PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information that is presented in greater detail elsewhere, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus. It does not contain all of the information that may be important to you and your investment decision. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the matters set forth under the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes and other information that we incorporate by reference herein, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Unless the context indicates otherwise, references in this prospectus to “Atlas Lithium Corporation,” the “Company,” the “Registrant,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer, collectively, to Atlas Lithium Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

Company Overview

 

Atlas Lithium Corporation is a U.S. mineral exploration and mining company with lithium projects and properties in other critical battery metals to power the green energy revolution - nickel, rare earths, graphite, and titanium. Our current focus is on developing our hard-rock lithium project located in Minas Gerais state in Brazil at a well-known, premier pegmatitic district in Brazil. We intend to produce and sell lithium concentrate, a key ingredient for the battery supply chain. Lithium is essential for batteries in electric vehicles.

 

We are in the initial stages of planning to develop and own a lithium concentration facility capable of producing up to 300,000 tons of lithium concentrate annually. However, there can be no assurance that such a facility may ultimately come to fruition or, if developed, that the production capacity will meet our expectations.

 

All of our mineral projects and properties are located in Brazil and our mineral rights portfolio for battery minerals includes approximately 75,542 acres (306 km2) for lithium in 61 mineral rights, 137,883 acres for nickel (558 km2) in 37 mineral rights, 30,009 acres (121 km2) for rare earths in seven mineral rights, 22,050 acres (89 km2) for titanium in seven mineral rights, and 13,766 acres (56 km2) for graphite in three mineral rights. We believe that we hold the largest portfolio of exploration properties for battery minerals in Brazil, a premier and well-established mining jurisdiction.

 

We are primarily focused on advancing and developing our hard-rock lithium project located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, where some of our high-potential mineral rights are adjacent to or near large lithium deposits that belong to Sigma Lithium Corporation (Nasdaq: SGML). Our Minas Gerais Lithium Project (“MGLP”) is our largest project and consists of 54 mineral rights spread over 59,275 acres (240 km2) and predominantly located within the Brazilian Eastern Pegmatitic Province which has been surveyed by the Brazilian Geological Survey and is known for the presence of hard rock formations known as pegmatites which contain lithium-bearing minerals such as spodumene and petalite. Generally, lithium derived from pegmatites is less costly to purify for uses in high technology applications than lithium obtained from brine. Such applications include the battery supply chain for electric vehicles (“EVs”), an area of expected high growth for the next several decades.

 

We believe that we can materially increase our value by the acceleration of our exploratory work and quantification of our lithium mineralization. Our initial commercial goal is to be able to enter production of lithium-bearing concentrate, a product which is highly sought after in the battery supply chain for EVs.

As of the date of this prospectus, we own approximately 45% of the shares of common stock of Apollo Resources Corporation (“Apollo Resources”), a private company primarily focused on the development of its initial iron mine.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we own approximately 28% of the shares of common stock of Jupiter Gold Corporation (“Jupiter Gold”), a company focused on the exploration of two gold projects and the operation of a producing quartzite mine, and whose common stock are quoted on the OTCQB marketplace under the symbol “JUPGF.”

 

The results of operations from both Apollo Resources and Jupiter Gold are consolidated in our financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Business Risks

 

Our future performance is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating history.
   
We have a history of losses and expect to continue to incur losses in the future.
   
We are an exploration stage company, and there is no guarantee that our properties will result in the commercial extraction of mineral deposits.
   
Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is not known, our properties may not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration and evaluation may be lost.
   
We face risks related to mining, exploration and mine construction, if warranted, on our properties.
   
Our long-term success will depend ultimately on our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and to develop positive cash flow from our mining activities.
   
We depend on our ability to successfully access the capital and financial markets. Any inability to access the capital or financial markets may limit our ability to fund our ongoing operations, execute our business plan or pursue investments that we may rely on for future growth.
   
Our quarterly and annual operating and financial results and our revenue are likely to fluctuate significantly in future periods.
   
Our ability to manage growth will have an impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
   
We depend upon Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.
   
Our growth will require new personnel, which we will be required to recruit, hire, train and retain.
   
Certain executive officers and directors may be in a position of conflict of interest.

 

Regulatory and Industry Risks

 

The mining industry subjects us to several risks.
   
Our mineral projects will be subject to significant government regulations.
   
We will be required to obtain governmental permits in order to conduct development and mining operations, a process which is often costly and time-consuming.
   
Compliance with environmental regulations and litigation based on environmental regulations could require significant expenditures.
   
Our operations face substantial regulation of health and safety.
   
Our operations are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations.
   
Mineral prices are subject to unpredictable fluctuations.

Country and Currency Risks

 

Our ability to execute our business plan depends primarily on the continuation of a favorable mining environment in Brazil and our ability to freely sell our minerals.
   
The perception of Brazil by the international community may affect us.
   
Exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations and capital controls may adversely affect our costs, earnings and the value of some of our assets.

 

Common Stock Risks

 

Our common stock price has been and may continue to be volatile.
   
We do not intend to pay regular future dividends on our common stock and thus stockholders must look to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.
   
We may seek to raise additional funds, finance acquisitions, or develop strategic relationships by issuing securities that would dilute your ownership.
   
Our Series A Preferred Stock has the effect of concentrating voting control over us in Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman.
   
Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and member of our board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”), owns greater than 50% of our voting securities, which means we are deemed a “controlled company” under the rules of Nasdaq.
   
Our stock price may be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
   
You will experience dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
   
Our existing stockholders have substantial influence over us and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders, which may discourage, delay or prevent a change in control is us, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their securities.
   
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock by our stockholders in the public market could cause our stock price to fall.

 

Costs as a result of operating as a public company are significant, and our management is required to devote substantial time to compliance with our public company responsibilities and corporate governance practices.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may not meet the standards required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, could have a material adverse effect on our business and share price.

Controlled Company

 

Marc Fogassa, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, by way of his ownership of our common stock and 100% of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”) currently controls approximately 66.20% of the voting power of our capital stock and will continue to control a majority of the voting power of our capital stock upon completion of this offering, and we believe that we are a “controlled company,” as such term is defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Accordingly, the voting rights of purchasers of our common stock or preferred stock will be qualified by the right of the holder of our Series A Preferred to exercise 51% of the voting power of our capital stock.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. The prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to an investment in our securities. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the section in the applicable prospectus supplement captioned “Risk Factors,” together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in the prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed subsequent to such Form 10-K that are incorporated herein by reference, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this prospectus are forward-looking statements, including without limitation, statements regarding current expectations, as of the date of this prospectus, our future results of operations and financial position, our ability to effectively process our minerals and achieve commercial grade at scale; risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including risks inherent in exploring, developing, constructing and operating mining projects, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions); our ability to derive any financial success from the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. in December 2022; uncertainty about our ability to obtain required capital to execute our business plan; our ability to hire and retain required personnel; changes in the market prices of lithium and lithium products and demand for such products; the uncertainties inherent in exploratory, developmental and production activities, including risks relating to permitting, zoning and regulatory delays related to our projects; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of lithium resources. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. Factors that could cause future results to materially differ from the recent results or those projected in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits, but also from finding mineral deposits that, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production; market fluctuations; government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection; competition; the loss of services of key personnel; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of infrastructure as well as general economic conditions.

 

The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including the factors described under the sections in titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual and quarterly filings made with the SEC. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as described in any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus for general corporate purposes, including the development and commercialization of our products, general and administrative expenses, and working capital and capital expenditures. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for the foregoing purposes. As a result, our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of any sale of the securities.

 

Each time we offer securities under this prospectus, we will describe the intended use of the net proceeds from that offering in the applicable prospectus supplement. The actual amount of net proceeds we spend on a particular use will depend on many factors, including, our future capital expenditures, the amount of cash required by our operations, and our future revenue growth, if any. Therefore, we will retain broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as our Board may declare from time to time out of legally available funds, subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock that are outstanding or that we may issue in the future. Currently, we do not pay any dividends on our common stock. Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders. Unless otherwise provided by our articles of incorporation, our bylaws, the Nevada Revised Statutes or applicable law, actions by stockholders entitled to vote on a matter are determined by a majority of the votes cast. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. Upon dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to ratably receive the remaining assets of the Company after provision for payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and subject to the rights, if any, of holders of any outstanding series of stock having a preference over, or the right to participate with, the common stock with respect to the distribution of assets. In this prospectus, we provide a general description of, among other things, the rights and restrictions that apply to holders of our common stock.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred”) are not entitled to dividends, except that in the event that a dividend is declared on the Company’s common stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred shall receive the dividends that would be payable if all the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into common stock immediately prior to the declaration of the dividend. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of the Series A Preferred are not entitled to a liquidation preference over the holders of common stock, and shall share in any remaining assets pro rata with the holders of common stock as if converted into common stock. The holders of the Series A Preferred have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of holders of common stock. For so long as any Series A Preferred is issued and outstanding, the holders of Series A Preferred shall vote together as a single class with the holders of common stock, with the holders of Series A Preferred being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all such matters regardless of the actual number of shares of Series A Preferred then outstanding, and the holders of common stock and any other shares entitled to vote being entitled to their proportional share of the remaining 49% of the total votes based on their respective voting power. The vote of 100% of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall determine the vote of the Series A Preferred Stock as a class. If the holders of Series A Preferred Stock cannot unanimously agree on how to vote on a particular matter or matters, then the holders shall submit such matter or matters for a determination by a majority of the directors of the Board of Directors of (including, for such purpose, directors who are holders of Series A Preferred Stock) and the holders shall be deemed to have voted all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the determination of the Board of Directors. Holders of the Series A Preferred may elect to convert each share of Series A Preferred into one share of common stock. The rights, powers or privileges of the Series A Preferred may not be altered without the approval of all holders of outstanding Series A Preferred.

 

7

 

 

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Holders our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Series D Preferred”) have no voting rights unless the shares of Series D Preferred are converted into shares of common stock. Holders of the Series D Preferred may, at any time, elect to convert each outstanding share of Series D Preferred into 13 and 1/3 shares of common stock, giving effect to the reverse stock split that occurred as of December 20, 2022 and subject to any adjustment in the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or similar change in the Company’s shares. If the Company declares a dividend or distribution on its common stock, the Holders of Series D Preferred are entitled to receive such dividend or distribution on a pro rata basis with the common stock determined on an as-converted basis. The rights of the Series D Preferred cannot be waived or amended without the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Series D Preferred.

 

Authorized But Unissued Capital Stock

 

We have shares of common stock and preferred stock available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company may utilize these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including for future public offerings to raise additional capital or facilitate corporate acquisitions or for payment as a dividend on the Company’s capital stock. The existence of unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock may enable the Company’s board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management or to issue preferred stock with terms that could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a controlling interest in the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, or otherwise. In addition, if the Company issues preferred stock, the issuance could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.

 

Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, has the authority under the Company’s amended and restated articles 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 in control or make removal of management more difficult.

 

Election of Directors

 

Our second amended and restated bylaws provide that a vacancy on the board of directors shall be filled by the directors then in office, though less than a quorum. These provisions may discourage a third party from voting to remove incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the Company’s board of directors by filling the vacancies created by that removal with its own nominees.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Except in certain cases for directors elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock, a director may be removed only by the affirmative vote two-thirds of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Since Mr. Fogassa effectively holds a majority of the voting power, the other stockholders are effectively prohibited from removing directors.

 

Stockholder Meetings

 

Special meetings of shareholders, other than those regulated by statute, may be called by the president upon written request of the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at such special meeting. Since Mr. Fogassa effectively holds a majority of the voting power, the other stockholders are effectively prohibited from calling special meetings. This provision may discourage another person or entity from making a tender offer, even if it acquired a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, because the person or entity could only take action at a duly called stockholders’ meeting or by written consent.

Anti-takeover Effects of Nevada Law

 

Certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, as described below, may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in our control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

 

Combinations with Interested Stockholders

 

Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes, NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive, prohibit specified types of business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless (1) the corporation’s board of directors approves, in advance, either the combination itself, or the transaction by which such person becomes an interested stockholder, or (2) the combination is approved by the board of directors and 60% of the then-outstanding voting power of the corporation’s stockholders not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Further, in the absence of the prior approval described above, certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. However, these statutes do not apply to any combination of a corporation and an interested stockholder after the expiration of four years after the person first became an interested stockholder.

 

For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an interested stockholder. These statutes generally apply to “resident domestic corporations,” namely Nevada corporations with 200 or more stockholders of record. However, a Nevada corporation may elect in its articles of incorporation not to be governed by these particular laws, but if such election is not made in the corporation’s original articles of incorporation, the amendment (1) must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of stock representing a majority of the outstanding voting power of the corporation not beneficially owned by interested stockholders or their affiliates and associates, and (2) is not effective until 18 months after the vote approving the amendment and does not apply to any combination with a person who first became an interested stockholder on or before the effective date of the amendment.

 

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation include a provision providing that at such time, if any, that we become a “resident domestic corporation” as defined in the NRS, we will not be subject to, or governed by, any of the provisions of NRS 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, as amended from time to time, or any successor statute. As a result, pursuant to NRS 78.434, the “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes will not apply to us, unless our amended and restated articles of incorporation are subsequently further amended to provide that we are subject to those provisions.

 

Acquisition of Controlling Interest Statutes

 

Nevada’s “acquisition of controlling interest” statutes, NRS 78.378 through 78.3793, inclusive, contain provisions governing the acquisition of stockholder voting power above specified thresholds in certain Nevada corporations. These “control share” laws provide generally that any person that acquires a “controlling interest” in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights. These laws provide that a person acquires a “controlling interest” whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one-fifth or more, but less than one-third, (2) one-third or more, but less than a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become “control shares” to which the voting restrictions described above apply.

In our second amended and restated bylaws, we have elected not to be governed by, and to otherwise opt out of, the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive. Absent such provision in our bylaws, these statutes would apply to us as of a particular date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless our articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise.

 

NRS 78.139(4) also provides that directors of a Nevada corporation may resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the board of directors determines that the change or potential change is opposed to, or not in, the best interest of the corporation upon consideration of any relevant facts, circumstances, contingencies or constituencies that the directors are entitled, but not required, to consider when exercising their directorial powers pursuant to NRS 78.138(4).

 

The existence of the foregoing provisions and other potential anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell securities:

 

through underwriters;
   
through broker-dealers;
   
through agents;
   
directly to purchasers; or
   
through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

 

In addition, we may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders.

 

We may directly solicit offers to purchase securities or agents may be designated to solicit such offers. We will, in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering, name any agent that could be viewed as an underwriter under the Securities Act and describe any commissions that we must pay. Any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. This prospectus may be used in connection with any offering of our securities through any of these methods or other methods described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The distribution of the securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

at a fixed price or prices that may be changed from time to time;
   
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
   
at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
   
at negotiated prices.

 

Each prospectus supplement will describe the method of distribution of the securities and any applicable restrictions.

 

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities of a particular series will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including the following:

 

the name of the agent or any underwriters;
   
the public offering or purchase price;
   
if applicable, the names of any selling securityholders;
   
any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to the agent or underwriters;
   
all other items constituting underwriting compensation;
   
any discounts and commissions to be allowed or paid to broker-dealers; and
   
any exchanges on which the securities will be listed.

 

11

 

 

If any underwriters or agents are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we will enter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters or agents and the terms of the related agreement with them.

 

If a broker-dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which the prospectus is delivered, we will sell such securities to the broker-dealer, as principal. The broker-dealer may then resell such securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by such broker-dealer at the time of resale.

 

If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing securityholders, we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with broker-dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

 

Agents, underwriters, broker-dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements that they may enter into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in the prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in the prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

 

the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and
   
if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery.

 

The underwriters and other persons acting as agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

 

Certain agents, underwriters and broker-dealers, and their associates and affiliates may be customers of, have borrowing relationships with, engage in other transactions with, and/or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, any underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, any underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any such other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any such other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. Any such underwriters are not required to engage in these activities and may end any of these activities at any time.

 

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the third business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than three scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

 

12

 

 

The securities may be new issues of securities and may have no established trading market. The securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence of trading markets for any of the securities.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, Las Vegas, Nevada. Additional legal matters may be passed on for us, or any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that, subject to limited statutory exceptions and unless the corporation’s articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto (in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003) provide for greater individual liability, or except as otherwise provided in NRS 138(7), a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation or its stockholders or creditors for damages as a result of an act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless: (a) the presumption established by NRS 78.138(3), that directors and officers, in deciding upon matters of business, are presumed to act in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation, has been rebutted; and (b) it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.

 

NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify, pursuant to the provisions of that statute, 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 the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which 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 the conduct was unlawful.

 

NRS 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify, pursuant to the provisions of that statute, 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 the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification made pursuant to NRS 78.7502 may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

14

 

 

NRS 78.7502(3) provides that any discretionary indemnification pursuant to NRS 78.7502 (unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to NRS 78.751(2)), may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made (i) by the stockholders; (ii) by the Board of Directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. NRS 78.751(2) provides that unless otherwise restricted by the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws, or an agreement made by the corporation, the corporation may pay the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

 

NRS 78.752 provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against the person and liability and expenses incurred by the person in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify such a person against such liability and expenses. The Registrant has obtained primary and excess insurance policies insuring its directors and officers and its subsidiaries against certain liabilities they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers. Under such policies, the insurer, on the Registrant’s behalf, may also pay amounts for which the Registrant has granted indemnification to the directors or officers.

 

The foregoing discussion of indemnification merely summarizes certain aspects of indemnification provisions and is limited by reference to the above discussed sections of the NRS.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended, provide that the Registrant may indemnify, to the full extent of its power to do so, all directors and officers. The Registrant’s second amended and restated bylaws further provide that the Registrant may indemnify, in addition to all directors and officers and to the full extent of its power to do so, any employee or agent of the Registrant. Insofar as indemnification by the Registrant for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to officers and directors of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Commission, 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:

 

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

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission, pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended 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.

 

16

 

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such 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.

 

(6) 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.

 

(b) 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of 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 Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
