REOFFER PROSPECTUS

 

6,399,890 Shares of Common Stock

This reoffer prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”), or their permitted transferees, of up to 6,399,890 shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Microvast Holdings, Inc. (unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”), a Delaware corporation. This prospectus covers 6,399,890 shares of Common Stock issued to each Selling Securityholder under an option, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit award agreement, as applicable, between the Company and the Selling Securityholder. We are not offering any shares of Common Stock and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. Certain of the Selling Securityholders are “affiliates” of our company (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)).

Upon vesting of the shares offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the award agreements, and upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described herein, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. If underwriters or dealers are used to sell the shares, we will name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus supplement. The Common Stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. We do not know when or in what amount the Selling Securityholders may offer the shares for sale. The Selling Securityholders may sell any, all or none of the shares offered by this prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 12 for more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell or dispose of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

The shares of Common Stock that have been or will be issued pursuant to option, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit awards granted to the Selling Securityholders will be “restricted securities” or “control securities” under the Securities Act before their sale under this prospectus. This prospectus has been prepared for the purposes of registering the shares under the Securities Act to allow for future sales by Selling Securityholders on a continuous or delayed basis to the public without restriction.

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “MVST.” On September 30, 2021, the closing price of our Common Stock was $8.22 per share.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as that term is defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section on page 5 of this prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued under this prospectus or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is October 1, 2021.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you in making an investment decision. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information included in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein. Potential investors should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risks of purchasing our common stock discussed in “Risk Factors.”

The Company

Microvast Holdings, Inc. is a Delaware corporation that is a holding company. As a holding company with no material operations of our own, our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries, including subsidiaries based in China. Although we are in the process of diversifying the geographic concentration of our operations, including by developing manufacturing facilities in Europe and the United States, a large majority of our facilities are currently located in the PRC. All securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus are securities of the Delaware holding company, and accordingly no investor will acquire a direct interest in any of the equity securities of our subsidiaries.

We are a technology innovator for lithium ion batteries. We design, develop and manufacture battery systems for electric vehicles and energy storage systems that feature ultra-fast charging capabilities, long life and superior safety. Our vision is to solve the key constraints in electric vehicle development and in high-performance energy storage applications. We believe the ultra-fast charging capabilities of our battery systems make charging electric vehicles as convenient as fueling conventional vehicles. We believe that the long battery life of our battery systems also reduces the total cost of ownership of electric vehicles and energy storage applications.

Background

Microvast Holdings, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), was originally known as Tuscan Holdings Corp. (“Tuscan”), which was incorporated on April 25, 2016 as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses and which completed its initial public offering on March 7, 2019. Tuscan was a “shell company” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), because it had no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash. On July 23, 2021 (the “Closing Date”) Tuscan consummated the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to which TSCN Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tuscan formed solely for the purpose of effectuating the Business Combination, merged with and into Microvast, with Microvast surviving the merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Tuscan. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), we changed our name to “Microvast Holdings, Inc.” At the Closing, the issued and outstanding shares of Microvast’s common stock and preferred stock, each option to purchase Mircrovast’s common stock and each restricted stock unit were exchanged for shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Similarly, all of Tuscan’s outstanding warrants became warrants to acquire shares of the Company’s Common Stock on the same terms as Tuscan’s warrants.

Our Common Stock is currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “MVST”.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

 

 3  

 

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

 

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

About This Offering

This reoffer prospectus relates to the public offering, which is not being underwritten, by the Selling Securityholders listed in this prospectus, of up to 6,399,890 shares of our Common Stock, issued to each Selling Securityholder under an option, restricted stock unit or performance stock unit award agreement, as applicable, between the Company and the Selling Securityholder. Upon vesting of the shares offered hereby pursuant to the terms of the award agreements, and upon expiration of the lock-up agreements described herein, the Selling Securityholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus through underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents. We will receive none of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Securityholders. We will bear all expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders will be borne by them.

Risk Factors

Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that represent challenges that we face in connection with the successful implementation of our strategy and growth of our business, including those described under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 (File No. 333-258978), our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Business Combination and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated on April 25, 2016 as a Delaware corporation under the name “Tuscan Holdings Corp.” and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On July 23, 2021, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, we changed our name to “Microvast Holdings, Inc.” Our principal executive offices are located at 12603 Southwest Freeway, Suite 210, Stafford, Texas 77477, and our telephone number is (281) 491-9505.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 (File No. 333-258978), our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A relating to the Business Combination and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

The Selling Securityholders will determine at what price they may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” below for more information.

 6  

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

The shares of Common Stock offered hereby are being registered for the account of the Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Selling Securityholders and the shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders as of September 24, 2021 and the percentage of beneficial ownership is calculated based on 300,516,237 shares outstanding as of such date. The Selling Securityholders may offer all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of some or all of their shares since the date on which the information in the following table is presented in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Information concerning the Selling Securityholders may change from time to time and, if necessary, we will amend or supplement this prospectus accordingly. We cannot give an estimate as to the number of shares of Common Stock that will actually be held by the Selling Securityholders upon termination of this offering because the Selling Securityholders may offer some or all of their Common Stock under the offering contemplated by this prospectus or acquire additional shares of Common Stock. We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Securityholders will, in fact, sell any or all of such shares of Common Stock.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

(ii)    The Class II Directors shall be Stanley Whittingham and Arthur Wong, each of whom shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders; and

 

(iii)   The Class III Directors shall be Yang Wu, Yanzhuan Zheng and Craig Webster, each of whom shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Yang Wu shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate for election to the board at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected a number of individuals (rounded up to the nearest whole number) equal to (a) the total number of directors, multiplied by (b) the quotient obtained by dividing the shares of common stock beneficially owned by Yang Wu by the total number of outstanding shares of common stock (each, a “Wu Director”) less the number of Wu Directors then serving on the board and whose terms in office are not expiring at such meeting. Yang Wu, Yanzhuan Zheng, Stanley Whittingham and Arthur Wong were nominated by Yang Wu as the initial Wu Directors.

 

So long as the Sponsor beneficially owns at least 5,481,441 shares of common stock, the Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate for election to the board at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which directors are elected, one individual (the “Sponsor Director”) less the number of Sponsor Directors then serving on the board and whose terms in office are not expiring at such meeting. Stephen Vogel was nominated by the Sponsor as the initial Sponsor Director.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

The Sponsor and related parties entered into an amendment to the Escrow Agreement between Tuscan, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the Sponsor Group pursuant to which the 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s common stock purchased by the Sponsor in November 2018 are being held post-Closing. Pursuant to the amended Escrow Agreement:

 10  

 

•        The 5,062,500 shares of common stock held by Sponsor (“Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares”) and all of the shares of common stock held by each of Stefan M. Selig, Richard O. Rieger and Amy Butte (together with the Sponsor, the “Founders”) (the “Founder Upfront Escrow Shares”) shall be held until (i) with respect to 3,375,000 Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and 45,000 Founder Upfront Escrow Shares, the earlier of (A) one year following the date of the Closing (the “Anniversary Release Date”) and (B) the date on which the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the Closing, and (ii) with respect to the remaining Sponsor Upfront Escrow Shares and Founder Upfront Escrow Shares, the Anniversary Release Date.

•        The Escrow Agent shall hold the 50% of the 1,687,500 shares of common stock held by Sponsor (the “Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares”) until the later of (A) the Anniversary Release Date and (B) the date on which the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the Closing (the “First Earn-Out Target”).

•        The Escrow Agent shall hold the other 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares until the later of (A) the Anniversary Release Date and (B) the date on which the last sale price of the common stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period following the Closing (the “Second Earn-Out Target”).

In the event that neither the First Earn-Out Target Release Notice nor the Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice is delivered on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Escrow Agent shall release all the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares to the Company for cancellation for no consideration. In the event that the Second Earn-Out Target Release Notice is not delivered (and the First Earn-Out Target Release Notice has been delivered) on or prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing, then the Escrow Agent shall release 50% of the Sponsor Earn-Out Escrow Shares to the Company for cancellation for no consideration.

At the Closing, the Company entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement (the “Registration Rights and Lockup Agreement”) with stockholders of Microvast prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the affiliates of certain former investors in our subsidiary Microvast Power System (Houzhou) Co. Ltd., the Sponsor and certain officers and directors of the Company. Subject to certain exceptions, the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement provides (1) Yang Wu will be subject to a lock-up of one year post-Closing with respect to 25% of his shares of common stock and a lock-up of two years for the remaining 75% of his shares of common stock, provided that, with respect to the 25% of his shares subject to the one-year lock-up, he can sell those shares if the shares trade at $15.00 or above for 20 days in any 30-day period, (2) the Microvast equity holders other than Yang Wu are subject to a six-month lock-up post-Closing, and (3) with respect to the shares of common stock owned by the Sponsor, certain officers and officers of the Company and their affiliates (collectively, the “Sponsor Group”) (a) 50% of such shares are subject to a one-year lock-up post-Closing unless the shares trade at $12.50 or above for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period and (b) the remaining 50% of such shares are subject to a two-year lock-up post-Closing.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The shares of Common Stock covered by this reoffer prospectus are being registered by the Company for the account of the Selling Securityholders. The shares of Common Stock offered may be sold from time to time directly by or on behalf of each Selling Securityholder in one or more transactions on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed at the time of sale, in privately negotiated transactions, or through a combination of such methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at fixed prices (which may be changed) or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may sell shares through one or more agents, brokers or dealers or directly to purchasers. Such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Securityholders and/or purchasers of the shares or both. Such compensation as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions.

In connection with their sales, a Selling Securityholder and any participating broker or dealer may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive and the proceeds of any sale of shares may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. Any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the Selling Securityholders or other party selling such shares. Sales of the shares must be made by the Selling Securityholders in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and regulations, including the Securities Act. In addition to any shares sold hereunder, Selling Securityholders may sell shares of Common Stock in compliance with Rule 144. There is no assurance that the Selling Securityholders will sell all or a portion of the Common Stock offered hereby. The Selling Securityholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We have notified the Selling Securityholders of the need to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus in connection with any sale of the shares.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Common Stock and activities of the Selling Securityholders, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in passive market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. Passive market making involves transactions in which a market maker acts as both our underwriter and as a purchaser of our Common Stock in the secondary market. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of Common Stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

(a)       the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on June 1, 2021;

(b)       the Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on June 2, 2021, and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as filed with the SEC on August 17, 2021;

(c)       the description of the Registrant’s Common Stock contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A, as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2021 (File No. 333-258978), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description; and

(d)       all other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) since the end of the fiscal year covered by the current report referred to in the first bullet above; providedhowever, that the foregoing shall not include the incorporation by reference of any information furnished pursuant to Items 2.02, 7.01 or 9.01 of Form 8-K.

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents, except that information deemed to have been furnished and not filed shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is, or is deemed to be, incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.

Item 4.Description of Securities.

Not applicable.

Item 5.Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

Item 6.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended, authorizes the Registrant to indemnify any director or officer under certain prescribed circumstances and subject to certain limitations against certain costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which a person is a party by reason of being one of our directors or officers if it is determined that such person acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provisions. 

   

 

The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that its officers and directors are indemnified by the Registrant to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that its directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the Registrant or its stockholders for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

The Registrant’s Bylaws permit it to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent of the Registrant for any liability arising out of his or her actions, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit such indemnification. The Registrant has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures the Registrant against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors. These agreements require the Registrant to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to the Registrant, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling 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.

Item 7.Exemption from Registration Claimed.

The shares being reoffered and resold pursuant to the Reoffer Prospectus were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 701 promulgated thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering or pursuant to a written compensatory benefit plan.

Item 9.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; 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) and (a)(1)(ii) 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 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.

(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.

(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.
