ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This Prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Prospectus relates to 189,640 shares (the “Shares”) of our common stock issuable to the selling security holders upon exercise of warrants originally issued to Hilco Capital, LP in July 2003 in connection with a private loan transaction. Pursuant to a warrantholders rights agreement, dated July 16, 2003, we have agreed to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, to cover the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, and to use our best efforts to maintain such registration statement effective. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. We have agreed to pay the expenses incurred in registering the Shares, including legal and accounting fees.

 

The Shares have not been registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction as of the date of this Prospectus. Brokers or dealers should confirm the existence of an exemption from registration or effectuate such registration in connection with any offer and sale of the Shares.

 

This Prospectus describes certain risk factors that you should consider before purchasing the Shares. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4. You should read this Prospectus together with the additional information described under the heading “Where Can You Find More Information.”

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risk factors, together with the other information in this Prospectus, before buying any Shares. You should also be aware that certain statements contained in this Prospectus that are not related to historical results are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, such as statements of our strategies, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Leverage

 

We have incurred a substantial amount of indebtedness. This leverage may have several important consequences, including significant debt service and vulnerability to changes in interest rates. This leverage may also significantly limit our ability to withstand adverse economic or business conditions and competitive pressures and to take advantage of any significant business opportunities that may arise. In particular, a continuation of the losses we have experienced in recent years could result in the inability to meet debt service or the financial covenants pertaining to our indebtedness, which could result in the acceleration of the debt.

 

Losses; Reduced Sales

 

In December 2000, in response to a fourth quarter 2000 decrease in net sales, we announced a restructuring plan designed to streamline operations, improve efficiency and reduce costs. Our net sales increased in 2003 after continuing to decline in 2001 and 2002. Net sales for 2003, while approximately 28% below 2000 results, exceeded 2002 net sales by approximately 9.4%. We believe that the decrease in sales that began in 2000 was primarily due to economic conditions with the national recession having a strong impact on our business segment, and to tightened credit standards and other policies adopted as part of the restructuring plan, and that the increase in 2003 sales was largely based on sales of our Arc Trainer product, which we introduced in the second half of 2002. While we had an operating profit in 2001, 2002 and 2003, we incurred losses in each year from 2000 through 2003. The incurrence of further losses or a further reduction of net sales could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, and financial condition.

 

Control By Major Shareholders

 

John Aglialoro, Joan Carter and UM Holdings Ltd., who are related parties, collectively own a majority of our outstanding common stock. In addition, UM Holdings Ltd. owns all of the outstanding shares of our Series B Preferred Stock which, if approved by our shareholders, which approval is assured, will become convertible from and after June 30, 2004 into 3,288,600 shares of our common stock. Such shareholders have the ability to control or significantly influence (i) the election of our Board of Directors, and thus our future direction and (ii) the

Table of Contents

outcome of all other matters submitted to our shareholders, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

 

Litigation

 

We are involved in a variety of litigation, including with respect to product liability, intellectual property rights and disputes with dealers and a person from whom we acquired a business. An adverse determination in such litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity or financial condition. We expect that we will continue to be subject to litigation in the ordinary course of business.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our Series B Preferred Stock has rights senior to our common stock, which could adversely affect the holders of the common stock, including the economic value of the common stock. For example, the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock include an obligation to pay cumulative dividends of 10% of the original issuance price ($4,900,000), before any dividends are paid to the holders of the common stock. Dividends not paid in any year accumulate and are payable before any dividends are paid on the common stock. These cumulative dividends if paid in cash would deplete our cash resources or, if paid in stock, would dilute our common shareholders. In the event of a liquidation, the holders of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock also will receive an amount equal to the original issuance price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, before any distributions are made to the holders of the common stock. Subject to approval at the 2004 Annual Meeting (which approval is assured), the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock will, from and after June 30, 2004, be convertible at the option of the holder into 3,288,600 shares of common stock. Additionally, if UM Holdings Ltd. suffers a loss with respect to certain collateral support provided to us, we will satisfy our reimbursement obligation by issuing additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, our Board has the ability to issue, without approval by the common shareholders, additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock or another class of preferred stock, with the new class having such rights and preferences as the Board may determine in its discretion.

 

Product Development

 

The development and improvement of new and existing products is an important competitive factor in our industry, and our plan includes the continued development of cardiovascular and strength products. A failure of this development program, or the development of innovative products by our competitors, could harm our business.

 

Competition

 

The market in which we operate is highly competitive. Numerous companies manufacture, sell or distribute exercise equipment. Our competitors vary according to product line and include companies with greater name recognition and more extensive financial and other resources than we enjoy.

Table of Contents

Retention of Key Personnel

 

We compete for the services of qualified personnel. The failure to retain and attract qualified personnel or the loss of any of our current key executives or key members of our staff could harm our business.

 

International Risks

 

Approximately 26% and 28%, respectively, of our sales in 2002 and 2003 were derived from outside the United States and Canada. Political or economic changes or currency fluctuations in countries in which we do business could harm our future revenues, expenses and financial condition.

 

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

 

We file annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any documents we file at the SEC’s public reference room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, or at the SEC’s public-reference rooms in New York, N.Y. and Chicago, Illinois.

Typical commercial customers are health clubs, corporate fitness centers, hotels, resorts, spas, educational institutions, sports teams, sports medicine clinics, military installations and community centers.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Our present policy is to retain any future earnings to provide funds for the operation and expansion of our business. In addition, under our credit agreements, we currently do not have the ability to pay dividends, and no dividends can be paid on our common stock until all accrued dividends on our Series B Preferred Stock have been paid.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling security holders.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock covered by this Prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling shareholders named in the table below in order to permit the selling shareholders and any of their respective pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest to offer the respective shares for resale from time to time. Such shares of common stock are issuable upon exercise of warrants originally issued to Hilco Capital, LP (“Hilco”) on July 16, 2003 in connection with a private financing transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, the holders thereof are entitled to purchase 189,640 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.10 per share at any time prior to the five year anniversary of the date thereof.

 

In connection with the transaction, we entered into a warrantholders rights agreement, dated July 16, 2003, with the warrantholders party thereto, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, to cover the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We also are required pursuant to the warrantholders rights agreement to use our best efforts to maintain such registration statement effective.

 

The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by each of the selling shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling shareholders, based on their ownership of the warrants, as of March 30, 2004, assuming exercise of the warrants by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercise. The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this Prospectus by the selling shareholders. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares of common stock offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to the terms of this Prospectus.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby directly or through one or more

Table of Contents

underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the common stock is sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

(i) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

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

 

(iii) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by a broker-dealer for its account;

 

(iv) an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of any applicable exchange;

 

(v) privately negotiated transactions;

 

(vi) short sales;

 

(vii) broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

(viii) a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

(ix) any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

Any selling shareholder may also resell all or a portion of the Shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided it meets the criteria and conforms to the requirements of Rule 144.

 

If a selling shareholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the common stock or otherwise, a selling shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. A selling shareholder may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common

stock covered by this Prospectus to close out short positions. Each selling shareholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

 

Each selling shareholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the warrants or shares of common stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this Prospectus or any amendment to this Prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling shareholders under this Prospectus. Each selling shareholder also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Prospectus.

 

Each selling shareholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed, to any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a Prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from each selling shareholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part.

 

Each selling shareholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the warrantholders rights agreement, estimated to be $12,074.24 in total, including, without

Table of Contents

limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all applicable underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the warrantholders rights agreement, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by a selling shareholder against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this Prospectus, in accordance with the warrantholders rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the shelf registration statement, of which this Prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

EXPERTS

 

The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Cybex International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and for the years then ended, have been incorporated by reference herein and in the registration statement in reliance upon the report of KPMG LLP, independent auditors, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The report of KPMG LLP covering the December 31, 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the 2001 consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Cybex were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. In addition, it refers to KPMG LLP’s audit of the disclosures that were added to revise the 2001 consolidated financial statements, as more fully described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. However, KPMG LLP was not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the 2001 consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of Cybex other than with respect to such disclosures.

 

The consolidated financial statements of Cybex for the year ended December 31, 2001, incorporated by reference herein, have been audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon incorporated by reference herein in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Section 722 of Article 7 of the New York Business Corporation Law, the Company must indemnify each of its directors and officers against his expenses (that is, reasonable costs, disbursements and counsel fees) in connection with any proceeding involving such person by reason of his having been an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company, or who is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the extent he is successful on the merits. Moreover, under such statutory provision the Company has the corporate power to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses and (in the case of proceedings other than those by or in the right of the Company) liabilities incurred in such a proceeding, provided (i) the officer or director has acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and (ii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In the case of a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, however, such indemnification is not permitted if the individual is adjudged to be liable to the Company, unless a court determines that he is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

The determination of whether indemnification is proper under the circumstances, unless made by a court, is determined by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or committee thereof, by independent legal counsel if a quorum of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or committee thereof is not available or if the disinterested members of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof so direct, or by the stockholders.

 

The Company’s Bylaws require the Company to indemnify each director and officer if Section 722 of the New York Business Corporation Law permits the Company to do so.

 

The Company has purchased a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, which affords officers and directors insurance coverage for losses arising from claims based on breaches of duty, negligence, error and other wrongful acts.

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

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

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

(1) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, it will treat the information omitted from the form of Prospectus filed as a part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430(A) and contained in a form of Prospectus filed by the Company under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this Registration Statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

 

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, it will treat each post-effective Amendment that contains a form of Prospectus as a new Registration Statement for the securities offered in the Registration Statement, and the offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
