• | Cannae Backstop. |

In such event, the 14,785,715 AUS Class B Shares and 14,785,715 AUS Class C Shares held by the Sponsor and certain Sponsor Persons would be worthless because the holders thereof are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares.

These purchases took place on a private placement basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Austerlitz IPO. A portion of the proceeds Austerlitz received from these purchases was placed in the Trust Account. Such warrants would have had an aggregate market value of approximately $[●] based upon the closing price of the Austerlitz Public Warrants on the NYSE of $[●] per warrant on [●], 2021, the Record Date for the Austerlitz Extraordinary General Meeting.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, Cannae will hold approximately between 0.28% direct or indirect voting interest (assuming No Redemptions) and 17.85% direct or indirect voting interest (assuming Maximum Redemptions and assuming that the Current Company Equityholders receive WBET Class A Shares as Merger Consideration), which figures include Cannae’s interest in each class of WBET Shares as applicable, and include the WBET Class C Shares. |

In connection with the Cannae Backstop, Austerlitz has agreed to pay to Cannae a placement fee of $3,450,000. |
• | The fact that if Austerlitz is unable to complete a business combination by March 2, 2023 (as such date may be extended with the approval of Austerlitz Shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to Austerlitz if and to the extent any claims by a third party, including claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Austerlitz for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Austerlitz (other than Austerlitz’s independent auditors), reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Austerlitz Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account (if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets), in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay Austerlitz’s taxes (if any). If Austerlitz consummates the Business Combination, on the other hand, the Company will be liable for all such claims. |
• | Austerlitz’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket |
claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Austerlitz may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination, are not completed by March 2, 2023. |
• | The continued indemnification of Austerlitz’s current directors and officers and the continuation of coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance following the Business Combination. |
• | Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will have the right to designate up to one director (and to jointly with Wynn designate the Initial Independent Directors) to the WBET Board, subject to certain conditions and certain step-down provisions. |
• | Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggyback rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the WBET Shares held by them from time to time. |
• | The fact that, due to the nature of the Austerlitz securities that are held by the Sponsor and Sponsor Persons, the Sponsor and Sponsor Persons could earn a positive rate of return on its investment, even if other Austerlitz shareholders experience a negative rate of return on their investment in Austerlitz or WBET. |
• | The fact that, based on the closing price of AUS Class A Shares on , 2021, of $ , the Sponsor and Sponsor Persons’ interest in WBET immediately following the Closing would be worth approximately $ million, as a result of the Sponsor and Sponsor Persons’ holdings of 11,089,286 AUS Class B Shares (under the No Redemptions scenario). |
• | The fact that the Sponsors have incurred approximately $737,400 of expenses in connection with the formation and search for Austerlitz’s initial business combination that are subject to reimbursement by Austerlitz, of which approximately $488,000 remained unpaid as of June 30, 2021. |
• | The COVID-19 pandemic and future outbreak of any other highly infectious or contagious disease, including the global economic uncertainty and measures taken in response. |
• | The inability to adequately protect key intellectual property rights or proprietary technology. |
• | Risks associated with changes in applicable laws or regulations, including but not limited to Gaming Laws, that could have an adverse effect on WBET’s business. |
• | The possibility that WBET may be adversely affected by other economic, business or competitive factors. |
• | Risks associated with WBET’s international operations. |
• | Risks associated with competition with WBET’s competitors and WBET’s failure to apply and develop new technologies as quickly as WBET’s competitors. |
• | Risks associated with past and prospective acquisitions, including the failure to successfully integrate operations, personnel, systems, technologies and products of the acquired companies, adverse tax consequences of acquisitions, greater than expected liabilities of the acquired companies and charges to earnings from acquisitions. |
• | Failure to maintain adequate operational and financial resources or raise additional capital or generate sufficient cash flows. |
• | Failure to obtain or maintain certain Gaming Approvals. |
• | Cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities and other significant disruptions in WBET’s information technology systems and networks that could expose WBET to legal liability, impair its reputation or negative effect on WBET’s results of operations. |
• | The results of operations of the Post-Closing Company may differ significantly from the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus. |
• | The inability of WBET to develop and maintain effective internal controls. |
• | The inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, and the ability of WBET to grow and manage growth profitably and retain its key employees. |
• | The possibility of a decline in economic activity that could impact WBET’s results of operations. |
• | The potential for conflicts of interest arising out of any of WBET’s executive officers and members of WBET Board allocating their time to other businesses, including Wynn Parent, and not exclusively to WBET, and that Bermuda law does not require that directors present potential business opportunities to WBET, if such opportunities do not arise in the course of the directors acting as directors of WBET. |
• | Following the Business Combination, WBET will be a “controlled company” under NASDAQ rules. As a controlled company, WBET will be exempt from certain corporate governance requirements. Because WBET intends to avail itself of the “controlled company” exception under the NASDAQ rules, WBET may choose to rely upon these exemptions and, as a result, holders of WBET Shares will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the NASDAQ corporate governance requirements. |
• | Austerlitz has no operating history and if it fails to consummate the Business Combination, it may not attain profitable operations and the management may not succeed in achieving Austerlitz’ business objectives. |
• | The inability to complete the Business Combination, including due to the failure to obtain approval from Austerlitz Shareholders of the Required Austerlitz Proposals, or the failure to meet any other conditions to closing in the Business Combination Agreement. |
• | The occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Business Combination or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement. |
• | The amount of redemptions made by Austerlitz Shareholders. |
• | Costs related to the Business Combination. |
• | The fact that Austerlitz did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination. |
• | The outcome of any known or unknown litigation or regulatory proceedings, including legal proceedings that may be instituted against Austerlitz or the Company following announcement of the proposed Business Combination. |
• | The inability to obtain or maintain Requisite Gaming Approvals and/or certain other Gaming Approvals. |
• | The inability to maintain the listing of the AUS Class A Shares on the NYSE or the failure to receive approval to list WBET Class A Shares on the NYSE or NASDAQ following the Business Combination. |
• | The risk that the proposed Business Combination disrupts the plans and operations of Austerlitz or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Transactions described herein. |
• | The diversion of management’s attention and consumption of resources as a result of the proposed Business Combination or any potential acquisitions of other companies. |

In such event, the 14,785,715 AUS Class B Shares and 14,785,715 AUS Class C Shares held by the Sponsor and certain Sponsor Persons would be worthless because the holders thereof are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares.

A portion of the proceeds Austerlitz received from these purchases was placed in the Trust Account.

The Private Placement Warrants will become worthless if Austerlitz does not consummate a business combination by March 2, 2023 (or any extension of such date if approved by Austerlitz Shareholders). |
• | William P. Foley, II will become a director of the Post-Closing Company after the closing of the Business Combination. As such, in the future Mr. Foley will receive any cash fees, and/or equity or equity-based stock awards that the WBET Board determines to pay to its non-executive directors.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, Cannae will hold approximately between 0.28% direct or indirect voting interest (assuming No Redemptions) and 17.85% direct or indirect voting interest (assuming Maximum Redemptions and assuming that the Current Company Equityholders receive WBET Class A Shares as Merger Consideration), which figures include Cannae’s interest in each class of WBET Shares as applicable, and include the WBET Class C Shares. |

• | The fact that if Austerlitz is unable to complete a business combination within by March 2, 2023 (as such date may be extended with the approval of Austerlitz Shareholders), the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to Austerlitz if and to the extent any claims by a third party, including claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Austerlitz for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Austerlitz (other than Austerlitz’s independent auditors), reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Austerlitz Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account (if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets), in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay Austerlitz’s taxes (if any). If Austerlitz consummates the Business Combination, on the other hand, the Company will be liable for all such claims. |
• | Austerlitz’s officers and directors, and their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket |
• | The continued indemnification of Austerlitz’s current directors and officers and the continuation of coverage under directors’ and officers’ liability insurance following the Business Combination. |
• | Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will have the right to designate up to one director (and to, jointly with Wynn designate the Initial Independent Directors) to the WBET Board, subject to certain conditions and certain step-down provisions. |
• | Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the Sponsor will have customary registration rights, including demand and piggyback rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions with respect to the WBET Shares held by them from time to time. |

• | that (i) the AUS Class A Shares and Austerlitz Public Warrants shall continue to be listed on the NYSE as of immediately prior to the Closing and the WBET Shares to be issued in connection with the Transactions or that may become issuable following the Transactions pursuant to the terms of any Transaction Agreement shall have been approved for listing on NYSE, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, or (ii) the AUS Class A Shares and Austerlitz Public Warrants shall be approved for listing on NASDAQ such that the AUS Class A Shares and Austerlitz Public Warrants issued and outstanding prior to Closing and the WBET Shares to be issued in connection with the Transactions or that may become issuable following the Transactions pursuant to the terms of any Transaction Agreement shall have been approved for listing on NASDAQ, subject only to official notice of issuance thereof; and |

Shareholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations | Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval-there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by 50%+1 in number and 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a shareholders’ meeting. |
There are a number of mechanisms for acquiring a Bermuda limited company, including: Schemes of Arrangement: Bermuda companies are able to apply to the Bermuda Court under Section 99 of the Bermuda Companies Act to obtain the Court’s sanction of a proposed scheme of arrangement. Schemes may be transfer schemes or cancellation schemes but, unlike a transfer scheme, a cancellation scheme requires the company to pass a solvency test or obtain the agreement of all of its creditors to the scheme. In either case, dissenting shareholders do not have express statutory appraisal rights, but the Bermuda Court will only sanction a scheme if it is fair. Shares owned by the offeror can be voted to approve the scheme but the Bermuda Court will be concerned to see that the shareholders approving the scheme are fairly representative of the general body of shareholders. |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
Under the Bermuda Companies Act, any scheme must be approved by a majority in number representing three quarters in value of the shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy at the requisite special general meeting. This threshold cannot be reduced by the company’s bye-laws. If there are dissenting shareholders who hold more than 10% of the shares, the Bermuda Court might be persuaded not to exercise its discretion to sanction the scheme on the ground that the scheme constitutes a takeover within Section 102 of the Bermuda Companies Act and requires a 90% acceptance. This 90% requirement cannot be reduced by the company’s bye-laws or otherwise. | ||||
A Bermuda company may effect a squeeze-out of a minority shareholder in a Bermuda company by way of a general offer followed by a squeeze-out under Section 102 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Broadly, if the offer is approved by the holders of 90% in value of the shares which are the subject of the offer, the offeror can compulsorily acquire the shares of dissenting shareholders. Shares owned by the offeror or its subsidiaries or their nominees at the date of the offer do not, however, count towards the 90%. If the offeror or any of its subsidiaries or any nominee of the offeror, or any of its subsidiaries together already own more than 10% of the shares in the subject company at the date of the offer, the offeror must offer the same terms to all holders of the same class and the holders who accept the offer, besides holding |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
not less than 90% in value of the shares, must also represent no less than 75% in number of the holders of those shares, although the additional restrictions should not apply if the offer is made by a subsidiary of a parent (where the subsidiary does not own more than 10% of the shares of the subject company) even where the parent owns more than 10% of the shares of the subject company, provided that the subsidiary and the parent are not nominees. The percentages above cannot be varied by the company’s bye- laws. | ||||
The 90% acceptance must be obtained within four months after the making of the offer and, once obtained, the compulsory acquisition may be commenced within two months of the acquisition of the 90%. Dissenting shareholders do not have express appraisal rights but are entitled to seek relief (within one month of the compulsory acquisition notice) from the Bermuda Court which has power to make such orders as it thinks fit. The above time frames cannot be varied by the company’s bye-laws. | ||||
There is an alternative squeeze-out mechanism exercisable by the holders of 95% or more of the shares or any class of shares serving notice on the remaining shareholders or class of shareholders under Section 103 of the Bermuda Companies Act. Dissenting shareholders have a right to apply to the Bermuda Court within one month of the compulsory acquisition notice to have the value of their shares appraised by the Bermuda Court, but these appraisal rights differ from the appraisal rights in a merger, in that under Section 103 |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
of the Bermuda Companies Act, if one dissenting shareholder applies to court and is successful in obtaining a higher valuation, that valuation must be paid to all shareholders being squeezed out. The above 95% threshold cannot be varied by the company’s bye-laws. | ||||
Amalgamations and Mergers: | ||||
Under the Bermuda Companies Act, the amalgamation or merger of a Bermuda company with another company (wherever incorporated) (other than certain affiliated companies) requires, subject to the company’s bye-laws, the amalgamation or merger to be approved by the company’s board of directors and by its shareholders. The Bermuda Companies Act prescribes approval by 75% of shareholders but permits companies to reduce this in its bye-laws to a simple majority. Under the WBET Bye-Laws: (i) where an amalgamation or merger has been approved by WBET’s board of directors, a simple majority of shareholders is required to approve such amalgamation or merger; and (ii) where an amalgamation or merger has not been approved by WBET’s board of directors, approval by 66 2/3% of all the issued and outstanding voting shares of WBET is required. | ||||
For purposes of approval of an amalgamation or merger, all shares, whether or not otherwise entitled to vote, carry the right to vote. Holders of a separate class of shares are entitled to a separate class vote if the rights of such class would be varied by virtue of the amalgamation or merger. |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
Shareholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters | Under Cayman Islands law and the Austerlitz Organizational Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the shareholders as being entitled to do so). | Under Bermuda law and the WBET Bye-Laws, anything which may be done by resolution of WBET in a general meeting or by resolution of a meeting of any class of shareholders may be done without a meeting by written resolution. A written resolution is passed when it is signed by the shareholders who at the date that the notice is given represent such majority of votes as would be required if the resolution was voted on at a meeting of shareholders at which all shareholders entitled to attend and vote thereat were present and voting. | ||
Appraisal Rights | Minority shareholders that dissent from a Cayman Islands statutory merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court. | Under the Bermuda Companies Act, a dissenting shareholder of an amalgamating or merging company who did not vote in favor of the amalgamation or merger and does not believe it has been offered fair value for its shares may within one month of the giving of the notice calling the meeting at which the amalgamation or merger was decided upon apply to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of its shares. Where the Bermuda Court has appraised any such shares and the amalgamation or merger has not been consummated before the appraisal then, within one month of the Bermuda Court appraising the value of the shares, the company is entitled to either: (i) pay to the dissenting shareholder an amount equal to the value of its shares as appraised by the Bermuda Court; or (ii) terminate the amalgamation or merger agreement in accordance with the Bermuda Companies Act. | ||
Where the Bermuda Court has appraised the fair value of any |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
shares and the amalgamation or merger has proceeded prior to the appraisal then, within one month of the Bermuda Court appraising the value of the shares, if the amount (if any) paid to the dissenting shareholder for his or her shares is less than that appraised by the Bermuda Court, the amalgamated or surviving company must pay to such shareholder the difference between the amount paid to such shareholder and the value appraised by the Bermuda Court. | ||||
There is no right of appeal from an appraisal by the Bermuda Court. The costs of any application to the Bermuda Court to appraise the fair value of any shares will be allocated between the company and the shareholder in the discretion of the Bermuda Court. | ||||
Inspection of Books and Records | Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company. | Pursuant to the WBET Bye-Laws, the WBET Board is required to keep records of account at WBET’s registered office for inspection by the directors. Where the records of account are held in a location outside of Bermuda, the directors are required to keep at WBET’s office such records as will enable the directors to ascertain with reasonably accuracy the financial position of WBET at the end of each three month period. WBET Shareholders have no right to inspect any accounting record or book or document of WBET except as provided for by law or authorized by the WBET Board.WBET must also keep a register of shareholders at its registered office in Bermuda for public inspection and the Secretary of WBET is required to establish and | ||
maintain a register of directors and officers for public inspection |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
as prescribed by the Bermuda Companies Act. As a Bermuda company whose shares will be listed on an appointed stock exchange (i.e. the NYSE), WBET may, in addition to its register of members at its registered office, keep one or more branch registers in a location outside of Bermuda. However, such branch register(s) must be kept in the same manner in which the register of members in Bermuda must be kept. | ||||
Shareholder/Shareholder Lawsuits | In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances. | In Bermuda, the rights of shareholders under Bermuda law are not as extensive as the rights of shareholders under legislation or judicial precedent in other jurisdictions. The Bermuda Court ordinarily would be expected to follow English case law precedent, which would permit a shareholder to commence an action in the company’s name to remedy a wrong done to the company where the act complained of is alleged to be beyond its corporate power or is illegal or would result in the violation of its memorandum of association or bye-laws. Furthermore, consideration would be given by the Bermuda Court to acts that are alleged to constitute a fraud against the minority shareholders or, for instance, where an act requires the approval of a greater percentage of shareholders than that which actually approved it or where a power vested in the board of directors has been exercised for an improper purpose.When the affairs of a company are being conducted in a manner which is oppressive or prejudicial to the interests of some part of the | ||
shareholders, one or more shareholders may apply to the |
Provisions |

Bermuda | ||
Bermuda Court, which may make such order as it sees fit, including an order regulating the conduct of the company’s affairs in the future or ordering the purchase of the shares of any shareholders by other shareholders or by the company. | ||||
The WBET Bye-Laws contain a provision by which each WBET Shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action it might have, whether individually or by or in the right of WBET, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for WBET; however, such waiver does not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such director or officer. | ||||
Fiduciary Duties of Directors | A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole. In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill. Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances. |
The directors of WBET have certain statutory and fiduciary duties. All of the directors individually owe a fiduciary duty and a duty of skill and care in their dealings with or on behalf of WBET and the Bermuda Companies Act imposes various duties on directors and officers of WBET with respect to certain matters of management and administration of WBET. The Bermuda Companies Act imposes a duty on directors and officers of a Bermuda company: (i) to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company; (ii) to exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances; and |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
(iii) to disclose any interest in any material contract or proposed material contract or person that is party to a material contract or proposed material contract to the board of the company at the first opportunity. Under Bermuda law, a person who is a director may be found personally liable for any breach of his or her fiduciary duties. The Bermuda Companies Act provides that in any proceedings for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust against any officer (which includes a director), if it appears to a court that such officer is or may be liable in respect of the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, but that he or she has acted honestly and reasonably, and that, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, including those connected with his or her appointment, he or she ought fairly to be excused for the negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, that court may relieve him or her, either wholly or partly, from any liability on such terms as the court may think fit. This provision has been interpreted to apply only to actions brought by or on behalf of a company against such officers. | ||||
In the WBET Bye-Laws, each WBET Shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action they might have, whether individually or by or in the right of WBET, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for WBET or any subsidiary thereof; provided, however, that such waiver does |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
not extend to any claims or rights of action arising out of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such director or officer. | ||||
A director of a Bermuda company is not liable for the acts of co-directors or company officers solely by virtue of being a director. Rather, a director may rely in good faith on executives who have been appointed specifically for the purpose of attending to the detail of management. However, directors cannot absolve themselves entirely of their responsibility by delegation to others. | ||||
Indemnification of Directors and Officers | A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except with regard to fraud or willful default. | To the fullest extent permitted by Bermuda law, the WBET Bye-Laws and the Bermuda Companies Act confer an indemnity on its directors and any other officers against losses arising or liability resulting from their negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to WBET; provided that WBET is not permitted to indemnify any such person against any liability arising from their fraud or dishonesty.The WBET Bye-Laws provide that:(i) WBET will indemnify every director, resident representative, secretary and other officer and the liquidator or trustees (if any) acting in relation to any of the affairs of WBET or any subsidiary thereof (each an “ Indemnitee ”) out of the assets of WBET against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred or sustained by him or her by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts; |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
provided that such indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of fraud or dishonesty in relation to WBET which may attach to the Indemnitee; and (ii) WBET will indemnify each person who is a party to or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of being or agreeing to become a director or officer of WBET or serving or agreeing to serve, at the request of WBET, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided that such indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty in relation to WBET which may attach to any such person. | ||||
In addition, WBET is expected to enter into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. These agreements would provide WBET’s directors with contractual assurance of their rights to indemnification against litigation risks and expenses, which indemnification is intended to be greater than that afforded by WBET Bye-Laws. | ||||
WBET Bye-Laws also provide that WBET may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any indemnified person against any liability incurred by him or her under the Bermuda Companies Act in his or her capacity as a director or officer or indemnifying |
Provisions |
Cayman Islands |
Bermuda | ||
such indemnified person in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to him or her by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the indemnified person may be guilty in relation to WBET or any subsidiary thereof. | ||||
Limited Liability of Directors | Liability of directors may be unlimited, except with regard to their own fraud or willful default. | As permitted by Bermuda law, the WBET Bye-Laws contain a provision by which each WBET Shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action it might have, whether individually or by or in the right of WBET, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his or her duties with or for WBET or any subsidiary thereof; however, such waiver does not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such director or officer. Further, under Bermuda law, a company may not indemnify and exempt from liability any director, officer or auditor against any liability arising from their fraud or dishonesty. |

• | New jurisdictions in the U.S. authorizing and/or privatizing their iGaming and online sports betting industries. |
• | Increased customer adoption of digital activities including casino and sports betting. While many other large domestic industries (e.g. banks, retail stores, movies, etc.) digitalized over a decade ago, the U.S. gaming industry is just starting to do so now. |
• | COVID-19 reduced tax revenues in many states, increasing the need for new sources of revenue. |
• | COVID-19 increased general consumer adoption of digital activity including iGaming and online sports betting. |
• | The online sports betting and iGaming TAM for many states may be materially underestimated by Wall Street analysts and peers alike. So far in 2021, several brokers and peers, such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, DraftKings and BetMGM, have increased their TAM estimates. Early results in Michigan suggest a similar trend with March 2021 run-rate annual GGR of $1.5 billion being 83% greater than Morgan Stanley’s equity research TAM estimate for 2022 GGR of $821 million. |
(4) | Reflects a long-term estimate for U.S. TAM of $39B based on the average of Macquarie and Goldman Sachs equity research for 2030E as of March 2021. Implied Canadian TAM of $6B based on the 2020 estimated adult population for Canada per Statistics Canada as of 12/31/2020 multiplied by the average GGR per adult in the U.K. market as of 12/31/20 (sports betting GGR of $68 per adult and iGaming GGR of $116 per adult) and GGR per adult in the NJ market as of 12/31/2020 (sports betting GGR of $59 per adult and iGaming GGR of $142 per adult). |

2020 | 217,093 | 68,302 | — | 787,434 | — | 1,681 | 1,074,510 |
(1) | The amounts set forth in this column reflect each Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary approved by Parent’s Compensation Committee. On March 23, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Mr. Billings elected to receive 50% of the remainder of his annual base salary in the form of a Parent restricted stock award. The full annual base salary for Mr. Billings is reflected above, and the incremental value of such restricted stock award, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, is included in the Stock Awards column. Such incremental amount included in the Stock Awards column for Mr. Billings is $14,127. The number of Parent shares Mr. Billings was granted was determined based on the total amount of his base salary due for the remainder of the fiscal year and the 3-day volume weighted average of Parent’s stock price ending on March 20, 2020. |
(2) | Amounts represent the grant date fair value of the restricted shares and stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, excluding estimated forfeitures. Performance-based restricted share awards in this column are reflected based on the probable outcome of such conditions as of the applicable grant date in accordance with accounting standards for stock-based compensation. All performance-based restricted share awards were deemed probable of vesting on the grant date. See Note 7 —“Stock-Based Compensation” to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this registration statement for assumptions used in computing fair value. |
(3) | Amounts represent annual bonuses earned by each Named Executive Officer for fiscal 2020 pursuant to the opportunity set forth in his respective Employment Agreement. See “—Narrative to Summary Compensation Table—Executive Employment Agreements” below for further information regarding these bonus opportunities. For Mr. Billings, Parent’s Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to pay 50% of his actual earned annual incentive in the form of an award of Parent stock that was conditioned on his continued employment and vested on December 31, 2020. Accordingly, the grant date fair value of such Parent stock, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, excluding estimated forfeitures, is included in the “Stock Awards” column above. |
(4) | The following amounts are included in “All Other Compensation” for fiscal 2020 for Mr. Billings: (i) accrued cash dividends on unvested Parent restricted stock in the amount of $6,809; (ii) insurance premiums and benefits, including executive life and medical insurance, in the amount of $144; and (iii) reimbursement of taxes related to work performed in Massachusetts in the amount of $289. For fiscal 2020, Parent paid the nonresident state income taxes imposed on Mr. Billings, who was required to travel on Company business and perform services in states other than his state of employment. This tax liability primarily arose as the result of his travel to and work in Massachusetts in connection with |
Parent’s Encore Boston Harbor resort. Parent’s reimbursement covers the incremental cost of the nonresident taxes and puts Mr. Billings in the same economic position as though he had worked in his normal places of business. The amounts included in “All Other Compensation” for fiscal 2020 for Messrs. Kohen and Guler reflect the total amount of employer contributions made to their respective accounts under the Company’s pension plan. |
(5) | Messrs. Billings and Kohen serve on the Board but are not paid additional compensation for such service. |
(6) | For Mr. Billings, the amounts reflected in the Salary, Stock Awards, Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation and All Other Compensation columns equal 10.2% of the total respective amounts included in Parent’s Summary Compensation Table, which reflects the percentage of Mr. Billings’ business time dedicated to the Company. The full grant date fair value of stock options granted to Mr. Billings, as computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718, excluding estimated forfeitures, is included in the “Option Awards” column above due to such grant being made solely in connection with Mr. Billings’ services to the Company. |
(7) | For Messrs. Guler and Kohen, all cash amounts were originally paid in British pounds. These amounts were converted into USD for purposes of this presentation at the average exchange rate for the 2020 calendar year of USD $1.28 per GBP £1.00, as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. |

(1) | “Adjusted EBITDA” is net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and corporate and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating the Company’s operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments, make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses, and to compare the operating performance with those of its competitors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA does not include |
depreciation and amortization and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures. The Company has significant uses of cash flows, including corporate expenses and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Also, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. |

(1) | “Adjusted EBITDA” is net loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, and corporate and other expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented exclusively as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it is widely used to measure the performance, and provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the operating performance of its segments, make strategic decisions, including those relating to operating expenses, and to compare the operating performance with those of its competitors. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Unlike net income (loss), Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization and therefore does not reflect current or future capital expenditures. We have significant uses of cash flows, corporate expenses and other non-recurring charges, which are not reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Also, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation methods used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited. |

5. |
Calls on Shares |
5.1. | The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in respect of any moneys (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Members (and not |
made payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue) and, if a call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the Member may at the discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the amount of such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the date when such call was payable up to the actual date of payment. The Board may differentiate between the holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such calls. |
5.2. | Any amount which, by the terms of allotment of a share, becomes payable upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value of the share or by way of premium, shall for the purposes of these Bye-laws be deemed to be an amount on which a call has been duly made and payable on the date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Bye-laws as to payment of interest, costs and expenses, forfeiture or otherwise shall apply as if such amount had become payable by virtue of a duly made and notified call. |
5.3. | The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls and any interest, costs and expenses in respect thereof. |

6. |
Forfeiture of Shares |
6.1. | If any Member fails to pay, on the day appointed for payment thereof, any call in respect of any share allotted to or held by such Member, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as the call remains unpaid, direct the Secretary to forward such Member a notice in writing in the form, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of the following: |
6.2. | If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company and may be disposed of as the Board shall determine. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the disposal may take place by sale, repurchase, redemption or any other method of disposal permitted by and consistent with these Bye-laws and the Act. |
6.3. | A Member whose share or shares have been so forfeited shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture, together with all interest due thereon and any costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith. |
6.4. | The Board may accept the surrender of any shares which it is in a position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed. Subject to those terms and conditions, a surrendered share shall be treated as if it had been forfeited. |
7. |

The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in a particular case, that any or all signatures on certificates may be printed thereon or affixed by mechanical means. |
7.2. | The Company shall be under no obligation to complete and deliver a share certificate unless specifically called upon to do so by the person to whom the shares have been allotted. |
7.3. | If any share certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid, or destroyed the Board may cause a new certificate to be issued and request an indemnity for the lost certificate if it sees fit. |
7.4. | Notwithstanding any provisions of these Bye-laws: |
(a) | the Board shall, subject always to the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations and the facilities and requirements of any relevant system concerned, have power to implement any arrangements it may, in its absolute discretion, think fit in relation to the evidencing of title to and transfer of uncertificated shares and to the extent such arrangements are so implemented, no provision of these Bye-laws shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the holding or transfer of shares in uncertificated form; and |
(b) | unless otherwise determined by the Board and as permitted by the Act and any other applicable laws and regulations, no person shall be entitled to receive a certificate in respect of any share for so long as the title to that share is evidenced otherwise than by a certificate and for so long as transfers of that share may be made otherwise than by a written instrument. |

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that Member before such Member’s death or bankruptcy, as the case may be. |
12.4. | Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or shares, then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to such share or shares and the Company shall recognise no claim in respect of the estate of any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders. |

Such payment shall not constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof. |
17.5. | The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and drafts by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at least two consecutive occasions or, following one such occasion, reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member’s new address.

18.2. | The Board may capitalise any amount for the time being standing to the credit of a reserve account or amounts otherwise available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in paying up in full, partly or nil paid shares of those Members who would have been entitled to such amounts if they were distributed by way of dividend or distribution. |

52.2. | The Company shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a Director or Officer of the Company, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the request of the Company, as a Director, Officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) (all such persons also to be included as an “Indemnitee” for purposes of this Bye-law 52.2), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any |

52.4. | As a condition precedent to an Indemnitee’s right to be indemnified, such Indemnitee must notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnitee for which indemnity will or could be sought. With respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Company is so notified, the Company will be entitled to participate therein at its own expense and/or to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election so to assume such defense, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, other than as provided below in this Bye-law 52.4. The Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his or her own counsel in connection with such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense thereof shall be at the expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) counsel to Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest or position on any significant issue between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation or (iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or investigation, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for Indemnitee shall be at the expense of the Company, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Bye-law 52.4. The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company or as to which counsel for Indemnitee shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided for in clause (ii) above. The Company shall not be required to indemnify Indemnitee under this Bye-law 52.4 for any amounts paid in settlement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation effected without its written consent. The Company shall not settle any action, suit, proceeding or investigation in any manner which would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent. Neither the Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any proposed settlement. |
52.5. | The Company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Indemnitee against any liability incurred by him under the Act in his capacity as an Indemnitee or indemnifying such Indemnitee in respect of any loss arising or liability attaching to him by virtue of any rule of law in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which the Indemnitee may be guilty in relation to the Company or any subsidiary thereof. |
52.6. | Subject to the provisions of Bye-law 52.7, in the event of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation of which the Company receives notice under this Bye-law 52, any expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by or on behalf of an Indemnitee in defending an action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such matter; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of such matter shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced in the event that it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Bye-law 52; and further provided that no such advancement of expenses shall be made under this Bye-law 52 if it is determined (in the manner described in Bye-law 52.7) that (i) Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the financial ability of Indemnitee to make such repayment. |
52.7. | In order to obtain indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to any provision of this Bye-law 52, an Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request. Any such advancement of expenses shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days after receipt by the Company of the written request of Indemnitee, unless (i) the Company has assumed the defense pursuant to Bye-law 52.4 (and none of the circumstances described in Bye-law 52.4 that would nonetheless entitle the Indemnitee to indemnification for the fees and expenses of separate counsel have occurred) or (ii) the Company determines within such 60 day period that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Bye-law 52. Such determination shall be made in each instance (a) by a majority vote of the Board consisting of persons who are not at that time parties to the action, suit or proceeding in question (“Disinterested Directors |
52.8. | The advance by the Company of moneys to an Indemnitee for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against him or her, shall be on condition that the Indemnitee shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty in relation to the Company is proved against the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Bye-law 52, to the extent that an Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Bye-law 52 and 52.3, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such action, suit or proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection therewith. |
52.9. | The right to indemnification or advancement of expenses as granted by this Bye-law 52 shall be enforceable by Indemnitee in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure of the Company to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor an actual determination by the Company pursuant to Bye-law 52.7 that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Indemnitee’s expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably |
incurred in connection with successfully establishing Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such proceeding shall also be indemnified by the Company. |
52.10. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Bye-law 52, except as set forth in Bye-law 52.9, the Company shall not indemnify an Indemnitee pursuant to this Bye-law 52 in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee unless the initiation thereof was approved by the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, the Company shall not indemnify an Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee is reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, and in the event the Company makes any indemnification payments to an Indemnitee and such Indemnitee is subsequently reimbursed from the proceeds of insurance, Indemnitee shall promptly refund such indemnification payments to the Company to the extent of such insurance reimbursement. |
52.11. | No amendment, termination or repeal of this Bye-law 52 or of any relevant provisions of the Act or any other applicable laws shall affect or diminish in any way the rights of any Indemnitee to indemnification under the provisions hereof with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation arising out of or relating to any actions, transactions or facts occurring prior to the final adoption of such amendment, termination or repeal. |
52.12. | The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by this Bye-law 52 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), agreement or vote of Members or Disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in any other capacity while holding office for the Company, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a Director or Officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnitee. Nothing contained in this Bye-law 52 shall be deemed to prohibit, and the Company is specifically authorized to enter into, agreements with officers and directors providing indemnification rights and procedures different from those set forth in this Bye-law 52 . In addition, the Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by its Board, grant indemnification rights to other employees or agents of the Company or other persons serving the Company. |
52.13. | If an Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Bye-law 52 to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation and any appeal therefrom but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement to which Indemnitee is entitled. |
52.14. | The provisions of this Bye-law 52 shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each Indemnitee entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Bye-law 52 is in effect, in consideration of such person’s past or current and any future performance of services for the Company. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Bye-law 52 shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Bye-law 52 in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Bye-law 52 shall continue notwithstanding that the individual has ceased to be an Indemnitee of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person. |
52.15. | The Company’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of expenses to any person under this 52 as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan) shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (the “ Primary Indemnitor Bye-law 52 owed by the Company as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies. |
52.16. | If this Bye-law 52 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnitee as to any expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including an action by or in the right of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Bye-law that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. |
52.17. | Any repeal or modification of this Bye-law 52 by the Company or by an amendment to Act shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring either before such repeal or modification of a person serving as a director prior to or at the time of such repeal or modification. |

1. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
(a) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act |
(ii) | To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
(iii) | To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; and |
(b) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(c) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(d) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
(e) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
2. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
3. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that |
such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form. |
4. | The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
5. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request. |
6. | The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective. |
