ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of this offering of common stock and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The second part, the accompanying prospectus dated September 12, 2022 including the documents incorporated by reference therein, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), before the date of this prospectus supplement, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date — for example, a document incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus — the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.
The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate information by reference into this prospectus. This information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. See “Incorporation of Documents by Reference.” You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with additional information described under “Where You Can Find More Information.”
We have not, and the selling stockholders and any underwriters have not, authorized anyone to provide you with information different from, or in addition to, that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus that we prepare or distribute. We, the selling stockholders and any underwriters take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurances as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. The information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus prepared by us is only accurate as of the date of the document containing such information, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus and any sale of shares of our common stock.
When used in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to NAPCO Security Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
Overview
NAPCO is one of the leading manufacturers and designers of high-tech electronic security devices, as well as a leading provider of school safety solutions. We offer a diversified array of security products, encompassing access control systems, door-locking products, intrusion and fire alarm systems and video surveillance products. These products are used for commercial, residential, institutional, industrial and governmental applications, and are sold worldwide principally to independent distributors, dealers and installers of security equipment. We have experienced significant growth in recent years, primarily driven by fast growing recurring service revenues generated from wireless communication services for intrusion and fire alarm systems, as well as our school security products that are designed to meet the increasing needs to enhance school security as a result of on-campus shooting and violence in the U.S.
Since 1969, we have established a heritage and proven record in the professional security community for reliably delivering both advanced technology and high quality security solutions, building many of the industry’s best-known brands, such as NAPCO Security Systems, Alarm Lock, Continental Access, Marks USA, and other popular product lines: including Gemini and F64-Series hardwire/wireless intrusion systems and iSee Video internet video solutions. We are also dedicated to developing innovative technology and producing the next generation of reliable security solutions that utilize remote communications and wireless networks, including our StarLink, iBridge, and more recently the iSecure product lines. Today, millions of businesses, institutions, homes, and people around the globe are protected by products from the NAPCO Group of Companies. We participate in large and growing markets with significant opportunities. The North American market for commercial security is projected to grow from approximately $83.5 billion in 2021 to $121.4 billion in 2026, according to Technavio. According to Maximize Market Research, the global market for school security is projected to grow from approximately $1.5 billion in 2020 to $3.1 billion in 2027. In addition, the U.S. residential security market is projected to grow from approximately $5.0 billion in 2021 to $9.0 billion in 2026, according to Statista.
Recent Development and Summary Financial Results
We recently disclosed financial results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022. Recurring service revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 increased 35% to $14.9 million as compared to $11.0 million for the same period last year. Recurring service revenue had a prospective annual run rate of approximately $59.0 million based on January 2023 recurring revenues. Gross margin for recurring service revenue for the quarter was 89% as compared to 87% for the same period last year.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose certain “non-GAAP financial measures,” in this prospectus supplement for our historical performance, including EBITDA, non-GAAP operating income and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as GAAP net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), net interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense. Non-GAAP operating income excludes impairment of goodwill, amortization of intangibles, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation expense and other infrequent or unusual charges. We define Adjusted EBITDA as GAAP net income plus income tax expense, net interest expense, non-cash stock-based expense, non-recurring legal expense and depreciation and amortization expense.
We believe that these historical non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. In addition, our management uses non-GAAP measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. The presentation of this information is not meant to be a substitute for the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our use of non-GAAP financial measures has certain limitations in that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. For example, the terms used in this prospectus supplement, such as non-GAAP operating income and Adjusted EBITDA, do not have a standardized meaning across the market. Other companies may use the same or similarly named measures,
 
S-2

 
but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. We seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-GAAP presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the tables below.
Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in the future and results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Readers are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. In addition, you should read this data together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, each incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
The following table sets forth certain unaudited financial information including non-GAAP financial measures for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, 2021, and 2022, and the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022:

THE OFFERING
Common stock offered by the selling stockholders
         shares of common stock (or         shares of common stock if the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). The shares are offered and sold by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. See “Selling Stockholders” on page S-9 of this prospectus supplement.
We will not be selling any shares of common stock in this offering, therefore the offering will not result in any dilution of equity ownership to our existing stockholders.
Option to purchase additional shares of common stock
The selling stockholders have granted the underwriters an option for a period of 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement to purchase up to an additional         shares of their common stock.
Total number of shares outstanding prior to the offering
36,745,718 shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock outstanding will not change as a result of this offering (or if the underwriters’ option is exercised in full).
Use of proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares in this offering.

“NSSC”
Risk factors
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the sections captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our filings that are included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
The number of shares of common stock outstanding prior to the offering is based on 36,745,718 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022, and excludes:

704,780 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2022, with a weighted-average exercise price of $18.58 per share;

950,000 additional shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of options granted under our 2022 Employee Stock Option Plan; and

48,100 additional shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance upon the exercise of options granted under our 2020 Non-employee Stock Option Plan.
Unless we specifically state otherwise, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock and no exercise of outstanding stock options subsequent to December 31, 2022.
 
S-5

 
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus, including the risk factors set forth in the documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, that are incorporated by reference herein, such as the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before purchasing our common stock. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations would likely suffer, possibly materially. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could fall, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause our market price to decline.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders, may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. Additionally, the shares of common stock subject to outstanding options under our equity incentive plans and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, as well as shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards, will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations.
Upon consummation of this offering, Mr. Soloway, members of management and certain directors will continue to own a significant portion of our outstanding voting stock and exert significant influence over our business and affairs.
Upon completion of this offering, Richard L. Soloway, our Chief Executive Officer, members of management and our board of directors (“Board”) are expected to beneficially own approximately     % of our common stock (or    % if the underwriters’ option is exercised in full). Their significant ownership will, for the foreseeable future, enable them to control our management and affairs, and most matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, financing activities, a merger or sale of our assets and other significant corporate transactions. They may, in their discretion, elect to exercise these or similar rights at any time. Furthermore, the Company has established a staggered Board where the election of only one class of directors can be held at each annual meeting. This concentration of ownership, as well as a staggered or classified Board, could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in our control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could materially adversely affect our stock price and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our Board or management.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents we incorporate by reference and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this prospectus supplement, the accompany prospectus, the documents we incorporate by reference and any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering regarding our strategy, future operations, collaborations, intellectual property, cash resources, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “potential,” “likely,” “projects,” “continue,” “will,” “schedule,” “would,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. We cannot guarantee that we actually will achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. We discuss many of these risks, uncertainties and other factors in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” of this prospectus supplement and under the section captioned “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 29, 2022 and in our other filings that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. These factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date that this prospectus supplement is filed with the SEC and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information as of February 1, 2023 with respect to the ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders. The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Percentage computations are based on 36,745,718 shares of our common stock outstanding as of December 31, 2022.

The underwriters are collectively referred to as the “underwriters.” Needham & Company, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. are acting as joint bookrunners and representatives of the several underwriters with respect to this offering. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the shares sold under the underwriting agreement if any of these shares are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased.
The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the shares, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.
Commissions and Discounts
The representatives have advised us that the underwriters propose initially to offer the shares of our common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to dealers at that price less a concession not in excess of $      per share. After the initial offering, the public offering price, concession or any other term of the offering may be changed.
The following table summarizes the underwriting discounts and commissions that the selling stockholders will pay to the underwriters.

Needham & Company, LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C., at their discretion, may release the common stock and other lock-up securities subject to the lock-up restrictions described above in whole or in part at any time.
Indemnification
Pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement, we, the selling stockholders and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Stabilization and Short Positions
Until the distribution of the shares is completed, SEC rules may limit underwriters and selling group members from bidding for and purchasing our common stock. However, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our common stock, such as bids or purchases to peg, fix or maintain that price.
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell our common stock in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, purchases on the open market to cover positions created
 
S-12

 
by short sales and stabilizing transactions. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering. “Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares described above. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option granted to them. “Naked” short sales are sales in excess of such option. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of our common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of shares of our common stock made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.
Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters’ purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.
Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.
Passive Market Making
In connection with the offering, the underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act during the period before the commencement of offers or sales of our common stock and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bids at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of the security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Electronic Distribution
A prospectus supplement in electronic format may be made available on the Internet sites or through other online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters and/or selling group members participating in this offering, or by their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and, depending upon the particular underwriter or selling group member, prospective investors may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree to allocate a specific number of shares for sale to online brokerage account holders. Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations.
Other than the prospectus supplement in electronic format, the information on any underwriter’s or selling group member’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by an underwriter or a selling group member is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or any underwriter or any selling group member in its capacity as underwriter or selling group member and should not be relied upon by investors.
Listing on NASDAQ
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NSSC.”

The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various investment banking and financial advisory services for the issuer and its affiliates, for which they received or may in the future receive customary fees and expenses.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer or its affiliates. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates may also communicate independent investment recommendations, market color or trading ideas, and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long, and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement are forward-looking statements (including statements found in documents incorporated herein by reference, to the extent applicable). Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “goal” or similar terminology. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including those contained under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022, which is incorporated in this prospectus by reference (and in any of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for subsequent periods and in our other filings with the SEC.
We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022 (and in any of our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for subsequent periods and in our other filings with the SEC). All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other filings with the SEC and public communications.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This prospectus covers 3,830,449 shares of our common stock that may be offered for resale by the selling stockholders, as set forth in the table below, in the manner contemplated under the section titled “Plan of Distribution” in this prospectus. The shares covered by this prospectus may be offered from time to time by the selling stockholders.
The following table sets forth information as of September 1, 2022 with respect to the ownership of our common stock by the selling stockholders. The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person’s ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person’s percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest. Percentage computations are based on 36,734,482 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 1, 2022.
Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time, and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to which this prospectus relates if and when necessary. The selling stockholders may offer all, some or none of their shares of common stock. We cannot advise you as to whether the selling stockholders will in fact sell any or all of such shares of common stock. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold or transferred, in transactions pursuant to this prospectus or otherwise, some or all of their shares since the date as of which the information is presented in the table below.
The address of each selling stockholder listed below is c/o the Company, 333 Bayview Avenue, Amityville, NY 11701.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, “at-the-market” offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. Selling stockholders may sell the securities to or through one or more underwriters or dealers (acting as principal or agent), through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. Selling stockholders may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

at negotiated prices.
A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

the name or names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;

the name or names of the selling stockholders, if any;

the purchase price of the securities or other consideration therefor, and the proceeds, if any, we will receive from the sale;

any over-allotment or other options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us or any selling stockholders;

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

any public offering price;

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and;

any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement will be underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. Selling stockholders may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any option to purchase additional securities. If a dealer is used in the sale of securities, we, a selling stockholder, or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement the name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.
The selling stockholders may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.

The selling stockholders may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions payable to the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, the agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may provide agents, underwriters and dealers with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents, underwriters and dealers, or their affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
The selling stockholders may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act in connection with the securities it resells and any profits on the sales may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling stockholders is deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the option to purchase additional securities or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
