You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front cover of this prospectus or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus is delivered or shares of common stock are sold or otherwise disposed of on a later date. It is important for you to read and consider all information contained in this prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference therein, in making your investment decision.

If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

 

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you.

Management estimates are derived from publicly available information, our knowledge of our industry and assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable. In addition, assumptions and estimates of our and our industry’s future performance are necessarily uncertain due to a variety of factors, including those described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus. These and other factors could cause our future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary provides an overview of selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read the prospectus, the information incorporated by reference and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in their entirety before investing in our securities, including the information discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference and our financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. In this prospectus, unless the context indicates otherwise, “Enveric,” the “Company,” the “registrant,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or “ours” refer to Enveric Biosciences, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Overview

 

We are biotechnology company dedicated to the development of novel neuroplastogenic small-molecule therapeutics for the treatment of depression, anxiety, and addiction disorders. Leveraging our unique discovery and development platform, The Psybrary™, we have created a robust intellectual property portfolio of New Chemical Entities for specific mental health indications. Our lead program, the EVM201 Series, comprises next generation synthetic prodrugs of the active metabolite, psilocin. We are developing the first product from the EVM201 Series – EB-373 – for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We are also advancing our second program, the EVM301 Series, expected to offer a first-in-class, new approach to the treatment of difficult-to-address mental health disorders, mediated by the promotion of neuroplasticity without also inducing hallucinations in the patient.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in February 1994 as Spatializer Audio Laboratories, Inc., which was a shell company immediately prior to the completion of a “reverse merger” transaction on May 26, 2015, whereby Ameri100 Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and newly created, wholly owned subsidiary, was merged with and into Ameri and Partners Inc. (“Ameri and Partners”), a Delaware corporation (the “2015 Merger”). In connection with the 2015 Merger, we changed our name to AMERI Holdings, Inc.

 

The Ameri business ceased to be part of the Company on December 30, 2020, pursuant to a spin-off transaction. On December 30, 2020, we completed a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Jay Pharma Inc., a Canada corporation, for shares of Company common stock or certain preferred stock, and changed our name to “Enveric Biosciences, Inc.”

 

On May 24, 2021, we entered into an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with 1306432 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HoldCo”), 1306436 B.C. Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Purchaser”), and MagicMed Industries Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“MagicMed”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company, indirectly through Purchaser, acquired all of the outstanding securities of MagicMed in exchange for securities of the Company by way of an amalgamation under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Amalgamation Agreement, such that, upon completion of the Amalgamation, the amalgamated corporation (“Amalco”) will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Amalgamation was completed on September 16, 2021.

 

Our principal corporate office is located at Enveric Biosciences, Inc., 4851 Tamiami Trail N, Suite 200, Naples, Florida 34103, telephone (239) 302-1707. Our internet address is https://www.enveric.com/, and the information included in, or linked to our website is not part of this prospectus. We have included our website address in this prospectus solely as a textual reference. Our trademarks and trade names include, but may not be limited to, “Enveric,” and the Enveric logo.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to purchase our securities, including the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and any amendment, any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by reference herein. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able to achieve our goals, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose some or all of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition and prospects could be harmed. In that event, the market price of our common stock, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to This Offering and our Common Stock

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our securities.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by the investors in this offering. We may not be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by the investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into shares of common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid to the selling stockholders. Our stockholders will incur dilution upon exercise of any outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities or upon the issuance of shares of common stock under our stock incentive programs.

 

We expect to require additional capital in the future in order to develop our product candidates, which are in early stages of development. If we do not obtain any such additional financing, it may be difficult to effectively realize our long-term strategic goals and objectives.

 

Our current cash resources will not be sufficient to fund the development of our product candidates through all of the required clinical trials to receive regulatory approval and commercialization. If we cannot secure this additional funding when such funds are required, we may fail to develop our product candidates or be forced to forego certain strategic opportunities.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or equity-backed securities may dilute our stockholders’ ownership percentages and could also result in a decrease in the market value of our equity securities.

 

The terms of any securities issued by us in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, which may have a further dilutive effect on the holders of any of our securities then outstanding.

 

In addition, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, securities law compliance fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which may adversely impact our financial condition.

 

4

 

 

The trading price of our common stock could be highly volatile, which could result in substantial losses for purchasers of our common stock in this offering. Securities class action or other litigation involving our company or members of our management team could also substantially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our stock price is volatile. The stock market in general and the market for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in particular have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your common stock at or above the public offering price and you may lose some or all of your investment. The market price for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including:

 

  the success of existing or new competitive products or technologies;
  regulatory actions with respect to our products or our competitors’ products and product candidates;
  announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;
  results of clinical trials of product candidates of our competitors;
  regulatory or legal developments in the United States and other countries;
  developments or disputes concerning patent applications, issued patents or other proprietary rights;
  the recruitment or departure of key personnel;
  the extent to which we in-license, acquire or invest in other indications or product candidates;
  actual or anticipated changes in estimates as to financial results or development timelines;
  announcement or expectation of additional financing efforts;
  sales of our common stock by us, our insiders or other stockholders;
  variations in our financial results or those of companies that are perceived to be similar to us;
  changes in estimates or recommendations by securities analysts, if any, that cover us;
  changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems;
  market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors; and
  general economic, industry and market conditions.

 

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. This risk is especially relevant for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, which have experienced significant stock price volatility in recent years.

 

Substantial future sales or other issuances of our common stock could depress the market for our common stock.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock in the public market, including the issuance of shares or any shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, or the perception by the market that those sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline or could make it more difficult for us to raise funds through the sale of equity and equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that our management deems acceptable, or at all. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or common stock, which could also depress the market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of common stock or the availability of those shares for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

 

Our stock price may be subject to substantial volatility, and stockholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

 

Our common stock currently trades on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our common stock may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our common stock trades may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

 

5

 

 

In the event that we fail to regain compliance with the listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) or satisfy any of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted, which could affect our market price and liquidity.

 

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. For continued listing on Nasdaq, we will be required to comply with the continued listing requirements, including the minimum market capitalization standard, the stockholders’ equity requirement, the corporate governance requirements and the minimum closing bid price requirement, among other requirements. On November 21, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq staff indicating that, based on our reported stockholders’ equity of $2,435,646 reported on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, we were not in compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). We intend to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

 

In the event that we fail to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) or satisfy any of the listing requirements of Nasdaq, our common stock may be delisted. If we are unable to list on Nasdaq, we would likely be more difficult to trade in or obtain accurate quotations as to the market price of our common stock. If our common stock is delisted from trading on Nasdaq, and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange or to have it quoted on Nasdaq, our securities could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, without limitation:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
     
  a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
     
  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our Company; and
     
  a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3 or obtain additional financing in the future).

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Except for historical information, this prospectus and any documents we incorporate by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements include, among others, those statements including the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” and words of similar import. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, potential target businesses, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore that you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as statements of historical fact or as guarantees or assurances of future performance. You should understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed in this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus and any documents we incorporate by reference, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include changes in local, regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market (supply and demand) and regulatory conditions and the following:

 

  our dependence on the success of our prospective product candidates, which are in early stages of development and may not reach a particular stage in development, receive regulatory approval or be successfully commercialized;
  potential difficulties that may delay, suspend, or scale back our efforts to advance additional early research programs through preclinical development and investigational new drug application filings and into clinical development;
  the risk that the cost savings, synergies and growth from our combination with MagicMed Industries Inc. and the successful use of the rights and technologies acquired in the combination may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected;
  the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on our business, including our current plans for product development, as well as any currently ongoing preclinical studies and clinical trials and any future studies or other development or commercialization activities;
  the limited study on the effects of medical cannabinoids and psychedelics, and the chance that future clinical research studies may lead to conclusions that dispute or conflict with our understanding and belief regarding the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy, dosing, and social acceptance of cannabinoids or psychedelics;
  the expensive, time-consuming, and uncertain nature of clinical trials, which are susceptible to change, delays, termination, and differing interpretations;
  the ability to establish that potential products are efficacious or safe in preclinical or clinical trials;
  the fact that our current and future preclinical and clinical studies may be conducted outside the United States, and the United States Food and Drug Administration may not accept data from such studies to support any new drug applications we may submit after completing the applicable developmental and regulatory prerequisites;
  our ability to effectively and efficiently build, maintain and legally protect our molecular derivatives library so that it can be an essential building block from which those in the biotech industry can develop new patented products;
  our ability to establish or maintain collaborations on the development of therapeutic candidates;
  our ability to obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals to market potential products;
  our ability to manufacture product candidates on a commercial scale or in collaborations with third parties;
  our significant and increasing liquidity needs and potential requirements for additional funding;
  our ability to obtain future funding for developing products and working capital and to obtain such funding on commercially reasonable terms;
  legislative changes related to and affecting the healthcare system, including, without limitation, changes and proposed changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act;
  the intense competition we face, often from companies with greater resources and experience than us;
  our ability to retain key executives and scientists;
  the ability to secure and enforce legal rights related to our products, including intellectual property rights and patent protection;
  political, economic, and military instability in Israel which may impede our development programs; as well as
  our ability to successfully spin off our cannabinoid assets.

 

Other sections of this prospectus and any documents we incorporate by reference describe additional risk factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties, nor are we able to assess the impact of all of these risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. These risks and others described under the section “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and any documents we incorporate by reference are not exhaustive.

 

Given these uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any such factors or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

 

On December 28, 2023, we entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Existing Warrants”) pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase 1,122,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate, at a reduced exercised price of $1.37 per share, in exchange for our agreement to issue new warrants (the “Warrants”) on substantially the same terms as the Existing Warrants as described below, to purchase up to 2,244,000 shares of our common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) and a cash payment of $0.125 per Warrant Share which was paid in full upon the exercise of the Existing Warrants. The Existing Warrants consist of certain warrant shares and preferred investment options obtained by the selling stockholders in previous transactions with us. These previous transactions with the selling stockholders are described under the section “Selling Stockholders” in this prospectus and in other documents we filed previously, including, but not limited to, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 26, 2022. We received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.8 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Holders and the sale of the Warrants. We engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) to act as our financial advisor in connection with the transactions summarized above and paid Roth $108,000 for its services.

(1) Except as noted below, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. All entries exclude beneficial ownership of shares issuable pursuant to warrants, options or other derivative securities that have not vested or that are not otherwise exercisable as of the date hereof or which will not become vested or exercisable within 60 days of January 8, 2024.
   
(2) Based upon the internal books and records of the Company.
   
(3) Includes shares of common stock which are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus.
   
(4) All percentage calculations are based on 2,739,315 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 8, 2024 and are rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent. Warrants, options or other derivative securities that are presently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of that person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of calculating the percentage ownership of any other person.

The Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the selling stockholders from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the selling stockholders and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. Upon at least 61 days’ prior notice, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation provided that in no event it exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrant. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Asher, a manager of Intracoastal (collectively, with Intracoastal, the “Intracoastal Owners”). The Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the selling stockholders from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the selling stockholders and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of common stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. Upon at least 61 days’ prior notice, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation provided that in no event it exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrant. The address of Intracoastal is 245 Palm Trail, Delray Beach, Florida 33483.
   
(7) The number of shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholder prior to this offering consists of (i) 977,000 shares of common stock, 704,000 of which are being held in abeyance; and (ii) Warrants issued in the Private Placement to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,954,000 shares of common stock (without giving effect to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation contained in such Warrants).
   
(8) The number of shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholder prior to this offering consists of (i) 107,126 shares of common stock and (ii) Warrants issued in the Private Placement to purchase up to an aggregate of 290,000 shares of common stock (without giving effect to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation contained in such Warrants).

 

(9) The maximum number of shares being offered pursuant to this prospectus consists of Warrants issued in the Private Placement to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,244,000 shares of Common Stock (without giving effect to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation contained in such Warrants).
   
(10) The shares beneficially owned after this Private Placement give effect to the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation contained in the Warrants held by the selling stockholders.

 

Issuances of our common stock to the selling stockholders will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to the selling stockholders identified herein.

These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties 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 such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as an officer, director, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was illegal. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each as amended, provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:

 

  transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit;
     
  act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
     
  unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or
     
  breach of a director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, includes such a provision. Expenses incurred by any officer or director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition shall be paid by us upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(a) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(b) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(c) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(a), (1)(b) and (1)(c) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose 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.

 

II-2
 

 

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(a) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§230.430B of this chapter):

 

(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10 (a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date.

 

(b) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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.

 

(5) 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:

 

(a) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(b) 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;

 

(c) 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

 

(d) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(6) 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to 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.

 

(7) 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 Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
