ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is a part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the selling stockholders may from time to time sell the shares of Common Stock described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. When the selling stockholders sell Common Stock under this prospectus, such selling stockholders may provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.
As permitted under the rules of the SEC this prospectus incorporates important business information about ExamWorks Group, Inc. that is contained in documents that we file with the SEC, but that are not included in or delivered with this prospectus. You may obtain copies of these documents, without charge, from the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov, as well as other sources. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” in this prospectus.
You should rely only on the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with additional or different information from that contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. You should assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus is accurate only as of any date on the front cover of this prospectus or the date of the document incorporated by reference, as applicable, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. We are not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss in this prospectus under the caption “Risk Factors.” You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
This prospectus also contains statistical data and estimates, including those relating to market size and growth rates of the markets in which we participate, that we obtained from industry publications and generated with internal analysis and estimates. These publications include forward-looking statements made by the authors of such reports. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Some data and information are also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys as well as the independent sources listed above. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and cannot assure you of its accuracy or completeness.
SUMMARY
The following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section titled “Risk Factors” and our historical consolidated financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference to our Form 10-K.
Our Company
ExamWorks is a leading provider of independent medical examinations (“IMEs”), peer reviews, bill reviews, Medicare compliance, and other related services (“IME services” or the “IME industry”). We provide these IME services through our medical panel of independently contracted, credentialed physicians and other medical providers. Our clients include property and casualty insurance carriers, law firms, third-party claim administrators, and government agencies that use independent services to confirm the veracity of claims by sick or injured individuals for workers’ compensation, automotive, personal injury liability and disability insurance coverage. We help our clients manage costs and enhance their risk management and compliance processes by verifying the validity, nature, cause and extent of claims, identifying fraud and providing fast, efficient and quality IME services.
We deliver our services in all 50 U.S. states, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. Our operating model enables us to offer our clients the localized services they are accustomed to, while realizing the benefits of scale that accrue to a larger, integrated company. We provide our clients with the local presence, expertise and broad geographic coverage they increasingly require. Our size and geographic reach give our clients access to our medical panel and proprietary information technology infrastructure that has been specifically designed to streamline the complex process of coordinating referrals, scheduling appointments, complying with regulations and client reporting. Our primary service is to provide IMEs that give our clients authoritative and accurate answers to questions regarding the nature and permanency of medical conditions or personal injury, their cause and appropriate treatment. Additionally, we provide peer reviews, which consist of medical opinions by members of our medical panel without conducting physical exams, and bill reviews, which consist of the review of physician and hospital bills to examine medical care rendered and its conformity to accepted standards of care and/or pricing.
The qualifications, experience and availability of physicians and other medical providers are critical to the IME industry, as they are the primary determinants of the speed and quality with which IME services are performed. We provide our physicians and other medical providers with seamless document management, scheduling, transcription and tracking systems, helping them increase efficiency and optimize the number of IME services they can conduct based on their availability. Our ability to minimize administrative burden and schedule appointments efficiently encourages physicians and other medical providers to perform IME services through us. Based on client and physician feedback, we believe our medical panel effectively meets our clients’ needs.
Our revenues consist primarily of fees per IME service performed. Our fees vary by physician/medical provider, specialty and type of service. Our primary costs are the payments made to physicians and other medical providers on our medical panel. Our costs are variable as virtually all medical panel members are independent contractors, allowing us to maintain and manage our operating margins more effectively. Our long-standing relationships with clients have resulted in historically consistent and recurrent demand for our services.
From July 14, 2008 through the date of this filing, we have acquired 46 IME services businesses, including leading IME services businesses in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as a leading provider of software solutions to the IME industry. As a result of our corporate infrastructure and scale, we have developed and refined our services by identifying and integrating processes from acquired businesses throughout our entire organization that require accountability, set clear sales goals, and track progress effectively.
We also maintain industry certifications and accreditations in order to ensure the quality and integrity of our IME services and processes. For example, ExamWorks' private cloud computing platform allows us to maintain some of the industry's most rigorous controls for the protection of confidential information. Our SSAE 16 certification, awarded upon the successful completion of a SSAE 16 Audit in North America, validates the robust nature of our technology platform and information security controls. In addition, industry-specific accreditations such as Utilization Review Accreditation Commission demonstrate that we have consistently met meaningful standards of quality and compliance in the delivery of our services.
Risk Factors
Before you invest in our Common Stock, you should be aware that there are various risks associated with your investment, including the risks described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7, the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the other documents incorporated by reference herein and the risks that we have highlighted in other sections of this prospectus. You should carefully read and consider these risk factors together with all of the other information included in this prospectus before you decide to purchase shares of our Common Stock.
Corporate Information
ExamWorks, Inc., which we refer to herein as EWI, was incorporated in Delaware on April 27, 2007. ExamWorks Group, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware on June 22, 2010, to enable its now wholly-owned subsidiary, EWI, to implement a holding company organizational structure. Effective June 23, 2010, EWI reorganized into a holding company structure. Our executive offices are located at 3280 Peachtree Road, N.E., Suite 2625, Atlanta, GA 30305 and our telephone number at this location is (404) 952-2400. Our website is www.examworks.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not part of this prospectus and should not be relied upon in connection with making any investment decision with respect to the securities offered by this prospectus.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves risks and uncertainties that could affect us and our business. You should carefully consider the risks described and discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and in any other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including without limitation any updated risks included in our subsequent periodic reports. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our securities to decline. You could lose all or part of your investment. These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by risk factors contained in any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment we may file or in other reports we file with the SEC in the future. In addition, new risks may emerge at any time and we cannot predict such risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance.
Risks related to our common stock
The market price of our common stock may be volatile, which could cause the value of our common stock to decline.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile due to a number of factors including, without limitation, those listed in “Risk Factors” and the following, some of which are beyond our control:
● |
quarterly variations in our results of operations; |
● |
results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors; |
● |
the failure of securities analysts to publish research about us or to make changes in their financial estimates; |
● |
results of operations that vary from those of our competitors; |
● |
changes in expectations as to our future financial performance and growth, including financial estimates by securities analysts and investors; |
● |
announcements by us, our competitors or our vendors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint marketing relationships, joint ventures or capital commitments; |
● |
announcements by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us; |
● |
new laws and governmental regulations applicable to the IME industry; |
● |
a default under agreements covering our existing or future indebtedness; |
● |
future sales of our common stock by us, directors, executives and significant stockholders; and |
● |
changes in economic and political conditions. |
Furthermore, the stock market has recently experienced extreme volatility that has particularly affected the market price of the stock of many early-stage companies and that, in some cases, has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. Further, securities class action suits have been filed against companies following periods of market volatility in the price of their securities. If such an action is instituted against us, we may incur substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which would seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
Failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.
As a public company, we have significant requirements for financial reporting and internal controls. The process of maintaining and implementing effective internal controls is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a system of internal controls that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company. If we are unable to maintain appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations on a timely basis, result in material misstatements in our financial statements and harm our operating results. In addition, we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting every fiscal year. Each assessment includes a disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our internal control over financial reporting, as well as a statement that our auditors have issued an attestation report on effectiveness of our internal controls. Testing and maintaining internal controls may divert our management’s attention from other matters that are important to our business. We may not be able to conclude in the future that we have effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or our independent registered public accounting firm may not issue an unqualified report. If either we are unable to conclude in the future that we have effective internal control over financial reporting or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide us with an unqualified report, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.
Future sales of shares by existing stockholders or the possibility or perception of such future sales could cause our stock price to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, could substantially decrease the market price of our common stock. If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline. Substantially all of the shares of our common stock are eligible for sale in the public market.
The exercise of options or other equity awards or the issuance and/or payout of additional equity will result in dilution to our stockholders.
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Stock Incentive Plan as amended (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), the Company granted, and in the future intends to grant, awards of stock options to purchase common stock and other awards to our officers, directors, employees and consultants. As of May 1, 2014, approximately 6,486,345 shares of our common stock were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options, approximately 458,399 shares were subject to vesting and payout under outstanding restricted stock units, and approximately 354,731 shares were subject to vesting and payout under outstanding restricted share awards. Also, as of May 1, 2014, approximately 86,650 shares of our common stock were subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants.
Our stockholders’ ownership interest will be diluted by the exercise of any of these outstanding stock options, restricted stock units or warrants.
We will in the future grant stock options and other awards to certain current or future officers, directors, employees and consultants of the Company under additional plans or individual agreements. The grant and exercise of these awards, as applicable, will have the effect of diluting our stockholders’ ownership interests in the Company.
Further, we may need to raise additional funds in the future to finance our operations and/or acquire complementary businesses. If we obtain capital in future offerings, the value of the price per share of our stockholders’ common stock could be reduced. In addition, if we issue additional equity securities in a future offering and certain stockholders do not participate in such offering, there will effectively be dilution in their percentage ownership interest in the Company.
We may also issue additional equity securities in connection with other types of transactions, including shares issued as part of the purchase price for acquisitions of assets or other companies from time to time, in connection with strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or as incentives to management or other providers of resources to the Company. Such additional issuances are likely to have the same dilutive effect.
We do not currently intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future and our credit facility and indenture restrict our ability to pay such cash dividends.
To date, the Company has not paid any dividends on its capital stock. The Company does not anticipate making any cash dividends or other distributions to the stockholders in the immediate or foreseeable future, and any future decision to make such distributions will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company, referred to herein as the “Board of Directors” or the “Board” and, in any event, will be dependent upon the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. Further, our existing credit facility and the indenture restrict our ability to pay cash dividends, and any future financing agreements may also restrict our ability to pay any type of dividends. As a result, you may not receive any return on an investment in your shares of common stock unless you sell such shares for a price greater than that which you paid. In addition, to the extent we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on investment will only occur if and to the extent our stock price appreciates.
Your ability to influence corporate matters may be limited because a small number of stockholders beneficially own a substantial amount of our common stock and have substantial control over us.
As of May 1, 2014, our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively beneficially own approximately 32.0% of our common stock. As a result, these stockholders may be able to exert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of the Company or its assets, and may have interests that are different from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to your interests. In addition, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of preventing, discouraging or deferring a change of control, which could depress the market price of our common stock.
Transactions engaged in by our principal stockholders, our officers or directors involving our common stock may have an adverse effect on the price of our stock.
As described above, as of May 1, 2014, our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively beneficially own approximately 32.0% of our common stock. Subsequent sales of our shares by these stockholders could have the effect of lowering our stock price. The perceived risk associated with the possible sale of a large number of shares by these stockholders, or the adoption of significant short positions by hedge funds or other significant investors, could cause some of our stockholders to sell their stock, thus causing the price of our stock to decline. In addition, actual or anticipated downward pressure on our stock price due to actual or anticipated sales of stock by our directors or officers could cause other institutions or individuals to engage in short sales of our common stock, which may further cause the price of our stock to decline.
From time to time our directors and executive officers may sell shares of our common stock on the open market. These sales will be publicly disclosed in filings made with the SEC. In the future, our directors and executive officers may sell a significant number of shares for a variety of reasons unrelated to the performance of our business. Our stockholders may perceive these sales as a reflection on management’s view of the business and result in some stockholders selling their shares of our common stock. These sales could cause the price of our stock to drop.
Certain provisions of our corporate governing documents and Delaware law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult.
Provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and Delaware law impose various procedural and other requirements, which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or for stockholders to effect certain corporate actions. For example, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of unissued series of preferred stock, without any vote or action by our stockholders. Therefore, the Board of Directors can authorize and issue shares of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting or other rights of holders of our common stock. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for a staggered or classified board of directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered three-year terms. These rights may have the effect of delaying or deterring a change of control of the Company. These provisions could limit the price that certain investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
All of the shares of Common Stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following is a summary of our capital stock and certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which are incorporated by reference into this registration statement, or of which this prospectus is a part, and by the provisions of applicable law.
General
We currently have authorized capital of 300,000,000 shares, of which 250,000,000 shares have been designated as common stock, par value $0.0001 per shares, which we refer to as Common Stock, and 50,000,000 shares as preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, which we refer to as Preferred Stock.
As of May 1, 2014, there were 38,535,539 shares of Common Stock outstanding held of record by approximately 52 stockholders and no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share of stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Subject to rights that may be fixed for holders of preferred stock, when and if any Preferred Stock is issued, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for dividend payments. Our existing credit facility imposes restrictions on our ability to declare dividends with respect to our Common Stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution, winding up or merger, consolidation, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of our assets, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to share in our assets that are remaining after payment or provision for payment of all of our debts. Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our Common Stock.
Preferred Stock
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in one or more series and to determine the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of each such series, any or all of which may be greater than or senior to the rights of the Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of Common Stock and reduce the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation, and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.
Outstanding Warrants
Before our initial public offering in 2011 and in connection with our fundraising activities at that time, we issued warrants to Broadband Capital Management LLC and certain of its employees to purchase an aggregate of 447,763 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.63 per share. Each warrant has an initial term of five years from the issue date. The warrant holders are entitled to antidilution rights in certain events, including, but not limited to: (i) stock dividends, splits or combinations; (ii) reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of the Company; (iii) the issuance of stock options and/or convertible securities; and (iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the exercise price then in effect. The Common Stock underlying the warrants, when issued upon exercise of a warrant, will be fully paid and non-assessable.
The warrants may be exercised at any time upon delivery to us, prior to the expiration date of the warrant, of the exercise form found as an exhibit to the warrant completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the warrant is being exercised. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis at the sole option of the holder of the warrant.
As of May 1, 2014, there were 86,650 warrants outstanding.
Anti-Takeover Provisions Under Our Charter and Bylaws and Delaware Law
Certain provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquiror outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire us because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Board of Directors
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the Board of Directors are classified with approximately one-third elected each year. The number of directors is fixed from time to time by a majority of the total number of directors which we would have at the time such number is fixed if there were no vacancies. The directors are divided into three classes, designated class I, class II and class III. Each class consists, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board. The initial division of the Board into classes was made by the decision of a majority of the entire Board. The term of the initial class I directors terminated on the date of the 2011 annual meeting of stockholders; the term of initial class II directors terminated on the date of the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders; and the term of initial class III directors terminated on the date of the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders, successors to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting will be elected for a three-year term. In addition, if the number of directors is changed, any increase or decrease will be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in such class will hold office for a term that will coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. The Board of Directors has the sole authority to fill any vacancy on the Board, whether such vacancy occurs as a result of an increase in the number of directors or otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed only for cause at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast thereon. Any amendment to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described in this paragraph requires the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the votes entitled to be cast on such matter.
Undesignated Preferred Stock
As discussed above, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences as may be fixed by the Board of Directors that could impede the success of any takeover attempt. This and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of us.
Limitations on the Ability of Stockholders to Act by Written Consent or Call a Special Meeting
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that our stockholders may not act by written consent. The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to amend our bylaws or remove directors without holding a meeting of our stockholders called in accordance with our bylaws.
In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors. A stockholder may not call a special meeting, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for holders controlling a majority of our capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.
Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Our amended and restated bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors. These provisions may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquiror from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquiror’s own slate of directors or from otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
Board Vacancies Filled Only by Majority of Directors
Vacancies and newly created seats on our Board of Directors may be filled only by a majority of the number of then-authorized members of our Board of Directors. Only our Board of Directors may determine the number of directors on our Board. The inability of stockholders to determine the number of directors or to fill vacancies or newly created seats on our Board of Directors makes it more difficult to change the composition of our Board of Directors, but these provisions promote a continuity of existing management.
No Cumulative Voting
The Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the DGCL, provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not expressly provide for cumulative voting.
Directors Removed Only for Cause
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for the removal of directors only for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Amendment of Charter Provisions
The amendment of certain of the above provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws requires approval by holders of at least two-thirds of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute
We are subject to DGCL Section 203, which regulates corporate acquisitions. DGCL Section 203 prevents certain Delaware corporations, including those whose securities are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with any interested stockholder for three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder. For purposes of DGCL Section 203, a business combination includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the interested stockholder and the sale of 10% or more of our assets. In general, DGCL Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as any entity or person owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person. A Delaware corporation may opt out of DGCL Section 203 with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from amendments approved by the holders of at least a majority of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of the provisions of DGCL Section 203. This provision has an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our Board of Directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.
The provisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of Common Stock held by the selling stockholders to permit the resale of these shares by the selling stockholders from time to time after the date of this prospectus.
The selling stockholders and successors-in-interest may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. The shares of Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions:
● |
on the NYSE, on which the shares of Common Stock are listed; |
● |
in the over-the-counter market; |
● |
otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market; |
● |
through the writing of options; |
● |
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; |
● |
a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
● |
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).
The selling stockholders may from time to time enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus short pursuant to this prospectus and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also engage in derivatives transactions relating to the shares of Common Stock and may sell or deliver shares in connection with those transactions subject to applicable law.
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 commission 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. At the time a particular offering of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, 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 and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and 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 covered by this prospectus may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states such 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 shelf 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as 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 shares of Common Stock.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of Common Stock. We may indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, or the selling stockholders may be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related Registration Rights Agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase and maintain insurance with respect to liability incurred by or arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers, whether or not the corporation could indemnify such person against liability under section 145 (subject to certain limitations). The DGCL further provides that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporation’s bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders, or otherwise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation (or an amendment thereto) to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of the director’s fiduciary duty of care, provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) arising under Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Article VI of our bylaws indemnifies the directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Such indemnification extends to each person, heir, executor or administrator of such person, who was or is a party, threatened to be made a party to, or involved in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, including civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason that such person is or was a director or officer of the company, or is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise. Such indemnification is a contract right that includes the right to be paid by the company expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any such suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted by law. Such indemnification also extends to employees and agents of the company by action of our board of directors and to the extent and effect as determined by the board of directors and authorized by the DGCL.
We maintain liability insurance for our officers and directors. Further, we have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our current directors and officers to give these directors and officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and to provide additional procedural protections. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any director, officer, employee or agent as to which indemnification will be required or permitted under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.
Item 16. Exhibits
The list of exhibits in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act 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, 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 percent 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;
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) of this section 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 Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this 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 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), (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.
(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 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.
(c) 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 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 counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Atlanta, State of Georgia, on the 12th of May, 2014.

Re: |
ExamWorks Group, Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-3 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to ExamWorks Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended or supplemented (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2014 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement relates to the proposed registration by the Company of up to 3,560,717 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Selling Stockholder Shares”) for resale by certain of the Company’s selling stockholders.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, resolutions, corporate records, certificates and other instruments of the Company as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed. In addition, we have reviewed certificates of public officials, statutes, records and such other instruments and documents and have made such investigations of law as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.
In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed, without independent investigation, (i) the genuineness of all signatures and the authority of all persons or entities signing all documents examined by us, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies and (iii) the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. With regard to certain factual matters, we have relied, without independent investigation or verification, upon, and assumed the accuracy and completeness of, statements and representations of representatives of the Company.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Selling Stockholder Shares, all of which are issued and outstanding as of the date of this opinion, have been duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and are nonassessable.
We render this opinion only with respect to, and express no opinion herein concerning the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the Delaware General Corporation Law, including the applicable provisions of the Delaware Constitution and reported judicial decisions relating thereto.
This opinion letter deals only with the specified legal issues expressly addressed herein, and you should not infer any opinion that is not explicitly addressed herein from any matter stated in this letter.

This opinion is rendered to you as of the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to advise you or any other person hereafter with regard to any change after the date hereof in the circumstances or the law that may bear on the matters set forth herein, even though the change may affect the legal analysis, a legal conclusion or other matters in this letter.
Very truly yours,
