The registration statement was declared effective on the same date. The registration statement contained two forms of prospectus: (i) a public offering prospectus, pursuant to which a total of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company was offered in connection with a prospectus supplement dated June 6, 2019, and (ii) a selling securityholders resale and warrant exercise prospectus relating to (A) the issuance of up to 27,093,334 shares of common stock upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants and (B) the resale or distribution by the selling securityholders named therein or their permitted transferees of up to 46,544,667 shares of common stock of the Company and 8,693,334 warrants to purchase up to 8,693,334 shares of common stock of the Company.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the selling securityholders may, from time to time, offer and sell up to an aggregate of 37,007,567 shares of common stock and 8,693,334 private placement warrants described in this prospectus in one or more offerings, in each case from time to time as described in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of up to 27,093,334 shares of common stock that are issuable upon the exercise of certain outstanding warrants.

 

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus, any supplement to this prospectus or in any free writing prospectus, filed with the SEC. Neither we nor the selling securityholders have authorized anyone to provide you with additional information or information different from that contained in this prospectus filed with the SEC. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. The selling securityholders are offering to sell, and seeking offers to buy, our securities only in jurisdictions where offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any sale of our securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date.

 

For investors outside the United States: Neither we nor the selling securityholders have done anything that would permit this offering or possession or distribution of this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required, other than in the United States. Persons outside the United States who come into possession of this prospectus must inform themselves about, and observe any restrictions relating to, the offering of our securities and the distribution of this prospectus outside the United States.

 

To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus, on the one hand, and the information contained in any document incorporated by reference filed with the SEC before the date of this prospectus, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus. If any statement in a document incorporated by reference is inconsistent with a statement in another document incorporated by reference having a later date, the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

 

The industry and market data contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including information regarding our general expectations and market opportunity are based either on our management’s own estimates or on independent industry publications, reports by market research firms or other published independent sources. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness, as industry and market data are subject to change and cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to limits on the availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties inherent in any statistical survey of market shares. Accordingly, you should be aware that the industry and market data contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and estimates and beliefs based on such data, may not be reliable.

 

Unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “GTY,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to GTY Technology Holdings Inc., a Massachusetts corporation.

  This prospectus also relates to the resale or distribution from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees of up to 37,007,567 shares of our common stock and 8,693,334 warrants to purchase up to 8,693,334 shares of our common stock, consisting of:
  · up to 6,478,671 BC shares;
  · up to 1,757,689 shares issuable upon the exchange of the Bonfire Exchangeco exchangeable shares;
  · up to 4,067,952 shares issuable upon the exchange of the Questica Exchangeco exchangeable shares;
  · up to 3,167,037 PIPE shares;
  · up to 12,842,884 founder shares;
  · up to 8,693,334 private placement warrants; and
  · up to 8,693,334 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants.
Terms of the offering The selling securityholders will determine when and how they will dispose of the shares of our common stock and warrants registered under this prospectus for resale.
Shares outstanding prior to the offering As of November 22, 2021, we had 57,571,046 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
Shares outstanding after the offering 63,171,687 shares of our common stock (assuming the exercise for cash of warrants to purchase 27,093,334 shares of our common stock).
Use of proceeds We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the warrants or shares of our common stock by the selling securityholders. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase upon exercise one share of our common stock for $11.50 per share. We would receive $311,576,341 in proceeds assuming the exercise of all of the warrants for cash. The private placement warrants may be exercised on a “cashless basis” so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the warrants for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and other business opportunities, the repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital.

RISK FACTORS

 

Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein, including any risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and quarterly and other reports filed with the SEC. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose part or all of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

 

Risks Relating to this Offering

 

The issuance of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of our warrants may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.

 

To the extent we deliver shares of our common stock upon exercises of our warrants, the issuance of such shares will dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders. Any sales in the public market of such shares could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

 

Resales of our common stock or warrants in the public market may cause the trading prices to fall.

 

Resales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or our warrants could depress the trading price of our common stock or warrants. The resale of our common stock or warrants by the selling securityholders could reduce the trading price of the stock or warrants and could result in resales of our common stock or warrants by our other current securityholders. If our securityholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock or warrants in the public market following the secondary offering contemplated by this prospectus, the trading price of our common stock or warrants could fall.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

All the securities offered in this prospectus are being sold by the selling securityholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the warrants or shares of our common stock by the selling securityholders. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase upon exercise one share of our common stock for $11.50 per share. We would receive $311,576,341 in proceeds assuming the exercise of all of the warrants for cash. The private placement warrants may be exercised on a “cashless basis” so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the warrants for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and other business opportunities, the repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital. Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the private placement warrants will elect to exercise any or all of the private placement warrants. To the extent that the private placement warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of such warrants will decrease.

 

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the issuance by us of up to 18,400,000 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of public warrants and up to 8,693,334 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of private placement warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase upon exercise one share of our common stock for $11.50 per share.

This prospectus also relates to the resale or distribution from time to time by selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees of up to 37,007,567 shares of our common stock and 8,693,334 warrants to purchase up to 8,693,334 shares of our common stock, consisting of:

 

·up to 6,478,671 BC shares;

 

·up to 1,757,689 exchangeable shares issuable upon the exchange of the Bonfire Exchangeco exchangeable shares;

 

·up to 4,067,952 shares issuable upon the exchange of the Questica Exchangeco exchangeable shares;

 

·up to 3,167,037 PIPE shares;

 

·up to 12,842,884 founder shares;

 

·up to 8,693,334 private placement warrants; and

 

·up to 8,693,334 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants.

 

The term “selling securityholders” includes the securityholders listed in the table below and their permitted transferees.

 

The following table provides, as of the date of this prospectus, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock and warrants of each selling securityholder, the number of shares of our common stock and number of warrants that may be sold by each selling securityholder under this prospectus and that each selling securityholder will beneficially own after this offering.

 

Because each selling securityholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of their securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a selling securityholder upon termination of this offering. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering none of the securities covered by this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the selling securityholders and further assumed that the selling securityholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. In addition, the selling securityholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may after the date on which the information in the table is presented sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and of which we have no knowledge.

 

We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this selling securityholders list and the securities that may be resold based on information known to us.

 

Please see the section titled “Plan of Distribution” for further information regarding the stockholders’ method of distributing these shares.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling securityholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling warrants, shares of our common stock or interests in shares of our common stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their warrants, shares of our common stock or interests in shares of our common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the warrants or shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.

 

The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of warrants, shares or interests therein:

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

13

 

 

 

·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for their account;

 

·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

·privately negotiated transactions;

 

·short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC, to the extent the Company’s Policy Regarding Insider Trading and Dissemination of Inside Information (the “Insider Trading Policy”) and Section 16(c) of the Exchange Act permit such sales;

 

·through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

·broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

·a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

·any other method permitted by applicable law.

 

To the extent the Insider Trading Policy permits, the selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of our common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the warrants or shares of our common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer the warrants or shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

In connection with the sale of our warrants, shares of our common stock or interests therein, the selling securityholders, to the extent the Insider Trading Policy permits, may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the warrants or shares of our common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may also sell warrants or shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the warrants or common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities, to the extent the Insider Trading Policy permits. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of warrants or shares offered by this prospectus, which warrants or shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling securityholders from the sale of the warrants or common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the warrants or common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling securityholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of warrants or common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.

 

The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling securityholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

14

 

 

To the extent required, the warrants or shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

 

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the warrants or common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the warrants or common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

We have advised the selling securityholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of warrants or shares in the market and to the activities of the selling securityholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the warrants or shares offered by this prospectus.

 

We have agreed with the selling securityholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or such securities have been withdrawn.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following description of our capital stock is a summary and is not complete. We urge you to read in their entirety our restated articles of organization (our “charter”) and our bylaws, each of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

Authorized and Outstanding Stock

 

Under our charter, our authorized capital stock consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of November 22, 2021, there were 57,571,046 shares of common stock outstanding and no shares of preferred stock outstanding. As of November 22, 2021, there were 27,093,334 warrants to purchase shares of our common stock outstanding. As of November 22, 2021, there were 5,600,641 shares of certain of our subsidiaries that are exchangeable on a one-to-one basis for shares of the Company’s common stock. The outstanding shares of our common stock are duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and any shares of our common stock issued upon exercise of our warrants will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “GTYH.”

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Power

 

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any amendment or restatement of our charter establishing any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and will at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

15

 

 

Dividends

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

 

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

 

In the event of the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up of the Company, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after we have satisfied or made provision for the satisfaction of our debts and obligations and shall have paid or made provision for satisfaction of the rights of the holders of the preferred stock, if any.

 

Preemptive or Other Rights

 

There are no preemptive or other subscription rights and no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to holders of our common stock.

 

Election of Directors

 

Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. We have a classified board of directors that is divided into three classes with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be subject to election at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the directors in the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. Our bylaws contemplate, among other things, that (i) at a meeting of shareholders in which the number of nominees for election to our board of directors is equal to or less than the number of directors to be elected, a nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors only if the majority of votes cast at such meeting (with “abstentions” and “broker non-votes” not counted as votes cast) are cast “for” such nominee’s election and (ii) at a meeting of shareholders in which the number of nominees for election to our board of directors exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at such meeting.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our charter authorizes our board of directors to establish one or more series of preferred stock and to determine, with respect to any series of preferred stock, the terms and rights of that series, including:

 

·the number of shares to be included in such series;

 

·the designation of such series;

 

·the powers of such series; and

 

·the preferences and rights of such series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.

 

The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could also adversely affect the voting power and dividend and liquidation rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock could also, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of GTY or the removal of existing management or otherwise adversely affect the market price of our common stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights of that series of preferred stock.

 

16

 

 

Warrants

 

Each whole warrant, whether a public warrant or private placement warrant, is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock at $11.50 per share.

 

Public Warrants

 

As of November 22, 2021, we had 18,400,000 public warrants outstanding. Each public warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on March 21, 2019. A warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares. The warrants will expire on February 19, 2024, which is five years after the closing date of the business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The public warrants were determined to be equity classified in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging.

 

We will not be obligated to deliver any shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to its satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a share of common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant.

 

We are obligated to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. A registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants was declared effective by the SEC on May 28, 2019. During any period when we may fail to maintain an effective registration statement, warrant holders may, until such time as there is again an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

 

Private Placement Warrants

 

At the time of our initial public offering, our sponsor purchased 8,693,334 warrants in a private placement at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The private placement warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private placement warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private placement warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or such purchasers’ permitted transferees. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial shareholders or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants. Because the Company’s private placement warrants do not otherwise contain a provision whereby the Company can redeem them, the private placement warrants were recorded at fair value as a liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet following the Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies that the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the SEC issued on April 12, 2021.

 

17

 

 

Redemption

 

We may call the public warrants for redemption:

 

·in whole and not in part;

 

·at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

 

·upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and

 

·if, and only if, the last reported closing price of our shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

 

If we call the public warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the public warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

 

The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will we be required to net cash settle the warrants shares.

 

Transfer Agent, Registrar and Warrant Agent

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock and warrant agent for our warrants is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Massachusetts Law and our Charter

 

We are, as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, subject to the provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws.

 

Chapter 110F of the Massachusetts General Laws generally provides that, if a person acquires 5% or more of the stock of a Massachusetts corporation without the approval of the board of directors of that corporation, such person may not engage in certain transactions with the corporation for a period of three years following the time that person becomes a 5% shareholder, with certain exceptions. A Massachusetts corporation may elect in its articles of organization or bylaws not to be governed by Chapter 110F.

 

Under the Massachusetts control share acquisitions statute (Chapter 110D of the Massachusetts General Laws), a person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of stock of a corporation in a threshold amount equal to one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting stock of the corporation, referred to as a control share acquisition, must obtain the approval of a majority of shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (excluding (i) any shares owned by any person acquiring or proposing to acquire beneficial ownership of shares in a control share acquisition, (ii) any shares owned by any officer of the corporation and (iii) any shares owned by any employee of the corporation who is also a director of the corporation) for the purpose of acquiring voting rights for the shares that such person acquires in crossing the foregoing thresholds.

 

The Massachusetts control share acquisitions statute permits the corporation, to the extent authorized by its articles of organization or bylaws, to redeem all shares acquired by an acquiring person in a control share acquisition for fair value (which is to be determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the corporation) if  (i) no control share acquisition statement is delivered by the acquiring person or (ii) a control share acquisition statement has been delivered and voting rights were not authorized for such shares by the shareholders in accordance with the applicable provision of the control share acquisitions statute.

 

If the voting rights for shares acquired in a control share acquisition are authorized by a majority of shareholders, the acquirer has acquired beneficial ownership of a majority or more of all voting power in the election of directors, then each stockholder of record, other than the acquirer, who has not voted in favor of authorizing voting rights for the control may demand payment for his or her stock and an appraisal in accordance with M.G.L. chapter 156D.

 

18

 

 

The Massachusetts control share acquisition statute permits a Massachusetts corporation to elect not to be governed by the statute’s provisions by including a provision in the corporation’s articles of organization or bylaws pursuant to which the corporation opts out of the statute.

 

Massachusetts law provides that the board of directors of a public corporation be staggered into three groups having terms of three years. This could make it difficult to replace a majority of the board in any one year. A corporation may elect not to be governed by this provision by a vote of the board of directors, or by two-thirds of each class of stock outstanding at a meeting duly called for the purpose of voting on an exemption.

 

Chapter 110C of the Massachusetts General Laws (i) subjects an offeror to certain disclosure and filing requirements before such offeror can proceed with a takeover bid, defined to include any acquisition of or offer to acquire stock by which, after acquisition, the offeror would own more than 10% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of a target company and (ii) provides that, if a person (together with its associates and affiliates) beneficially owns more than 5% of the stock of a Massachusetts corporation, such person may not make a takeover bid if during the preceding year such person acquired any of the subject stock with the undisclosed intent of gaining control of the corporation. The statute contains certain exceptions to these prohibitions, including if the board of directors approves the takeover bid, recommends it to the corporation’s shareholders and the terms of the takeover are furnished to shareholders. The validity of Chapter 110C has been called into questioned by a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision that invalidated a similar law in the state of Illinois.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Company is a Massachusetts corporation. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 156D, Sections 8.51 – 8.59, inclusive, provide that a corporation may, subject to certain limitations, indemnify its directors, officers, employees and other agents, and individuals serving with respect to any employee benefit plan, and must, in certain cases, indemnify a director or officer for his or her reasonable costs if he or she is wholly successful in his defense in a proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the corporation. In certain circumstances, a court may order a corporation to indemnify its officers or directors or advance their expenses. Chapter 156D, Section 8.58 allows a corporation to limit or expand its obligation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees and agents in the corporation’s articles of organization, a bylaw adopted by the shareholders, or a contract adopted by its board of directors or shareholders.

 

Both Chapter 156D, Section 8.57 and the Company’s articles of organization provide that the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance against liability incurred by an officer or director in his capacity as officer or director or while serving at the Company’s request as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another domestic or foreign corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan, or other entity, or arising out of his or her status as such. The Company currently maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which insures the officers and directors of the Company from any claim arising out of an alleged wrongful act by such person in their respective capacities as officers and directors of the Company.

 

Under Chapter 156D, Section 8.51(d), the Company may not indemnify a director unless ordered to do so by a court if his or her conduct (i) did not satisfy the requirements that he or she (A) has conducted himself or herself in good faith, (B) reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in the best interest of the Company or that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company, (C) in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, or (ii)(A) constituted a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (B) involved acts or omissions not in good faith or intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (C) resulted in improper distributions under section 6.40 of Chapter 156D of the Massachusetts General Laws, (D) resulted in the director deriving an improper benefit, or (E) with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he or she reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in, and the beneficiaries of, the plan, was at least not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

 

The determination of whether the relevant standards of conduct have been met shall be made: (a) if there are two or more disinterested directors, by the board of directors by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by vote; (b) by special legal counsel selected by a majority vote of all the disinterested directors or by a majority of the members of a committee of two or more disinterested directors appointed by vote; (c) if there are fewer than two disinterested directors, selected by the board of directors, in which selection directors who do not qualify as disinterested directors may participate; or (d) by the shareholders (but shares owned by or voted under the control of a disinterested director may not be voted on the determination).

 

II-1

 

 

The Company is not obligated under its articles of organization to indemnify or advance expenses to a director or officer of a predecessor of the Company, pertaining to conduct with respect to the predecessor, unless otherwise specifically provided.

 

The Company’s articles of organization provide that no amendment or repeal of the indemnification provision of its bylaws or of the relevant provisions of Chapter 156D shall affect or diminish the rights of any indemnified person to indemnification with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any actions occurring prior to the final adoption of the amendment or repeal. The Company’s articles of organization provide that no amendment or repeal of the provision limiting the liability of directors shall adversely affect the rights and protections afforded to directors of the Company for acts or omissions occurring prior to the amendment or repeal. The articles also provide that if the Massachusetts Business Corporation Act is subsequently amended to increase the scope of permitted indemnification, indemnification under the articles shall be provided to the full extent permitted or required by the amendment.

 

The Company has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by its board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. The Company believes that these indemnification agreements, in addition to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Company’s articles of organization may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against its directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against the Company’s directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the Company and its stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed 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:

 

(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;

 

(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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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), (ii) and (iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

II-5

 

 

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

 

(5)       That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, 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, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in 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 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
