ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

The selling shareholders may resell, from time to time, in one or more offerings or otherwise as described under “Plan of Distribution”, the ADSs and ADSs issuable upon exercise of the warrants covered herein and offered by this prospectus. Information about the selling shareholders may change over time. When the selling shareholders sell our ADSs, or ADSs issuable upon exercise of the warrants covered under this prospectus, we will, if necessary and required by law, provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add to, update, modify or replace information contained in this prospectus.

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 applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, the information incorporated by reference herein 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.

 

Our Business

 

Chemomab is a clinical-stage biotech company discovering and developing innovative therapeutics for conditions with high unmet medical need that involve inflammation and fibrosis. CM-101, the company’s lead clinical product candidate, is a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody which hinders the fundamental function of the soluble chemokine CCL24, also known as eotaxin-2, as a regulator of major inflammatory and fibrotic pathways. We have shown that CM-101 interferes with the underlying biology of inflammation and fibrosis using a novel and differentiated mechanism of action and is actively advancing CM-101 into staggered Phase 2 clinical studies to treat patients with liver, skin, and lung fibrosis. We have completed two Phase 1a clinical studies at varying doses using different administration methods, as well as a Phase 1b safety, tolerability and proof-of-mechanism clinical study of CM-101 in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD, patients. We are currently conducting a Phase 2a clinical study in primary sclerosing cholangitis, or PSC, a rare obstructive and cholestatic liver disease, in the United Kingdom and Israel and we are planning a Phase 2 study in systemic sclerosis, or SSc, a rare autoimmune rheumatic disease characterized by accumulation of collagen, or fibrosis, this year. Although our primary focus relates to these two rare indications, an additional Phase 2a clinical study expanding the understanding of CM-101 in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, or NASH, has been initiated and will provide important safety and PK data designed to support the development of CM-101 subcutaneous formulation.

 

Fibrosis is the abnormal and excessive accumulation of collagen and extracellular matrix, the non-cellular component in all tissues and organs, consisting of macromolecules such as collagen, that provide structural and biochemical support to surrounding cells, leading to scarring and thickening of connective tissues, affecting tissue properties and potentially leading to organ failure. Fibrosis can occur in many different tissues, including lung, liver, kidney, muscle, skin, and the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a growing number of progressive fibrotic conditions. A healthy inflammatory response is necessary for efficient tissue repair. However, fibrosis and inflammation are intrinsically linked and a prolonged inflammatory response can contribute to the pathogenesis of fibrosis.

 

We have pioneered the therapeutic targeting of CCL24, a chemokine that promotes various types of cellular processes that regulate inflammatory and fibrotic activities through the CCR3 receptor. The chemokine is expressed in monocytes, macrophages, activated T cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and epithelial cells, including the bile duct epithelial cells called cholangiocytes. We have developed a novel CCL24 inhibiting product candidate with dual anti-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory activity allowing it to challenge the complex interplays of both of these inflammatory and fibrotic mechanisms that drive fibrotic indications. This innovative approach is being developed for difficult to treat rare diseases, also known as orphan indications or diseases, such as PSC and SSc, for which patients have no established standard of care treatment options.

 

Recent Developments

 

On March 16, 2021, we consummated the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Chemomab Ltd., with Chemomab Ltd. surviving the Merger as our wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Merger, on March 16, 2021, we changed our name from Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. to Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Israel in 2015 under the name Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. In March 2021, in connection with the Merger, we changed our name to Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. Our principal executive offices are located at Kiryat Atidim, Building 7, Tel Aviv, Israel 6158002, and our phone number is +972-77-331-0156. Our website is: www.chemomab.com.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk set forth below, as well as the risks described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2021, our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any updates to those risks in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The risks so described are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. In any case, the value of the securities offered by means of this prospectus could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

The sale of a substantial number of shares of our ADSs in the public market, including resale of the ADSs issued to the selling shareholders, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our ADSs.

 

We are registering for resale of 6,951,292 ADSs and 261,929 ADSs issuable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase ADSs that we have issued to the selling shareholders pursuant to the SPA. Sales of substantial amounts of our ADSs in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our ADSs, and the market value of our other securities. We cannot predict if and when the selling shareholders may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional ADSs or other equity or debt securities exercisable for, or convertible into, our ADSs. Any such issuances could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

Background Regarding the Selling Shareholders

 

On March 25, 2021, we issued 2,619,270 ADSs and warrants to purchase up to 261,929 ADSs, in a private placement, exempt from registration under the Securities Act, pursuant to the SPA.

  

Under the terms of the SPA, each executed concurrently with the selling shareholders, we agreed, among other things:

 

  (i) to issue to the selling shareholders 2,619,270 ADSs and warrants to purchase up to 261,929 ADSs; and
     
  (ii) to file a registration statement with the SEC under the Securities Act within 30 days of March 16, 2021, in order to register the resale of the ADSs and warrants to purchase ADSs issued pursuant to the SPA, and to have that registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies us that it will “review” the registration statement) following March 16, 2021 and (ii) the 10th business day after the date we may be notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review.

 

Furthermore, certain of the selling shareholders, including OrbiMed Israel Partners Limited Partnership, Rivendell Investments 2017-9 LLC, Adi Mor and Kobi George, were allocated shares in Chemomab Ltd. prior to the consummation of the Merger. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, such shares in Chemomab Ltd. were converted into our ADSs in accordance with the applicable exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement. The foregoing selling shareholders are registering 4,332,022 ADSs under this Registration Statement on Form S-3. Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, to which each of the foregoing selling shareholders is a party, we agreed to certain customary demand registration rights, which these selling shareholders have utilized for purposes of registering their ADSs under this Registration Statement on Form S-3.

Information About Selling Shareholders

 

The following table sets forth the number and percentage of ADSs beneficially owned by the selling shareholders as of March 25, 2021, taking into account number of securities that may be offered under this prospectus and the number and percentage of our ADSs beneficially owned by the selling shareholders assuming all of the shares offered under this prospectus are sold. Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of ADSs beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.  Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any ADSs as to which the individual has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any ADSs which the individual has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this prospectus through the exercise of any option or other right.

 

All information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the selling shareholders. The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding ADSs to be beneficially owned after the offering under this prospectus assumes the sale of all ADSs being offered by the selling shareholders under this prospectus. The percentage of ADSs owned prior to and after the offering under this prospectus is based on 10,697,997 ADSs outstanding as of March 25, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that the selling shareholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our ADSs indicated as beneficially owned.

 

Except as described above, or in the footnotes below, neither the selling shareholders nor any of its affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders have held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

 

As used in this prospectus, the term “selling shareholders” includes the selling shareholders named below and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling our ADSs received after the date of this prospectus from the selling shareholders as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer.

 

The number of ADSs in the column “Maximum Number of Shares Offered” represents all of the ADSs that the selling shareholders may offer under this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all the ADSs offered by the selling shareholders under this prospectus and that the selling shareholders does not acquire any additional ADSs before the completion of the offering under this prospectus. However, because the selling shareholders may sell all or some of the ADSs offered under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of ADSs that will be sold by the selling shareholders or that will be held by the selling shareholders after completion of any sales. The selling shareholders may sell some, all or none of the ADSs offered under this prospectus. We do not know how long the selling shareholders will hold the ADSs offered under this prospectus before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling shareholders regarding the sale of any of the ADSs.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling shareholders, including its pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the ADSs offered under this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the ADSs offered under this prospectus by the selling shareholders; however, we will receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of warrants that are exercised for cash, or up to $4,544,699 if all warrants issued to the selling shareholders are exercised. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the ADSs offered under this prospectus.

 

Each selling shareholder may sell all or a portion of the ADSs beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the ADSs are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The ADSs may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and 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 privately negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.

 

The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares of our ADSs or interests therein:

 

  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
  block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell ADSs as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
  purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
  an over-the-counter distribution;
  an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
  privately negotiated transactions;
  short sales effected after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part;
  through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
  broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
  a combination of any such methods of sale; or
  any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ADSs owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ADSs, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of the selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer the ADSs in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

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

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling shareholders effects certain transactions by selling our ADSs 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 shareholders or commissions from purchasers of ADSs for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with applicable FINRA rules.

 

The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the ADSs offered under this prospectus will be the purchase price of the ADSs less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling shareholders reserve the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of ADSs to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering under this prospectus; however, we will receive cash proceeds equal to the total exercise price of warrants that are exercised for cash, or up to $4,544,699, if all warrants issued to the selling shareholders are exercised. However, we are required to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the ADSs. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify the selling shareholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The selling shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the ADSs or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the ADSs may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling shareholders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the ADSs may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the ADSs may not be sold unless the shares been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

 

The selling shareholders and any other person participating in a sale of ADSs registered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any ADSs by the selling shareholders and any other participating person. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the ADSs and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the ADSs. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the ADSs against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

In addition, a company may indemnify an office holder against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as an office holder:

 

  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder as a result of an investigation or proceeding instituted against him or her by an authority authorized to conduct such investigation or proceeding, provided that (i) no indictment was filed against such office holder as a result of such investigation or proceeding; and (ii) no financial liability, such as a criminal penalty (as defined in the Companies Law), was imposed upon him or her as a substitute for the criminal proceeding as a result of such investigation or proceeding or, if such financial liability was imposed, it was imposed with respect to an offense that does not require proof of criminal intent or in connection with a monetary sanction; and
     
  reasonable litigation expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the office holder or imposed by a court (i) in proceedings instituted against him or her by the company, on its behalf or by a third party, or (ii) in connection with criminal proceedings in which the office holder was acquitted, or (iii) as a result of a conviction for a crime that does not require proof of criminal intent.

 

An Israeli company may insure a director or officer against the following liabilities incurred for acts performed as a director or officer:

 

  a breach of duty of care to the company or to a third party, including a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of an office holder;
     
  a breach of duty of loyalty to the company, provided the director or officer acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the interests of the company; and
     
  financial liabilities imposed on the office holder for the benefit of a third party.

 

An Israeli company may not, however, indemnify or insure an office holder against any of the following:

 

  a breach of duty of loyalty, except to the extent that the office holder acted in good faith and had a reasonable basis to believe that the act would not prejudice the company;
     
  a breach of duty of care committed intentionally or recklessly, excluding a breach arising out of the negligent conduct of the office holder;
     
  an act or omission committed with intent to derive unlawful personal benefit; or
     
  a fine, monetary sanction, penalty or forfeit levied against the office holder.

  

Under the Israeli Companies Law, or the Companies Law, indemnification and insurance of office holders must be approved by our compensation committee, our Board of Directors and, in certain circumstances, by our shareholders. We have obtained directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for the benefit of our office holders and intend to continue to maintain such coverage and pay all premiums thereunder to the fullest extent permitted by the Companies Law. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors providing them with indemnification for liabilities or expenses incurred as a result of acts performed by them in their capacity as our, or our subsidiaries’, directors and officers. This indemnification is limited both in terms of amount and coverage and it covers certain amounts regarding administrative proceedings insurable or indemnifiable under the Companies Law and our Articles of Association. In the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, however, indemnification of directors and office holders for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     
      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
      (ii) 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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     
      (iii) 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above 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 Securities and Exchange 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.

 

II-2

 

 

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

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

  (A) 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
     
  (B) 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.

 

  (ii) 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 of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

    (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
       
    (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

II-3

 

 

  (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
     
  (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(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 (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.

 

(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 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.
