and expertise.

 

4

 

The CCQ2020 initiative will focus initially on ovarian cancer, which is where we have the most expertise, samples, data, and access to outcomes. However, we intend to expand the initiative to include cancers of the lung, breast, colon, and prostate, and will actively seek partners to assist in that effort.

 

Within the clinical sector, we will utilize these predictive models (once validated) for new clinical decision support tools for individualizing therapy for patients with cancer. These clinical decision support tools are a longer revenue horizon than the research projects with pharmaceutical companies but, importantly, will provide a steady stream of additional data generation to refine the predictive models for both clinical and research applications.

 

Skyline Medical – The STREAMWAY System

 

Sold through our subsidiary, Skyline Medical, Inc (“Skyline Medical”), the STREAMWAY System virtually eliminates staff exposure to blood, irrigation fluid and other potentially infectious fluids found in the healthcare environment. Antiquated manual fluid handling methods that require hand carrying and emptying filled fluid canisters present both an exposure risk and potential liability. Skyline Medical’s STREAMWAY System fully automates the collection, measurement, and disposal of waste fluids and is designed to: 1) reduce overhead costs to hospitals and surgical centers; 2) improve compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and other regulatory agency safety guidelines; 3) improve efficiency in the operating room and radiology and endoscopy departments, thereby leading to greater profitability; and 4) provide greater environmental stewardship by helping to eliminate the approximately 50 million potentially disease-infected canisters that go into landfills each year in the United States.

 

In December 2019, we announced that we had received indications of interest from several parties for the possible acquisition of our Skyline Medical division, and we reaffirmed that we are focusing our resources on our precision medicine business. We continue to operate the Skyline Medical business with a focus on maximizing our strategic opportunities with respect to this division. As of the date of this Registration Statement, we have no definitive agreement in place.

 

Industry and Market Background and Analysis - Infectious and Bio-hazardous Waste Management

 

There has long been recognition of the collective potential for ill effects to healthcare workers from exposure to infectious/bio-hazardous materials. Federal and state regulatory agencies have issued mandatory guidelines for the control of such materials, and in particular, bloodborne pathogens. OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires employers to adopt engineering and work practice controls that would eliminate or minimize employee exposure from hazards associated with bloodborne pathogens. In 2001, in response to the Needlestick Safety and Prevention Act, OSHA revised the Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. The revised standard clarifies and emphasizes the need for employers to select safer needle devices and to involve employees in identifying and choosing these devices. The revised standard also calls for the use of “automated controls” as it pertains to the minimization of healthcare exposure to bloodborne pathogens.

 

Most surgical procedures produce potentially infectious materials that must be disposed with the lowest possible risk of cross-contamination to healthcare workers. Current standards of care allow for these fluids to be retained in canisters and located in the operating room where they can be monitored throughout the surgical procedure. Once the procedure is complete these canisters and their contents are disposed using a variety of methods, all of which include manual handling and result in a heightened risk to healthcare workers for exposure to their contents. Canisters are the most prevalent means of collecting and disposing of infectious fluids in hospitals today. Traditional, non-powered canisters and related suction and fluid disposable products are exempt and do not require FDA clearance.

 

We believe that our virtually hands free direct-to-drain technology (1) significantly reduces the risk of healthcare worker exposure to these infectious fluids by replacing canisters, (2) further reduces the risk of worker exposure when compared to powered canister technology that requires transport to and from the operating room, (3) reduces the cost per procedure for handling these fluids, and (4) enhances the surgical team’s ability to collect data to accurately assess the patient’s status during and after procedures. In addition to the traditional canister method of waste fluid disposal, several other powered medical devices have been developed that address some of the deficiencies described above. Most of these competing products continue to utilize some variation on the existing canister technology, and while not directly addressing the canister, most have been successful in eliminating the need for an expensive gel and its associated handling and disposal costs. Our existing competitors with products already on the market have a clear competitive advantage over us in terms of brand recognition and market exposure. In addition, many of our competitors have extensive marketing and development budgets that could overpower an emerging growth company like ours.

 

5

 

We expect the hospital surgery market to continue to increase due to population growth, the aging of the population, and expansion of surgical procedures to new areas (for example, use of the endoscope) which requires more fluid management and new medical technology.

 

STREAMWAY System Product Sales

 

Our domestic and international segments consist primarily of sales of the STREAMWAY System, as well as sales of the proprietary cleaning fluid and filters for use with the STREAMWAY System. We manufacture an environmentally conscious system for the collection and disposal of infectious fluids resulting from surgical and other medical procedures. We have been granted patents for the STREAMWAY System in the United States, Canada, and Europe. We distribute our products to medical facilities where bodily and irrigation fluids produced during medical procedures must be contained, measured, documented, and disposed. Our products minimize the exposure potential to the healthcare workers who handle such fluids. In addition to simplifying the handling of these fluids, our goal is to create products that dramatically reduce staff exposure without significant changes to established operative procedures, historically a major industry stumbling block to innovation and product introduction.

 

The STREAMWAY System is a wall-mounted fully automated system that disposes of an unlimited amount of suction fluid providing uninterrupted performance for physicians while virtually eliminating healthcare workers’ exposure to potentially infectious fluids collected during surgical and other patient procedures. The STREAMWAY System also provides an innovative way to dispose of ascites and pleural fluid with no evac bottles, suction canisters, transport, or risk of exposure. We also manufacture and sell two disposable products required for the operation of the STREAMWAY System: a bifurcated dual port procedure filter with tissue trap and a single use bottle of cleaning solution. Both items are utilized on a single procedure basis and must be discarded after use. The STREAMWAY disposables are a critical component of our business model. Recurring revenues from the sale of the disposables are expected to be significantly higher over time than the revenues from the initial sale of the unit. We have exclusive distribution rights to the disposable solution.

 

We sell our medical device products directly to hospitals and other medical facilities using employed sales representatives, independent contractors and distributors.

 

TumorGenesis Division

 

Our subsidiary, TumorGenesis, is pursuing a new rapid approach to growing tumors in the laboratory, which essentially “fools” the cancer cells into thinking they are still growing inside the patient. We have also announced a proposed joint venture with GLG Pharma focused on using their combined technologies to bring personalized medicines and testing to ovarian and breast cancer patients, especially those who present with ascites fluid (over one-third of patients).

 

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

We have suffered recurring losses from operations, and we have significant debt repayment obligations that are due within the current year. Although we have been able to fund our current working capital requirements, principally through debt and equity financing, there is no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future. As a result of our capital needs for operations and debt repayment, we need to raise significant capital, and there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital. As a result management has substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Description of the Private Placement

 

Securities Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement

 

Equity Purchase Agreement. On October 24, 2019 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”) with Oasis Capital, LLC (“Oasis Capital”), providing for the Equity Line. The Equity Purchase Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions in the Equity Purchase Agreement, Oasis Capital is committed to purchase shares (“Put Shares”) having an aggregate value of up to $15.0 million (the “Maximum Commitment Amount”) of our common stock during the period (the “Commitment Period”) commencing on the Execution Date, and ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which Oasis Capital shall have purchased Put Shares equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii) October 24, 2022, or (iii) written notice of termination by the Company to Oasis Capital (which shall not occur at any time that Oasis Capital holds any of the Put Shares). In consideration for Oasis Capital’s execution and delivery of, and performance under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Oasis Capital 104,652 shares (the “Commitment Shares”).

 

Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, Oasis Capital is not obligated to purchase Put Shares unless and until certain conditions (“Closing Conditions”) are met, including but not limited to a registration statement on Form S-1 being effective which registers Oasis Capital’s resale of any Put Shares purchased by it under the Equity Line and the Commitment Shares. The Company filed a Registration Statement registering 1,139,423 shares of Common Stock on Form S-1, which was initially filed on October 30, 2019 that was declared effective by the SEC on November 19, 2019 (Registration No. 333-234366) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). The Company has sold all 1,139,423 shares of Common Stock that were registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement and, as a result, has exhausted the Initial Registration Statement. The Company has filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to enable it to continue to sell Put Shares under the Equity Line.

 

From time to time during the Commitment Period, provided that the Closing Conditions are satisfied, we may, in our sole discretion, provide Oasis Capital with a put notice (each, a “Put Notice”), to purchase a specified number of Put Shares. Each Put Notice may be either an Option 1 Put Notice or an Option 2 Put Notice.

 

Subject to certain limitations and conditions, an “Option 1 Put Notice” will require Oasis Capital to purchase the specified number of Put Shares up to the Option 1 Maximum Put Amount. The “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” means: (a) if, on the trading day when the Put Notice is delivered (the “Put Date”), the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is below $10.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 10,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the average trading volume of our common stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the respective Put Date (the “Average Daily Trading Volume”); and (b) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $10.00 or greater but less than $15.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 12,500 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume; and (c) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $15.00 or greater but less than $20.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 15,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume; and (d) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $20.00 or greater, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume. The purchase price (the “Option 1 Purchase Price”) will be equal to the lesser of (i) the one (1) lowest traded price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the date on which Oasis Capital receives the Put Shares (the “Clearing Date”), or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock on Nasdaq during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Clearing Date associated with the applicable Put Notice during which the Option 1 Purchase Price of our common stock is valued.

The Company may only deliver an Option 2 Put Notice if an Option 1 Put has been previously and effectively processed and its clearing date is the same day as the Put Notice for the subject Option 2 Put. Subject to certain other limitations and conditions, an “Option 2 Put Notice” will require Oasis Capital to purchase the specified number of Put Shares up to up to the Option 2 Maximum Put Amount. The “Option 2 Maximum Put Amount” means the lesser of (i) such amount that equals ten percent (10%) of the daily trading volume of our common stock on the Put Date, and (ii) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00). The purchase price (the “Option 2 Purchase Price”) will be equal to the lesser of (i) 91% of the one (1) lowest traded price of our common stock on Nasdaq during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the trading day associated with the applicable Put Notice during which the Option 2 Purchase Price of our common stock is valued, or (ii) 93% of the volume weighted average price on the Clearing Date, or (iii) 93% of the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the Clearing Date.

 

The Equity Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company, including for liabilities under the Securities Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

With regard to the purchase and resale of the Put Shares, Oasis Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in resales of the Put Shares may be deemed “underwriters.” The Company will receive net proceeds from the sale of the Put Shares directly from Oasis Capital pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement, however, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the Put Shares by Oasis Capital thereafter.

 

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Equity Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2019 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

 

Registration Rights Agreement. In connection with the Equity Line, we also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated the Execution Date, with Oasis Capital (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale any Put Shares purchased by Oasis Capital under the Equity Line and the Commitment Shares (the “Registrable Securities”) in an Initial Registration Statement by the fifth day after the Execution Date. In the event the number of shares available under the Initial Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company must amend the Initial Registration Statement or file a new registration statement (the “Current Registration Statement”), so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As explained above, the effectiveness of the Current Registration Statement is a condition precedent to our ability to continue to sell Put Shares to Oasis Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 25, 2019 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

We will use these proceeds for general corporate and working capital purposes, or for other purposes that our board of directors, in its good faith, deems to be in the best interest of our Company.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following description summarizes the material terms of our capital stock. This summary is, however, subject to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. For greater detail about our capital stock, please refer to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

 

General

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”). Out of the Preferred Stock, as of June 15, 2020, 2,300,000 shares have been designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 79,246 shares were outstanding.

 

The outstanding shares of our Common Stock and Preferred Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of its holders on a 1:1 basis, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership blocker.

 

Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, to provide for the issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock in series and, by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Delaware, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock without a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or of any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to the certificate or certificates establishing the series of Preferred Stock.

 

12

 

Common Stock

 

As of June 15, 2020, we had 11,905,649 shares of common stock outstanding held by approximately 165 stockholders of record.

 

Voting Rights. The holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each outstanding share of Common Stock owned by that shareholder on every matter properly submitted to the shareholders for their vote. Shareholders are not entitled to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.

 

Dividend Rights. Subject to the dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of our Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends and other distributions of cash or any other right or property as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such dividends or distributions.

 

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, holders of our Common Stock would be entitled to share ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution to shareholders after payment of liabilities and after the satisfaction of any liquidation preference owed to the holders of any Preferred Stock.

 

Conversion, Redemption and Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Common Stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive, subscription or similar rights.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Bylaws. Certain provisions of our Bylaws could have anti-takeover effects. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our corporate policies formulated by our Board of Directors. In addition, these provisions also are intended to ensure that our Board of Directors will have sufficient time to act in what our Board of Directors believes to be in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders. Nevertheless, these provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or the assumption of control of us by the holder of a large block of Common Stock, and could also discourage or make more difficult a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interest of our shareholders. These provisions are summarized below.

 

Advance Notice Provisions for Raising Business or Nominating Directors. Sections 2.09 and 2.10 of our Bylaws contain advance-notice provisions relating to the ability of shareholders to raise business at a shareholder meeting and make nominations for directors to serve on our Board of Directors. These advance-notice provisions generally require shareholders to raise business within a specified period of time prior to a meeting in order for the business to be properly brought before the meeting.

 

Number of Directors and Vacancies. Our Bylaws provide that the exact number of directors shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, designated: Class I, Class II and Class III (each, a “Class”). In the case of any increase or decrease, from time to time, in the number of directors, the number of directors in each class shall be apportioned as nearly equal as possible. Except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each director serves for a term ending on the date of the third annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders following the annual meeting at which such director was elected; provided, that the term of each director shall continue until the election and qualification of a successor and be subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or otherwise and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors may be filled solely by a majority of the directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director.

 

13

 

Delaware Law. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. This provision generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

  prior to such date, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
  upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or
  on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

  

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

 

  any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;
  any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder;
  subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;
  any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock of any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or
  the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits provided by or through the corporation.

 

In general, Section 203 defines an “interested stockholder” as any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation, or an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of a corporation at any time within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status; and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

 

These statutory provisions could delay or frustrate the removal of incumbent directors or a change in control of our company. They could also discourage, impede, or prevent a merger, tender offer, or proxy contest, even if such event would be favorable to the interests of stockholders. In addition, note that while Delaware law permits companies to opt out of its business combination statute, our Certificate of Incorporation does not include this opt-out provision.

THE OFFERING

 

The selling stockholder may offer and resell up to 3,288,073 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, pursuant to this prospectus. Such shares represent certain shares of our common stock that Oasis Capital has agreed to purchase from us pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Equity Purchase Agreement we entered into with Oasis Capital on October 24, 2019, which are described below.

 

Equity Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement with Oasis Capital, LLC

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Purchase Agreement, we have the right to “put,” or sell, up to $15,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to Oasis Capital. Oasis Capital’s purchase commitment will automatically terminate on the earlier of (a) the date on which Oasis Capital shall have Put Shares for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000, (b) October 24, 2022 and (c) written notice of termination by the Company to Oasis Capital (which shall not occur at any time that Oasis Capital holds any of the Put Shares). We have no obligation to sell any shares under the Equity Purchase Agreement. As a result of prior sales of our common stock under the Equity Line, $12,810,907 worth of shares of our common stock remains available for future sales under the Equity Line as of the date of this prospectus.

 

In consideration for Oasis Capital’s execution and delivery of, and performance under the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company also issued to Oasis Capital 104,652 shares of our common stock.

 

Under the terms of the Equity Purchase Agreement, Oasis Capital will not be obligated to purchase Put Shares unless and until the Closing Conditions are met, including but not limited to a registration statement being effective which registers Oasis Capital’s resale of any Put Shares purchased by it under the Equity Line and the Commitment Shares. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, upon effectiveness, is intended to satisfy this Closing Condition.

 

From time to time during the Commitment Period, provided that the Closing Conditions are satisfied, we may, in our sole discretion, provide Oasis Capital with a put notice (each, a “Put Notice”), to purchase a specified number of Put Shares. Each Put Notice may be either an Option 1 Put Notice or an Option 2 Put Notice.

 

Subject to certain limitations and conditions, an “Option 1 Put Notice” will require Oasis Capital to purchase the specified number of Put Shares up to the Option 1 Maximum Put Amount. The “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” means: (a) if, on the trading day when the Put Notice is delivered (the “Put Date”), the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is below $10.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 10,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the average trading volume of our common stock in the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the respective Put Date (the “Average Daily Trading Volume”); and (b) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $10.00 or greater but less than $15.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 12,500 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume; and (c) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $15.00 or greater but less than $20.00, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 15,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume; and (d) if, on the Put Date, the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq is $20.00 or greater, then “Option 1 Maximum Put Amount” shall mean the lesser of (i) 20,000 shares, or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the Average Daily Trading Volume. The purchase price (the “Option 1 Purchase Price”) will be equal to the lesser of (i) the one (1) lowest traded price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the date on which Oasis Capital receives the Put Shares, or (ii) the average of the three (3) lowest closing sale prices of our common stock on Nasdaq during the twelve (12) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Clearing Date associated with the applicable Put Notice during which the Option 1 Purchase Price of our common stock is valued.

 

The Company may only deliver an Option 2 Put Notice if an Option 1 Put has been previously and effectively processed and its clearing date is the same day as the Put Notice for the subject Option 2 Put. Subject to certain other limitations and conditions, an “Option 2 Put Notice” will require Oasis Capital to purchase the specified number of Put Shares up to up to the Option 2 Maximum Put Amount. The “Option 2 Maximum Put Amount” means the lesser of (i) such amount that equals ten percent (10%) of the daily trading volume of our common stock on the Put Date, and (ii) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00). The purchase price (the “Option 2 Purchase Price”) will be equal to the lesser of (i) 91% of the one (1) lowest traded price of our common stock on Nasdaq during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the trading day associated with the applicable Put Notice during which the Option 2 Purchase Price of our common stock is valued, or (ii) 93% of the volume weighted average price on the Clearing Date, or (iii) 93% of the closing bid price of our common stock on Nasdaq on the Clearing Date.

In connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement, on October 24, 2019, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement (and together with the Equity Purchase Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”) with Oasis Capital requiring us to prepare and file a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Initial Registration Statement”) registering the resale by Oasis Capital of the Registrable Securities by October 29, 2019. The Company is obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement and any amendment thereto declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. In the event the number of shares available under the Initial Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, the Company must amend the Initial Registration Statement or file a new registration statement, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) business days after the necessity therefor arises, subject to any limits that may be imposed by the SEC pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As explained above, the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement is a condition precedent to our ability to sell Put Shares to Oasis Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement. We do not have the obligation to sell any Put Shares to Oasis Capital.

 

The Company is obligated to use reasonable best efforts to keep all Registration Statements effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by Oasis Capital of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which Oasis Capital may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any restrictions (including any restrictions under Rule 144(c) or Rule 144(i)) and (ii) the date on which Oasis Capital shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Put Shares remain issuable under the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

The Initial Registration Statement filed by the Company registered 1,139,423 shares of Common Stock on Form S-1, which was initially filed on October 30, 2019, and declared effective by the SEC on November 19, 2019 (Registration No. 333-234366) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). These shares included (i) the 104,652 Commitment Shares and (ii) 1,034,771 shares that may be sold as Put Shares to Oasis Capital.  The Company has previously sold all 1,139,423 shares of Common Stock that were registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement and, as a result, has exhausted the Initial Registration Statement. The Company has filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to enable it to continue to sell Put Shares under the Equity Line.

 

The 3,288,073 shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus by Oasis Capital represent one third of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by non-affiliates of our Company as of June 15, 2020.

 

The Transaction Documents contain covenants, representations and warranties of our Company and Oasis Capital that are typical for transactions of this type. Oasis Capital also agreed that neither it nor any affiliate acting on Oasis Capital’s behalf or pursuant to any understanding with Oasis Capital, will execute any short sales during the three-year term of the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

In addition, we and Oasis Capital have granted each other customary indemnification rights in connection with the Equity Purchase Agreement.

 

We intend to sell Oasis Capital periodically shares of our common stock under the Equity Purchase Agreement and Oasis Capital may, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price or at negotiated prices. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to Oasis Capital to raise the intended amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

Likelihood of Accessing the Full Amount of the Equity Line

 

Notwithstanding that the Equity Line is in an amount of $15,000,000, we anticipate that the actual likelihood that we will be able to access the full amount of the Equity Line is low due to several factors, including that our ability to access the Equity Line is impacted by our average daily trading volume, which may limit the maximum dollar amount of each put we deliver to Oasis Capital, and our stock price. Our use of the Equity Line will continue to be limited and restricted if our share trading volume or and market price of our stock continue at their current levels or decrease further in the future from the volume and stock prices reported over the past year. Further, if the price of our stock remains at $1.89 per share (which represents the last reported sale price of the shares of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market on June 19, 2020), the sale by Oasis Capital of all 3,288,073 of the Put Shares that are registered in this prospectus would mean we would receive only approximately $6.2 million. When added to the proceeds received from our sale of Put Shares prior to the date of this prospectus (which were registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement), we will only have received gross proceeds of approximately $7.7 million from our sale of the shares under the Equity Line. Our ability to issue shares in excess of the 3,288,073 Put Shares covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be subject to our filing a subsequent registration statement with the SEC and the SEC declaring it effective.

 

In addition, because our ability to deliver puts to Oasis Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement is subject to a number of conditions, there is no guarantee that we will receive all or any portion of the $15,000,000 that is available to us under the Equity Line.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

This prospectus covers the resale by the selling stockholder or its permitted transferees of up to 3,288,073 shares that have been or may be issued by us to Oasis Capital under the Equity Purchase Agreement. Oasis Capital is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with its resale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholder has not had any position or office, or other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates over the past three years. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock by the selling stockholder as of June 15, 2020 and the number of shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The table below (i) lists the selling stockholder and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (except with respect to the totals in Column 2, as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) of our common stock by the selling stockholder; (ii) have been prepared based upon information furnished to us by the selling stockholder; and (iii) to our knowledge, is accurate as of the date of this prospectus. The selling stockholder may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. The selling stockholder identified in the table below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of its shares since the date of this prospectus in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the selling stockholder may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly and as required.

(1)

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Shares of common stock subject to options and warrants currently exercisable, or exercisable within 60 days, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options or warrants but are not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.

(2) The amount and percentage of shares of our common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering assume that they will sell all shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus.
   
(3) Based on 11,905,649  shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of June 15, 2020 of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus by the selling stockholder are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage beneficial ownership of such selling stockholder.
   
(4) Includes up to 380,193 shares that may be purchased by Oasis Capital under warrants that may be exercised within 60 days, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.  Oasis Capital is not currently considered to beneficially own the shares it may purchase under the equity purchase agreement, because it does not control whether it purchases any or all of such shares. Adam Long has sole voting and investment control over shares owned by Oasis Capital.
 
(5) Represents one-third of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates of our Company as of June 15, 2020.
   
(6) Includes up to 380,193 shares that may be purchased by Oasis Capital under warrants that may be exercised within 60 days, subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation.  Oasis Capital is not currently considered to beneficially own the shares it may purchase under the equity purchase agreement, because it does not control whether it purchases any or all of such shares.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholder or its permitted transferees may, from time to time, sell any or all of shares of our common stock covered hereby on the Nasdaq stock market, or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  privately negotiated transactions;
  in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, provided such amounts are in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of common stock will be paid by the selling stockholder and/or the purchasers.

 

18

 

Oasis Capital is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Because Oasis Capital is an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of securities of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling security holders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.

 

Although Oasis Capital has agreed not to enter into any “short sales” of our common stock, sales after delivery of a put notice of a number of shares reasonably expected to be purchased under a put notice shall not be deemed a “short sale.” Accordingly, Oasis Capital may enter into arrangements it deems appropriate with respect to sales of shares of our common stock after it receives a put notice under the Equity Purchase Agreement so long as such sales or arrangements do not involve more than the number of put shares reasonably expected to be purchased by Oasis Capital under such put notice.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

We are a Delaware corporation and certain provisions of the Delaware Statutes and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which indemnification is provided is discussed below, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides for, under certain circumstances, the indemnification of our officers, directors, employees and agents against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification provided for is contained herein, but that description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant Section of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

In general, the statute provides that any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in a proceeding (including any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceeding) to which the individual was a party by reason of such status. Such indemnity may be provided if the indemnified person’s actions resulting in the liabilities: (i) were taken in good faith; (ii) were reasonably believed to have been in or not opposed to our best interest; and (iii) with respect to any criminal action, such person had no reasonable cause to believe the actions were unlawful. Unless ordered by a court, indemnification generally may be awarded only after a determination of independent members of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, by independent legal counsel or by vote of the stockholders that the applicable standard of conduct was met by the individual to be indemnified.

 

The statutory provisions further provide that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any proceeding to which he was a party, he is entitled to receive indemnification against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the proceeding.

 

Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the Company in which the director, officer, employee or agent is successful is permitted only with respect to expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense. In such actions, the person to be indemnified must have acted in good faith, in a manner believed to have been in our best interest and must not have been adjudged liable to us unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expense which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Indemnification is otherwise prohibited in connection with a proceeding brought on behalf of the Company in which a director is adjudged liable to us, or in connection with any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director in which the director is adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit.

    

 

 

Delaware law authorizes us to reimburse or pay reasonable expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding in advance of a final disposition of the matter. Such advances of expenses are permitted if the person furnishes to us a written agreement to repay such advances if it is determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by us.

 

The statutory section cited above further specifies that any provisions for indemnification of or advances for expenses does not exclude other rights under our certificate of incorporation, corporate bylaws, resolutions of our stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. These indemnification provisions continue for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such persons.

 

The statutory provision cited above also grants the power to the Company to purchase and maintain insurance policies that protect any director, officer, employee or agent against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in such capacity arising out of his status as such. Such policies may provide for indemnification whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to provide for it.

 

Article 8 of our certificate of incorporation provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

We have purchased directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in order to limit the exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted for our directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Item 16. Exhibits.

    

See “Exhibit Index” below, which follows the signature page to this registration statement.

 

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     
  (i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
  (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an 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;

   

 

 

  (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
       
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
       
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
       
    (4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
     
  (i) 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
     
  (ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), 424(b)(5), or 424(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), 415(a)(1)(vii), or 415(a)(1)(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
       
    (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
     
  (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

   

  (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

 

     
  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
       
    (b) The undersigned registrant hereby further undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
       
    (c) 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 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.
       
    (d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
       
    (e) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
       
    (f) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
       
    (g) If and when applicable, the Registrant hereby further undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
