Class A Common Stock
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 750,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) held by WTI Fund X, LLC (“Fund X”), and WTI Fund XI, LLC (“Fund XI”, and together with Fund X, the “Registered Holders”). We initially issued such shares as partial consideration for the availability and funding of a term loan facility made available to us pursuant to a loan and security agreement and related stock issuance agreement, each dated as of September 11, 2024. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Common Stock by the Registered Holders.
We are registering the shares of Common Stock for resale pursuant to registration rights granted to the Registered Holders under certain agreements between us and the Registered Holders. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Registered Holders will offer or sell any of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The Registered Holders may offer and sell the securities described in this prospectus and any related prospectus supplement to or through one or more underwriters, dealers and agents, or directly to purchasers, or through a combination of these methods.

The Registered Holders will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any, in connection with the sale of the shares of Common Stock. We have agreed to pay certain expenses in connection with this prospectus and to indemnify the Registered Holders against certain liabilities. To our knowledge, as of the date of this prospectus, no underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of shares of Common Stock in this offering. See the sections of this prospectus entitled “About this Prospectus” and “Plan of Distribution” for more information. No securities may be sold without delivery of this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement describing the method and terms of the offering of such securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS
This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a “shelf” registration process. By using a shelf registration statement, the Registered Holders may, from time to time, sell up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock from time to time in one or more offerings as described in this prospectus. In connection with the offer and sale of securities by the Registered Holders, the Registered Holders may provide a prospectus supplement to this prospectus that contains specific information about the securities being offered and sold and the specific terms of that offering. To the extent permitted by law, we may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. The prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus with respect to that offering. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, you should rely on the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, as applicable. Before purchasing any securities, you should carefully read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectuses, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”
This prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement.

Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.
Neither we, nor the Registered Holders, have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectuses prepared by or on behalf of us or to which we have referred you. We and the Registered Holders take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. The Registered Holders will not make an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement to this prospectus is accurate only as of the date of such prospectus or applicable prospectus supplement, that the information appearing in any applicable free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date of that free writing prospectus, and that any information incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, unless we indicate otherwise. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. This prospectus incorporates by reference, and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may contain and incorporate by reference, market data and industry statistics and forecasts that are based on independent industry publications and other publicly available information. Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on this information.
When we refer to “Owlet,” “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” in this prospectus, we mean Owlet, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise specified. When we refer to “you,” we mean the potential holders of the applicable series of securities.
We use our trademarks and our logo, in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference also include trademarks, tradenames and service marks that are the property of other organizations. Solely for convenience, trademarks and tradenames referred to in this prospectus appear without the ® and ™ symbols, but those references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights or that the applicable owner will not assert its rights, to these trademarks and tradenames.
NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties concerning our business, products and financial results. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, and any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

The Registered Holders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and any similar expenses they incur in disposing of the Common Stock, if any, and any related legal expenses incurred by them.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
General
The following description summarizes some of the terms of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “certificate of incorporation”), our amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), the Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Owlet, Inc. filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 17, 2023 (the “Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation”), the Certificate of Designation of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Owlet, Inc. filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on February 29, 2024 (the “Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation and the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, each of which has been publicly filed with the SEC, as well as the relevant provisions of the DGCL.
Our purpose is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the DGCL. Our authorized capital stock consists of 107,142,857 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and 10,741,071 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 20,729 shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding, 11,479 shares of which are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and 9,250 of which are designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”). The bylaws provide that our shares will be represented by certificates or will be uncertificated. Unless our board of directors (the “Board”) determines otherwise, we will issue all shares of our capital stock in uncertificated form.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Holders of shares of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the Common Stockholders. The holders of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The holders of a majority in voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise required by law or provided by our certificate of incorporation or bylaws. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting (unless the adjournment is for more than 30 days), until a quorum is present or represented.
Except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, the bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to us, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to us or our securities, each matter, other than the election of directors, presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting at which a quorum is present will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.
Pursuant to the Stock Issuance Agreement, each of the Registered Holders waives any right to vote (whether at any meeting of the holders of Common Stock, by written resolution or otherwise) any unvested shares owned by it during any period of time that such shares are subject to vesting pursuant the agreement. As of the date of this prospectus, the Registered Holders hold an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 187,500 shares of Common Stock are subject to vesting upon potential additional draw down of a certain term loan facility pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.
Dividend Rights
Declaration and payment of any dividend is subject to the discretion of the Board. The time and amount of dividends will be dependent upon, among other things, our business prospects, results of operations, financial
condition, cash requirements and availability, debt repayment obligations, capital expenditure needs, contractual restrictions, covenants in the agreements governing current and future indebtedness, industry trends, the provisions of Delaware law affecting the payment of dividends and distributions to stockholders and any other factors or considerations the Board may regard as relevant.
Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up
Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of our debts and any other payments required by law and amounts payable upon shares of preferred stock ranking senior to the shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, if any, our remaining net assets will be distributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, pro rata on a per share basis.
Other Matters
Holders of our Common Stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. There are no redemption provisions or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. The rights, powers, preferences and privileges of holders of the Common Stock are subject to those of the holders of any shares of our preferred stock currently outstanding or that the Board may authorize and issue in the future.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, the Board has the authority to issue shares of preferred stock from time to time on terms it may determine, to divide shares of preferred stock into one or more series and to fix the designations, preferences, privileges, and restrictions of preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preference and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of any series to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
The purpose of authorizing the Board to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of the outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Stock.
Series A Preferred Stock
On February 17, 2023 (the “Series A Closing Date”), we issued an aggregate of 30,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”). As of the date of this prospectus, the conversion rate is 145.7726 shares of Common Stock per Series A Preferred Share (the “Series A Conversion Rate”). Each Series A Preferred Share has the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as are set forth in the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation.
Ranking and Dividends
The Series A Preferred Shares rank (i) equal to the Series B Preferred Shares and (ii) senior to the Common Stock with respect to dividend rights, rights of redemption and rights upon a liquidation event. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series A Liquidation Preference”). We have agreed not to declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of Common Stock unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Shares then outstanding first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the product of (i) the dividend payable on each share of Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Share to Common Stock thereunder, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.
Conversion and Redemption
The Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time subsequent to the Series A Closing Date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by the number of Series A Preferred Shares so converted multiplied by the Series A Conversion Rate. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on the conversion date. The Series A Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution protections, including for stock dividends, splits, and combinations, rights offerings, spin-offs, distributions of cash or other property (to the extent not participating on an as-converted basis) and above market self-tender or exchange offers. At any time from and after the five-year anniversary of the Series A Closing Date, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Series A Preferred Shares may specify a date and time or the occurrence of an event by vote or written consent that all, and not less than all, outstanding Series A Preferred Shares will automatically be: (i) converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series A Conversion Rate, (ii) subject to certain exceptions and limitations, redeemed for an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Series A Liquidation Preference plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends as of the redemption date and time or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, we will be required to pay an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 per share or (ii) the consideration per share of Series A Preferred Stock as would have been payable had all Series A Preferred Shares been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event, plus, in each case, the aggregate amount of all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of final distribution to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
Voting and Consent Rights
Pursuant to the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation, holders of Series A Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not as a separate class, except as required by Delaware law. Additionally, for so long as any Series A Preferred Shares remain outstanding, we will be prohibited, without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series A Preferred Shares, from taking various corporate actions, including:
•creating, authorizing or issuing any additional Series A Preferred Shares or shares which rank senior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Shares;
•amending, waiving or repealing the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series A Preferred Shares;
•increasing or decreasing the authorized number of Series A Preferred Shares;
•exchanging, reclassifying or canceling the Series A Preferred Shares (except as contemplated by the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation);
•declaring or paying any dividend on, or making any distribution to, or repurchasing any shares of Common Stock or other securities that rank junior to the Series A Preferred Shares, subject to certain exceptions;
•incurring any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Series A Preferred Certificate of Designation); and
•creating, adopting, amending, terminating or repealing any equity (or equity-linked) compensation or incentive plan or increase the amount or number of equity securities reserved for issuance thereunder if the New York Stock Exchange would require stockholder approval of such action; provided that our 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the “2021 Plan”) and any automatic annual increases pursuant to the 2021 Plan shall not require approval.
Series B Preferred Stock
On February 29, 2024 (the “Series B Closing Date”), we issued an aggregate of 9,250 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Shares”). The conversion rate is 129.6596 shares of Common Stock per Series B Preferred Share (the “Series B Conversion Rate”). Each Series B Preferred
Share has the powers, designations, preferences and other rights as are set forth in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation.
Ranking and Dividends
The Series B Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights, rights of redemption and rights upon a liquidation event, (i) equal to the Series A Preferred Shares and (ii) senior to the Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per share (the “Series B Liquidation Preference”). We have agreed not to declare, pay or set aside any dividends on shares of Common Stock unless the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares then outstanding first receive, or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series B Preferred Share in an amount at least equal to the product of (i) the dividend payable on each share of Common Stock multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a share of Series B Preferred Share to Common Stock thereunder, in each case calculated on the record date for determination of holders entitled to receive such dividend.
Conversion and Redemption
The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time subsequent to the Series B Closing Date. The number of shares issuable upon conversion is determined by the number of Series B Preferred Shares so converted multiplied by the Series B Conversion Rate. Cash will be paid in lieu of any fractional shares based on the closing market price of the Common Stock on the conversion date. The Series B Conversion Rate is subject to adjustment for customary anti-dilution protections, including for stock dividends, splits, and combinations, rights offerings, spin-offs, distributions of cash or other property (to the extent not participating on an as-converted basis) and above market self-tender or exchange offers. At any time from and after the five-year anniversary of the Series B Closing Date, the holders of at least a majority of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Shares may specify a date and time or the occurrence of an event by vote or written consent that all, and not less than all, outstanding Series B Preferred Shares will automatically be: (i) converted into shares of Common Stock at the Series B Conversion Rate, (ii) subject to certain exceptions and limitations, redeemed for an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the Series B Liquidation Preference plus all accrued or declared but unpaid dividends as of the redemption date and time or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. Subject to certain exceptions, upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, we will be required to pay an amount per share of Series B Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (i) $1,000.00 per share or (ii) the consideration per share of Series B Preferred Stock as would have been payable had all Series B Preferred Shares been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event, plus, in each case, the aggregate amount of all declared but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of final distribution to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock.
The Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation includes certain provisions that prevent Eclipse (as defined below) from converting its Series B Preferred Shares to the extent such action would result in Eclipse beneficially owning in excess of 48.9% of our outstanding Common Stock or Total Voting Power (as defined in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation) (the “Individual Holder Share Cap”), provided that such Individual Holder Share Cap is subject to removal at Eclipse’s sole discretion upon written notice to us, provided that any increase or removal of such Individual Holder Share Cap will not be effective before the sixty-first (61st) day after such written notice.
Voting and Consent Rights
Pursuant to the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation, holders of Series B Preferred Shares are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of our stockholders, and not as a separate class, except as required by Delaware law. Additionally, for so long as any Series B Preferred Shares remain outstanding, we will be prohibited, without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Series B Preferred Shares, from taking various corporate actions, including:
•creating, authorizing or issuing any additional Series B Preferred Shares or shares which rank senior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred Shares;
•amending, waiving or repealing the rights, preferences or privileges of the Series B Preferred Shares;
•increasing or decreasing the authorized number of Series B Preferred Shares;
•exchanging, reclassifying or canceling the Series B Preferred Shares (except as contemplated by the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation);
•declaring or paying any dividend on, or making any distribution to, or repurchasing any shares of Common Stock or other securities that rank junior to the Series B Preferred Shares, subject to certain exceptions;
•incurring any indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation); and
•creating, adopting, amending, terminating or repealing any equity (or equity-linked) compensation or incentive plan or increase the amount or number of equity securities reserved for issuance thereunder if the New York Stock Exchange would require stockholder approval of such action; provided that the 2021 Plan and any automatic annual increases pursuant to the 2021 Plan shall not require approval.
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which would apply if and so long as our Common Stock remains listed on NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Common Stock and certain other issuances specified in the rules of NYSE. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Common Stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Common Stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us.
Anti-takeover Effects of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of us. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of our stockholders. However, they also give the Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.
Classified Board of Directors
As indicated below, our certificate of incorporation provides that the Board is divided into three classes of directors, with each class of directors being elected by our stockholders every three years. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Board.
Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals
Unless otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, special meetings of our stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called only by or at the direction of (i) the Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iv) the President. Unless otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation, or the bylaws, written notice of a special meeting of
stockholders, stating the date, time, place, if any, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than 10 or more than 60 days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.
The certificate of incorporation provides that the holders of our Common Stock are not permitted to act by written consent.
In addition, our bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the Board or otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or by a stockholder who is present in person at the meeting, who was also a record owner of our shares both at the time of giving the notice provided for in the bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to our secretary, of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting and otherwise complied with the requirements in the bylaws.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if such actions are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. Under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to approve amendments to a corporation’s bylaws, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:
•the provisions regarding our preferred stock;
•the provisions regarding the size, classification, appointment, removal and authority of the Board;
•the provisions regarding the Board’s and the stockholders’ ability to amend the bylaws;
•the provisions generally prohibiting stockholder actions without a meeting;
•the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;
•the provisions regarding our ability to indemnify and advance expenses for our current and former officers, directors, employees and agents and any person who is or was serving at the request of us a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; and
•the provisions regarding the limited liability of our directors.
Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed (A) by the Board or (B) in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of our stock required by applicable law or by the certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designation in respect of one or more series of Preferred Stock) or the bylaws, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of our voting stock entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.
Business Combinations
Section 203 of the DGCL provides that a corporation will not engage in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of 3 years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:
•prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
•upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (subject to certain exclusions); or
•at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
A Delaware corporation may elect in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws not to be governed by this particular Delaware law.
Generally, a “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation with the interested stockholder, certain asset or stock sales to the interested stockholder and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is any person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) that (i) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation, or (ii) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within the 3-year period immediately prior to the date on which it is sought to be determined whether such person is an interested stockholder, and the affiliates and associates of such person.
Since we have not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it applies to us. As a result, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with us for a three-year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Board approves either the business combination or the transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in the Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.
Election of Directors and Vacancies
The number of directors of the Board shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board is divided into three classes, designated Class I, II and III, and each class of directors will be elected by our stockholders every three years. The Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2023 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), by and among us, Eclipse Ventures Fund I, L.P., Eclipse Continuity Fund I, L.P. and Eclipse Early Growth Fund I (together, “Eclipse”) also provides that, (a) until such time as Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse shall be entitled to nominate two individuals (the “Eclipse Directors” and each, an “Eclipse Director”) and (b) from such time that Eclipse beneficially owns less than 20.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors and until Eclipse beneficially owns less than 10.0% of the total voting power entitled to elect directors, Eclipse will be entitled to nominate one Eclipse Director and, we will include the nominee selected by Eclipse as a director nominee in our proxy statement for our annual meeting each time directors from the class to which such nominee is assigned are up for election.
Under the bylaws, except as otherwise provided by the certificate of incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast will be sufficient to elect a director.
Except as the DGCL or the Stockholders Agreement may otherwise require and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of preferred stock, in the interim between annual meetings of stockholders or special meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors and/or the removal of one or more directors and the filling of any vacancy in that connection, newly created directorships and any vacancies on the Board, including unfilled vacancies resulting from the removal of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. All directors will hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors will have been elected and qualified. A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director or a newly created directorship will serve for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors in which the new directorship was created or the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified.
Subject to the Stockholders Agreement and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock, any director may be removed from office only with cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of voting stock then entitled to vote at an election of directors.
In addition to the powers and authorities hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by us, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and to any bylaws adopted and in effect from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any director elected pursuant to the right, if any, of the holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances will serve for such term or terms and pursuant to such other provisions as specified in the relevant certificate of designations related to the preferred stock.
Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions
Our bylaws require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, that derivative actions brought on our behalf, actions against any of our directors, officers or stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty, actions asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, and actions asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine may be brought only in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the foregoing and having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in such action as agent for such stockholder. Although we believe this provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, our bylaws require that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act and, if brought in a court other than the federal district courts of the United States of America, the stockholder bringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to the personal jurisdiction of the federal district courts of the United States of America in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the foregoing and having service of process made upon such stockholder’s counsel in such action as agent for such stockholder. However, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision, and investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The foregoing provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive jurisdiction. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify them to the fullest extent permitted by such law. We have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the Board. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, we are required to indemnify each of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests. We must indemnify our officers and directors against all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs of any type or nature whatsoever, including any and all expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in any completed, actual, pending or threatened action, suit, claim or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, or establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification under the indemnification agreement. The indemnification agreements also require us, if so requested, to advance within 30 days of such request all reasonable fees, expenses, charges and other costs that such director or officer incurred, provided that such person will return any such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by us. Any claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.
Trading Symbol and Market
Our Common Stock is listed on NYSE under the symbol “OWLT.”
REGISTERED HOLDERS
This prospectus relates to the possible resale by certain of the Registered Holders from time to time of up to an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 187,500 shares of Common Stock are subject to vesting (as of February 28, 2025) upon potential additional draw down of a certain term loan facility pursuant to the loan and security agreement we entered on September 11, 2024. We issued such shares as partial consideration for the availability and funding of a term loan facility made available to us pursuant to the loan and security agreement and related stock issuance agreement. The term “Registered Holder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other permitted successors in interest selling shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a Registered Holder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer.
The following table and footnote disclosure following the table sets forth information concerning the shares of Common Stock that may be offered from time to time by each Registered Holder, the nature of any position, office or other material relationship, if any, that each Registered Holder has had within the past three years with us or with any of our predecessors or affiliates and the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by each Registered Holder before this offering. The number of shares beneficially owned by each Registered Holder is determined under rules issued by the SEC. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the Registered Holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 16,566,429 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 28, 2025. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a Registered Holder and their percentage ownership, shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants or other rights held by such Registered Holder that are currently exercisable or will become exercisable within 60 days of February 28, 2025 are considered outstanding, although these shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other Registered Holder. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Registered Holders will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering. Each of the Registered Holders listed has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially owned by the Registered Holder unless noted otherwise.
The information in the following table has been provided to us by or on behalf of the Registered Holders and the Registered Holders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their securities after the date on which they provided us with information regarding their securities. A Registered Holder may sell all, some or none of its securities in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Registered Holders may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. The Registered Holders will not pay any of the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, but they will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and similar charges attributable to sales of the shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby. The Registered Holders may sell some or all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus from time to time or may decide not to sell any of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The Registered Holders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. The Registered Holders may dispose of their shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:
•distributions to members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders of the Registered Holders;
•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
•block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the NYSE;
•through trading plans entered into by a Registered Holder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
•to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;
•in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
•in privately negotiated transactions;
•in options transactions;
•through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
•any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
In addition, any shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or Rule 144, may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. A Registered Holder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Common Stock to its members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners, stockholders or other equityholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of Common Stock pursuant to a distribution pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the Registered Holders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Registered Holders. The Registered Holders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The Registered Holders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions that 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 Registered Holders may also pledge shares to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
A Registered Holder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by any Registered Holder or borrowed from any Registered Holder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any Registered Holder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any Registered Holder may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by the Registered Holders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from the Registered Holders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the Registered Holders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Registered Holders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any profits realized by the Registered Holders and the compensation of any broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.
We have advised the Registered Holders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the Registered Holders and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Registered Holders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Registered Holders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
At the time a particular offer of shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director of the Registrant shall be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or a person serving at the request of the corporation for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, ending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
In any underwriting agreement we enter into in connection with the sale of Common Stock being registered hereby, the underwriters may agree to indemnify, under certain conditions, us, Registered Holders, our directors, our officers and persons who control us within the meaning of the Securities Act against certain liabilities.

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:
(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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(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) 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 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 a 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.
(4)That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(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.
(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 communications 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.
(h)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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
