Information contained herein is subject to completion or amendment. A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement becomes effective.

Common Shares

 

 

This offering (the “Offering”) is the initial public offering of common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Docebo Inc. (the “Company”, “Docebo”, “us”, “we” or “our”) in the United States and a new issue of Common Shares in Canada by the Company. This preliminary prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”), together with the accompanying short form base shelf prospectus dated October 22, 2020 (the “Shelf Prospectus”), qualifies the distribution of                  Common Shares (the “Offered Shares”) at a price of US$                 per Common Share (the “Offering Price”).

The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “DCBO”. On November 30, 2020, the last trading day before the filing of this Prospectus Supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was C$67.69 or US$52.21 (based on the daily exchange rate for the U.S. dollar in terms of Canadian dollars, as quoted by the Bank of Canada, of C$1.00 = US$0.7713).

Notes: (1)   The Offering Price was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters (as defined herein), with reference to the then-current market price for the Common Shares on the TSX.
(2)   Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined herein), and in consideration of the services rendered by the Underwriters in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters will receive an aggregate fee (the “Underwriters’ Fee”) of US$                , representing         % of the gross proceeds from the Offering. For additional information regarding underwriter compensation, see “Plan of Distribution”.
(3)   After deducting the Underwriters’ Fee payable by the Company, but before deducting expenses in respect of the Offering to be paid by the Company, estimated to be approximately US$                 (exclusive of all applicable taxes).
(4)   The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”), exercisable in whole or in part for a period of 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to an additional                  Common Shares at the Offering Price, less the Underwriters’ Fee, on the same terms as set forth above solely to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. If the Over-Allotment Option is exercised in full, the total price to the public, the Underwriters’ Fee and net proceeds to the Company (before deducting expenses of the Offering) will be US$                , US$                 and US$                , respectively. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Investing in the Common Shares involves significant risk. Prospective investors should consider the risks outlined in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Shelf Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “SEC”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY U.S. REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAVE THESE AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

This Offering is made in the United States by a foreign issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted in the United States and Canada, to prepare this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”), and may be subject to foreign auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of Common Shares may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, Canada or the United States may not be described fully herein. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under and governed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), that most of its directors and officers reside principally in Canada, that some or all of the Underwriters or experts named in the Registration Statement (as defined herein) may be residents of a foreign country, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and said persons may be located outside the United States. See “Enforcement of Civil Liabilities”.

The Offering is being made concurrently in Canada under the terms of this Prospectus Supplement and in the United States under the terms of the Company’ s registration statement on Form F-10 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC.

All dollar amounts in this Prospectus Supplement are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated. See “Currency Presentation and Exchange Rate Information”.

The Offered Shares are being offered in Canada by Morgan Stanley Canada Limited, Goldman Sachs Canada Inc. and Canaccord Genuity Corp. (collectively, the “Canadian Underwriters”) and in the United States by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Canaccord Genuity LLC (collectively, the “U.S. Underwriters”, and together with the Canadian Underwriters, the “Underwriters”) pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated                , 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”). See “Plan of Distribution”.

The Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering of the Offered Shares as described in this Prospectus Supplement. See “Use of Proceeds”.

The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares qualified under this Prospectus Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus, subject to prior sale, when, as and if delivered by the Company to the Underwriters and accepted by them subject to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, as described under “Plan of Distribution”.

Certain legal matters relating to Canadian law with respect to the Offering will be passed on our behalf by Goodmans LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Stikeman Elliott LLP. Certain legal matters relating to United States law with respect to the Offering will be passed upon on the Company’s behalf by Cooley LLP and on behalf of the Underwriters by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. See “Legal Matters”.


Table of Contents

Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with this Offering, over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. After the Underwriters have made reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares to the public at prices lower than the Offering Price. See “Plan of Distribution”.

The Company has applied to list the Offered Shares and                 additional Common Shares to be issued by the Company if the Over-Allotment Option (as defined herein) is exercised in full (the “Additional Shares”) on the TSX and has applied to list the Offered Shares, the Additional Shares and its outstanding Common Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ( “Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “DCBO”. Listing is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX and Nasdaq, respectively.

Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the right is reserved to close the subscription books at any time without notice. Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about                     , 2020 (the “Closing Date”), or such earlier or later date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, but in any event no later than                    , 2020.

It is expected that the Company will arrange for the instant deposit of the Offered Shares under the book-based system of registration, to be registered to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee and deposited with DTC on the Closing Date, or as may otherwise be agreed to among the Company and the Underwriters. In the case of certain Canadian purchasers, we may alternatively arrange for the electronic deposit of the Offered Shares distributed under the Offering under the book-based system of registration, to be registered in the name of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“CDS”) or its nominee and deposited with CDS on the Closing Date. No certificates evidencing the Offered Shares will be issued to purchasers of the Offered Shares. Purchasers of the Offered Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriter or other registered dealer from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Offered Shares is purchased. See “Plan of Distribution”.

This Prospectus Supplement is deemed to be incorporated by reference into the Shelf Prospectus solely for the purpose of this Offering.

Neither the Company nor the Underwriters has authorized any person to provide readers with information different from that contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus (or incorporated by reference herein or therein). Neither we nor the Underwriters take responsibility for, or can provide any assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give readers of this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus. If the description of the Offered Shares or any other information varies between this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein), the information in this Prospectus Supplement supersedes the information in the accompanying Shelf Prospectus or documents incorporated by reference herein or therein.

Readers should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, unless otherwise noted herein or as required by law. It should be assumed that the information appearing in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Shelf Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are accurate only as of their respective dates.

We do not undertake to update the information contained or incorporated by reference herein or in the Shelf Prospectus, except as required by applicable securities laws. Information contained on, or otherwise accessed through, our website, www.docebo.com, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Shelf Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference herein or therein and such information is not incorporated by reference herein or therein and prospective investors should not rely on such information when deciding whether or not to invest in the Offered Shares.

This Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein include certain terms or performance measures that are not defined under or not prepared in accordance with IFRS, such as annual recurring revenue, free cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate our operating performance. The data presented is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS measures should be read in conjunction with the financial statements incorporated by reference herein. For a description of the methodology used to calculate these non-IFRS measures, see “Non-IFRS Measures and Key Metrics” in this Prospectus Supplement and “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in our Interim MD&A (as defined herein), filed on November 12, 2020, incorporated by reference herein.

In this Prospectus Supplement, unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts and references to “$” and “US$” are to U.S. dollars and references to “C$” are to Canadian dollars. This Prospectus Supplement, the Shelf Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, contain translations of certain U.S. dollar amounts into Canadian dollars solely for your convenience. See “Currency Presentation and Exchange Rate Information.

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Prospectus Supplement assumes or reflects no exercise of the Over-Allotment Option, no exercise of outstanding stock options and no vesting and settlement of deferred share units. The Company has not granted any restricted share units or performance share units.

This Prospectus Supplement does not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities offered by this Prospectus Supplement by any person in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such an offer or solicitation.

U.S. REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The Offering is being made concurrently in Canada pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus and in the United States pursuant to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”). This Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Shelf Prospectus do not contain all of the information set forth in the Registration Statement, certain items of which are contained in the exhibits to the Registration Statement as permitted or required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

MARKETING MATERIALS

Before filing the final prospectus supplement in respect of the Offering, Docebo and the Underwriters intend to hold road shows that potential investors in the United States and in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada will be able to attend.

In doing so, Docebo and the Underwriters are relying on a provision in applicable Canadian securities legislation that allows issuers in certain U.S. cross-border offerings to not have to file marketing materials relating to those road shows on SEDAR or include or incorporate by reference those marketing materials in the final prospectus supplement in respect of the offering. To rely on this exemption, Docebo and the Underwriters must give contractual rights to Canadian investors in the event the marketing materials contain a misrepresentation.

Accordingly, the Underwriters, in signing the certificate to be contained in the final prospectus supplement, and Docebo, in signing the certificate contained in the Shelf Prospectus, in respect of the Offering have agreed that in the event the marketing materials relating to the road shows described above contain a misrepresentation (as defined in securities legislation in each of the provinces and territories of Canada), a purchaser resident in a province or territory of Canada who was provided with those marketing materials in connection with the road shows and who purchases Offered Shares under the final prospectus supplement in respect of the Offering during the period of distribution shall have, without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation, rights against Docebo and each such Underwriter with respect to the misrepresentation which are equivalent to the rights under the securities legislation of the jurisdiction of Canada where the purchaser is resident, subject to the defences, limitations and other terms of that legislation, as if the misrepresentation was contained in the final prospectus supplement in respect of the Offering.

However, this contractual right does not apply (i) to the extent that the contents of the marketing materials relating to the road shows have been modified or superseded by a statement in the final prospectus supplement in respect of this Offering, and (ii) to any “comparables” as such term is defined in National Instrument 41-101—General Prospectus Requirements in the marketing materials provided in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES AND KEY METRICS

This Prospectus Supplement makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures, including free cash flow and key performance metrics used by management and typically used by our competitors. These measures are not recognized measures under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and are therefore not necessarily comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Rather, these measures are provided as additional information to complement those IFRS measures by providing further understanding of our results of operations from management’s perspective. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our financial information reported under IFRS. These non-IFRS measures and metrics are used to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance and liquidity and thus highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS measures. We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures, including industry metrics, in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Management also uses non-IFRS measures and industry metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, the preparation of annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. See “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” in our Annual MD&A and our Interim MD&A, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Table of Contents

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus Supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” as defined within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking information”). Forward-looking information may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include information regarding our financial position, business strategy, the impact of COVID-19 on our business, growth strategies, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, information regarding the intention of the Company to complete the Offering on the terms and conditions described herein, the listing of the Offered Shares, the proposed use of proceeds thereof, the impact of COVID-19 on the business and the Company’s statements regarding the Company’s business and the environment in which it operates, is forward-looking information.

In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projects” or “believes”, “pro forma” or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will”, “occur” or “be achieved” and similar words or the negative thereof. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances.

This forward-looking information is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Despite a careful process to prepare and review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Certain assumptions include: our ability to build our market share and enter new markets and industry verticals; our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to maintain and expand geographic scope; our ability to execute on our expansion plans; our ability to continue investing in infrastructure to support our growth; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; our ability to execute on profitability initiatives; currency exchange and interest rates; the impact of competition; the effectiveness of mitigation strategies undertaken with respect to COVID-19, and the severity, duration and impacts of COVID-19 on the economy and Docebo’s business, which is highly uncertain and cannot reasonably be predicted; our ability to respond to the changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; and the changes in laws, rules, regulations, and global standards are material factors made in preparing forward-looking information and management’s expectations.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that, while considered by the Company to be appropriate and reasonable as of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to:

 

   

the Company’s ability to execute its growth strategies;

 

   

the impact of changing conditions in the global corporate e-learning market;

 

   

increasing competition in the global corporate e-learning market in which the Company operates;

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates and volatility in financial markets;

 

   

the extent of the impact of COVID-19 and measures taken to contain the virus on our results of operations and overall financial performance;

 

   

changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand of our target market;

 

   

developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; and

 

   

such other factors discussed in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus Supplement and in the Annual Information Form available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail in “Risk Factors” should be considered carefully by prospective investors.

 

S-6


Table of Contents

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject.

DOCEBO INC.

The Company was incorporated under the OBCA on April 21, 2016 as Docebo Canada Inc. and all of the pre-existing operations of Docebo (primarily Docebo S.p.A. and Docebo NA, Inc.) were organized under the newly incorporated company. On October 1, 2019, the Company changed its name to “Docebo Inc.”. Since incorporation, the Company has focused on development its platform and growing its sales and marketing to expand its customer base.

On October 8, 2019, Docebo completed its initial public offering in Canada (the “IPO”) and its Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX on that date under the symbol “DCBO”.

Docebo’s mission is to redefine the way enterprises, including their internal and external workforce, partners and customers, learn by applying new technologies to the traditional corporate learning management system (“LMS”) market. Docebo provides an easy-to-use, highly configurable and affordable learning platform with the end-to-end capabilities and critical functionality needed to train both internal and external workforces, partners and customers. The Company’s solution allows its customers to take control of their desired training strategies and retain institutional knowledge, while providing efficient course delivery, advanced reporting tools and analytics. Docebo’s robust platform helps its customers centralize a broad range of learning materials from peer enterprises and learners into one LMS to expedite and enrich the learning process, increase productivity and grow teams uniformly.

With over 400 employees across six global offices, Docebo sells its products in approximately 69 countries and empowers over 2,000 companies and approximately 9.5 million registered learners. Of our US$16.1 million of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2020, approximately 72% originates from customers in North America, with the remainder coming primarily from Europe and a small component coming from the rest of the world. Our customers are diversified across various industries including technology and media (Thomson Reuters Corporation, Pearson Plc, HP Inc. and Amazon Web Services, Inc.), consulting and professional services (Newcross Healthcare Solutions, Experian PLC, Randstad NV and lastminute.com) and manufacturing and retail (L’Oréal S.A., Heineken NV, BRF S.A., BMW AG and Denny’s Corporation). Our platform has won numerous awards and industry recognitions from Brandon Hall Group, including the Best Advance in Learning Management Technology and Best Advance in Mobile Learning Technology awarded in 2018 and 2019, Software Review and PCMAG.com.

Industry Background

The corporate LMS market is a subset of the global corporate e-learning market. According to Reports Monitor, the global corporate e-learning market is projected to reach approximately US$29.9 billion in revenue by the end of 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 21.1% between 2019 and 2025.

Enterprises are increasingly seeing a correlation between providing effective ongoing learning opportunities to employees and improved productivity, higher retention rates and overall employee engagement and work satisfaction. As a result, both global and mid-market enterprises are starting to recognize that e-learning is an integral part of their overall business strategy, driven by changing business needs and technological advancements. We believe the positive impacts to productivity and employee retention within an enterprise following implementation of corporate e-learning solutions have now allowed for these solutions to be considered increasingly core to an enterprise’s operations and productivity, similar to the early stages of adoption for Customer Relationship Management (“CRM”), Business Intelligence, Collaboration, Supply Chain Management and other Office Productivity software systems. According to IDC, the CRM market nearly doubled in size from approximately $8.8 billion in 2004 to $15.5 billion in 2009, then grew more than double again to $37.1 billion in 2017.

Re-Thinking the Traditional LMS

Learning technology has evolved from simple LMS, designed to host, deliver, track and manage learning content, to secure, cloud-based systems offering new learning functionalities like social learning, learning on the job and communities of practice/workgroups designed to drive organizational performance.

There is now wide acceptance of learning technology across enterprises and industries and a renewed focus on driving efficient and effective learning outcomes by leveraging new technologies and methodologies. The e-learning industry is also seeing a shift away from traditional content delivery, placing an increased emphasis around social learning.

Social Learning

Social learning is the practice of people learning from one another, through sharing, observation, imitation and modeling. According to the 702010 Institute, 70% of workplace learning is informal, social learning from on-the-job experience; 20% is from coaching, mentoring and interaction with peers; and only 10% is from formal learning. By promoting natural social interactions and collaborative behaviors, social learning encourages higher learner engagement and productivity.

Social and collaborative learning tools have become a top priority among enterprises globally, as they seek to facilitate employee engagement and collaboration. Enterprises support the sharing of internally-produced, learner-generated knowledge through the use of in-house social sharing tools. Social learning, coupled with mobile delivery and data analytics tools used to drive such learning, allows for the deployment of targeted and effective learning programs.

Mobile Learning

According to eLearning Industry, mobile learning is currently being used by nearly 47% of enterprises globally as a tool to provide real-time, anywhere, on-the-job training. According to Paycom, the ease of use of these solutions is expected to increase employee workplace engagement and performance, and should lead to greater employee retention. Accessing learning applications on a mobile device gives a learner more opportunities to learn on the go, replacing the desktop as the primary e-learning device.

A Shift to AI-Powered Administrative and Learner Experiences

We believe that leveraging AI to perform administrative tasks and personalize the learning experience is the future of LMS. In particular, AI can enable the automatic execution of certain administrative activities, allowing employees to be redeployed to handle more complex tasks.

The accommodation of personal preferences and learning styles for each learner is enhanced by AI as machine learning algorithms can perform better than humans at predicting outcomes. Upon implementation, this enables LMS platforms to provide specific content based on a learner’s past performance and individual goals.

When a skills gap is identified, targeted recommendations can be provided in a more personalized format than may be possible without the use of AI. For example, the system may recognize that a learner has the ability to skip certain modules since they already possess certain skills. By skipping certain modules, the learner can take a more comprehensive and less linear learning approach than someone who might lack the basic skills related to a particular topic, yielding more effective and efficient learning outcomes overall.

Our Solutions

Our cloud platform currently consists of seven interrelated modules: (i) “Docebo Learn”, (ii) “Docebo Discover, Coach & Share”, (iii) “Docebo Extended Enterprise”, (iv) “Docebo Virtual Coach”, (v) “Docebo Mobile Pages”, (vi) “Docebo Discover”, and (vii) “Docebo Learning Impact”.

 

   

Docebo Learn, our foundational module, helps learning administrators centralize, organize and distribute learning content, define and track certifications and measure results with customer reporting.

 

   

Docebo Discover, Coach & Share enhances the learning experience providing personalized curated content and access to social learning by encouraging the sharing of knowledge through formal, social, interactive and experiential learning across the organization.

Docebo Learning Impact allows administrators to capture qualitative data and feedback to determine the effectiveness of their learning strategies, understand the retention of knowledge, and incorporate the feedback loop to measure return on learning.

Additional products within our platform include: “Docebo for Salesforce”, “Docebo Embed (OEM)” and “Docebo Mobile App Publisher”. Docebo for Salesforce is a native integration that leverages Salesforce’s API and technology architecture to produce a learning experience that remains uniform no matter the use-case. Docebo Embed (OEM) eliminates disjointed learner experiences, long development cycles and ineffective partner models by allowing original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) to embed and re-sell Docebo as a part of their software, including HCM, risk management and retail/hospitality SaaS product suites. Docebo’s Mobile App Publisher product allows companies to create their own branded version of the award-winning “Docebo Go.Learn” mobile learning application and publish it as their own in Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store or in their own Apple Store for Enterprise.

The modules and capabilities of our platform interconnect to deliver a holistic value proposition that has contributed to our success in the market, including the ability to:

 

   

Achieve high personalization to support multiple use cases via the Docebo Configuration Engine

 

   

Generate revenue by training customers and partners via Docebo Extended Enterprise

 

   

Enable social learning and allow for learning content to be user generated via Coach & Share

Prior to July 1, 2020, Docebo offered two plans: “Growth” and “Enterprise”, which were designed to meet the current and future needs of our customers, depending on each customer’s number of active learners, features needed, services available and approach to adopting learning technologies. In the third quarter of 2020, we decided to stop offering the “Growth” plan to new customers and existing customers already contracted under the “Growth” plan have the ability to transition to a new “Enterprise” plan over a specified period of time. The updated “Enterprise” plan is marketed to enterprises with at least 300 active learners. Docebo’s primary target market is comprised of (i) mid-market enterprises (“MMEs”) that use Docebo in individual divisions or as a global learning platform across their entire enterprise and (ii) divisions of larger enterprises for both internal and external use cases. The enterprises in our primary target market are broadly defined as having between 500 and 10,000 active users.

Customer Case Studies

The following are examples of current customers who have used Docebo’s solutions to enhance their organizational learning experience and some of the benefits that they have reported. The following case studies are historical examples and are not indicative of future results. The case studies are illustrative of the use of our products and services by these particular customers, but are not necessarily indicative of results that have been or will be achieved by any other customers or the effectiveness of our products and services in general.

TÜV Rheinland

TÜV Rheinland is one of the world’s leading testing service providers. TÜV Rheinland wanted to fully digitize their training offering across their over 20,000 customers globally, increase their revenue streams and use reporting to better understand their customers. With the help of Docebo, TÜV Rheinland was able to create 3,037 courses and a successful web shop in just four months. This represented a 36% increase in courses offered and a 431% increase in learning objects, significantly deepening the learning capabilities and content delivered by the company. The courses reached customers across 26 countries in 11 different languages and drove a 46% increase in active users. We defined “active user” as an end user that accessed our software services and any online course during a billing period, regardless of the number of accesses during such billing period, the number of courses accessed during such billing period, or whether or not the end user completes the online course.

Samsung

The Samsung Group (“Samsung”) is a South Korea-based multinational conglomerate. Samsung was looking for a learning platform for its in-store salespeople across the Baltics that would provide continuously updated product information and act as a social hub for the sales community. Docebo’s platform enabled over 1,100 users in the region to complete learning material in three languages. Full mobile device accessibility allowed salespeople to access information while on the shop floor, driving 35% adoption of the Docebo Mobile App. The community was also able to add over 200 user-submitted assets, referring to learner-generated content such as screen recordings or videos, which helped lighten the load on administrators and encourage more community insights.

Hawk-Eye

Hawk-Eye Innovations Ltd. (“Hawk-Eye”) is a global sports officiating technology and services provider. The Hawk-Eye team was looking for a more engaging and accessible alternative to Google Drive for sharing learning content that would keep up with the company’s fast pace of technological development. Docebo’s platform enabled the Hawk- Eye team to quickly share feedback on technical or onsite issues with each other and easily critique, dissect and improve operations that were not meeting expectations. Hawk-Eye saw 47,000 enrollments in just seven months with 430 average active users per month and over 750 onsite video reviews of key officiating incidents submitted.

Litera Microsystems

Litera Microsystems (“Litera”) is a leading document technology company in the legal and life sciences industry. Having gone through six prior LMS implementations, Litera was looking for a platform with an active social learning hub that would intuitively enable user-generated content and accurately track learners’ understanding of material presented. Docebo’s solution offered simple customization, scalability, and Single-Sign-On (SSO) capabilities with a quick implementation window of four months, all of which were critical for the Litera team. Since implementation, there have been over 3,200 enrollments and over 1,200 course completions on the platform.

Growth Strategy

Our goal is to continue growing our business to become the leading provider of cloud-based subscription software applications to enterprises looking for innovative ways to train internal and external workforces, partners and customers as well as retain talent. By doing so, we enable our customers to efficiently and profitably recruit, develop and retain their workforces over time and provide them with a competitive advantage. We are focused on expanding our platform capabilities and features and intend to continue increasing our revenue by pursuing a growth strategy that includes the elements noted below.

Grow Enterprise Customer Base

We continue to build our direct sales force to take advantage of the growing demand for corporate learning solutions. We have significantly expanded our direct sales force to focus on MMEs and divisions of larger enterprises and have aligned our sales team’s compensation structure to fit this objective. In addition to expanding our sales force, we have also been able to drive substantial increases in the productivity and effectiveness of our sales personnel over time.

Land-and-Expand (Expansion Within Existing Customer Accounts)

We use a “land-and-expand” strategy to grow sales within businesses, beginning with either departmental deployments or individual learners. Currently, within any one customer account, individual employees, human resource and/or technical departments use our platform. Over the past two years we have increasingly concentrated on improving our efforts to up-sell our products within our existing customer base and we are beginning to yield positive results.

Artificial Intelligence

We believe the deployment of AI into our platform is critical to our ability to scale and differentiate our business over time. By expanding the use-cases of our key algorithms, we believe we can efficiently develop a platform and

tools that can evolve to increasingly automate time-consuming administrative functions. One example would be automated course building using available public and private content, significantly reducing the cost and time associated with creating learning content. The people analytics tool, as another example, is expected to provide learning-based data analytics and easy to use reporting, providing customers with support educated decision-making tools. Through the implementation of AI into our products, we believe that the nature and scope of learner interaction on our platform will expand considerably.

Build New Products

We have integrated several new features into our cloud-based technology learning platform, including social learning, training delivery and tracking and learning impact evaluation. We intend to continue to add features to our platform over time, including content catalogs and people analytics, which we believe will provide us the opportunity to generate more revenue from new and existing customers.

Opportunistic Acquisitions

While inorganic growth has not been part of our historical strategy, we selectively consider strategic acquisitions, investments and other relationships that we believe are consistent with our strategy and can significantly enhance the attractiveness of our technology platform or expand our end-markets. This may include acquisitions of teams and capabilities that will not immediately add to revenue, but serve to benefit the long-term growth of the Company.

In October 2020, we completed our first acquisition of forMetris Société par Actions Simplifiée (“forMetris”), a leading SaaS-based learning impact evaluation platform based in Paris, France This acquisition provides us with a leading learning impact solution and a physical presence in France. See “Docebo Inc. – Recent Developments”.

OEMs & Strategic Alliances

We continue to seek and develop relationships with third-party enterprises that offer differentiated and value-added channels to reach new customer accounts and existing customers. These may include independent referral or bidding relationships, reciprocal sub-contracting, one-off projects or certain “white labelling” applications.

Geographic Expansion

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020, approximately 72% of our revenue came from customers based in North America. We see a significant opportunity to expand our reach into other regions, with a focus on Europe primarily, as well as the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in Australia and New Zealand. We have registered learners in over 69 countries globally as of September 30, 2020 and continue to expand our sales teams in both Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to further address these large markets.

Competition

While we do not believe that any vendor offers the same value proposition and integrated capabilities as Docebo, the learning and professional skill development market is rapidly evolving, fragmented and highly competitive. According to the Fosway Group, Docebo is ranked as one of the highest-performing LMS amongst its competitors that offer products at a similarly mid-range cost of ownership.

We expect to face continued competition in the future as competitors bundle new and more comprehensive offerings with their existing products and services, and as new products and product enhancements are introduced into the e-learning market.

We believe that the principal competitive factors in our market include flexibility and scalability across multiple use cases, platform features and functionality, reliability and uptime, scalability, learner experience, brand, service and support for learners and staff, collaboration and engagement, software integration and third-party publisher partnerships, accessibility across several devices, operating systems and applications, data analytics, continued innovation and application of AI capabilities.

Operating and Financial Performance Highlights

Since Docebo received its initial investment from Intercap Equity Inc. (together with Intercap Financial Inc., “Intercap”) and Klass.com Subsidiary LLC in 2015, our business has experienced significant growth coupled with robust performance across key operating and financial metrics. The number of customers using Docebo’s platform has increased from approximately 900 in 2016 to over 2,000 as of September 30, 2020, growing approximately 33% in 2017, 17% in 2018, 21% in 2019 and 18% in 2020 year to date. Our revenue has grown from $9.9 million in 2016 to $56.5 million for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, with recurring revenue growing at a CAGR of 58% during this period. Our revenue mix has increasingly shifted towards multi-year contracts, with 76% of our Annual Recurring Revenue represented by enterprise customers under multi-year contracts as of September 30, 2020. Since 2016, our business has only required a cumulative $16 million of cash flow investment, which we believe speaks to the capital efficiency and scalability of our business model.

support and maintenance fees. Our customers generally enter into one to three year contracts that are noncancelable or cancellable with penalty. All the customer contracts, including those for one-year terms, automatically renew unless cancelled by our customers. Accordingly, our calculation of Annual Recurring Revenue assumes that customers will renew the contractual commitments on a periodic basis as those commitments come up for renewal. Subscription agreements are subject to price increases upon renewal reflecting both inflationary increases and the additional value provided by our solutions. In addition to the expected increase in subscription revenue from price increases over time, existing customers may subscribe for additional features, learners or services during the term. We believe that this measure provides a fair real-time measure of performance in a subscription-based environment. Annual Recurring Revenue provides us with visibility for consistent and predictable growth to our cash flows. Our strong total revenue growth coupled with increasing Annual Recurring Revenue indicates the continued strength in the expansion of our business and will continue to be our target on a go-forward basis. See “Non-IFRS Measures and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures—Key Performance Indicators” in our Annual MD&A and our Interim MD&A, which are incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Offered Shares involves risks. Before purchasing the Offered Shares, prospective investors should carefully consider the information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this Prospectus Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus, including, without limitation, the risk factors identified in our Interim MD&A, incorporated by reference into this Prospectus Supplement and under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Information Form also incorporated by reference herein. If any event arising from these risks occurs, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or your investment in the Offered Shares could be materially adversely affected.

Natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events may adversely affect our business, operating results or financial position.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and other adverse weather and climate conditions; unforeseen public health crises such as the recent global outbreak of COVID-19, and other pandemics and epidemics; political crises, such as terrorist attacks, war, and other political instability; or other catastrophic events, could disrupt our operations in any of our offices or the operations of one or more of our third-party providers and vendors. To the extent any of these events occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. For example, the outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and will likely continue to adversely affect, our employees and customers. However, the impact of COVID-19, with its combined health toll and sharp decline in global economic output, is unprecedented and the full extent of the impact will depend on future developments. These developments are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning its severity, its duration and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or manage its impact. In response to the pandemic, we have modified our business practices with a focus on the health and well-being of our workforce both in Europe and North America. All of our offices currently remain closed with employees working remotely. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 and measures taken to contain the virus on our results of operations and overall financial performance remains uncertain.

Management of the Company will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds to the Company of the Offering.

We cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of the net proceeds we will receive from the Offering. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in “Use of Proceeds”. Accordingly, a purchaser of Offered Shares will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of the proceeds, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that our shareholders might not desire, that might not yield a favourable return and that might not increase the value of a purchaser’s investment. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Notably, we have in the past made, and in the future may make, acquisitions and investments that could divert management’s attention, result in operating difficulties and dilution to our shareholders and otherwise disrupt our operations and adversely affect our business, operating results or financial position, and involve other risks and uncertainties outlined in this Prospectus Supplement, the accompanying Shelf Prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds of the Offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

Our Common Shares do not currently trade on a stock exchange in the United States and we do not know whether a market for the Common Shares will develop to provide you with adequate liquidity.

Our Common Shares are currently listed only on the TSX. Prior to this Offering, the Common Shares have not been listed on a stock exchange in the United States. We have applied to list our Common Shares on Nasdaq in connection with this Offering. However, if an active trading market does not develop in the United States, you may have difficulty selling any of the Common Shares that you buy over a U.S. exchange. We cannot predict the extent to which investor interest in the Company will lead to the development of an active trading market on the Nasdaq or otherwise, or how liquid that market might become. The price of the Common Shares in this Offering may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the United States trading market or otherwise following the Offering. Listing of

our Common Shares on the Nasdaq in addition to the TSX may increase price volatility on the TSX and also result in volatility of the trading price on the Nasdaq because trading will be in two markets, which may result in less liquidity on both exchanges. In addition, different liquidity levels, volumes of trading, currencies and market conditions on the two exchanges may result in different prevailing trading prices.

There is no guarantee that the Common Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term.

A holding of Common Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. A holding of Common Shares is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.

The Company may sell additional Common Shares or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares in subsequent offerings or may issue additional Common Shares or other securities to finance future acquisitions.

The Company cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that such future sales and issuances will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Shares or other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest in the Company. Furthermore, to the extent holders of the Company’s stock options or other convertible securities convert or exercise their securities and sell the Common Shares they receive, the trading price of the Common Shares may decrease due to the additional amount of Common Shares available in the market.

The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

The factors which may contribute to market price fluctuations of the Common Shares include the following:

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly results of operations;

 

   

recommendations by securities research analysts;

 

   

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which the Company operates;

 

   

addition to or departure of the Company’s executive officers, directors and other key personnel;

 

   

release or expiration of transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares (including Common Shares subject to lock-up restrictions);

 

   

sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares;

 

   

operating and financial performance that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

 

   

regulatory changes affecting the Company’s industry generally and its business and operations;

 

   

announcements of developments and other material events by the Company or its competitors;

 

   

fluctuations to the costs of vital production materials and services;

 

   

changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates;

 

   

significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors;

 

   

litigation or regulatory action against us;

 

   

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company or from a lack of market comparable companies;

news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the Company’s industry or target markets; and

 

   

current and future global economic, political and social conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company has not declared and paid dividends in the past and may not declare and pay dividends in the future, and consequently, purchasers in the Offering may never receive a return on their investment.

Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Company’s board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the Common Shares unless they sell their Common Shares for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of Common Shares by existing shareholders or by us, or future dilutive issuances of Common Shares by us, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, sales of a substantial number of Common Shares in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the market perception that the holders of a large number of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares intend to sell Common Shares, could reduce the prevailing market price of our Common Shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future public sales of these securities or the availability of these securities for sale will have on the market price of our Common Shares. If the market price of our Common Shares were to drop as a result, this might impede our ability to raise additional capital and might cause remaining shareholders to lose all or part of their investment.

Following the consummation of this Offering, the Company, all directors and officers of the Company and their affiliated shareholders, including Intercap Equity Inc., which beneficially held approximately 57% of our Common Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2020, will be subject to “lock-up” restrictions, as described under “Plan of Distribution”. The applicable Underwriters might waive the provisions of these “lock-up” restrictions and allow the Company to, among other things, issue additional Common Shares, or allow the directors and officers of the Company and their affiliated shareholders to sell their Common Shares at any time. There are no pre-established conditions for the grant of such a waiver by the applicable Underwriters, and any decision by the applicable Underwriters to waive those conditions may depend on a number of factors, which might include market conditions, the performance of our Common Shares in the market and our financial condition at that time. If the “lock-up” restrictions of the Company are waived, additional Common Shares will be issued, and if the “lock-up” restrictions of the directors and officers of the Company are waived, additional Common Shares will be available for sale into the public market, subject to applicable securities laws, which, in both cases, could reduce the prevailing market price for our Common Shares.

Moreover, Intercap, as principal shareholders of the Company, have the right, subject to the terms of the lock-up agreements discussed above, under the investor rights agreement dated October 8, 2019 among the Company and certain of its shareholders (as amended and supplemented, the “Investor Rights Agreement”) to require us to file a prospectus covering their registrable securities or to include their registrable securities in prospectuses or registration statements that we may file for ourselves or on behalf of either Intercap Equity Inc. or Intercap Financial Inc. See “Agreements with Retained Interest Holders—Investor Rights Agreement” in the Annual Information Form incorporated by reference herein. In connection with the Offering, we expect to enter into a letter agreement with Intercap pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement to provide Intercap with U.S. registration rights given that our Common Shares will now be listed on a U.S. stock exchange. See “Plan of Distribution—IRA Letter Agreement”. Intercap has also informed us that, in connection with a credit agreement, it has pledged certain of the Common Shares it holds. Enforcement against such collateral by Intercap’s creditor could materially adversely affect the price of our Common Shares.

In addition, certain holders of options and other share-based awards will have an immediate income inclusion for tax purposes when they exercise their options or when their other awards are share-settled (that is, tax is not deferred until they sell the underlying Common Shares). As a result, these holders may need to sell Common Shares purchased on the exercise of options or issued upon share settlement of share-based awards in the same year that they exercise

 

S-18


Table of Contents

their options or in which their share-based awards are share-settled. This might result in a greater number of Common Shares being sold in the public market, and reduced long-term holdings of Common Shares by our management and employees.

Our constating documents permit us to issue additional securities in the future, including Common Shares and preferred shares without additional shareholder approval.

Our restated articles of incorporation permit us to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. We anticipate that we will, from time to time, issue additional Common Shares in the future, including in connection with potential acquisitions. Subject to the requirements of the TSX and the Nasdaq, we will not be required to obtain the approval of shareholders for the issuance of additional Common Shares. Any further issuances of Common Shares will result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders and may have an adverse effect on the value of their shareholdings.

Our articles of amendment also permit us to issue an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series. While we have no present plans to issue any preferred shares, our board of directors has the authority to issue preferred shares and determine the price, designation, rights, (including voting and dividend rights), preferences, privileges, restrictions and conditions of such preferred shares and to determine to whom they shall be issued. Any issuance of preferred shares may result in further dilution to existing shareholders and have an adverse effect on the value of their shareholdings. We cannot foresee the terms and conditions of any future offerings of preferred shares nor the effect they may have on the market price of the Common Shares.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

Since the Offering Price is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Common Shares, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this Offering. Based on our public offering of                  Offered Shares at the Offering Price per Offered Share, after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee and the estimated expenses payable by us in connection with the Offering, and based on a net tangible book value of our Common Shares as of September 30, 2020, as adjusted to give effect to this Offering, if you purchase Offered Shares in this Offering, you will experience immediate dilution of US$                 per Common Share. The exercise of outstanding stock options and the settlement of outstanding restricted share units and performance share units could result in further dilution of your investment.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade our Common Shares, the price of our Common Shares could decline.

The trading market for our Common Shares depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the price of our Common Shares would likely decline. In addition, if our results of operations fail to meet the forecast of analysts, the price of our Common Shares would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our Common Shares could decrease, which might cause the price and trading volume of our Common Shares to decline.

We will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company in the United States, and our management will be required to devote substantial time to United States public company compliance efforts.

As a public company in the United States, we will incur additional legal, accounting, Nasdaq, reporting and other expenses that we did not incur as a public company in Canada. The additional demands associated with being a U.S. public company may disrupt regular operations of our business by diverting the attention of some of our senior management team away from revenue-producing activities to additional management and administrative oversight, adversely affecting our ability to attract and complete business opportunities and increasing the difficulty in both retaining professionals and managing and growing our business. Any of these effects could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If our efforts to comply with new United States laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, such regulatory bodies or third parties may initiate legal proceedings against us and

 

S-19


Table of Contents

our business may be adversely affected. As a public company in the United States, it is more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we will be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to continue our coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified directors.

The U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002, as amended (the “U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. Pursuant to Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“Section 404”), we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), which, if or when we are no longer an emerging growth company, must be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm.

To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. Despite our efforts, there is a risk that neither we nor our independent registered public accounting firm will be able to conclude within the prescribed timeframe that our ICFR is effective as required by Section 404. This could result in a determination that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, which could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements. In addition, in the event that we are not able to demonstrate compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that our internal control over financial reporting is perceived as inadequate, or that we are unable to produce timely or accurate financial statements, investors may lose confidence in our operating results and the price of our Common Shares may decline. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on the Nasdaq.

As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to our shareholders.

We are a “foreign private issuer” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act, and are permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare our disclosure documents filed under the Exchange Act in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Under the Exchange Act, we are subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we will not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we will be required to file or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We are also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we expect to comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive in every case the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies.

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We plan to rely on exemptions under Nasdaq listing standards from the requirement to have fully independent compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees, as defined under Nasdaq rules. In addition, we do not intend to follow the minimum quorum requirements for shareholder meetings as well as certain shareholder approval requirements prior to the issuance of securities under Nasdaq listing standards, as permitted for foreign private issuers. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all U.S. corporate governance requirements.

 

S-20


Table of Contents

Following the completion of the Offering, we may cease to qualify as a foreign private issuer. If we cease to qualify, we will be subject to the same reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements as a U.S. domestic issuer which may increase our costs of being a public company in the United States.

We will be relying on the one-year phase in period for our audit committee composition under Nasdaq and SEC rules.

Under Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules, we are required to have a fully independent audit committee, subject to limited exceptions and phase-in periods. Upon the closing of this offering, two of our three audit committee members will be independent under Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules for foreign private issuers. We intend to appoint one additional independent director to our audit committee to replace the non-independent director within one year following this offering pursuant to the applicable Nasdaq and SEC phase-in provisions for initial public offerings. During this phase-in period, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies of which the audit committee is fully independent. If, within the phase-in period, we are not able to appoint an additional director who is independent and would otherwise meet Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements, or otherwise comply with the Nasdaq listing requirements, we may be subject to enforcement actions by Nasdaq and our Common Shares may be subject to delisting.

We are an emerging growth company and intend to take advantage of reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, which could make our Common Shares less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2025 (the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; or (iv) the date we qualify as a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC, which means the market value of our Common Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter after we have been a reporting company in the United States for at least 12 months. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted to and intend to rely upon exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These exemptions include not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

We may take advantage of some, but not all, of the available exemptions available to emerging growth companies. We cannot predict whether investors will find our Common Shares less attractive if we rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Shares and the price of our Common Shares may be more volatile.

The Company is governed by the corporate and securities laws of Canada which in some cases have a different effect on shareholders than the corporate laws of Delaware, U.S. and U.S. securities laws.

The Company is governed by the OBCA and other relevant laws, which may affect the rights of shareholders differently than those of a company governed by the laws of a U.S. jurisdiction, and may, together with the Company’s constating documents, have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or may affect the price an acquiring party would be willing to offer in such an instance. The material differences between the OBCA and Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) that may have the greatest such effect include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) for material corporate transactions (such as mergers and amalgamations, other extraordinary corporate transactions or amendments to the Company’s articles) the OBCA generally requires a two-thirds majority vote by shareholders, whereas DGCL generally requires only a majority vote; and (ii) under the OBCA, holders of 5% or more of the Company’s shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting of shareholders can requisition a special meeting of shareholders, whereas such right does not exist under the DGCL.

We may incur additional costs to maintain legitimate means for our transfer and receipt of personal data from the EEA, or may be unable to maintain such legitimate means.

With regard to transfers to the U.S. of personal data (as such term is defined under the General Data Protection Regulation) from our European employees, customers and users, we relied until recently upon the EU—U.S. Privacy

Shield, as well as EU standard contractual clauses in certain circumstances. Both the EU—U.S. Privacy Shield and EU standard contractual clauses have been subject to legal challenge, resulting in the EU—U.S. Privacy Shield being recently invalidated by the Court of Justice of the European Union (the “CJEU”). While the validity of the EU standard contractual clauses was confirmed by the CJEU, the use of the standard clauses with respect to data transfers to the U.S. may be subject to further challenge. The U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission have initiated discussions to evaluate the potential for an enhanced EU—U.S. Privacy Shield framework that would comply with the CJEU decision; however, such an enhancement may not be created, or any such enhancement could be subject to further challenge before the European courts. Accordingly, we may experience reluctance or refusal by current or prospective European customers to use our products, and we may find it necessary or desirable to make further changes to our handling of personal data of EEA residents, including arrangements to store and process such data outside the U.S. We may also be unsuccessful in maintaining legitimate means for our transfer and receipt of personal data from the EEA. The regulatory environment applicable to the handling of EEA residents’ personal data, and our actions taken in response, may cause us to assume additional liabilities or incur additional costs, and could result in our business, operating results and financial condition being harmed. Additionally, should we continue to transfer the personal data of EEA residents to the U.S. without a General Data Protection Regulation-compliant solution, we and our customers may face a risk of enforcement actions by data protection authorities in the EEA relating to personal data transfers to us and by us from the EEA. Any such enforcement actions could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources, distract management and technical personnel and negatively affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

As the Company is a Canadian corporation and most of its directors and officers reside or are organized in Canada or the provinces thereof, it may be difficult for United States shareholders to effect service on the Company to realize on judgments obtained in the United States. Similarly, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to enforce civil liabilities against our directors and officers residing outside of Canada.

The Company is governed by the OBCA with its principal place of business in Canada, most of its directors and officers reside or are organized in Canada or the provinces thereof and the majority of the Company’s assets and the all or a substantial portion of the assets of these persons may be located outside the United States. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors who reside in the United States to effect service of process in the United States upon the Company or upon such persons who are not residents of the United States, or to realize upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. A judgment of a U.S. court predicated solely upon such civil liabilities may be enforceable in Canada by a Canadian court if the U.S. court in which the judgment was obtained had jurisdiction, as determined by the Canadian court, in the matter. Investors should not assume that Canadian courts: (i) would enforce judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against the Company or such persons predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws or the securities or blue sky laws of any state within the United States, or (ii) would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against the Company or such persons predicated upon the U.S. federal securities laws or any such state securities or blue sky laws. Similarly, some of the Company’s directors and officers are residents of countries other than Canada and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside Canada. As a result, it may be difficult for Canadian investors to initiate a lawsuit within Canada against these persons. In addition, it may not be possible for Canadian investors to collect from these persons judgments obtained in courts in Canada predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities legislation of certain of the provinces and territories of Canada. It may also be difficult for Canadian investors to succeed in a lawsuit in the United States based solely on violations of Canadian securities laws.

If a United States person is treated as owning at least 10% of our Common Shares, such holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If a United States person is treated as owning (directly, indirectly, or constructively) at least 10% of the value or voting power of our Common Shares, such person may be treated as a “United States shareholder” with respect to each “controlled foreign corporation” in our group. Because our group includes one or more U.S. subsidiaries, we expect that certain of our non-U.S. subsidiaries will be treated as controlled foreign corporations (regardless of whether or not we are treated as a controlled foreign corporation). A United States shareholder of a controlled foreign corporation may be required to report annually and include in its U.S. taxable income its pro rata share of “Subpart F income,” “global intangible low-taxed income,” and investments in U.S. property by controlled foreign corporations, regardless of whether we make any distributions. An individual that is a United States shareholder with respect to a controlled foreign corporation generally would not be allowed certain tax deductions or foreign tax credits that would be allowed

 

S-22


Table of Contents

to a United States shareholder that is a U.S. corporation. Failure to comply with these reporting obligations may subject a United States shareholder to significant monetary penalties and may prevent the statute of limitations with respect to such shareholder’s U.S. federal income tax return for the year for which reporting was due from starting. We cannot provide any assurances that we will assist investors in determining whether any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries is treated as a controlled foreign corporation or whether any investor is treated as a United States shareholder with respect to any such controlled foreign corporation or furnish to any United States shareholders information that may be necessary to comply with the aforementioned reporting and tax paying obligations. A United States investor should consult its advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to an investment in our Common Shares.

We may be a passive foreign investment company, which may result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. Holders of Common Shares.

Generally, if for any taxable year 75% or more of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the average quarterly value of our assets are held for the production of, or produce, passive income, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our status as a PFIC may also depend on how quickly we use the cash proceeds from this Offering in our business. Based on the nature of our income and the value and composition of our assets, we do not believe we were a PFIC during the taxable year ended December 31, 2019. Because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current or future taxable years. If we are characterized as a PFIC, our shareholders who are U.S. Holders may suffer adverse tax consequences, including the treatment of gains realized on the sale of our Common Shares as ordinary income, rather than as capital gain, the loss of the preferential rate applicable to dividends received on our Common Shares by individuals who are U.S. Holders, and the addition of interest charges to the tax on such gains and certain distributions. A U.S. shareholder of a PFIC generally may mitigate these adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences by making a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”) election, or, to a lesser extent, a mark-to-market election. However, we do not intend to provide the information necessary for U.S. Holders to make QEF elections if we are classified as a PFIC.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The aggregate net proceeds to be received by us from the sale of the Offered Shares under the Offering are approximately US$                 after deducting the Underwriters’ Fee and other expenses relating to the Offering payable by us, which are estimated to be US$                .

We intend to use the net proceeds of the Offering to strengthen our financial position and allow us to pursue our growth strategies, which include: expanding our customer base; supporting the growth of existing customers; expanding our solutions; and other general corporate purposes.

We may also use a portion of the net proceeds of the Offering to expand our current business through acquisitions of, or investments in, other complementary businesses, products or technologies. However, we have no agreements or commitments with respect to any acquisitions or investments at this time.

As a result of our significant growth in recent periods and the fact that we operate in a dynamic and rapidly-evolving market, we do not believe we can provide the approximate amounts of the proceeds that will be allocated to each of these purposes with certainty. As such, we have not specifically allocated the net proceeds amongst these purposes as at the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Such decisions will depend on market and competitive factors, as they evolve over time. Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this Offering in short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments or hold them as cash.

While we currently anticipate that we will use the net proceeds of the Offering as set forth above, we may use the net proceeds differently, having consideration to our strategy relative to market and other conditions, as well as other factors described under “Risk Factors”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue and sell and the Underwriters have agreed to purchase, as principals, severally and not jointly (within the meaning of such terms under the laws of the State of New York) on the Closing Date, or such earlier or later date as the Company and the Underwriters may agree, but in any event no later than                     , 2020, the number of Offered Shares set out opposite their respective names below, representing an aggregate of                  Offered Shares, at a price of US$             per Offered Share, for an aggregate gross consideration of US$            , payable in cash against delivery of the Offered Shares. The Offering Price was determined by negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters, with reference to the then-current market price for the Common Shares.

The Offered Shares are being offered in the United States by the U.S. Underwriters and in Canada by the Canadian Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The Offering is being made concurrently in Canada under the terms of the Shelf Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement and in the United States under the terms of the Registration Statement, of which the Shelf Prospectus and this Prospectus Supplement form part, through the Underwriters and/or affiliates thereof registered to offer the Offered Shares for sale in such jurisdictions in accordance with applicable securities laws and such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters. Subject to applicable law, the Underwriters, their affiliates, or such other registered dealers as may be designated by the Underwriters, may offer the Offered Shares outside of Canada and the United States.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Company will pay the Underwriters at the time of closing of the Offering a fee of US$                 per Offered Share sold pursuant to the Offering, including any Additional Shares sold pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Company has agreed to reimburse the Underwriters for FINRA and other expenses in an amount not to exceed US$35,000. The Company has granted to the Underwriters an Over-Allotment Option, in whole or in part, from time to time not later than 30 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase from the Additional Shares on the same terms as set out above solely to cover the Underwriters’ over-allocation position, if any, and for market stabilization purposes. This Prospectus Supplement also qualifies the grant of the Over-Allotment Option and the distribution of up to                  Additional Shares, in aggregate, to be sold by the Company upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. A purchaser who acquires Common Shares forming part of the over-allocation position acquires those shares under this Prospectus Supplement regardless of whether the over allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

The obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement are several and not joint (within the meaning of such terms under the laws of the State of New York) and are subject to certain closing conditions. The Underwriters may terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreement by notice given by the representatives to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), the NYSE American, or the TSX, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on the Nasdaq or TSX, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or Canada shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. Federal or New York State or Canadian authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in the representatives’ judgment, is material and adverse and which, singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the representatives’ judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Offered Shares on the terms and in the manner

contemplated in this Prospectus Supplement. The Underwriters are, however, obligated to take up and pay for all of the Offered Shares if any Offered Shares are purchased under the Underwriting Agreement.

Subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also agreed to indemnify the Underwriters and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under Canadian and United States securities legislation, or to contribute to any payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. The Underwriters, as principals, conditionally offer the Offered Shares qualified under this Prospectus Supplement and the Shelf Prospectus, subject to prior sale, when, as and if delivered to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the Offered Shares, and other conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, such as the receipt by the Underwriters of officers’ certificates and legal opinions. The Underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed that until the date that is 90 days following the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Restricted Period”), it will not, directly or indirectly, and will not publicly disclose any intention to, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Canaccord Genuity LLC, subject to certain exceptions: (i) issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, or, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, (iii) file any registration statement with the SEC or prospectus with any Canadian securities regulatory authority relating to the offering of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares. The exceptions include: (a) the Offered Shares (and any Additional Shares) to be sold in the Offering; (b) the issuance of incentive compensation or equity (including the Common Shares) under the incentive plans of the Company, as such plans may be adopted, amended or restated, (c) any Common Shares issued pursuant to any existing employee share purchase plan of the Company, (d) the filing of one or more registration statements on Form S-8 relating to stock options, other equity awards or employee benefits of the Company, provided certain conditions are met, (e) Common Shares or other securities issued in connection with an acquisition or a transaction that includes a commercial relationship (including joint ventures, collaborations, partnership or other strategic acquisitions, but excluding stock options); provided certain conditions are met, including that (i) the aggregate amount of Common Shares issued in connection with such transactions does not exceed 10% of the total shares outstanding of the Company upon consummation of the Offering, and, (ii) in the case of any such issuance prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, each such recipient of Common Shares or securities agrees to be bound by restrictions applicable to the Company’s directors and officers detailed below or (f) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or similar plan under Canadian securities laws for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that certain conditions are met, including that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Shares, during the Restricted Period, and to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Shares may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period.

In addition, the directors, officers and certain shareholders of the Company have executed “lockup” letters pursuant to which, until the date that is 90 days following the date of the final prospectus supplement relating to this Offering (the “Lock-Up Restricted Period”), they have agreed that they will not, and will not publicly disclose the intention to, without the consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldmans Sachs & Co. LLC and Canaccord Genuity LLC, subject to certain exceptions: (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) by them or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares. The exceptions include: (a) the Offered Shares and Additional Shares sold in the Offering; (b) transactions relating to Common Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after completion of the Offering, subject to certain exceptions; (c) a bona fide gift, including charitable contributions, of Common Shares or securities convertible into Common Shares; (d) distributions of Common Shares

or any security convertible into Common Shares to limited partners, members or stockholders or other equity holders of the signatory; (e) transfers of Common Shares or any security convertible into Subordinate Common Shares to certain affiliates of the signatory, subject to certain exceptions, (f) a bona fide third-party tender offer, take-over bid, plan of arrangement, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Common Shares involving a change of control of the Company, provided that certain conditions are met; (g) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or similar plan under Canadian securities laws for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that certain conditions are met, (h) receipt of securities (including on a “net” basis with transfers to the Company) solely made in connection with exercises of outstanding stock options or warrants or vesting and/or redemptions of restricted shares units or other equity awards of the Company, provided that certain conditions are met, (i) transfers of up to an aggregate of 125,000 Common Shares by certain of the Company’s directors and officers; and (j) in the case of Intercap, the existing pledge of certain of its Common Shares pursuant to an existing credit agreement. See “Risk Factors—Future sales, or the perception of future sales, of Common Shares by existing shareholders or by us, or future dilutive issuances of Common Shares by us, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares.”

The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the TSX under the symbol “DCBO”. On November 30, 2020, the last trading day before the filing of this Prospectus Supplement, the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX was C$67.69 or US$52.21 (based on the daily exchange rate for the U.S dollar in terms of Canadian dollars, as quoted by the Bank of Canada, of C$1.00 = US$0.7713). The Company has applied to list the Offered Shares and the Additional Shares on the TSX and has applied to list the Offered Shares, the Additional Shares and its outstanding Common Shares on the Nasdaq under the trading symbol “DCBO”. Listing is subject to the Company fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX and Nasdaq, respectively.

The Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Shares initially at the Offering Price. After the Underwriters have made reasonable efforts to sell the Offered Shares at the Offering Price, the Underwriters may offer the Offered Shares to the public at prices lower than the Offering Price, and the compensation realized by the Underwriters pursuant to the Offering will effectively be decreased by the amount that the price paid by purchasers for the Offered Shares is less than the original Offering Price. Any such reduction will not affect the net proceeds of the Offering received by the Company.

Pursuant to the rules and policy statements of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the Underwriters may not, throughout the period of distribution under this Prospectus Supplement, bid for or purchase Common Shares. The foregoing restriction is subject to certain exceptions. These exceptions include a bid or purchase permitted under the by-laws and rules of applicable Canadian regulatory authorities and the TSX including the Universal Market Integrity Rules for Canadian Marketplaces administered by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada relating to market stabilization and market-balancing activities and a bid or purchase made on behalf of a client where the client’s order was not solicited during the period of distribution.

Subject to applicable laws, the Underwriters may, in connection with this Offering, over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market, including: stabilizing transactions; short sales; purchases to cover positions created by short sales; imposition of penalty bids; and syndicate covering transactions. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or delaying a decline in the market price of the Common Shares while the Offering is in progress. Short sales involve the sale by the Underwriters of a greater number of Common Shares than they are required to purchase in the Offering. Short sales may be “covered short sales”, which are short positions in an amount not greater than the Over-Allotment Option, or may be “naked short sales”, which are short positions in excess of that amount.

The Underwriters may close out any covered short position either by exercising the Over-Allotment Option, in whole or in part, or by purchasing Common Shares in the open market. In making this determination, the Underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of the Common Shares available for purchase in the open market compared with the price at which they may purchase Common Shares through the Over-Allotment Option. If, following the closing of the Offering, the market price of the Common Shares decreases, the short position created by the over-allocation position in the Common Shares may be filled through purchases in the open market, creating upward pressure on the price of the Common Shares. If, following the closing of the Offering, the market price of Common

 

S-28


Table of Contents

Shares increases, the over-allocation position in the Common Shares may be filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option.

The Underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing Common Shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Common Shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the Offering. Any naked short position would form part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position. A purchaser who acquires Common Shares forming part of the Underwriters’ over-allocation position resulting from any covered short sales or naked short sales will acquire such Common Shares under this Prospectus Supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option or secondary market purchases.

Subscriptions will be received subject to rejection or allotment in whole or in part and the Underwriters reserve the right to close the subscription books at any time without notice. It is expected that the Company will arrange for the instant deposit of the Offered Shares by the Underwriters under the book-based system of registration, to be registered to DTC and deposited with DTC on the Closing Date, or as otherwise may be agreed to among the Company and the Underwriters. In the case of certain Canadian purchasers, the Company may alternatively arrange for the electronic deposit of the Offered Shares distributed under the Offering under the book-based system of registration, to be registered in the name of CDS or its nominee and deposited with CDS on the Closing Date. No certificates evidencing the Offered Shares will be issued to purchasers of the Offered Shares. Purchasers of the Offered Shares will receive only a customer confirmation from the Underwriter or other registered dealer from or through whom a beneficial interest in the Offered Shares is purchased.

Relationship Between the Company and Certain Underwriters

The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, a variety of these services to the issuer and to persons and entities with relationships with the issuer, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriters and their respective affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the issuer (directly, as collateral securing other obligations or otherwise) and/or persons and entities with relationships with the issuer. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

IRA Letter Agreement

The Investor Rights Agreement currently provides Intercap with certain registration rights for public offerings in Canada. In connection with the Offering, and as required pursuant to Section 4.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement, we will supplement the Investor Rights Agreement by entering into a letter agreement with Intercap, pursuant to which Docebo will provide Intercap with U.S. registration rights that are substantially similar, and in addition to, to those provided to Intercap under the Investor Rights Agreement in respect of Canadian offerings (the “IRA Letter Agreement”), given that our Common Shares will now be listed on a U.S. stock exchange.

The IRA Letter Agreement provides, among other things:

 

   

Intercap with the right (the “Demand Registration Right”) to require the Company to use reasonably commercial efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC covering all or a portion of the Common Shares held by Intercap for a public offering in the United States (a “Demand Distribution”), provided that

 

S-29


Table of Contents
 

the Company will not be obliged to effect (i) more than two Demand Distributions in any 12-month period (counted together with Demand Distributions for offerings made in Canada) or (ii) any Demand Distribution where the value of the Common Shares offered under such Demand Registration is less than $10 million; and

 

   

Intercap with the right (the “Piggy-Back Registration Right”) to require the Company to include its Common Shares in any future U.S. public offerings undertaken by the Company by way of a registration statement filed with the SEC covering Common Shares (a “Piggy-Back Distribution”).

To exercise these registration rights, Intercap, together with its affiliates and joint actors, must collectively own, in the aggregate, at least 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of exercise. The Demand Registration Right and Piggy-Back Registration Right will also be subject to various conditions and limitations, and the Company will be entitled to defer any Demand Distribution in certain circumstances for a period not exceeding 90 days. The expenses in respect of a Demand Distribution, subject to certain exceptions, will be borne by the Company and Intercap on a proportionate basis according to the number of Common Shares distributed by each. The expenses in respect of a Piggy-Back Distribution, subject to certain exceptions, will be borne by the Company, except that any underwriting fee and SEC or FINRA fees on the sale of Common Shares by Intercap and the fees of their external legal counsel will be borne by Intercap.

In the opinion of Goodmans LLP, Canadian counsel to the Company, and Stikeman Elliott LLP, Canadian counsel to the Underwriters, the following is a general summary, as of the date hereof, of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “Tax Act”) generally applicable to a holder who acquires as beneficial owner Common Shares pursuant to this Offering and who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds Common Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length with the Company or the Underwriters, is not affiliated with the Company, has not entered into and will enter into, with respect to their Common Shares, a “derivative forward agreement”, a “synthetic disposition arrangement” or a “dividend rental arrangement” each as defined under the Tax Act (a “Holder”). Generally, the Common Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder unless they are held or acquired or deemed to be held or acquired in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act and counsel’s understanding of the current published administrative and assessing policies and practices of the Canada Revenue Agency. The summary also takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”), and assumes that all such Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed. No assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by way of legislative, judicial or administrative action or interpretation, nor does it address any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder, and no representations are made concerning the income tax consequences to any particular Holder or prospective Holder made. Accordingly, Holders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors about the specific tax consequences to them of acquiring, holding and disposing of Common Shares.

Currency Conversion

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relevant in computing the income, taxable income and taxes payable by a Holder, including the cost and adjusted cost base of Common Shares, must be determined in Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate quoted by the Bank of Canada on the relevant date (or, if there is no such rate quoted for the relevant date, the closest preceding date for which such a rate is quoted) or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister of National Revenue.

Residents of Canada

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act, and at all relevant times, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (“Resident Holder”). This portion of the summary is not applicable to a Resident Holder: (a) that is a “financial institution”, as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the “mark-to-market rules” contained in the Tax Act; (b) an interest in which would, or for whom a Common Share would, be a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (c) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; or (d) that has elected to report its “Canadian tax results”, as defined in the Tax Act, in a currency other than the Canadian currency. Any such Holder to which this summary does not apply should consult its own tax advisor.

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Resident Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and is, or becomes, or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of Common Shares, controlled by a non-resident person or, if no single non-resident person has control, by a group of non-resident persons that do not deal with each other at arm’s length, for purposes of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the consequences of acquiring Common Shares.

Certain Resident Holders whose Common Shares might not otherwise qualify as capital property may, in certain circumstances, make the irrevocable election pursuant to subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act to have its Common Shares,

Table of Contents

and every other “Canadian security”, as defined in the Tax Act, owned by such Resident Holder in the taxation year of the election and in all subsequent taxation years, deemed to be capital property. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors for advice as to whether an election under subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act is available and advisable in their own circumstances.

Dividends on Common Shares

Dividends received on a Common Share by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will be included in computing such Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable under the Tax Act to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit in respect of dividends designated by the Company as “eligible dividends”. There may be limitations on the ability of the Company to designate dividends as “eligible dividends”. Dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual (including certain trusts) may result in such Resident Holder being liable for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult with their own tax advisors in this regard.

Dividends received on a Common Share by a Resident Holder that is a corporation will be included in computing such Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year generally will be deductible in computing its taxable income for that taxation year. In certain circumstances a dividend received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be deemed to be proceeds of disposition or a capital gain pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation”, each as defined in the Tax Act, generally will be liable to pay an additional tax under Part IV of the Tax Act on dividends received on Common Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income for the year. Such additional tax may be refundable in certain circumstances. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult with their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

Dispositions of a Common Shares

Upon a disposition, or a deemed disposition, of a Common Share (other than to the Company, unless purchased by the Company in the open market in the manner in which Common Shares are normally purchased by any member of the public in the open market), a Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount by which the proceeds of disposition of the Common Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Common Share to the Resident Holder immediately before the disposition or deemed disposition. For this purpose, the adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of a Common Share will be determined at any particular time by averaging the cost of such share with the adjusted cost base of all other Common Shares owned by the Resident Holder as capital property at that time. The Resident Holder’s cost for the purposes of the Tax Act of Common Shares generally will include all amounts paid or payable by the Resident Holder for the Common Shares, subject to certain adjustments under the Tax Act. Such capital gain (or capital loss) will be subject to the treatment described below under “—Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses”.

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder for a taxation year must be included in computing the Resident Holder’s income for the taxation year in which the disposition occurs. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized in that taxation year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains for the taxation year of disposition may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years, or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent year (against net taxable capital gains realized in such years), to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. If the Resident Holder is a corporation, any such capital loss realized on the sale of a Common Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends which have been received by the Resident Holder on such Common Share to the extent and in circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns Common Shares, directly or indirectly through a partnership or a trust. Such Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Taxable capital gains realized by a Resident Holder who is an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to alternative minimum tax depending on the Resident Holder’s circumstances.

A Resident Holder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation”(as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable to pay a refundable tax on certain investment income, including taxable capital gains.

Non-Resident Holders

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) is not and is not deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) does not and will not use or hold, and is not and will not be deemed to use or hold, the Common Shares in connection with, or in the course of carrying on, a business or part of a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This summary does not apply to a Non-Resident Holder that carries on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act). Such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

Dividends on Common Shares

A dividend paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on a Common Share to a Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax under the Tax Act at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which the Non-Resident Holder is entitled under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. For example, the rate of withholding tax applicable to a dividend paid on a Common Share to a Non-Resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the “Convention”), beneficially owns the dividend, and is fully entitled to the benefits of the Convention, generally will be reduced to 15%. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their particular circumstances.

Dispositions of Common Shares

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition or deemed disposition of a Common Share unless the Common Share constitutes “taxable Canadian property”(as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident. Generally, a Common Share will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder at any particular time provided that the Common Share is listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes the TSX and the Nasdaq), unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding such time: (a) at least 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company was owned by or belonged to any combination of (x) the Non-Resident Holder, (y) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (z) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (y) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Share was derived, directly or indirectly, from one, or any combination of, real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource property (as defined in the Tax Act) or options in respect of, interests in or for civil law rights in any such property (whether or not such property exists).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Common Share may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act. If the Common Share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) to the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Holder is resident, the consequences above under “Residents of Canada—Dispositions of Common Shares” and “Residents of Canada—Taxation of Capital Gains and Losses” will generally apply. Non-Resident Holders whose Common Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property to them should consult their own tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion describes the material U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of Common Shares by U.S. Holders (as defined herein). This discussion applies to U.S. Holders that purchase Common Shares pursuant to this Offering and hold such Common Shares as capital assets (generally, assets held for investment purposes). This discussion is based on the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to specific U.S. Holders in light of their particular circumstances or to U.S. Holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law (such as certain financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers and traders in securities or other persons that generally mark their securities to market for U.S. federal income tax purposes, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, certain former citizens or residents of the United States, persons who hold Common Shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or integrated investment, persons that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, persons that own directly, indirectly or through attribution 10% or more of the voting power or value of our shares, corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, partnerships and other pass-through entities (or arrangements treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and investors in such pass-through entities). This discussion does not address any U.S. state or local or non-U.S. tax consequences or any U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum tax consequences or the requirements of Section 451 of the Code with respect to conforming the timing of income accruals to financial statements.

As used in this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Common Shares that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation (or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source or (4) a trust (x) with respect to which a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (y) that has elected under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a domestic trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Common Shares will depend in part upon the status and activities of such entity or arrangement and the particular partner. Any such entity or arrangement should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to it and its partners of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Common Shares.

Persons considering an investment in Common Shares should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular tax consequences applicable to them relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Common Shares, including the applicability of U.S. federal, state and local tax laws and non-U.S. tax laws.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences

In general, a corporation organized outside the United States will be treated as a PFIC, for any taxable year in which either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is “passive income”, or (2) on average at least 50% of its assets, determined on a quarterly basis, are assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income. Passive income for this purpose generally includes, among other things, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, and gains from the sale or exchange of property that gives rise to passive income. Assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income generally include cash, even if held as working capital or raised in a public offering, marketable securities, and other assets that may produce passive income. Generally, in determining whether a non-U.S. corporation is a PFIC, a proportionate share of the income and assets of each corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, at least a 25% interest (by value) is taken into account.

We do not believe we were a PFIC for the year ended December 31, 2019. However, because PFIC status is determined on an annual basis and generally cannot be determined until the end of the taxable year, there can be no assurance that we will not be a PFIC for the current taxable year. Because we may hold a substantial amount of cash

 

S-37


Table of Contents

and cash equivalents following this Offering, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of Common Shares, which may fluctuate considerably, we may also be a PFIC in the current or future taxable years. Even if we determine that we are not a PFIC for a taxable year, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with our conclusion and that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Our status as a PFIC is a fact-intensive determination made on an annual basis. Accordingly, our U.S. counsel expresses no opinion with respect to our PFIC status and also expresses no opinion with regard to our expectations regarding our PFIC status.

If we are a PFIC in any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns Common Shares, the U.S. Holder could be liable for additional taxes and interest charges under the “PFIC excess distribution regime” upon (1) a distribution paid during a taxable year that is greater than 125% of the average annual distributions paid in the three preceding taxable years, or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares, and (2) any gain recognized on a sale, exchange or other disposition, including a pledge, of the Common Shares, whether or not we continue to be a PFIC. Under the PFIC excess distribution regime, the tax on such distribution or gain would be determined by allocating the distribution or gain ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for Common Shares. The amount allocated to the current taxable year (i.e., the year in which the distribution occurs or the gain is recognized) and any year prior to the first taxable year in which we are a PFIC will be taxed as ordinary income earned in the current taxable year. The amount allocated to other taxable years will be taxed at the highest marginal rates in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, to ordinary income for each such taxable year, and an interest charge, generally applicable to underpayments of tax, will be added to the tax.

If we are a PFIC for any year during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares, we must generally continue to be treated as a PFIC by that holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds the Common Shares, unless we cease to meet the requirements for PFIC status and the U.S. Holder makes a “deemed sale” election with respect to the Common Shares. If the election is made, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to sell the Common Shares it holds at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which we qualified as a PFIC, and any gain recognized from such deemed sale would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime. After the deemed sale election, the U.S. Holder’s Common Shares would not be treated as shares of a PFIC unless we subsequently become a PFIC.

If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds Common Shares and one of our non-U.S. corporate subsidiaries is also a PFIC (i.e., a lower-tier PFIC), such U.S. Holder would be treated as owning a proportionate amount (by value) of the shares of the lower-tier PFIC and would be taxed under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions by the lower-tier PFIC and on gain from the disposition of shares of the lower-tier PFIC even though such U.S. Holder would not receive the proceeds of those distributions or dispositions. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to our non-U.S. subsidiaries.

If we are a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime on distributions or gain recognized on Common Shares if such U.S. Holder makes a valid “mark-to-market” election for our Common Shares. A mark-to-market election is available to a U.S. Holder only for “marketable stock.” Our Common Shares will be marketable stock as long as they remain listed on the Nasdaq and are regularly traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. If a mark-to-market election is in effect, a U.S. Holder generally would take into account, as ordinary income each year, the excess of the fair market value of Common Shares held at the end of such taxable year over the adjusted tax basis of such Common Shares. The U.S. Holder would also take into account, as an ordinary loss each year, the excess of the adjusted tax basis of such Common Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year, but only to the extent of the excess of amounts previously included in income over ordinary losses deducted as a result of the mark-to-market election. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in Common Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from such sale, exchange or other disposition would be treated first as ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as capital loss.

A mark-to-market election will not apply to Common Shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC, but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any non-U.S. subsidiaries that we may organize or acquire in the future. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to tax under the PFIC excess distribution regime with respect to any lower-tier PFICs that we

 

S-38


Table of Contents

may organize or acquire in the future notwithstanding the U.S. Holder’s mark-to-market election for the Common Shares.

The tax consequences that would apply if we are a PFIC would also be different from those described above if a U.S. Holder were able to make a valid QEF election. At this time we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information necessary for a U.S. Holder to make a QEF election, and therefore prospective investors should assume that a QEF election will not be available.

Each U.S. person that is an investor of a PFIC is generally required to file an annual information return on IRS Form 8621 containing such information as the U.S. Treasury Department may require. The failure to file IRS Form 8621 could result in the imposition of penalties and the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to U.S. federal income tax.

The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are very complex. Prospective U.S. investors are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the impact of PFIC status on the purchase, ownership and disposition of Common Shares, the consequences to them of an investment in a PFIC, any elections available with respect to the Common Shares and the IRS information reporting obligations with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of Common Shares of a PFIC.

Distributions

Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences,” a U.S. Holder that receives a distribution with respect to Common Shares generally will be required to include the gross amount of such distribution (before reduction for any Canadian withholding taxes withheld therefrom) in gross income as a dividend when actually or constructively received to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and/or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). To the extent a distribution received by a U.S. Holder is not a dividend because it exceeds the U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, it will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital and reduce (but not below zero) the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Common Shares. To the extent the distribution exceeds the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. Holder’s Common Shares, the remainder will be taxed as capital gain. Because we may not account for our earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, U.S. Holders should expect all distributions to be reported to them as dividends. Distributions on Common Shares that are treated as dividends generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for foreign tax credit purposes and generally will constitute passive category income. Such dividends will not be eligible for the “dividends received” deduction generally allowed to corporate shareholders with respect to dividends received from U.S. corporations.

Dividends paid by a “qualified foreign corporation” are eligible for taxation in the case of non-corporate U.S. Holders at a reduced long-term capital gains rate rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income provided that certain requirements are met.

A non-U.S. corporation (other than a corporation that is classified as a PFIC for the taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year) generally will be considered to be a qualified foreign corporation (a) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information provision, or (b) with respect to any dividend it pays on Common Shares that are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. We believe that we qualify as a resident of Canada for purposes of, and are eligible for the benefits of, the U.S.-Canada Treaty, which the IRS has determined is satisfactory for purposes of the qualified dividend rules and that it includes an exchange of information provision, although there can be no assurance in this regard. Further, our Common Shares will generally be considered to be readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States if they are listed on the Nasdaq, as we intend the Common Shares to be. Therefore, subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, if the U.S. Treaty is applicable, or if the Common Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States, dividends paid on Common Shares will generally be “qualified dividend income” in the hands of non-corporate U.S. Holders, provided that certain conditions are met, including conditions relating to holding period and the absence of certain risk reduction transactions. Each non-corporate U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced tax rate on dividends with regard to its particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange or Other Disposition of Common Shares

Subject to the discussion above under “Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences,” a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of Common Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized (i.e., the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received) on the sale, exchange or other disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Common Shares. Such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain taxable at a reduced rate for non-corporate U.S. Holders or long-term capital loss if, on the date of sale, exchange or other disposition, the Common Shares were held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year. Any capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder that is not long-term capital gain is taxed at ordinary income rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder from the sale or other disposition of Common Shares will generally be gain or loss from sources within the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Medicare Tax

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts and whose income exceeds certain thresholds generally are subject to a 3.8% Medicare tax on all or a portion of their net investment income, which may include their gross dividend income and net gains from the disposition of Common Shares. If you are a U.S. person that is an individual, estate or trust, you are encouraged to consult your tax advisors regarding the applicability of this Medicare tax to your income and gains in respect of your investment in Common Shares.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders may be required to file certain U.S. information reporting returns with the IRS with respect to an investment in Common Shares, including, among others, IRS Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets). As described above under “—Passive Foreign Investment Company Consequences”, each U.S. Holder who is a shareholder of a PFIC must file an annual report containing certain information. U.S. Holders paying more than US$100,000 for Common Shares may be required to file IRS Form 926 (Return by a U.S. Transferor of Property to a Foreign Corporation) reporting this payment. Substantial penalties may be imposed upon a U.S. Holder that fails to comply with the required information reporting.

Distributions on, and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of Common Shares, may be reported to the IRS unless the U.S. Holder establishes a basis for exemption. Backup withholding may apply to amounts subject to reporting if the holder (1) fails to provide an accurate U.S. taxpayer identification number or otherwise establish a basis for exemption, or (2) is described in certain other categories of persons. However, U.S. Holders that are corporations generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability if the required information is furnished by the U.S. Holder on a timely basis to the IRS.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the backup withholding tax and information reporting rules.

EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO IT OF AN INVESTMENT IN COMMON SHARES IN LIGHT OF THE INVESTOR’S OWN CIRCUMSTANCES.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

Certain of our operations and assets are located outside the United States, and certain of our officers, directors and shareholders, reside outside of the United States.

The Company has appointed an agent for service of process in the United States. It may be difficult for investors who reside in the United States to effect service of process in the United States upon the Company, or to enforce a U.S. court judgment predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against the Company or its directors and officers. There is substantial doubt whether an action could be brought in Canada in the first instance predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

Docebo filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus Supplement forms a part, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under Form F-X, the Company appointed CT Corporation System as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC and any civil suit or action brought against or involving Docebo in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of securities under this Prospectus Supplement.

Certain of our operations and assets are also located outside of Canada, and certain of our officers, directors and shareholders, reside outside of Canada. See “Enforcement of Judgments Against Foreign Persons”.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS

Certain of our operations and assets are located outside of Canada, and certain of our directors, namely Claudio Erba and Kristin Halpin Perry, reside outside of Canada. Each have appointed Docebo Inc., located at 366 Adelaide St West, Suite 701, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 1R9, as their agent for service of process in Canada. Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

DOCUMENTS FILED AS PART OF THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

The following documents have been filed or furnished with the SEC as part of the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus Supplement forms a part: (i) the documents listed under the heading “Documents Incorporated by Reference”; (ii) powers of attorney from Docebo’s directors and officers, as applicable; (iii) the consent of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP; (iv) the consent of Goodmans LLP; (v) the consent of Stikeman Elliott LLP; and (vi) the Underwriting Agreement.

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS ANY CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.

You should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities described herein may have tax consequences.

A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where the Securities are offered in currencies other than Canadian dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

We or any selling securityholders may sell the Securities to or through one or more underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals and may also sell the Securities to one or more purchasers directly, through applicable statutory exemptions, or through one or more agents designated by us from time to time. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or not at fixed prices, such as market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to such prevailing market prices or prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer, agent or selling securityholders engaged in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the initial offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is not a fixed price distribution), the net proceeds to us and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms.

This Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market distribution” (as defined under applicable Canadian securities legislation).

In connection with any offering of the Securities other than an “at-the-market distribution”, unless otherwise specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See “Plan of Distribution”.

No underwriter or dealer of an “at-the-market distribution” under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the securities distributed under this Prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter or dealer creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

The outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “DCBO”. On October 21, 2020, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the outstanding Common Shares on the TSX was $53.81.

Owning the Securities may subject you to tax consequences. This Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement may not describe the tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult with your own tax advisor with respect to your own particular circumstances.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Preferred Shares, the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units will not be listed on any securities exchange. There is no market through which these securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this Prospectus. This may affect the pricing of such securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”.

The Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (“OBCA”) and its head and registered office is at 366 Adelaide Street West, Suite 701, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5V 1R9.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” as defined within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking information”). Forward-looking information may relate to our future financial outlook and anticipated events or results and may include information regarding our financial position, business strategy, the impact of COVID-19 on our business, growth strategies, addressable markets, budgets, operations, financial results, taxes, dividend policy, plans and objectives. Particularly, information regarding the intention of the Company to complete the Offering on the terms and conditions described herein, the listing of any Securities, the proposed use of proceeds thereof, the impact of COVID-19 on the business and the Company’s statements regarding the Company’s business and the environment in which it operates, is forward-looking information.

In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “projects” or “believes”, “pro forma” or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will”, “occur” or “be achieved” and similar words or the negative thereof. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances.

This forward-looking information is based on our opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we currently believe are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances. Despite a careful process to prepare and

 

1


Table of Contents

review the forward-looking information, there can be no assurance that the underlying opinions, estimates and assumptions will prove to be correct. Certain assumptions in respect of our ability to build our market share and enter new markets and industry verticals; our ability to retain key personnel; our ability to maintain and expand geographic scope; our ability to execute on our expansion plans; our ability to continue investing in infrastructure to support our growth; our ability to obtain and maintain existing financing on acceptable terms; currency exchange and interest rates; the impact of competition; the effectiveness of mitigation strategies undertaken with respect to COVID-19, and the severity, duration and impacts of COVID-19 on the economy and Docebo’s business, which is highly uncertain and cannot reasonably be predicted; our ability to respond to the changes and trends in our industry or the global economy; and the changes in laws, rules, regulations, and global standards are material factors made in preparing forward-looking information and management’s expectations.

Forward-looking information is necessarily based on a number of opinions, estimates and assumptions that, while considered by the Company to be appropriate and reasonable as of the date of this Prospectus, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including but not limited to:

 

   

the Company’s ability to execute its growth strategies;

 

   

the impact of changing conditions in the global corporate e-learning market;

 

   

increasing competition in the global corporate e-learning market in which the Company operates;

 

   

fluctuations in currency exchange rates and volatility in financial markets;

 

   

the extent of the impact of COVID-19 and measures taken to contain the virus on our results of operations and overall financial performance;

 

   

changes in the attitudes, financial condition and demand of our target market;

 

   

developments and changes in applicable laws and regulations; and

 

   

such other factors discussed in greater detail under “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus and in the Company’s Annual Information Form (as defined herein) available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail in “Risk Factors” should be considered carefully by prospective investors.

Although we have attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to us or that we presently believe are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information represents our expectations as of the date of this Prospectus (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date. However, we disclaim any intention or obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking information whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required under applicable securities laws.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Statements included or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus about the contents of any contract, agreement or other documents referred to are not necessarily complete, and in each instance, you should refer to the actual agreement for a complete description of the matter involved. Each such statement is qualified in its entirety by such reference. Each time we sell Securities under this Prospectus, we will provide a Prospectus Supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The Prospectus Supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this Prospectus.

THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated under the OBCA on April 21, 2016 as Docebo Canada Inc. and all of the pre-existing operations of Docebo (primarily Docebo S.P.A. and Docebo NA, Inc.) were organized under the newly incorporated company. On October 1, 2019, the Company changed its name to “Docebo Inc.” Since incorporation, the Company has focused on developing its platform and growing its sales and marketing to expand its customer base.

On October 8, 2019, Docebo completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and its Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX on that date under the symbol “DCBO”.

Docebo’s mission is to redefine the way enterprises, including their internal and external workforce, partners and customers, learn by applying new technologies to the traditional corporate learning management system (“LMS”) market. Docebo provides an easy-to-use, highly configurable and affordable learning platform with the end-to-end capabilities and critical functionality needed to train both internal and external workforces, partners and customers. The Company’s solution allows its customers to take control of their desired training strategies and retain institutional knowledge, while providing efficient course delivery, advanced reporting tools and analytics. Docebo’s robust platform helps its customers centralize a broad range of learning materials from peer enterprises and learners into one LMS to expedite and enrich the learning process, increase productivity and grow teams uniformly.

With over 400 employees across five global offices, Docebo sells its products in approximately 74 countries and empowers over 2,000 companies and approximately 9.5 million registered learners across various industries such as technology, media and entertainment, manufacturing, consumer products, financial services and retail.

Prior to July 1, 2020, Docebo offered two plans: “Growth” and “Enterprise”, which were designed to meet the current and future needs of our customers, depending on each customer’s number of active learners, features needed, services available and approach to adopting learning technologies. In the third quarter of 2020, we decided to stop offering the “Growth” plan to new customers and existing customers already contracted under the ‘Growth” plan have the ability to transition to a new “Enterprise” plan over a specified period of time. The updated “Enterprise” plan is marketed to enterprises with at least 300 active learners. Docebo’s primary target market is comprised of (i) mid-market enterprises that use Docebo in individual divisions or as a global learning platform across their entire enterprise and (ii) divisions of larger enterprises for both internal and external use cases. The enterprises in our primary target market are broadly defined as having between 500 and 10,000 active learners.

Our cloud platform currently consists of three interrelated modules: (i) “Docebo Learn”, (ii) “Docebo Discover, Coach & Share” and (iii) “Docebo Extended Enterprise”. Docebo Learn, our foundational module, helps learning administrators centralize, organize and distribute learning content, define and track certifications and measure results with customer reporting. Docebo Discover, Coach & Share enhances the learning experience providing personalized curated content and access to social learning by encouraging the sharing of knowledge through formal, social, interactive and experiential learning across the organization. Docebo Extended Enterprise allows businesses to manage multiple portals for different audiences with their own administration, branding and authentication, demonstrating our commitment to our customers’ success. Additional products within our platform include: “Docebo for Salesforce”, “Docebo Embed (OEM)” and “Docebo Mobile App Publisher”. Docebo for Salesforce is a native integration that leverages Salesforce’s API and technology architecture to produce a learning experience that remains uniform no matter the use-case. Docebo Embed (OEM) eliminates disjointed learner experiences, long development cycles and ineffective partner models by allowing original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) to embed and re-sell Docebo as a part of their software, including HCM, risk management and retail/hospitality SaaS product suites. Docebo’s Mobile App Publisher product allows companies to create their own branded version of the award-winning “Docebo Go.Learn” mobile learning application and publish it as their own in Apple’s App Store, the Google Play Store or in their own Apple Store for Enterprise.

In November 2019, Docebo announced the launch of “Docebo Virtual Coach”, “Docebo Mobile Pages” and “Docebo Discover”. Docebo Virtual Coach is an AI-powered assistant that engages with learners through a conversational user interface that sends push notifications about content or learning activities to be completed and makes personalized content recommendations, amongst other tasks. Docebo Mobile Pages gives administrators the ability to develop tailor-made mobile learning environments for different groups of learners on their platform with a drag-and-drop, widget-based interface. Docebo Discover uses AI to curate high-quality, highly personalized learning content based on the skills that learners want to develop for customers on the Docebo Discover, Coach & Share module.

Table of Contents

Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSX or other existing trading markets for the Securities. Any such transactions that are deemed “at-the-market-distributions” will be subject to regulatory approval. No underwriter, dealer or agent, no affiliate of such an underwriter, dealer or agent and no person acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter, dealer or agent involved in an “at-the-market distribution” will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation, including in the form of underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation received by them from the Company and/or any selling securityholder and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions. In connection with any offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities and other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution, the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions intended to fix, stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company and/or any selling securityholders, to indemnification by the Company and/or any selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company and/or any selling securityholders in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each series or issue of Securities (other than Common Shares) will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, there is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

There is no guarantee that the Securities will earn any positive return in the short term or long term.

A holding of Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. A holding of Securities is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their holdings.

Management of the Company will have broad discretion with respect to the application of net proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus and a future Prospectus Supplement.

Management of the Company may spend net proceeds received by the Company from a sale of Securities in ways that do not improve the Company’s results of operations or enhance the value of the Common Shares or its other securities issued and outstanding from time to time. Any failure by management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or cause the price of the securities of the Company issued and outstanding from time to time to decline.

The Company may sell additional Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares in subsequent offerings or may issue additional Common Shares or other Securities to finance future acquisitions.

The Company cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that such future sales and issuances will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common

Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Shares or other Securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and economic interest in the Company. Furthermore, to the extent holders of the Company’s stock options or other convertible securities convert or exercise their securities and sell the Common Shares they receive, the trading price of the Common Shares may decrease due to the additional amount of Common Shares available in the market.

The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control.

The factors which may contribute to market price fluctuations of the Common Shares include the following:

 

   

actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company’s quarterly results of operations;

 

   

recommendations by securities research analysts;

 

   

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of companies in the industry in which the Company operates;

 

   

addition or departure of the Company’s executive officers and other key personnel;

 

   

release or expiration of transfer restrictions on outstanding Common Shares;

 

   

sales or perceived sales of additional Common Shares;

 

   

operating and financial performance that vary from the expectations of management, securities analysts and investors;

 

   

regulatory changes affecting the Company’s industry generally and its business and operations;

 

   

announcements of developments and other material events by the Company or its competitors;

 

   

fluctuations to the costs of vital production materials and services;

 

   

changes in global financial markets and global economies and general market conditions, such as interest rates;

 

   

significant acquisitions or business combinations, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by or involving the Company or its competitors;

 

   

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to the Company or from a lack of market comparable companies; and

 

   

news reports relating to trends, concerns, technological or competitive developments, regulatory changes and other related issues in the Company’s industry or target markets.

The Company has not declared and paid dividends in the past and may not declare and pay dividends in the future.

Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, financial results, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the Company’s board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, investors may not receive any return on an investment in the Common Shares unless they sell their Common Shares for a price greater than that which such investors paid for them.

There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold.

As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell the Preferred Shares, Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units purchased under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities, other than the Common Shares, will develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for the Common Shares, will be sustained.

 

14


Table of Contents

Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Common Shares on the trading markets, or that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSX or any other public stock exchange.

The Debt Securities may be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other future unsecured debt.

The Debt Securities may be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future unsecured debt. The Debt Securities may be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. If we are involved in any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization, the secured debt holders would, to the extent of the value of the assets securing the secured debt, be paid before the holders of unsecured debt securities, including the debt securities. In that event, a holder of Debt Securities may not be able to recover any principal or interest due to it under the Debt Securities.

In addition, the collateral, if any, and all proceeds therefrom, securing any Debt Securities may be subject to higher priority liens in favor of other lenders and other secured parties which may mean that, at any time that any obligations that are secured by higher ranking liens remain outstanding, actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral (including the ability to commence enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings) may be at the direction of the holders of such indebtedness.

LEGAL MATTERS AND INTEREST OF EXPERTS

Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering and sale of Securities, certain legal matters relating to such offering and sale of Securities will be passed upon on behalf of the Company by Goodmans LLP with respect to matters of Canadian law. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with an offering and sale of Securities will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of such offering and sale by such underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to matters of Canadian and, if applicable, United States or other foreign law. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of Goodmans LLP, as a group, own less than 1% of the outstanding securities of the Company.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is the independent auditor of the Company and is independent within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario.

The transfer agent and registrar of the Company is TMX Trust Company at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) provides that a corporation may indemnify a director or officer of the corporation, a former director or officer of the corporation or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity (each of the foregoing, an “individual”), against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity. A corporation shall not indemnify such an individual unless the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request. In addition to the conditions set out above, the OBCA provides that, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by monetary penalty, the corporation shall not indemnify an individual described above unless the director or officer had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful. Where an individual has met the conditions set out under (a) and (b) above and was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done, such individual is entitled to indemnification from the corporation for such costs, charges and expenses which were reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity.

The by-laws of the Registrant provide that, the Registrant shall indemnify any director or officer of the Registrant, any former director or officer of the Registrant, or any individual who acts or acted at the Registrant’s request as a director, or officer or in a similar capacity, of another entity, and his or her heirs and legal representatives to the full extent permitted by the OBCA. To that effect, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers (each, an “Indemnified Party”) which provide, among other things, that the Registrant will indemnify an Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, costs, charges and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”) in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, demand, inquiry, hearing, discovery or other proceeding of any nature or kind in which Indemnified Party is involved because of the Indemnified Party’s association with the Registrant as well as any other circumstances or situations in respect of which an Indemnified Party reasonably requires legal advice or representation concerning such Losses by the Indemnified Party’s association with the Registrant.

The by-laws of the Registrant also provide that the Registrant shall purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in the above paragraph to the extent permitted by the OBCA.

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in a distribution of securities registered hereunder may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Registrant to indemnification by the Registrant against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be provided to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable.

The common shares of the Company to be outstanding after giving effect to the sales contemplated hereby are hereinafter referred to as the “Common Shares.” If the firm or firms listed in Schedule II hereto include only the Managers listed in Schedule I hereto, then the terms “Underwriters” and “Managers” as used herein shall each be deemed to refer to such firm or firms.

The Company meets the requirements under the Securities Act (Ontario) and the securities legislation applicable in each of the other provinces and territories of Canada (collectively, the “Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions”), and the rules, regulations and national, multi-jurisdictional or local instruments, policy statements, published policies, notices, blanket rulings and orders of the Canadian Securities Commissions (as defined below), and all discretionary rulings and orders applicable to the Company, if any, of the Canadian Securities Commissions (collectively, the “Canadian Securities Laws”), including the rules and procedures established pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 – Short Form Prospectus Distributions and National Instrument 44-102Shelf Distributions (together, the “Canadian Shelf Procedures”) for the distribution of securities in the Canadian Qualifying Jurisdictions pursuant to a final short form base shelf prospectus.

  referred to by the Company, any marketing materials, and amendments and supplements to any of the foregoing, including the filing fees payable to the Commission and the Canadian Securities Commissions relating to the Shares, all translation costs associated therewith, all printing and typesetting costs associated therewith, and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriters and dealers, in the quantities hereinabove specified, (ii) all costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Shares to and the sale by the Underwriters in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, including any transfer or similar taxes payable thereon, (iii) the cost of printing or producing any Blue Sky memorandum or filing fees in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares under state securities laws, including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection therewith, (iv) all filing fees and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification of the Offering by FINRA (the fees of counsel in (iii) and (iv) not to exceed $35,000), (v) all costs and expenses incident to listing the Shares on Nasdaq and the TSX, (vi) the cost of printing any certificates representing the Shares, (vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary, (viii) the cost of printing any certificates representing the Shares, (ix) the costs and expenses of the Company relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the offering of the Shares, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the preparation or dissemination of any electronic road show, and expenses associated with the production of road show slides in connection with the road show presentations with the prior approval of the Company, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and any such consultants, and 50% of the cost of any aircraft used prior to the date of this Agreement, provided that the Company will only be liable for any cost of chartered aircraft if it provided express prior consent to the use and charter and cost of such aircraft, (x) the document production charges and expenses associated with printing this Agreement, (xi) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section and (xii) all applicable sales taxes, to the extent not creditable or refundable, on any of the foregoing. It is understood, however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 8 entitled “Indemnity and Contribution” and the last paragraph of Section 10 below, the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with any offers they may make.

 

  (w)

The Company also covenants with each Underwriter that, without the prior written consent of the Managers identified in Schedule I with the authorization to release this lock-up on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose the intention to, during the restricted period set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Restricted Period”), (1) issue, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or

 

30


  exchangeable for Common Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (3) file any registration statement with the Commission or prospectus with the Canadian Securities Commissions relating to the offering of any Common Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the Shares to be sold by the Company hereunder, (b) the issuance of incentive compensation or equity (including Common Shares underlying equity awards) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the benefit plans described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses, as such benefit plans may be adopted, amended or restated, (c) any Common Shares issued pursuant to any non-employee director stock plan or dividend reinvestment plan referred to in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses, (d) the filing of one or more registration statements on Form S-8 relating to stock options, other equity awards, or employee benefit plans of the Company described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectuses, including plans to be adopted during the Restricted Period, provided that any awards issued pursuant to such plans adopted during the Restricted Period shall not vest during the Restricted Period; (e) Common Shares or other securities issued in connection with an acquisition or a transaction that includes a commercial relationship (including joint ventures, collaborations, partnership or other strategic acquisitions, but excluding stock options); provided (i) that the aggregate amount of Common Shares issued in connection with such transactions does not exceed 10% of the total shares outstanding of the Company upon consummation of the Offering and (ii) in the case of any such issuance in connection with such transactions prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, the issuee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, or (f) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or similar plan under Canadian securities laws for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Shares during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Shares may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period. In addition, the Company covenants to cause each of the parties listed on Annex A hereto to enter into the “lock-up” agreements, each substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, on or before the Closing Date.

 

7.

Covenants of the Underwriters. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but for the action of the Underwriter. Each Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees that (i) it has not made and will not make use of any materials that would

 

31


  constitute marketing materials relating to the Offering except marketing materials identified in Schedule I or marketing materials prepared in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, and (ii) it will comply with Canadian securities laws in connection with the distribution of the Shares and the provision of any marketing materials or standard term sheets (as defined in NI 41-101) relating to the distribution of the Shares.

 

8.

Indemnity and Contribution.

 

  (a)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim, but excluding loss of profits and other consequential damages) (collectively, “Damages”) arising out of any misrepresentation or untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any preliminary prospectus (including the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus), the Time of Sale Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any marketing materials, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show, or the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arising out of any misrepresentation or omission or alleged misrepresentation or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Damages are arising out of any such misrepresentation or untrue statement or omission or alleged misrepresentation or untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in paragraph (b) below. The rights of indemnity contained in this paragraph will not inure to the benefit of an indemnified party in respect of a claim other than a claim made under U.S. securities laws if the person asserting the claim was not provided by or on behalf of the Underwriters with a copy furnished promptly by the Company of any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto which would have corrected any misrepresentation which is the basis of the claim and which was required under Canadian Securities Laws to be delivered to that person by the Underwriters.

 

  (b)

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the directors of the Company, the officers of the Company who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such

 

32


  Underwriter furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus (including the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus), the Time of Sale Prospectus, any issuer free writing prospectus, marketing materials, road show, or the Prospectuses or any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectuses furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information contained in the eleventh through fourteenth paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the U.S. Final Prospectus.

 

  (c)

In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8(a) or 8(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel for the indemnified party in accordance with the preceding sentence, or (iii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (i) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel, which shall include counsel in each of the United States and Canada in the case of a matter involving U.S. and Canadian law) for all Underwriters and all persons, if any, who control any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act or who are affiliates of any Underwriter within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act and (ii) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel, which shall include counsel in each of the United States and Canada in the case of a matter involving U.S. and Canadian law) for the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Underwriters and such control persons and affiliates of any Underwriters, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Managers authorized to appoint counsel under this Section set forth in Schedule I hereto. In the case of

 

33


  any such separate firm for the Company, and such directors, officers and control persons of the Company, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

 

  (d)

To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 8(a) or 8(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Damages referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the Offering or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(d)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(d)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages and any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the Offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters bear to the aggregate initial public offering price of the Shares set forth in the U.S. Final Prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the misrepresentation or untrue statement of a material fact or alleged misrepresentation or untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters and the parties’

 

34


  relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such misrepresentation, statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8 are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint.

 

  (e)

The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Damages referred to in Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such misrepresentation or untrue statement or alleged misrepresentation or untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 8 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

 

  (f)

The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, any person controlling any Underwriter or any affiliate of any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

 

9.

Termination. The Underwriters may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE American, Nasdaq or the TSX, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on Nasdaq or TSX, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or Canada shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by U.S. Federal or New York State or Canadian authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, currency exchange rates or controls or any calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and which,

 

35


  singly or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectuses.

 

10.

Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If, on the Closing Date or an Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule II bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be increased pursuant to this Section 10 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to you, the Company for the purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except in respect of any liability which may have arisen or may arise under Sections 6(u) and 8. In any such case either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement, in the Time of Sale Prospectus, in the Prospectuses or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. If, on an Option Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i) terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase the Additional Shares to be sold on such Option Closing Date or (ii) purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement (other than by reason of a default of one of the Underwriters), or if for any reason (other than by reason of a default of one of the

 

36


Underwriters) the Company shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement (which, for purposes of this paragraph, should not include termination pursuant to Section 9(i), (iii), (iv) or (v)), the Company will reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the Offering contemplated hereunder.

 

11.

Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agents for Service.

 

  (a)

The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York (the “Specified Courts”) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Prospectuses, the Registration Statement or the Offering (each, a “Related Proceeding”). The Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such Related Proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding in respect of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

  (b)

The Company hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System with offices at 28 Liberty Street, New York, New York 10005, U.S.A., as its agent for service of process in any Related Proceeding and agrees that service of process in any such Related Proceeding may be made upon it at the office of such agent. The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Company represents and warrants that such agent has agreed to act as the agent for service of process, and the Company agrees to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect for a period of seven years from the date of this Agreement.

 

12.

Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

 

  (a)

In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United State.

 

37


  (b)

In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

13.

Entire Agreement.

 

  (a)

This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the Offering, represents the entire agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus (including the Canadian Preliminary Prospectus), the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectuses, the conduct of the Offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

 

  (b)

The Company acknowledges that in connection with the Offering: (i) the Underwriters have acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriters owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement, any contemporaneous written agreements and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriters may have interests that differ from those of the Company and (iv) none of the activities of the Underwriters in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriters with respect to any entity or natural person. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Underwriters arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the Offering.

 

14.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon

 

38


  the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

15.

Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

 

16.

Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

 

17.

Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriters could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company with respect to any sum due from it to any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by such Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that such Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Company agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, such Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to such Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

 

18.

All communications hereunder shall be in writing and effective only upon receipt and if to the Underwriters shall be delivered, mailed or sent to you at the address set forth in Schedule I hereto; and if to the Company shall be delivered, mailed or sent to the address set forth in Schedule I hereto.

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Canaccord Genuity LLC (collectively, the “Managers”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Docebo Inc., a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Company”), providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the several Underwriters, including the Managers (the “Underwriters”), of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Managers on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, and will not publicly disclose the intention to, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date that is 90 days after the date of the final U.S. prospectus (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include transfers from any account directly or beneficially owned by the undersigned to any other account directly or beneficially owned by the undersigned) or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Common Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of

(h)

transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Common Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriters are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriters have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Underwriters solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Public Offering of the Common Shares and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriters may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection with the Public Offering, the Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Public Offering or sell any Common Shares at the price determined in the Public Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

This lock-up agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the date the Company notifies the Managers in writing prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement that the Company does not intend to proceed with the Offering; (b) the termination date of the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof that survive termination), provided that no Common Shares have been delivered and paid for pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement before such date; (c) the withdrawal of the Registration Statement prior to execution of the Underwriting Agreement; and (d) January 31, 2021 in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date.

This lock-up agreement may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
