Our Business

 

References in this section to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Integrity Applications, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

Incorporated in Delaware in May 2010, we are a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of non-invasive glucose monitoring devices for use by people with diabetes and pre-diabetics. On July 15, 2010, we completed a reverse triangular merger with Integrity Israel and Integrity Acquisition Corp. Ltd., an Israeli corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, pursuant to which Integrity Acquisition Corp. Ltd. merged with and into Integrity Israel and all of the stockholders and option holders of Integrity Israel became entitled to receive shares and options in us in exchange for their shares and options in Integrity Israel (the “Reorganization”). Following the Reorganization, the former equity holders of Integrity Israel were entitled to the same proportional ownership in us as they had in Integrity Israel prior to the Reorganization. As a result of the Reorganization, Integrity Israel became a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. We operate primarily through Integrity Israel.

 

Integrity Israel was founded in 2001 with a mission to develop, produce and market non-invasive glucose monitors for home use by diabetics. We have developed a non-invasive glucose monitor, the GlucoTrack® glucose monitoring device, which is designed to help people with diabetes and pre-diabetics obtain glucose level readings without the pain, inconvenience, cost and difficulty of conventional (invasive) spot finger stick devices. The first generation GlucoTrack® (“GlucoTrack 1.0”) utilizes a patented combination of ultrasound, electromagnetic and thermal technologies to obtain glucose measurements in less than one minute via a small sensor that is clipped onto one’s earlobe and connected to a small, handheld control and display unit, all without drawing blood or interstitial fluid.

 

We are currently developing our own companion applications and a cloud-based solution, as well as conducting ongoing discussions with potential partners, to offer an effective platform to provide real time, data driven personalized tools to effectively help a user manage their diabetes. In addition to being a critical and effective management tool for the end user, we believe that third parties such as insurers, pharmaceutical companies and advertisers would be willing to pay for the de-identified data that we will obtain through our platform, and that this is an opportunity for us to develop an additional revenue source.

 

After a short calibration process of approximately thirty minutes and consisting of three invasive reference measurements, GlucoTrack 1.0 can be used to non-invasively measure glucose levels for six months before a user is required to repeat the calibration process. The entire calibration process can be performed by the user themselves without the need for a trained calibrator. We believe the simple-to-perform calibration, as well as the infrequency of the required re-calibration are significant advantages over our competition.

 

GlucoTrack 1.0 has received the initial Conformité Européene (CE) Mark (indicating the conformity of the Company’s product with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area) approval for the GlucoTrack® 1.0 from DEKRA Certification B.V., our European notified body (the “Notified Body”), which is an entity that has been accredited by a member state of the European Union (“EU”) to assess whether a product to be placed on the market meets certain preordained standards. The intended use for GlucoTrack 1.0 received by the Notified Body is for both those with Type 2 diabetes as well as those suffering from pre-diabetes.

 

Receipt of the CE Mark allows us to market and sell GlucoTrack® 1.0 glucose monitoring device in EU member countries that have adopted the European Medical Device Directive (the “MDD”) without being subject to additional national regulations with regard to demonstration of performance and safety. However, although the MDD is applicable throughout the EU, in practice it does not ensure uniform regulation throughout the EU. Accordingly, member countries may apply and enforce the MDD’s terms differently, and certain EU member countries may request or require performance and/or safety data in addition to the MDD’s requirements from time to time, on a case-by-case basis. The CE Mark also permits the sale in countries that have an MDD Mutual Recognition Agreement with the EU. This would include some countries in South East Asia as well as in Latin America, opening new potential markets for Integrity on a global basis.

 

Safety and quality are non-negotiables in the medical devices industry. Regulatory requirements are increasingly stringent throughout every step of a product’s life cycle, including service and delivery. More and more, organizations in the industry are expected to demonstrate their quality management processes and ensure best practice in everything they do. ISO 13485, is an internationally agreed standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system specific to the medical devices industry. On February 19, 2016, we received an extension of our ISO 13485:2003 certificate and Annex II certification from the EU. The ISO 13485:2003 certification signifies that we have met the standards required for company-wide implementation of device quality management system(s). The scope of the certification is design, development, manufacture and service of non-invasive glucose monitoring systems for home use. Annex II also addresses quality control systems. The certification allows us to self-certify certain modifications and changes and simplifies some of the reporting to and review by the relevant Notified Body. This can shorten the CE-mark review process of future GlucoTrack® enhancements or revisions, including software updates and other improvements of the device that do not affect the intended use and/or safety performance. The ISO 13485:2003 and Annex II certifications enable us to potentially reduce the time to market for product sales on new, enhanced or modified GlucoTrack® devices.

 

Clinical trials conducted in Germany by Pfutzner Science & Health Institute, GmbH, headed by Prof. Dr. Andreas Pfutzner, on subjects with Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, as well as at Soroka University Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, Israel, demonstrated favorable results. Results from the trials show 99.7% of the study data points within the clinically accepted A and B zones of the Consensus Error Grid (which is a new tool for evaluating the accuracy of a blood glucose meter) (Type 2), 99.3% of the study data points were within the clinically accepted A and B zones of the Clarke Error Grid (which is a tool used to quantify the clinical accuracy of blood glucose estimates generated by meters as compared to a reference value), 17.0% Mean Absolute Relative Difference, and 12.9% Median Absolute Relative Difference. In addition, the German trial concluded that the data confirms the performance of the GlucoTrack® among its intended users, including pre-diabetic patients.

In addition, the Company has demonstrated (1) the GlucoTrack® algorithm, which compensates for the tissue-lagging effect relative to blood glucose changes post-meal intake, significantly improves GlucoTrack® accuracy at different post-prandial (post- meal) states, and equalizes accuracy for pre- and post-meal glucose readings; (2) GlucoTrack® clinical accuracy as measured by Consensus Error Grid (CEG) showed 100% of the pre-prandial readings in the A+B zones, and 98.2% of the post-prandial readings in the A+B zones; (3) GlucoTrack® 1.0 demonstrates consistent glucose measurement repeatability between different GlucoTrack® devices and on each earlobe of the same subject; (4) the repeatability of different GlucoTrack® devices is similar at all tested glucose ranges and post-prandial time periods; and (5) the GlucoTrack® mean precision absolute relative difference (PARD) of 8.2% is equivalent or better than the independently reported PARD values of commercially available continuous glucose monitoring systems.

 

The Company conducted a study that evaluated GlucoTracker accuracy in 172 adults with type 2 diabetes who were prescribed one or more medications for major medical conditions associated with diabetes and presented key findings of this study at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes Congress (EASD) in Lisbon, Portugal. The experiment stratified participants into five medication groups, focusing on anti-cholesterolemia, anti-hypertension, anti-thrombotic, and anti-diabetic (prolonged duration and short and mixed duration) medications. The study demonstrated that the use of these common concomitant medications in diabetes had no effect on the performance of GlucoTrack®.

 

In 2018, the Company presented at the 11th International Conference on Advanced Technologies & Treatments for Diabetes (ATTD 2018) in Vienna, Austria. The Company presented data on the performance of a non-invasive glucose monitoring device (GlucoTrack®) with regard to accuracy and precision. Device accuracy data was presented for 37 people with type 2 diabetes using the consensus error grid analysis for type 2 diabetes and measuring the median absolute relative difference (ARD). The results showed that 99.6% of 257 measurements were in zones A and B of the Consensus error grid, with 90.3% of the measurements in zone A, the mean and median ARD were 17.2% and 12.9%, respectively, and at various glucose levels, mean PARD ranged from 7.7%-8.7%. Data was also presented on sensor to sensor precision in 20 people with type 2 diabetes where ~19 simultaneous measurements using two GlucoTrack® devices, one on each earlobe. The results show that GlucoTrack® is highly accurate with sensor-to-sensor precision is comparable to that of CGMs (GlucoTrack: 8.1%, Dexcom G6: 9.0%, Freestyle Navigator: 9.6%).

 

The Company had begun the implementation of a proof of concept pilot program for GlucoTrack 1.0 in the Netherlands, a country chosen based on the relatively smaller size of the marketplace to allow us to be able to rapidly assess our performance and make adjustments as necessary. We have been working closely with our exclusive distributor in the Netherlands, Medireva B.V., and have accomplished product and disease area training across the organization and segmentation of the local target audiences including key opinion leaders, treating physicians, and diabetes nurses. The most important aspect of our pilot program in the Netherlands are the discussions held with many health insurance companies. Approval of full or partial reimbursement by the health insurance companies will be a key factor in enabling us to achieve significant sales volume. The Company has made progress with several of these companies on initial programs with GlucoTrack 1.0 as an important step towards reimbursement approval.

 

Talent development, recruiting and organizational health have been a critical focus of the Company over the last 12 months. A number of high-quality individuals have joined the Company, each of whom bring extensive experience in their respective fields. We have bolstered our Senior Management with the recruitment of Erez Ben-Zvi, a highly experienced MedTech development professional who joined us last year as Vice President of Product, and recently took on the additional role of General Manager, and Shalom Shushan, a seasoned executive who joined us as Chief Technology Officer. We added two new independent directors; Paul V. Goode PhD, who has a decorated career developing innovative medical technologies, including at DexCom and MiniMed, and Luis J. Malavé, formerly of Insulet Corp, Medtronic and MiniMed. Several highly talented and accomplished executives joined the Company as senior advisors to the Board. These include Yair Briman, the former CEO of Philips Healthcare Informatics, Daniel McCaffrey MBA MA, a world-renowned behavioral scientist and digital health expert currently at Samsung Health and formerly of Dexcom, Dr. Alexander Raykhman PhD, a measurement and artificial intelligence expert and Dr. David C. Klonoff, world renowned endocrinologist and diabetes technology thought leader. We intend to continue to invest in our talent and to expand and strengthen all areas within the company.

 

Recently, the Company performed a top-down analysis of the GlucoTrack 1.0 model to identify areas of potential enhancement, as it relates to the platform, integrations, sensor technologies, accuracy as well as costs to manufacture. The result of this comprehensive review is an accelerated development plan for GlucoTrack 2.0. GlucoTrack 2.0 will be a completely wireless and rechargeable earclip to be paired with a smartphone, with more capabilities and features, increased accuracy, significantly greater margins for the Company and lower cost to the end-user as compared to GlucoTrack 1.0.

 

As previously reported, the Company has made significant progress towards receiving insurance reimbursement in the Netherlands. With the new accelerated development plan for GlucoTrack 2.0, with all of the expected advantages over GlucoTrack 1.0, it made clear to the Company that introducing GlucoTrack 2.0 rather than the GlucoTrack 1.0 would serve the diabetes market and the Company more effectively. We are currently working with our European partners on the roadmap for distribution of GlucoTrack 2.0 when completed and ready to market.

 

In addition to the European markets, the Company is now focused on the U.S. market as well, including building out its U.S. go-to-market strategy and planning the required FDA clinical trials and field testing to support its entrance into the market. The Company is currently in the process of identifying clinical sites in the U.S., interviewing Contract Research Organizations (CRO’s), and forming its Scientific and Medical Advisory Boards. We intend to build out a team to support the U.S. activities, while continuing our technology development in our R&D facility located in Israel.

 

We may be at risk as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Risks that could affect our business include the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the demand for our products; actions by governments, businesses and individuals taken in response to the pandemic; the length of time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of its reoccurrence; the timing required to develop effective treatments and a vaccine in the event of future outbreaks; the eventual impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below for a discussion of forward-looking statements and the significance of such statements in the context of this prospectus.

 

We have a history of operating losses, and there is no assurance that we will generate material revenues or become profitable in the near future.

 

We are a medical device company with a limited operating history. We are not profitable and have incurred losses since our inception. To date we have not generated material revenue from the sale of products, and we do not anticipate that we will report operating income in the near future. Our initial product, GlucoTrack® 1.0, has not been approved for marketing in the United States and may not be sold or marketed without FDA clearance or approval in the United States. Our next generation product, GlucoTrack® 2.0 is currently under development. While our GlucoTrack® 1.0 received CE Mark approval in 2013, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate any material revenues from sales of such model in the EU or any other jurisdictions. We continue to incur research and development and selling, marketing and general and administrative expenses related to our operations, development and commercialization of our first product. Our operating losses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $93.4 million as of December 31, 2020. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and these losses will likely increase as we develop and prepare to commercialize GlucoTrack® 2.0. If we are not successful in developing, manufacturing and distributing GlucoTrack® 2.0, or if GlucoTrack® 2.0 does not achieve market acceptance, we may never become profitable. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Any cash that might be available for payment of dividends will be used to expand our business. Payments of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our financial condition, results of operation and capital requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant to our Board of Directors.

 

Economic crises and market instability may materially and adversely affect the demand for our products, as well as our ability to obtain credit or secure funds through sales of our stock, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and ability to fund our operations.

 

Economic crises may reduce the demand for new and innovative medical devices, resulting in delayed market acceptance of our products, if and when they are approved. Such a delay could have a material adverse impact on our business, expected cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, we have funded our operations to date primarily through private sales of securities, including common stock and other securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock. Economic turmoil and instability in the world’s equity and credit markets and in the unstable world may materially adversely affect our ability to sell additional securities and/or borrow cash. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional working capital on acceptable terms or at all, and any failure to do so may materially adversely affect our ability to continue operations.

GlucoTrack® may not be approved for sale in the United States or other (non-CE Mark) jurisdictions.

 

We will likely be required to undertake significant clinical trials to demonstrate to the FDA that GlucoTrack® is either safe and effective for its intended use or is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to an existing, lawfully marketed non-Section 515 premarket approval (PMA) device (refer to “Management Discussion and Analysis - Government Regulatory”). We may also be required to undertake clinical trials by non-U.S. regulatory agencies in non-CE Mark jurisdictions. Clinical trials are expensive and uncertain processes that may take years to complete. Failure can occur at any point in the process and early positive results do not ensure that the entire clinical trial will be successful. Product candidates in clinical trials may fail to show desired efficacy and safety traits despite early promising results. A number of companies in the medical device industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after their product candidates demonstrated promising results at earlier points.

 

Positive results from the limited pre-clinical trials and safety and performance clinical trial that we have conducted should not be relied upon as evidence that later-stage or large-scale clinical trials will succeed. These trials involved limited patient populations and there is no assurance that the experimental protocol or protocols, as the case may be, used in these informal trials will be methodologically similar to ones submitted to the FDA or any other regulatory body for its approval. Because of the sample size, possible variation in methodology, differences in exclusion/inclusion criteria, or differences in endpoints, the results of these pre-clinical trials may not be indicative of future results. We will likely be required to demonstrate through well-controlled clinical trials that GlucoTrack® or future product candidates, if any, are safe and effective for their intended uses. In the event that the FDA deems GlucoTrack® to be a Class II device, which we do not believe is likely at this point, then we would be required to demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to a device lawfully marketed either through a premarket notification or prior to May 28, 1976.

 

Additionally, although we have received our CE Mark approval for GlucoTrack® 1.0, EU member countries may request or require additional performance and/or safety data from time to time, on a case-by-case basis. GlucoTrack® 2.0 is currently under development.

 

Further, GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, may not be cleared or approved, as the case may be, even if the clinical data are satisfactory and support, in our view, its or their clearance or approval. The FDA or other non-U.S. regulatory authorities may disagree with our trial design or interpretation of the clinical data. In addition, any of these regulatory authorities may change requirements for the clearance or approval of a product candidate even after reviewing and providing comment on a protocol for a pivotal clinical trial that has the potential to result in FDA approval. In addition, any of these regulatory authorities may also clear or approve a product candidate for fewer or more limited uses than we request or may grant clearance or approval contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing clinical trials. In addition, the FDA or other non-regulatory authorities may not approve the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any.

 

We are highly dependent on the success of our next generation product candidate, GlucoTrack® 2.0, and cannot give any assurance that it will receive regulatory approval or clearance or be successfully commercialized.

 

We are highly dependent on the success of our next generation product candidate, GlucoTrack® model 2.0. We cannot give any assurance that the FDA will permit us to clinically test the device, nor can we give any assurance that the clinical trials will be successful or that GlucoTrack® 2.0 will receive regulatory clearance or approval or be successfully commercialized, for a number of reasons, including, without limitation, the potential introduction by our competitors of more clinically-effective or cost-effective alternatives, failure in our sales and marketing efforts, or the failure to obtain positive coverage determinations or reimbursement. Any failure to obtain approval to conduct clinical trials, favorable clinical data, clearance or approval of or to successfully commercialize GlucoTrack® 2.0 would have a material adverse effect on our business.

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective, safer or less expensive than GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, our commercial opportunities will be adversely affected.

 

The life sciences industry is highly competitive and we face significant competition from many medical device companies that are researching and marketing products designed to address the needs of persons suffering from diabetes. We are currently developing medical devices that will compete with other medical devices that currently exist or are being developed. Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial, manufacturing, marketing and product development resources than we do. Large medical device companies, in particular, have extensive experience in clinical testing and in obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals for medical devices. These companies also have significantly greater research and marketing capabilities than us. Some of the medical device companies that we expect to compete with include Roche; LifeScan, Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson; the MediSense and TheraSense divisions of Abbott Laboratories; Ascensia, a spin off from Bayer Corporation; Dexcom, Inc. and Medtronic, Inc. In addition, many other universities and private and public research institutions are or may become active in research involving blood glucose measurement devices.

 

We believe that our ability to successfully compete will depend on, among other things:

 

  our ability to have partners manufacture and sell commercial quantities of any approved products to the market;
     
  acceptance of product candidates by physicians and other health care providers;
     
  the results of our clinical trials;
     
  our ability to recruit and enroll patients for our clinical trials;
     
  the efficacy, safety, performance and reliability of our product candidates;
     
  the speed at which we develop product candidates;
     
  our ability to obtain prompt and favorable IRB review and approval at each of our clinical sites;
     
  our ability to commercialize and market any of our product candidates that may receive regulatory clearance or approval;
     
  our ability to design and successfully execute appropriate clinical trials;
     
  the timing and scope of regulatory clearances or approvals;
     
  appropriate coverage and adequate levels of reimbursement under private and governmental health insurance plans, including Medicare; and
     
  our ability to protect intellectual property rights related to our products.

 

If our competitors market products that are more effective, safer, easier to use or less expensive than GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, or that reach the market sooner than GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, we may not achieve commercial success. In addition, the medical device industry is characterized by rapid technological change. It may be difficult for us to stay abreast of the rapid changes in each technology. If we fail to stay at the forefront of technological change, we may be unable to compete effectively. Technological advances or products developed by our competitors may render our technologies or product candidates obsolete or less competitive.

Our product development activities could be delayed or stopped.

 

We do not know whether our future clinical trials will begin on time, or at all, and whether ongoing and/or future clinical trials will be completed on schedule, or at all.

 

The commencement of future clinical trials could be substantially delayed or prevented by several factors, including:

 

  the failure to obtain sufficient funding to pay for all necessary clinical trials;
     
  limited number of, and competition for, suitable patients that meet the protocol’s inclusion criteria and do not meet any of the exclusion criteria;
     
  limited number of, and competition for, suitable sites to conduct the clinical trials, and delay or failure to obtain FDA approval, if necessary, to commence a clinical trial;
     
  delay or failure to obtain sufficient supplies of the product candidate for clinical trials;
     
  requirements to provide the medical device required in clinical trials at cost, which may require significant expenditures that we are unable or unwilling to make;
     
  delay or failure to reach agreement on acceptable clinical trial agreement terms or clinical trial protocols with prospective sites or investigators; and
     
  delay or failure to obtain IRB approval or renewal of such approval to conduct a clinical trial at a prospective or accruing site, respectively.

 

The completion of clinical trials in connection with our application for FDA approval could also be substantially delayed or prevented by several factors, including:

 

  slower than expected rates of patient recruitment and enrollment;
     
  failure of patients to complete the clinical trial;
     
  unforeseen safety issues;
     
  lack of efficacy evidenced during clinical trials;
     
  termination of clinical trials by one or more clinical trial sites;
     
  inability or unwillingness of patients or medical investigators to follow clinical trial protocols; and
     
  inability to monitor patients adequately during or after treatment.

 

Our clinical trials may be suspended or terminated at any time by the FDA, other regulatory authorities, the IRB for any given site, or us. Any failure or significant delay in completing clinical trials for GlucoTrack® or future product candidates, if any, could materially harm our financial results and the commercial prospects for our product candidates.

The regulatory approval process is expensive, time-consuming and uncertain and may prevent us from obtaining approvals for the commercialization of GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any.

 

The research, testing, manufacturing, labeling, approval, selling, marketing and distribution of medical devices are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities, which regulations differ from country to country. We are not permitted to market our product candidates in the United States until we receive a clearance letter under the 510(k)-premarket notification process or approval of a Section 515 premarket approval, from the FDA, depending on the nature of the device. We have not submitted an application or premarket notification for or received marketing clearance or approval for any of our product candidates. Obtaining approval of any premarket approval can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process. While the FDA normally reviews, and clears a premarket notification in three months, there is no guarantee that our products will qualify for this more expeditious regulatory process, which is reserved for Class I and II devices, nor is there any assurance that, even if a device is reviewed under the 510(k)-premarket notification process, the FDA will review it expeditiously or determine that the device is substantially equivalent to a lawfully marketed non-premarket approval device. If the FDA fails to make this finding, then we cannot market the device. In lieu of acting on a premarket notification, the FDA may seek additional information or additional data which would further delay our ability to market the product. In addition, failure to comply with FDA, non-U.S. regulatory authorities or other applicable U.S. and non-U.S. regulatory requirements may, either before or after product clearance or approval, if any, subject us to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including:

 

  restrictions on the products, manufacturers or manufacturing process;
     
  adverse inspectional observations (Form 483), warning letters or non-warning letters incorporating inspectional observations, i.e., so-called “untitled letter”;
     
  civil and criminal penalties;
     
  injunctions;
     
  suspension or withdrawal of regulatory clearances or approvals;
     
  product seizures, detentions or import bans;
     
  voluntary or mandatory product recalls and publicity requirements;
     
  total or partial suspension of production;
     
  imposition of restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; and
     
  refusal to clear or approve pending applications or premarket notifications.

 

Regulatory approval of a PMA or PMA supplement or clearance pursuant to a 510(k)-premarket notification is not guaranteed, and the approval or clearance process, as the case may be, is expensive and may, especially in the case of the PMA, take several years. The FDA also has substantial discretion in the medical device clearance or approval processes. Despite the time and expense exerted, failure can occur at any stage and we could encounter problems that cause us to abandon clinical trials or to repeat or perform additional pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. The number of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials that will be required for FDA clearance or approval varies depending on the medical device candidate, the disease or condition that the medical device candidate is designed to address, and the regulations applicable to any particular medical device candidate. The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a medical device candidate for many reasons, including:

 

  a medical device candidate may not be deemed safe or effective, in the case of a PMA;
     
  a medical device candidate may not be deemed to be substantially equivalent to a lawfully marketed non-premarket approval device in the case of a 510(k)-premarket notification;
     
  FDA officials may not find the data from the clinical trials sufficient;
     
  the FDA might not approve our third-party manufacturer’s processes or facilities; or
     
  the FDA may change its clearance or approval policies or adopt new regulations.

Further, while we have received CE Mark approval for GlucoTrack® 1.0, the MDD requires only minimum harmonization. In practice, uniform regulation throughout the EU is not ensured. Rather, member countries may apply and enforce the MDD’s terms differently, and certain EU member countries may request or require performance and/or safety data additional to the MDD’s requirements from time to time, on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, we cannot predict whether we will be able to successfully commercialize GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, in the EU.

 

Failure to recruit and enroll patients for clinical trials may cause the development of our product candidates to be delayed.

 

We may encounter delays if we are unable to recruit and enroll and retain enough patients to complete clinical trials. Patient enrollment depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites and the eligibility criteria for the trial. Delays in patient enrollment are not unusual. Any such delays in planned patient enrollment may result in increased costs, which could harm our ability to develop products.

 

The terms of clearances or approvals and ongoing regulation of our products may limit how we manufacture and market our product candidates, which could materially impair our ability to generate anticipated revenues.

 

Once regulatory clearance or approval has been granted, the cleared or approved product and its manufacturer are subject to continual review. Any cleared or approved product may only be promoted for its indicated uses. In addition, if the FDA or other non-U.S. regulatory authorities clear or approve GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, the labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, storage, advertising and promotion for the product will be subject to extensive regulatory requirements. We, and the manufacturers of our products, if other than us, also will be required to comply with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, which includes requirements relating to quality control and quality assurance, as well as the corresponding maintenance of records and documentation. Moreover, device manufacturers are required to report adverse events by filing Medical Device Reports with the FDA, which are publicly available. Further, regulatory agencies must approve our manufacturing facilities before they can be used to manufacture products, and these facilities are subject to ongoing regulatory inspection. If we fail to comply with the regulatory requirements of the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities, or if previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes are discovered, we could be subject to administrative or judicially imposed sanctions, including:

 

  restrictions on the products, manufacturers or manufacturing process;
     
  adverse inspectional observations (Form 483), warning letters, or non-warning letters incorporating inspectional observations;
     
  civil or criminal penalties or fines;
     
  injunctions;
     
  product seizures, detentions or import bans;
     
  voluntary or mandatory product recalls and publicity requirements;
     
  suspension or withdrawal of regulatory clearances or approvals;
     
  total or partial suspension of production;
     
  imposition of restrictions on operations, including costly new manufacturing requirements; and
     
  refusal to clear or approve pending applications or premarket notifications.

In addition, the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities, including the EU and each of the EU member countries individually, may change their policies and additional regulations may be enacted that could prevent or delay regulatory clearance or approval of our product candidates. We cannot predict the likelihood, nature or extent of government regulation that may arise from future legislation or administrative action, either in the United States or abroad. If we are not able to maintain regulatory compliance, we will likely not be permitted to market future product candidates and may not achieve or sustain profitability.

 

Even if we receive regulatory clearance or approval to market GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, the market may not be receptive to our products.

 

Even if GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, obtain regulatory clearance or approval, resulting products may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, health care payors or the medical community. We believe that the degree of market acceptance will depend on a number of factors, including:

 

  timing of market introduction of competitive products;
     
  safety and efficacy of our product;
     
  prevalence and severity of any side effects;
     
  potential advantages or disadvantages over alternative treatments;
     
  strength of marketing and distribution support;
     
  price of our product candidates, both in absolute terms and relative to alternative treatments; and
     
  availability of coverage and reimbursement from government and other third-party payors.

 

If the GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, fail to achieve market acceptance, we may not be able to generate significant revenue or achieve or sustain profitability.

 

The coverage and reimbursement status of newly cleared or approved medical devices is uncertain, and failure to obtain adequate coverage and adequate reimbursement could limit our ability to market GlucoTrack® or future product candidates, if any, and may inhibit our ability to generate revenue from GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, that may be cleared or approved.

 

There is significant uncertainty related to the third-party coverage and reimbursement of newly cleared or approved medical devices. The commercial success of GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, in both domestic and international markets will depend in part on the availability of coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors, including government payors, such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs, managed care organizations and other third-party payors. Government and other third-party payors are increasingly attempting to contain health care costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for new products and, as a result, they may not cover or provide adequate payment for GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any. These payors may conclude that our products are not as safe or effective as existing devices or that the overall cost of using one of our devices exceeds the overall cost of the competing device, and third-party payors may not approve GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, for coverage and adequate reimbursement. Furthermore, deficit reduction and austerity measures in the United States and abroad may put further pressure on governments to limit coverage of, and reimbursement for, our products. The failure to obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement for GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any, or health care cost containment initiatives that limit or restrict reimbursement for such products may reduce any future product revenue.

 

We may not obtain insurance coverage to adequately cover all significant risk exposures.

 

We will be exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products we provide. We currently maintain premises insurance and there can be no assurance that we will acquire or maintain insurance for certain risks, that the amount of our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, or that we will not be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of business. It is also not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. The failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage on terms favorable to us, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

11
 

 

If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities.

 

We face a potential risk of product liability as a result of any of the products that we offer for sale. For example, we may be sued if any product we sell allegedly causes injury or is found to be otherwise unsuitable during product testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability and a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities. Even successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 

  decreased demand for products that we may offer for sale;
     
  injury to our reputation;
     
  costs to defend the related litigation;
     
  a diversion of management’s time and our resources;
     
  substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients;
     
  product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions; and
     
  a decline in our stock price.

 

Our inability to obtain and retain sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products we develop. We currently maintain product liability insurance up to $5,000 thousand per claim and in the aggregate. Although we have product liability coverage, we may have to pay amounts awarded by a court or negotiated in a settlement that exceed our coverage limitations or that are not covered by our insurance, and we may not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient capital to pay such amounts.

 

If we fail to attract and retain key management and scientific personnel, we may be unable to successfully develop or commercialize GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any.

 

We will need to expand and effectively manage our managerial, operational, financial, development and other resources in order to successfully pursue our research, development and commercialization efforts for GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any. Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management and pre-clinical and clinical personnel. The loss of the services of any of our senior management could delay or prevent the development or commercialization of GlucoTrack® or our future product candidates, if any. At present, we do not have key man insurance policies with respect to any of our employees. We will need to hire additional personnel as we continue to expand our research and development activities and build a sales and marketing function.

 

We may not be able to attract or retain qualified management and scientific personnel in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel among medical device and other businesses. If we are not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we may experience constraints that will significantly impede the achievement of our research and development objectives, our ability to raise additional capital and our ability to implement our business strategy. In particular, if we lose any members of our senior management team, we may not be able to find suitable replacements in a timely fashion or at all and our business may be harmed as a result.

 

12
 

 

As we continue to evolve from a company primarily involved in development to a company also involved in commercialization, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth and expanding our operations successfully.

 

We anticipate that, as our operations expand, we will need to expand our manufacturing, marketing and sales capabilities by contracting with third parties. Maintaining these relationships and managing our future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of our management. We must be able to manage our development efforts effectively; manage our clinical trials effectively; hire, train and integrate additional management, development, administrative and sales and marketing personnel; improve managerial, development, operational and finance systems; and expand our facilities, all of which may impose a strain on our administrative and operational infrastructure.

 

We rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our product.

 

We do not own or operate manufacturing facilities for clinical or commercial production of GlucoTrack®, other than a prototype lab. We have no experience in medical device manufacturing and lack the resources and the capability to manufacture the GlucoTrack® on a commercial scale. To date we have manufactured GlucoTrack® with a third-party manufacturer in Israel.

 

If our manufacturing partners are unable to produce our products in the amounts, timing or pricing that we require, we may not be able to establish a contract and obtain a sufficient alternative supply from another supplier on a timely basis and in the quantities or pricing we require. We expect to depend on third-party contract manufacturers for the foreseeable future.

 

GlucoTrack® does, and our future product candidates, if any, likely will require precise, high quality manufacturing. Any of our contract manufacturers will be subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and other non-U.S. regulatory authorities to ensure strict compliance with quality system regulations, including current good manufacturing practices and other applicable government regulations and corresponding standards. If our contract manufacturers fail to achieve and maintain high manufacturing standards in compliance with quality system regulations, we may experience manufacturing errors resulting in patient injury or death, product recalls or withdrawals, delays or interruptions of production or failures in product testing or delivery, delay or prevention of filing or approval of marketing applications for our products, cost overruns or other problems that could seriously harm our business.

 

Any performance failure on the part of our contract manufacturers could delay clinical development or regulatory clearance or approval of our product candidates or commercialization of our future product candidates, depriving us of potential product revenue and resulting in additional losses. In addition, our dependence on a third-party for manufacturing may adversely affect our future profit margins. Our ability to replace an existing manufacturer may be difficult because the number of potential manufacturers is limited and the FDA must approve any replacement manufacturer before it can begin manufacturing our product candidates. Such approval would require additional non-clinical testing and compliance inspections. It may be difficult or impossible for us to identify and engage a replacement manufacturer on acceptable terms in a timely manner, or at all.

 

13
 

 

We are dependent on third-party distributors to market and sell our products.

 

We have limited internal marketing, sales or distribution capabilities and currently we do not intend to develop extensive internal marketing, sales or distribution capabilities in the future. Rather, we intend to utilize third-party distributors to market our products, and have entered into exclusive distribution agreements with respect to certain territories. There is no assurance that third party distributors will achieve acceptable levels of sales or that, if any of our existing arrangements expire or terminate, we will be able to replace any distributors on terms advantageous to us, or at all. Further, there is no assurance that we will be able to expand our distribution network by adding additional distributors. If third party distributors cease to promote our products, or if we are unable to make acceptable arrangements with distributors or sales personnel in other markets, our business prospects, operating results or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Independent clinical investigators and contract research organizations that we engage to conduct our clinical trials may not be diligent, careful or timely.

 

We will depend on independent clinical investigators to conduct our clinical trials. Contract research organizations may also assist us in the collection and analysis of data. These investigators and contract research organizations will not be our employees and we will not be able to control, other than by contract, the amount of resources, including time that they devote to products that we develop. If independent investigators fail to devote sufficient resources to the clinical trials, or if their performance is substandard, it will delay the approval or clearance and commercialization of any products that we develop. Further, the FDA requires that we comply with standards, commonly referred to as good clinical practice, for conducting, recording and reporting clinical trials to assure that data and reported results are credible and accurate and that the rights, integrity and confidentiality of trial subjects are protected. If our independent clinical investigators and contract research organizations fail to comply with good clinical practice, the results of our clinical trials could be called into question and the clinical development of our product candidates could be delayed. Failure of clinical investigators or contract research organizations to meet their obligations to us or comply with federal regulations could adversely affect the clinical development of our product candidates and harm our business.

 

If we are unable to obtain and enforce patent protection for our products, our business could be materially harmed.

 

Our success depends, among other things, on our ability to protect proprietary methods and technologies that we develop under the patent and other intellectual property laws of the United States and other countries, so that we can prevent others from unlawfully using our inventions and proprietary information. However, we may not hold proprietary rights to some patents required for us to commercialize proposed products. For this and other reasons, we may be unable to secure desired patent rights, thereby losing desired exclusivity. Although we do not believe that we need any licenses for GlucoTrack®, we may need to obtain licenses in the future for other products or in certain circumstances, such as if one of our patents were declared invalid in the future. If such licenses are not available to us on acceptable terms, we will not be able to market the affected products or conduct the desired activities, unless we successfully challenge the validity, enforceability or infringement of the third-party patent or otherwise circumvent the third-party patent.

 

Our strategy depends on our ability to rapidly identify and seek patent protection for our discoveries. The process of obtaining patent protection is expensive and time-consuming. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may be able to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary.

 

The issuance of a patent does not guarantee that it is valid or enforceable. Any patents we have obtained, or which we may obtain in the future, may be challenged, invalidated, unenforceable or circumvented. Moreover, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) may commence interference proceedings involving our patents or patent applications. Any challenge to, finding of unenforceability or invalidation or circumvention of our patents or patent applications would be costly, would require significant time and attention of our management and could have a material adverse effect on our business. In addition, court decisions may introduce uncertainty in the enforceability or scope of patents owned by medical device companies.

 

Our pending patent applications may not result in issued patents. The patent position of medical device companies, including us, is generally uncertain and involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards that the USPTO and its foreign counterparts use to grant patents are not always applied predictably or uniformly and can change. There is also no uniform, worldwide policy regarding the subject matter and scope of claims granted or allowable in medical device patents. Accordingly, we do not know the degree of future protection for our proprietary rights or the breadth of claims that will be allowed in any patents issued to us or to others. The legal systems of certain countries do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents, and the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, the enforceability or scope of our patents in the United States or in foreign countries cannot be predicted with certainty, and, as a result, any patents that we own may not provide sufficient protection against competitors. We may not be able to obtain or maintain patent protection for our pending patent applications or those we may file in the future.

 

14
 

 

We cannot assure you that any patents that will issue, that may issue or that may be licensed to us will be enforceable or valid or will not expire prior to the commercialization of our product candidates, thus allowing others to more effectively compete with us. Therefore, any patents that we own may not adequately protect our product candidates or our future products.

 

If we are unable to protect the confidentiality of our proprietary information and know-how, the value of our technology and products could be adversely affected.

 

In addition to patent protection, we also rely on other proprietary rights, including protection of trade secrets, know-how and confidential and proprietary information. To maintain the confidentiality of trade secrets and proprietary information, we will seek to enter into confidentiality and non- disclosure agreements with our employees, consultants and collaborators upon the commencement of their relationships with us. These agreements generally require that all confidential information developed by the individual or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual’s relationship with us be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties. Our agreements with employees also generally provide and will generally provide that any inventions conceived by the individual in the course of rendering services to us shall be our exclusive property. However, we may not obtain these agreements in all circumstances, and individuals with whom we have these agreements may not comply with their terms. In the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets or proprietary information, these agreements, even if obtained, may not provide meaningful protection, particularly for trade secrets or other confidential information. To the extent that our employees, consultants or contractors use technology or know-how owned by third parties in their work for us, disputes may arise between us and those third parties as to the rights in related inventions.

 

Adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information. The disclosure of trade secrets would impair our competitive position and may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Some jurisdictions may require us to grant licenses to third parties. Such compulsory licenses could be extended to include some of our product candidates, which may limit potential revenue opportunities.

 

Many countries, including certain countries in Europe, have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties. In addition, most countries limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may be limited to monetary relief and may be unable to enjoin infringement, which could materially diminish the value of the patent. Compulsory licensing of life-saving products is also becoming increasingly popular in developing countries, either through direct legislation or international initiatives. Such compulsory licenses could be extended to include some of our product candidates, which may limit our potential revenue opportunities.

 

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of third parties.

 

Other entities may have or obtain patents or proprietary rights that could limit our ability to manufacture, use, sell, offer for sale or import products or impair our competitive position. In addition, to the extent that a third party develops new technology that covers our products, we may be required to obtain licenses to that technology, which licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. If licenses are not available on acceptable terms, we will not be able to market the affected products or conduct the desired activities unless we successfully challenge the validity, enforceability or infringement of the third-party patent or circumvent the third-party patent, which would be costly and would require significant time and attention of our management. Third parties may have or obtain valid and enforceable patents or proprietary rights that could block us from developing products using our technology. Our failure to obtain a license to any technology that we require may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we become involved in patent litigation or other proceedings related to a determination of rights, we could incur substantial costs and expenses, substantial liability for damages or be required to stop our product development and commercialization efforts.

 

Third parties may sue us for infringing their patent rights. Likewise, we may need to resort to litigation to enforce a patent issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of proprietary rights of others. In addition, a third party may claim that we have improperly obtained or used our confidential or proprietary information. The cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, and the litigation would divert management’s efforts. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue our operations.

 

If any parties successfully claim that our creation or use of proprietary technologies infringes upon their intellectual property rights, we might be forced to pay damages, potentially including treble damages, if we are found to have willfully infringed on such parties’ patent rights. In addition to any damages we might have to pay, a court could require us to stop the infringing activity or obtain a license. Any license required under any patent may not be made available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, such licenses are likely to be non-exclusive and, therefore, our competitors may have access to the same technology. If we fail to obtain a required license and are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to effectively market some of our technology and products, which could limit our ability to generate revenues or achieve profitability and possibly prevent us from generating revenue sufficient to sustain operations.

 

Failure to obtain additional regulatory approvals outside the United States will prevent or limit us from marketing our product candidates abroad.

 

We intend to market our product candidates in non-U.S. markets. In order to market product candidates in the EU and many other non-U.S. jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals. In December 2012, we submitted our technical file to the Notified Body in connection with our application to obtain CE Mark approval for GlucoTrack® 1.0. On June 4, 2013, we received CE Mark approval for the GlucoTrack® 1.0 from the Notified Body. Receipt of the CE Mark allows us to market and sell the GlucoTrack® 1.0 in EU member countries that have adopted the MDD without being subject to additional national regulations with regard to demonstration of performance and safety. The CE Mark also permits the sale in countries that have an MDD Mutual Recognition Agreement with the EU. However, member countries may apply and enforce the MDD’s terms differently, and certain EU member countries may request or require that we provide performance and/or safety data additional to the MDD’s requirements from time to time, on a case-by-case basis, in order to be cleared to market and sale GlucoTrack® in such countries. Receipt of FDA approval does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in countries, and approval by one or more non-U.S. regulatory authorities (including receipt of the CE Mark) does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or by the FDA. The non-U.S. regulatory approval process may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval or clearance. We may not obtain additional non-U.S. regulatory approvals on a timely basis, if at all. We may not be able to file for additional non-U.S. regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize our product candidates in any market.

 

Non-U.S. governments often impose strict price controls, which may adversely affect our future profitability.

 

We intend to seek approval to market GlucoTrack® and our future product candidates, if any, in both the U.S. and in non-U.S. jurisdictions. If we obtain approval in one or more non-U.S. jurisdictions, we will be subject to rules and regulations in those jurisdictions relating to our products. In some countries, particularly countries of the EU, each of which has developed its own rules and regulations, pricing may be subject to governmental control under certain circumstances. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take considerable time after the receipt of marketing approval for a medical device candidate. Each of the EU member states has its own unique legal system and thus it is difficult to predict the particular requirements to which we may be subject. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the cost-effectiveness of our product to other available products. If reimbursement of our product candidates is unavailable or limited in scope or amount, or if pricing is set at unsatisfactory levels, we may be unable to achieve or sustain profitability.

Our business may become subject to economic, political, regulatory and other risks associated with international operations, which could harm our business.

 

Our business is subject to risks associated with conducting business internationally. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

 

  difficulties in compliance with non-U.S. laws and regulations;
     
  changes in non-U.S. regulations and customs;
     
  changes in non-U.S. currency exchange rates and currency controls;
     
  changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic environment;
     
  trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements or other restrictive actions by U.S. or non-U.S. governments;
     
  negative consequences from changes in tax laws; and
     
  difficulties associated with staffing and managing foreign operations, including differing labor relations.

 

We may not be able to enforce covenants not-to-compete under current Israeli law, which might result in added competition for our products.

 

We have non-competition agreements or provisions with all of our employees and executive officers, all of which are governed by Israeli law. These agreements or provisions prohibit our employees from competing with us or working for our competitors, generally during, and for up to nine months after termination of, their employment with us. However, Israeli courts are reluctant to enforce non-compete undertakings of former employees and tend, if at all, to enforce those provisions for only relatively brief periods of time or in restricted geographical areas. In addition, Israeli courts typically require the presence of additional circumstances, such as a demonstration of an employer’s legitimate interest which was damaged; breach of fiduciary duties, loyalty and acting not in good faith; a payment of a special consideration for employee’s non-compete obligation; material concern for disclosing employer’s trade secrets; or a demonstration that an employee has unique value to the employer specific to that employer’s business, before enforcing a non-competition undertaking against such employee.

 

The funding that we received through the Office of the Chief Scientist (the “OCS”) for research and development activities restricts our ability to manufacture products or to transfer technology outside of Israel.

 

On March 4, 2004, the OCS agreed to provide us with a grant of 420 thousand New Israeli Shekels (“NIS”), or approximately $93 thousand at an exchange rate of 4.502 NIS/dollar (the exchange rate in effect on such date), for our plan to develop a non-invasive blood glucose monitor (the “development plan”). This grant constituted 60% of our research and development budget for the development plan at that time. Due to our acceptance of this grant, we are subject to the provisions of the Israeli Law for the Encouragement of Industrial Research and Development, 1984 (the “R&D Law”). Among other things, the R&D Law restricts our ability to sell or transfer rights in technology or know-how developed with OCS funding or transfer any Means of Control (as defined in the R&D Law) of us to non-Israeli entities. The Industrial Research and Development Committee at the OCS (the “research committee”) may, under special circumstances, approve the transfer outside of Israel of rights in technology or know-how developed with OCS funding subject to certain conditions, including the condition that certain payments be made to the OCS. Additionally, we may not manufacture products developed with OCS funding outside of Israel without the approval of the research committee. The restrictions regarding the sale or transfer of technology or manufacturing rights out of Israel could have a material adverse effect on our ability to enter into strategic alliances or enter into merger or acquisition transactions in the future that provide for the sale or transfer of our technology or manufacturing rights.

 

17
 

 

We are subject to certain employee severance obligations, which may result in an increase in our expenditures.

 

Under Israeli law, employers are required to make severance payments to dismissed employees and employees leaving employment in certain other circumstances, on the basis of the latest monthly salary for each year of service. This obligation results in an increase in our expenses, including accrued expenses. Integrity Israel currently makes monthly deposits to insurance policies and severance pay funds in order to provide for this liability.

 

The Company’s and its Israeli subsidiary’s agreements with all of their Israeli employees are in accordance with Section 14 of the Israeli Severance Pay Law -1963 (“Section 14”). Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any other future severance payments in respect of those employees. Deposits under Section 14 are not recorded as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet.

 

We may be at risk for delay in product development and other economic repercussions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We may be at risk as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. Risks that could affect our business include the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on the demand for our products; actions by governments, businesses and individuals taken in response to the pandemic; the length of time of the COVID-19 pandemic and the possibility of its reoccurrence; the timing required to develop effective treatments and a vaccine in the event of future outbreaks; the eventual impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to the pandemic on global and regional economies; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

 

There is a limited trading market for our common stock, which may make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

 

Although our stock is quoted on the OTCQB, few trades in our stock have taken place, to-date, and an active trading market in our securities may not develop, or if developed, may not be sustained. If no active market is ever developed for our Common Stock, it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in our Company at the time you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider reasonable or at all. In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all. In the absence of an active public trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate an investment in our Common Stock. As a result, investors: (i) may be precluded from transferring their shares of Common Stock; (ii) may have to hold their shares of Common Stock for an indefinite period of time; and (iii) must be able to bear the complete economic risk of losing their investment in us. In the event a market should develop for the Common Stock, there can be no assurance that the market price will equal or exceed the price paid for such share by any of our stockholders.

 

There may be limitations on the effectiveness of our internal controls, and a failure of our control systems to prevent error or fraud may materially harm our company.

 

Proper systems of internal controls over financial accounting and disclosure are critical to the operation of a public company. If we are unable to effectively establish such systems, this would leave us without the ability to reliably assimilate and compile financial information about our company and significantly impair our ability to prevent error and detect fraud, all of which would have a negative impact on our company from many perspectives.

 

Moreover, we do not expect that disclosure controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Failure of our control systems to prevent error or fraud could materially adversely impact us.

 

18
 

 

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.

 

The market price of the common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

 

  the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;
     
  developments concerning intellectual property rights and regulatory approvals;
     
  variations in our and our competitors’ results of operations;
     
  changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if the common stock is covered by analysts;
     
  developments in the medical device industry;
     
  the results of product liability or intellectual property lawsuits;
     
  future issuances of common stock or other securities;
     
  the addition or departure of key personnel;
     
  announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, investments or strategic alliances; and
     
  general market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our operating performance.

 

Further, in recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for medical device companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued or renewed market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of the common stock. Price volatility of our common stock might be significant if the trading volume of the common stock is low, which often occurs with respect to newly traded securities on the OTCQB.

 

Because our common stock is a “penny stock,” it may be more difficult for investors to sell shares of the common stock, and the market price of the common stock may be adversely affected.

 

Our common stock may be a penny stock if, among other things, the stock price is below $5.00 per share, it is not listed on a national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other national securities exchange or it has not met certain net tangible asset or average revenue requirements. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized risk- disclosure document prepared by the SEC. This document provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny-stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and obtain the purchaser’s written agreement to the purchase. Broker-dealers must also provide customers that hold penny stock in their accounts with such broker-dealer a monthly statement containing price and market information relating to the penny stock. If a penny stock is sold to an investor in violation of the penny stock rules, the investor may be able to cancel its purchase and get its money back.

 

If applicable, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for investors to sell their shares of common stock. Because of the rules and restrictions applicable to a penny stock, there is less trading in penny stocks and the market price of the common stock may be adversely affected. Also, many brokers choose not to participate in penny stock transactions. Accordingly, investors may not always be able to resell their shares of common stock publicly at times and prices that they feel are appropriate.

Compliance with changing regulations concerning corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses.

 

There have been changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new regulations promulgated by the SEC and rules promulgated by the national securities exchanges. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. As a result, our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Our directors, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified directors and executive officers, which could harm our business. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, we could be subject to liability under applicable laws or our reputation may be harmed.

 

Because a certain portion of our expenses is incurred in currencies other than the NIS, our results of operations may be harmed by currency fluctuations and inflation.

 

The functional currency of Integrity Israel is the NIS, and we pay a substantial portion of our expenses in NIS. However, we expect a portion of our future revenues to be denominated in U.S. dollars or in Euros. As a result, we will be exposed to the currency fluctuation risks relating to the recording of our revenues in NIS. For example, if the NIS strengthens against either the U.S. dollar or the Euro, our reported expenses in NIS may be higher than anticipated. The Israeli rate of inflation has not offset or compounded the effects caused by fluctuations between the NIS and the U.S. dollar or the Euro. To date, we have not engaged in hedging transactions. Although the Israeli rate of inflation has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition to date, we may, in the future, decide to enter into currency hedging transactions to decrease the risk of financial exposure from fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies mentioned above in relation to the NIS. These measures, however, may not adequately protect us from material adverse effects.

 

The adoption of the “Conflict Minerals” regulations may adversely affect the manufacturing of our current and future products.

 

Regulatory requirements regarding the use of “conflict minerals” could affect the sourcing and availability of the raw materials used by our third-party manufacturers. We may be subject to costs associated with the new regulations, including for the diligence pertaining to the presence of any conflict minerals used in our products and the cost of remediation and other changes to products, processes, or sources of supply as a consequence of such verification activities. The impact of the regulations may result in a limited pool of suppliers who provide conflict free minerals, and we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain products in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. We may face reputational challenges with our customers and other stakeholders if we are unable to sufficiently verify the origins for the metals used in the products we sell. As a result, we may not be able to obtain the materials necessary to manufacture our products, which could force us to cease production or search for alternative supply sources, possibly at a higher cost. Such disruptions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we anticipate that the net proceeds from the sale of the securities that we may offer under this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement will be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, engaging in acquisitions or other business combinations or investments, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures.

Additional information relating to the use of net proceeds from the sale of securities covered by this prospectus will be set forth in prospectus supplements relating to specific offerings.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

General

 

We are authorized to issue two classes of stock. The total number of shares of stock that we are authorized to issue is five hundred ten million (510,000,000) shares, consisting of five hundred million (500,000,000) shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value and ten million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value.

 

Common Stock

 

On September 13, 2021, there were 15,444,738 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at our annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Subject to the prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and none are contemplated in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that all earnings that may be generated from our operations will be used to finance our growth.

 

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights pertaining to the common stock and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. The absence of preemptive rights could result in a dilution of the interest of the existing stockholders should additional shares of common stock be issued. In addition, the rights of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. See “Risk Factors” for a further description of risks related to the common stock.

 

All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Our common stock is traded on the OTCQB under the symbol “IGAP.”

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of the date of this prospectus, the Company had zero (0) shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the authority under our certificate of incorporation to issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of Common Stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Charter and Bylaws

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Blank Check Preferred Stock. Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the authority under our certificate of incorporation to issue preferred stock with rights superior to the rights of the holders of Common Stock. As a result, preferred stock could be issued quickly and easily, could impair the rights of holders of Common Stock and could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change of control or make removal of management more difficult.

 

Election of Directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that a majority of directors then in office may fill any vacancy occurring on the board of directors, even though less than a quorum may then be in office. These provisions may discourage a third-party from voting to remove incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by that removal with its own nominees.

 

Stockholder Action. Our certificate of incorporation provides that stockholders may act at meetings of stockholders or by written consent in lieu of a stockholders’ meeting.

 

Stockholder Meetings. Our bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders is such business as was specified in the notice of the meeting. These provisions may discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer, even if it acquired a majority of our outstanding voting stock, because the person or entity could only take action at a duly called stockholders’ meeting relating to the business specified in the notice of meeting and not by written consent.

 

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals. Our bylaws provide that a stockholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of this intention in writing. To be timely, a stockholder must deliver or mail the notice and we must receive the notice at our principal executive offices not less than five days prior to the date our directors determine for proposals to be received. The bylaws also include a similar requirement for making director nominations and specify requirements as to the form and content of the stockholder’s notice. These provisions could delay stockholder actions that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding stock until the next stockholders’ meeting.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are a Delaware corporation subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Under Section 203, some business combinations between a Delaware corporation whose stock generally is publicly-traded or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders and an interested stockholder are prohibited for a three-year period following the date that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

 

  the corporation has elected in its certificate of incorporation not to be governed by Section 203;
     
  the board of directors of the corporation approved the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder before the stockholder became an interested stockholder;
     
  upon consummation of the transaction which 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 commencement of the transaction, excluding voting stock owned by directors who are also officers or held in employee benefit plans in which the employees do not have a confidential right to tender stock held by the plan in a tender or exchange offer; or
     
  the board of directors approves the business combination and holders of two-thirds of the voting stock which the interested stockholder did not own authorize the business combination at a meeting.

 

We have not made an election in our certificate of incorporation to opt out of Section 203. In addition to the above exceptions to Section 203, the three-year prohibition does not apply to some business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of an extraordinary transaction involving the corporation and a person who was not an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors. For the purposes of Section 203, a business combination generally includes mergers or consolidations, transactions involving the assets or stock of the corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries and transactions which increase an interested stockholder’s percentage ownership of stock. Also, an interested stockholder generally includes a stockholder who becomes beneficial owner of 15% or more of a Delaware corporation’s voting stock, together with the affiliates or associates of that stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities we offer thereunder may differ from the terms we describe below.

 

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) between us and a trustee named in the prospectus supplement (the “Trustee”). We may issue debt securities either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and, unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series.

 

The following summary of selected provisions of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, which provisions are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should review the form of Indenture, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The terms of the debt securities include those stated under the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used in the summary and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Indenture.

 

24
 

 

General

 

The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities we may issue, and we may issue debt securities up to an aggregate principal amount as we may authorize from time to time. The debt securities will be our unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. Our secured debt, if any, will be effectively senior to the debt securities to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no debt securities issued and outstanding. The debt securities will be exclusively our obligations and not of our subsidiaries, and, therefore, the debt securities will be structurally subordinate to the debt and liabilities of our subsidiaries. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any debt securities being offered, including:

 

  the title;
     
  any limit upon the aggregate principal amount;
     
  the date or dates on which the principal is payable;
     
  the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which the debt securities shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate shall be determined;
     
  the date or dates from which interest shall accrue;
     
  the date or dates on which interest shall be payable;
     
  the record dates for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable;
     
  the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of such extension;
     
  the place or places where the principal and any interest shall be payable;
     
  the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which debt securities may be redeemed;
     
  our obligation, if any, to redeem, purchase or repay the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or otherwise or at the option of a holder thereof;
     
  if applicable, the price or prices at which and the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part;
     
  if other than denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities of the series shall be issuable;
     
  the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of such principal amount which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or provable in bankruptcy;
     
  whether the debt securities are issuable as global securities and, in such case, the identity for the depositary;
     
  any deletion from, modification of or addition to the Events of Default (as defined below) or covenants;
     
  any provisions granting special rights to holders when a specified event occurs;

 

25
 

 

  whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts on the debt securities held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted;
     
  any special tax implications of the debt securities;
     
  any trustees, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars or any other agents with respect to the debt securities;
     
  any guarantor or co-issuer;
     
  any special interest premium or other premium;
     
  whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into common stock or other of our equity securities and the terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange shall be effected; and
     
  the currency in which payments shall be made, if other than U.S. dollars.

 

Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions

 

The Indenture provides that we may not merge or consolidate with any other person or persons (whether or not affiliated with us), and we may not sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our property or assets to any other person or persons (whether or not affiliated with us), unless the following conditions are satisfied:

 

  either (a) the transaction is a merger or consolidation, and we are the surviving entity; or (b) the successor person (or the person which acquires by sale, conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our property or assets) is organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, all of our obligations under the debt securities and the Indenture;
     
  immediately after giving effect to the transaction and treating our obligations in connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been incurred as of the time of such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture; and
     
  an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel are delivered to the Trustee to the effect that the conditions set forth above have been satisfied.

 

The restrictions in the second and third bullets above shall not be applicable to:

 

  our merger or consolidation with an affiliate of ours if our Board of Directors determines in good faith that the purpose of such transaction is principally to change our state of incorporation or convert our form of organization to another form; or
     
  our merger with or into a single one of our direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the NBCL.

 

In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other conveyance, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, us under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, we will be released from the obligation to pay principal and interest on the debt securities and all obligations under the Indenture.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, if we consummate a Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), the newly formed holding company (New HoldCo, as defined below) shall be treated as the “successor person,” and the Holding Company Reorganization shall constitute the transfer to New HoldCo of substantially all of our assets; as such, we will be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, and New HoldCo will be the sole obligor on the debt securities.

 

26
 

 

“Holding Company Reorganization” shall mean our merger with and into our newly formed wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary (“MergerCo”), all of the equity interests of which shall be held by our newly formed wholly-owned, direct subsidiary (“New HoldCo”), all of the equity interest of which shall be initially be held by us. Such merger shall be effected pursuant to Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the NBCL and shall not require the vote of our stockholders. Each of our shares of common stock shall be converted into a right to receive one share of New HoldCo common stock, with identical terms and rights as our common stock immediately prior to such conversion.

 

Reports to Holders

 

The Indenture provides that any document or report that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be furnished to the Trustee within 15 days after we file such document or report with the SEC.

 

Events of Default

 

The following events are defined in the Indenture as “Events of Default” with respect to debt securities:

 

(1) the failure to pay interest on any debt securities when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 60 days;

 

(2) the failure to pay the principal (or premium, if any) of any debt securities, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise;

 

(3) a default in the performance, or breach, of our obligations under the “Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions” covenant described above;

 

(4) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class;

 

(5) (a) a failure to make any payment at maturity on any of our Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to any of our Subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time and continuance of such failure to pay after any applicable grace period, or (b) a default on any of our Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to any of our Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time, without such Indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above; provided, however, that if any failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (a) or (b) ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default under the Indenture will be deemed cured; or

 

(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency affecting us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries.

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above), shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all such debt securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to us and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all debt securities shall automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

27
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to one or more series of debt securities as described above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class, may rescind and cancel such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

 

(1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

 

(2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

 

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

 

(4) we have paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

 

(5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (6) of the description of Events of Default above, the Trustee shall have received an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of each series affected, voting together as a single class, may waive any existing default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt securities of a series.

 

The Holders may not enforce the Indenture except as provided in the Indenture and under the TIA. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of debt securities affected that is then outstanding, voting together as a single class, will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Nothing in the Indenture shall impair the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or with respect to the debt securities.

 

We will be required to provide a certificate to the Trustee, from our principal executive, financial or accounting officer or our treasurer, promptly upon any such officer obtaining knowledge of any default or Event of Default (provided that such officers shall provide such certification at least annually whether or not they know of any default or Event of Default) that has occurred and, if applicable, describe such default or Event of Default and the status thereof.

 

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporator and Stockholders

 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or affiliate of us or any of our Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall have any liability for any of our or our Subsidiaries’ obligations under the debt securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the debt securities, by accepting such security, waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the debt securities.

 

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

 

We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding debt securities of a series (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that we shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding debt securities of a series, except for:

 

(1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities when such payments are due;

 

28
 

 

(2) our obligations with respect to the debt securities concerning issuing temporary debt securities, registration of debt securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

 

(3) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and our obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

 

In addition, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and, thereafter, any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization and insolvency events) described under “—Events of Default” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities.

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a series:

 

(1) we must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

 

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, as a result of an Internal Revenue Service ruling or a change in applicable federal income tax law, to the effect that the Holders of the applicable debt securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(4) no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the applicable debt securities then-outstanding on the date of such deposit (other than a default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowings);

 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Indenture (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowings) or any other material agreement or instrument to which we or any of our Subsidiaries is a party or by which we or any our Subsidiaries is bound;

 

(6) we must deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

 

(7) certain other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

 

29
 

 

Satisfaction and Discharge

 

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the applicable series of the debt securities, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities of a series, when:

 

(1) either:

 

(A) all of the applicable series of the debt securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities which have been replaced or paid and debt securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by us and thereafter repaid to us or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(B) all of the applicable series of debt securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in our name and at our expense, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the applicable series of debt securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of debt securities to the date of deposit, together with irrevocable instructions from us directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at the applicable maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

 

(2) we have paid all other sums then due and payable under the Indenture; and

 

(3) we have delivered to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with.

 

Modification of the Indenture

 

From time to time, we and the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, may amend the Indenture or the applicable series of debt securities for certain specified purposes, including:

 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

 

(2) to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

 

(3) to comply with the provisions described under “Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance” in the Indenture in the case of a merger or consolidation;

 

(4) to maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA;

 

(5) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee;

 

(6) to conform the text of the Indenture or the terms of the debt securities to any provision of this “Description of Debt Securities” or other description of the debt securities contained in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offer and sale of such debt securities;

 

(7) to establish the form or terms of the debt securities of any series as permitted by the terms of the Indenture;

 

(8) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company of our obligations under the Indenture, in each case in compliance with the provisions thereof; or

 

(9) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the debt securities (including to secure the debt securities, add guarantees with respect thereto, to add to our covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the debt securities in any material respect.

 

30
 

 

In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an opinion of counsel. Other modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all then-outstanding debt securities affected by such modification or amendment, voting together as a single class, except that, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, no amendment may:

 

(1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of debt securities of any series at maturity whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

 

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any debt securities;

 

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any debt securities, or change the date on which any debt securities may be subject to redemption or repurchase or reduce the redemption price therefor;

 

(4) make any debt securities payable in currency other than that stated in the debt securities or change the place of payment of the debt securities from that stated in the debt securities or in the Indenture;

 

(5) make any change in provisions of the Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s debt securities on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of debt securities affected to waive defaults or Events of Default;

 

(6) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions; or

 

(7) make any change to or modify the ranking of the debt securities that would adversely affect the Holders.

 

The Trustee

 

The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

 

The Indenture and the provisions of the TIA contain certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of us, to obtain payments of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. Subject to the TIA, the Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

 

Unclaimed Funds

 

All funds deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal, interest, premium or additional amounts in respect of the debt securities that remain unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such amount became due and payable will be repaid to us upon our request. Thereafter, any right of any Holder to such funds shall be enforceable only against us, and the Trustee and paying agents will have no liability therefor.

 

Governing Law

 

The Indenture and the debt securities for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

31
 

 

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock or preferred stock or of debt securities in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered trust under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants being offered, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

  The offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;
     
  The currency for which the warrants may be purchased;
     
  If applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;
     
  In the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
     
  In the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant and the price at, and currency in which, this principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon such exercise;
     
  If applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
     
  The effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreements and the warrants;
     
  The terms of our rights to redeem the warrants;
     
  Any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;
     
  The dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire;
     
  The manner in which the warrant agreements and warrants may be modified;
     
  A discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;
     
  The terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and
     
  Any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

 

The terms of the warrants that we offer may or may not have the same material terms as our currently outstanding warrants.

 

32
 

 

 

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including:

 

  in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any; or
     
  in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After such time on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. Additional information about the exercise of the warrants will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States applicable therein.

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued will contain additional important terms and provisions of the units being offered, and may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

 

The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any applicable prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, in addition to the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions, and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

 

Any applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

 

  the material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
     
  any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and
     
  any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.

 

33
 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus in any one or more of the following ways from time to time:

 

  On any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our securities may be listed at the time of sale, including the OTCQB;
     
  Directly to investors in privately negotiated transactions or through a specific bidding, auction, other process or otherwise;
     
  To investors through agents, or directly to agents;
     
  To or through brokers or dealers, including through ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers and through purchases by a broker-dealer as a principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
     
  Through underwriters, broker-dealers, agents, in privately negotiated transactions or any combination of these methods;
     
  To the public through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters;
     
  To one or more underwriters acting alone for resale to investors or to the public;
     
  Through short sales;
     
  Through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
     
  Through a combination of any such methods of sale; or
     
  By any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time, in one or more transactions, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time or sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices, as determined at the time of sale, or at prices determined as the applicable prospectus supplement specifies. The securities may be sold through a rights offering, forward contracts or similar arrangements. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties.

 

The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering and the method of distribution and will identify any firms acting as underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, including:

 

  The name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;
     
  The purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us from the sale;
     
  Any arrangements under which the underwriters have the option to purchase additional securities from us;
     
  Any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents;
     
  Any public offering price;
     
  Any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; or
     
  Any securities exchange or market on which the securities offered by the prospectus supplement may be listed.

 

Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and also may receive commissions from securities purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

 

34
 

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement information regarding any underwriting discounts or other compensation that we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the securities offering, and any discounts, concessions or commissions that underwriters allow to dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the securities distribution may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

There is currently no market for any of the offered securities other than the common stock, which is listed on the OTCQB. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on the OTCQB. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

 

In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. Underwriters may engage in over-allotment. If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

 

We may also sell the securities offered by this prospectus in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of our common stock. In addition, we may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the offer of securities, or their affiliates or associates, may have engaged or engage in transactions with and perform services for, us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they may have received or receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the legality of the issuance of the shares offered in this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Jolie Kahn, Esq., New York, New York. If legal matters in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel to underwriters, dealers or agents, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement related to such offering.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A corporation may, in advance of the final action of any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any officer, director, employee or agent in defending such action, provided that the director or officer undertakes to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. A corporation may indemnify such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided is not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may be entitled under any corporation’s by-law, agreement, vote or otherwise.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of our company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee, trustee or agent of one of our subsidiaries or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to hereinafter as an agent), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Additionally, our bylaws provide that we will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of our company to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that he is or was an agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

 

II-1
 

 

Our certificate of incorporation provides that none of its directors shall be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (a) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (d) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. To the extent the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of one of our directors, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided by our certificate of incorporation, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL.

 

We have obtained and maintains insurance policies insuring our directors and officers and the directors and officers of our subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on our behalf, may also pay amounts for which we have granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

 

Additionally, we have entered into indemnification agreements with all of our directors and officers to provide them with the maximum indemnification allowed under our bylaws and applicable law, including indemnification for all judgments and expenses incurred as the result of any lawsuit in which such person is named as a defendant by reason of being a director, officer or employee of our company, to the extent indemnification is permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

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

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows:

 

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

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange 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 the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

II-3
 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability 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 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 of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Exchange Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

 

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

 

(e) The undersigned registrant hereby 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 (the “Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
