This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities. The selling stockholder is required to provide you with this prospectus and, in certain cases, a prospectus supplement containing specific information about the selling stockholder and the terms upon which the securities are being offered.

This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. To fully understand this offering and its consequences to you, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the information referred to under the headings “Risk Factors” in this prospectus on page 3 and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this prospectus on page 4, and the financial statements and other information incorporated by reference in this prospectus when making an investment decision. In this prospectus, the terms “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to ENGlobal Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

Our Company

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada in June 1994 and are a leading provider of innovative, delivered project solutions primarily to the energy industry. We deliver these solutions to our clients by combining our vertically-integrated engineering and professional project execution services with our automation and systems integration expertise and our fabrication and construction capabilities. We believe our vertically-integrated strategy allows us to differentiate our company from most of our competitors as a full-service provider, thereby reducing our clients’ dependency on and coordination of multiple vendors and improving control over their project cost and schedules. Our strategy and positioning has also allowed us to pursue larger scopes of work centered around many different types of modularized engineered systems.

 

We derive revenues primarily from three sources: (i) business development efforts, (ii) preferred provider or alliance agreements with strategic end user clients, original equipment manufacturers, and technology partners, and (iii) referrals from existing customers and industry members. Our business development professionals are focused on specific market segments within the energy industry. The market segments that we are targeting include Renewables, Automation, Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals and Government Services. This market focus allows us to develop centers of expertise for each of our targeted markets.

 

Within the Renewables group, our focus is to design and build production facilities for hydrogen and associated products, together with converting existing production facilities to produce products from renewable feedstock sources. These projects often utilize technologies that are more fuel efficient, and therefore reduce the associated carbon footprint of the facility. Our scope of work on these projects will typically include front-end development, engineering, procurement, mechanical fabrication, automation and commissioning services, and may be performed in conjunction with a construction partner.

 

Our Automation group designs, integrates and commissions modular systems that include electronic distributed control, on-line process analytical data, continuous emission monitoring, and electric power distribution. Often these packaged systems are housed in a fabricated metal enclosure, modular building or freestanding metal rack, which are commonly included in our scope of work. We provide automation engineering, procurement, fabrication, systems integration, programing and on-site commissioning services to our clients for both new and existing facilities.

 

Our Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals group focuses on providing engineering, procurement, construction and automation services as well as fabricated products to downstream refineries and petrochemical facilities as well as midstream pipeline, storage and other transportation related companies. These services are often applied to small capital improvement and maintenance projects within refineries and petrochemical facilities. For our transportation clients, we work on facilities that include pumping, compression, gas processing, metering, storage terminals, product loading and blending systems. In addition, this group designs, programs and maintains supervisory control and data acquisition (“SCADA”) systems for our transportation clients.

 

This group also provides engineering, fabrication and automation services to clients who have operations in the U.S. oil and gas exploration and development markets. The operations are usually associated with the completion, purification, storage and transmission of the oil and gas from the well head to the terminal or pipeline destination.

 

Our Government Services group provides services related to the engineering, design, installation and maintenance of automated fuel handling and tank gauging systems for the U.S. military across the globe.

 

Our business development professionals focus on building long-term relationships with clients in order to provide solutions throughout the life-cycle of their projects and facilities. Additionally, we seek to capitalize on cross-selling opportunities between our market segments and many of our projects will contain elements from more than one market segment. Sales leads are often jointly developed and pursued by our business development personnel from multiple markets.

 

Products and services are also promoted through trade advertising, participation in industry conferences and on-line internet communication via our corporate home page at www.englobal.com. The ENGlobal website illustrates our Company’s full range of services and capabilities and is updated on a continuous basis. Through the ENGlobal website, we seek to provide visitors and investors with a single point of contact for obtaining information about our company. We are not incorporating the contents of the website into this prospectus.

 

We also develop preferred provider and alliance agreements with clients in order to facilitate repeat business. These preferred provider agreements, also known as master service or umbrella agreements, typically have a duration of three to five years. This allows our clients to release work to us without having to negotiate contract terms for each individual project. With the primary terms of the contract agreed to, add-on projects with these customers are easier to negotiate and can be accepted quickly, without the necessity of a bidding process. Management believes that these agreements can serve to stabilize project-centered operations.

Table of Contents

 

 

Our engineering services are strategically located in offices in cities near our clients while our fabrication and integration facilities are more centrally located. We generally enter into two principal types of contracts with our clients: time-and-material contracts and fixed-price contracts. Our clients typically determine the type of contract to be utilized for a particular engagement, with the specific terms and conditions of a contract being negotiated and typically contained in a multiyear services agreement.

 

Risk Factors

 

An investment in our common stock is very risky. You should consider carefully the risk factors beginning on page 3 of this prospectus before investing in our common stock.

 

Use of Proceeds

 

Although we will incur expenses in connection with the registration of the securities, we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholder.

 

Corporate Information

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 11740 Katy Fwy – Energy Tower III, 11th Floor, Houston, TX 77079. Our telephone number is (281) 878-1000.

RISK FACTORS

 

                An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors and all of the other information included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus, including those risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2021, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 26, 2022, June 25, 2022 and September 24, 2022, and our subsequent SEC filings, in evaluating an investment in our securities. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks incorporated by reference in this prospectus are the material risks of which we are currently aware; however, they may not be the only risks that we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently view as 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. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “seeks,” or “scheduled to,” or other similar words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus are largely based on our expectations, which reflect estimates and assumptions made by our management.

·

our ability to retain existing customers and attract new customers;

·

our ability to attract and retain key professional personnel;

·

our debt obligations may limit our financial flexibility;

the risks of internal system failures of our information technology systems, whether caused by the Company, third-party service providers, intruders or hackers, computer viruses, malicious code, cyber-attacks, phishing and other cyber security problems, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks;

 

·

the uncertainties related to the U.S. Government’s budgetary process and their effects on our long-term U.S. Government contracts;

Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific factors that may affect us.

 

In addition, management’s assumptions about future events may prove to be inaccurate. All readers are cautioned that the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not guarantees of future performance, and we cannot assure any reader that such statements will be realized or that the forward-looking events and circumstances will occur. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements due to factors described in “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents that we include in or incorporate by reference herein, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2021, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 26, 2022, June 25, 2022 and September 24, 2022, respectively, and our subsequent SEC filings.

SELLING STOCKHOLDER

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling stockholder of up to 3,971,000 shares of our common stock, all of which are issuable upon the exercise of a common stock purchase warrant (the “warrant”). The warrant was issued to the selling stockholder on February 1, 2023, in a concurrent private placement transaction in connection with our sale to the selling stockholder of 3,971,000 shares of our common stock in a registered direct offering.

 

The information contained in the table below in respect of the selling stockholder (including the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned and the number of shares of common stock offered) has been obtained from the selling stockholder and has not been independently verified by us. We may supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change the information contained in the table below in respect of the selling stockholder.

 

The registration for resale of the shares of common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholder will sell all or any of these shares. In addition, the selling stockholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, shares of common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, after the date on which it provided the information set forth in the table below.

 

The following table sets forth the maximum number of shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling stockholder. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock and the right to acquire such voting or investment power within 60 days through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them. Except as described in the footnotes to the following table, none of the persons named in the table has held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus. The inclusion of any shares of common stock in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the person named below.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that the warrant is immediately exercisable and not subject to the beneficial ownership limitation described below.

 

(2)

Calculated based on 39,771,617 shares of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the exercise of the warrant. As of February 10, 2023, assuming the full exercise of the warrant into 3,971,000 shares of common stock, there would be 43,742,617 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Because the selling stockholder is not obligated to sell all or any portion of the shares of our common stock shown as offered by it, we cannot estimate the actual number or percentage of shares of our common stock that will be held by the selling stockholder upon completion of this offering. However, for purposes of this table, we have assumed that, after completion of the offering, none of the shares covered by this prospectus will be held by the selling stockholder.

 

(3)

Consists of 3,971,000 shares of common stock directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and 3,971,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant, which is directly held by the Master Fund. These shares of common stock may be deemed to be indirectly beneficially owned by Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund, and Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice. Armistice and Steven Boyd disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interest therein. The warrant is exercisable at any time on or after August 6, 2023 and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on August 6, 2028. The warrant is also subject to a 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation (which may be increased to 9.99% at the election of the warrant holder) that prohibits the Master Fund from exercising any portion of it if, following the exercise, the Master Fund’s ownership of our common stock would exceed the ownership limitation. The address of the Master Fund is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law; Our Articles of Incorporation and Our Bylaws

 

General. Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, and certain provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, or NRS, could make our acquisition by a third party, a change in our incumbent management, or a similar change of control more difficult. These provisions, which are summarized below, are likely to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or an unsolicited takeover attempt. The summary of the provisions set forth below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our articles of incorporation and our bylaws and the relevant provisions of the NRS.

 

Preferred Stock. The authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire control of the Company.

 

No Action by Written Consent. Our bylaws provide that no action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken by written consent.

 

Advance Notice Requirements. Stockholders wishing to nominate persons for election to our Board of Directors at a meeting or to propose any business to be considered by our stockholders at a meeting must comply with certain advance notice and other requirements set forth in our bylaws.

 

Special Meetings. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may only be called by the President or Secretary, by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by the President at the written request of at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of the Company then outstanding and entitled to vote.

 

Board Vacancies. Our bylaws provide that any vacancy on our Board of Directors, howsoever resulting, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors.

Table of Contents

  

Removal of Directors. Our bylaws provide that any directors may be removed either with or without cause at any time by the vote of stockholders representing two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes. The NRS contains provisions restricting the ability of a Nevada corporation to engage in business combinations with an interested stockholder. Under the NRS, except under certain circumstances, business combinations with interested stockholders are not permitted for a period of two years following the date such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. The NRS defines an interested stockholder, generally, as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% of the outstanding shares of a Nevada corporation. In addition, the NRS generally disallows the exercise of voting rights with respect to “control shares” of an “issuing corporation” held by an “acquiring person,” unless such voting rights are conferred by a majority vote of the disinterested stockholders. “Control shares” are those outstanding voting shares of an issuing corporation which an acquiring person and those persons acting in association with an acquiring person (i) acquire or offer to acquire in an acquisition of a controlling interest and (ii) acquire within ninety days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person became an acquiring person. An “issuing corporation” is a corporation organized in Nevada which has two hundred or more stockholders, at least one hundred of whom are stockholders of record and residents of Nevada, and which does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. The NRS also permits directors to resist a change or potential change in control of the corporation if the directors determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in the best interest of the corporation.

 

Amendment of Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Our bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted at any regular or special meeting of the stockholders owning a majority of the shares and entitled to vote thereon. The bylaws may also be altered, amended or repealed and new bylaws may be adopted at any regular or special meeting of our Board of Directors by a majority vote of directors present at the meeting at which a quorum is present, except that any such amendment may not be inconsistent with or contrary to the provision of an amendment adopted by the stockholders.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

Our articles of incorporation limits the personal liability of directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty to the Company or our stockholders. However, this provision does not eliminate or limit the liability of any of our directors and officers:

 

 

for acts or omissions not that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law; or

 

The payment of dividends in violation of Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes.

 

Any repeal or modification of this provision will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director or officer of the Company for acts or omissions prior to such repeal or modification.

 

                Our bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify any director or officer of the Company against all costs and expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person or on such person’s behalf, to the extent such director or officer is a party to or a witness in an action, suit or proceeding by reason of its position with the Company.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of The Nasdaq Capital Market. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Computershare Investor Services, LLC. Its address is P.O. Box 30170, College Station, Texas 77842-3170, and its telephone number is 1-800-662-7232.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Sale of common stock by the Selling Stockholder

 

The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, donees, assignees, transferees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, separately or together, some or all of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. To the extent the selling stockholder gifts, pledges or otherwise transfers the securities offered hereby, such transferees may offer and sell the securities from time to time under this prospectus, provided that, if required under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, this prospectus has been amended under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, its includes the name of such transferee in the list of selling stockholders under this prospectus. Subject to compliance with applicable law, the selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares of common stock:

 

 

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits the purchaser;

 

 

 

 

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares of common stock 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 exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

 

 

 

·

privately negotiated transactions;

 

 

 

 

·

“at the market” or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares of common stock;

 

 

 

 

·

through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

 

 

 

 

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;

 

 

 

 

·

agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of such shares of common stock at a stipulated price per share;

 

 

 

 

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

 

 

 

·

through the distribution of common stock by the selling stockholder to its partners, members or securityholders;

 

 

 

 

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

 

 

 

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

To our knowledge, the selling stockholder has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker/dealers regarding the sale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such revised prospectus or prospectus supplement. Any such required prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

 

To the extent required, any applicable prospectus supplement will set forth whether or not underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common stock at levels above those that might otherwise prevail in the open market, including, for example, by entering stabilizing bids, effecting syndicate covering transactions or imposing penalty bids.

 

The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling securities 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 stockholder (and/or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares of common stock, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.

Table of Contents

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of the common stock short after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder 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 shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The selling stockholder may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of its shares of common stock to its broker-dealers under the margin provisions of customer agreements or to other parties to secure other obligations. If the selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan or other secured obligation, the broker-dealer or secured party may, from time to time, offer and sell the shares of common stock pledged or secured thereby pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholder and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the selling stockholder or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock.

 

The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling stockholder for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholder may elect to make a pro rata in-kind distribution of shares of common stock to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or shareholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradeable shares of common stock pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.

 

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock 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 shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, the selling stockholder has not entered into any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the shares of our common stock.

 

We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of shares of our common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We and the selling stockholder may agree to indemnify underwriters, broker-dealers or agents against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may also agree to contribute to payments which the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make.

 

There can be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the securities registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

The Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provide that none of its directors or officers shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty by such person as a director or officer, except that a director or officer shall be liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, (1) for acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, or (2) for the payment of dividends in violation of restrictions imposed by Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Registrant’s stockholders, either directly or through stockholders’ derivative suits brought on behalf of the Registrant, to recover monetary damages from a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer except in those instances provided under the NRS.

 

The Registrant has adopted provisions in its bylaws that require it to indemnify its directors, officers, and certain other representatives against expenses, liabilities, and other matters arising out of their conduct on the Registrant’s behalf, or otherwise referred to in or covered by applicable provisions of the NRS, to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.

 

In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, under which the Registrant has agreed to indemnify such directors and officers against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and other types of losses incurred by reason of such directors and officers serving the Registrant, or other enterprise at the Registrant’s request, as an officer, director, employee, or agent, subject to certain limitations. Under the indemnification agreements, the Registrant has also agreed to advance the indemnitees’ expenses, and each indemnitee has undertaken to repay the advances should a court ultimately determine that indemnification was not authorized.

 

Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides that a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with an action, suit or proceeding in which the director or officer has been made or is threatened to be made a party, if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner which the director or officer reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reason to believe the director’s or officer’s conduct was unlawful. Any such indemnification may be made by the corporation only as ordered by a court, provided for in the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or another agreement with the corporation, or as authorized in a specific case upon a determination made in accordance with the NRS that such indemnification is proper in the circumstances.

 

 
II-1

Table of Contents

 

Indemnification may not be made under the NRS for any claim, issue, or matter as to which the director or officer has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the director or officer must be indemnified under the NRS by the corporation against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with the defense.

 

The Registrant maintains a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of the Registrant’s directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers. The Registrant’s directors and officers are covered by insurance policies indemnifying them against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which might be incurred by them in such capacities and against which they cannot be indemnified by the Registrant.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

(a) 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:

 

(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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) 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

Table of Contents

 

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

 

(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; or

 

(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;

 

(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 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
