eMagin
Corporation
We
design, develop, and market OLED (organic light emitting diode)-on-silicon
microdisplays and related information technology solutions. We integrate
high-resolution OLED displays (smaller than one-inch diagonal), magnifying
optics, and systems technologies to create a virtual image that appears
comparable to that of a computer monitor or a large-screen television. We
have
developed unique technology for producing high performance OLED microdisplays
and related optical systems. We are the only company to announce, publicly
show,
and sell full-color active matrix OLED-on-silicon microdisplays. We are now
supplying our first two commercial microdisplay products (SVGA+ and SVGA
3D OLED
microdisplays) in initial commercial quantities to original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs). In addition, we sell integrated display and optics
modules
to military, homeland defense, industrial, and medical customers. These products
are being applied or considered for near-eye and headset applications in
products such as entertainment and gaming headsets, handheld Internet and
telecommunication appliances, viewfinders, night vision viewers, firefighting
helmets, simulation tools, and wearable computers manufactured by OEM customers.
October
2005 Securities Purchase Agreement
On
October 20, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell
to
certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors an aggregate
of
16,619,056 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the
“Shares”), and warrants to purchase an additional 9,971,427 shares of common
stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $9,140,000. The purchase
price of the common stock and corresponding warrant was $0.55 per share.
The
warrants are exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share and expire on October
20,
2010. Of the 9,971,427 warrants, 6,647,623 of the warrants are exercisable
on or
after May 20, 2006. The remaining 3,323,804 are exercisable after March 31,
2007, however these warrants will be cancelled if the Company’s net revenue for
fiscal year 2006 exceeds $20 million or if the investor has sold more than
25%
of the shares purchased under the securities purchase agreement prior to
December 31, 2006.
In
addition, on October 20, 2005 we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the investors to register the resale of the Shares sold in the offering
and
the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Subject
to
the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to file a
registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) within 30 days of the closing, to use our best efforts to cause the
registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act
of 1933
(the “Act”) as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in no event
later than
90 days
after the filing date and no later than 120 days after the filing date (in
the
event of SEC review of the registration statement), and
to
use our best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective
under the Act until all the registrable securities covered by the registration
statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant
to
Rule 144(k).
We
claim
an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act for the private
placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or
Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction
did not involve a public offering, the investors were accredited investors
and/or qualified institutional buyers, the investors had access to information
about the company and their investment, the investors took the securities
for
investment and not resale, and the Company took appropriate measures to restrict
the transfer of the securities.
Roth
Capital Partners, LLC acted as selling agent in connection with the private
placement. We paid sales commissions and expenses of approximately $805,000
to
the selling agent as consideration for services performed in connection with
the
sale of our common stock and warrants pursuant to the Securities Purchase
Agreement.
This
investment has a high degree of risk. Before you invest you should carefully
consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information
in this prospectus. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business,
operating results and financial condition could be harmed and the value of
our
stock could go down. This means you could lose all or a part of your investment.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS
WE
HAVE A HISTORY OF LOSSES SINCE OUR INCEPTION AND MAY INCUR LOSSES FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Accumulated
losses excluding non-cash transactions as of September 30, 2005, were $59
million and acquisition related non-cash transactions were $102 million,
which
resulted in an accumulated deficit of $161 million, the majority of
which
was related to the March 2000 acquisition and the subsequent write-down of
our
goodwill. The non-cash losses were dominated by the amortization and write-down
of goodwill and purchased intangibles and write-down of acquired in process
research and development related to the March 2000 acquisition, and also
included some non-cash stock-based compensation. We have not yet achieved
profitability and we can give no assurances that we will achieve profitability
within the foreseeable future as we fund operating and capital expenditures
in
areas such as establishment and expansion of markets, sales and marketing,
operating equipment and research and development. We cannot assure investors
that we will ever achieve or sustain profitability or that our operating
losses
will not increase in the future.
WE
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND MAY NOT GENERATE CASH FROM
OPERATIONS
In
the
event that cash flow from operations is less than anticipated and we are
unable
to secure additional funding to cover our expenses, in order to preserve
cash,
we would be required to reduce expenditures and effect reductions in our
corporate infrastructure, either of which could have a material adverse effect
on our ability to continue our current level of operations. To the extent
that
operating expenses increase or we need additional funds to make acquisitions,
develop new technologies or acquire strategic assets, the need for additional
funding may be accelerated and there can be no assurances that any such
additional funding can be obtained on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
If we
were not able to generate sufficient capital, either from operations or through
additional debt or equity financing, to fund our current operations, we would
be
forced to significantly reduce or delay our plans for continued research
and
development and expansion. This could significantly reduce the value of our
securities.
RISKS
RELATED TO MANUFACTURING
THE
MANUFACTURE OF OLED-ON-SILICON IS NEW AND OLED MICRODISPLAYS HAVE NOT BEEN
PRODUCED IN SIGNIFICANT QUANTITIES.
If
we are
unable to produce our products in sufficient quantity, we will be unable
to meet
our customer’s time requirements and would have difficulties in attracting new
customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that once we commence volume
production we will attain yields at high throughput that will result in
profitable gross margins or that we will not experience manufacturing problems
which could result in delays in delivery of orders or product
introductions.
WE
ARE DEPENDENT ON A SINGLE MANUFACTURING LINE.
We
currently manufacture our products on a single manufacturing line. If we
experience any significant disruption in the operation of our manufacturing
facility or a serious failure of a critical piece of equipment, we may be
unable
to supply microdisplays to our customers. For this reason, some OEMs may
also be
reluctant to commit a broad line of products to our microdisplays without
a
second production facility in place. Interruptions in our manufacturing could
be
caused by manufacturing equipment problems, the introduction of new equipment
into the manufacturing process or delays in the delivery of new manufacturing
equipment. Lead-time for delivery of manufacturing equipment can be extensive.
No assurance can be given that we will not lose potential sales or be unable
to
meet production orders due to production interruptions in our manufacturing
line. In order to meet the requirements of certain OEMs for multiple
manufacturing sites, we will have to expend capital to secure additional
sites
and may not be able to manage multiple sites successfully.
WE
DEPEND ON SEMICONDUCTOR CONTRACT MANUFACTURERS TO SUPPLY OUR SILICON INTEGRATED
CIRCUITS AND OTHER SUPPLIERS OF KEY COMPONENTS, MATERIALS AND SERVICES.
We
do not
manufacture the silicon integrated circuits on which we incorporate our OLED
technology. Instead, we provide the design layouts to semiconductor contract
manufacturers who manufacture the integrated circuits on silicon wafers.
We also
depend on suppliers of a variety of other components and services, including
circuit boards, graphic integrated circuits, passive components, materials
and
chemicals, and equipment support. Our inability to obtain sufficient quantities
of high quality silicon integrated circuits or other necessary components,
materials or services on a timely basis could result in manufacturing delays,
increased costs and ultimately in reduced or delayed sales or lost orders
which
could materially and adversely affect our operating results.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
WE
RELY ON OUR LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH EASTMAN KODAK FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR
PRODUCTS.
Our
principal products under development utilize OLED technology that we license
from Eastman Kodak. We rely upon Eastman Kodak to protect and enforce key
patents held by them, relating to OLED display technology. Eastman Kodak's
patents expire at various times in the future. Our license with Eastman Kodak
could terminate if we fail to perform any material term or covenant under
the
license agreement. Since our license from Eastman Kodak is non-exclusive,
Eastman Kodak could also elect to become a competitor itself or to license
OLED
technology for microdisplay applications to others who have the potential
to
compete with us. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material
adverse impact on our business.
WE
MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN PROTECTING OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND PROPRIETARY
RIGHTS.
We
rely
on a combination of patents, trade secret protection, licensing agreements
and
other arrangements to establish and protect our proprietary technologies.
If we
fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive
position could suffer, which could harm our operating results. Patents may
not
be issued for our current patent applications, third parties may challenge,
invalidate or circumvent any patent issued to us, unauthorized parties could
obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary despite our efforts
to
protect our proprietary rights, rights granted under patents issued to us
may
not afford us any competitive advantage, others may independently develop
similar technology or design around our patents, our technology may be available
to licensees of Eastman Kodak, and protection of our intellectual property
rights may be limited in certain foreign countries. We may be required to
expend
significant resources to monitor and police our intellectual property rights.
Any future infringement or other claims or prosecutions related to our
intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Any
such claims, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result
in
costly litigation, divert management's attention and resources, or require
us to
enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Such royalty or licensing
agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us,
if at
all. Protection of intellectual property has historically been a large yearly
expense for eMagin. We have not been in a financial position to properly
protect
all of our intellectual property, and may not be in a position to properly
protect our position or stay ahead of competition in new research and the
protecting of the resulting intellectual property.
RISKS
RELATED TO THE MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY
THE
COMMERCIAL SUCCESS OF THE MICRODISPLAY INDUSTRY DEPENDS ON THE WIDESPREAD
MARKET
ACCEPTANCE OF MICRODISPLAY SYSTEMS PRODUCTS.
The
market for microdisplays is emerging. Our success will depend on consumer
acceptance of microdisplays as well as the success of the commercialization
of
the microdisplay market. As an OEM supplier, our customer's products must
also
be well accepted. At present, it is difficult to assess or predict with any
assurance the potential size, timing and viability of market opportunities
for
our technology in this market. The viewfinder microdisplay market sector
is well
established with entrenched competitors with whom we must compete.
THE
MICRODISPLAY SYSTEMS BUSINESS IS INTENSELY COMPETITIVE.
We
do
business in intensely competitive markets that are characterized by rapid
technological change, changes in market requirements and competition from
both
other suppliers and our potential OEM customers. Such markets are typically
characterized by price erosion. This intense competition could result in
pricing
pressures, lower sales, reduced margins, and lower market share. Our ability
to
compete successfully will depend on a number of factors, both within and
outside
our control. We expect these factors to include the following:
· |
our
success in designing, manufacturing and delivering expected new
products,
including those implementing new technologies on a timely
basis;
|
· |
our
ability to address the needs of our customers and the quality of
our
customer services;
|
· |
the
quality, performance, reliability, features, ease of use and pricing
of
our products;
|
· |
successful
expansion of our manufacturing
capabilities;
|
· |
our
efficiency of production, and ability to manufacture and ship products
on
time;
|
· |
the
rate at which original equipment manufacturing customers incorporate
our
product solutions into their own
products;
|
· |
the
market acceptance of our customers’ products;
and
|
· |
product
or technology introductions by our
competitors.
|
Our
competitive position could be damaged if one or more potential OEM customers
decide to manufacture their own microdisplays, using OLED or alternate
technologies. In addition, our customers may be reluctant to rely on a
relatively small company such as eMagin for a critical component. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and
future competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse
effect upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
THE
DISPLAY INDUSTRY IS CYCLICAL.
The
display industry is characterized by
fabrication facilities that
require large capital expenditures and long lead
times
for supplies and the subsequent processing time, leading to
frequent mismatches between supply and demand. The OLED microdisplay
sector
may experience overcapacity if and when all of the facilities
presently in the planning stage come on line leading to a difficult
market in which to sell our products.
COMPETING
PRODUCTS MAY GET TO MARKET SOONER THAN OURS.
Our competitors are
investing substantial resources in the development and
manufacture of microdisplay systems using alternative
technologies such as reflective liquid crystal displays
(LCDs), LCD-on-Silicon ("LCOS") microdisplays, active
matrix
electroluminescence and scanning image systems, and transmissive active matrix
LCDs. Our competitive position could be damaged if one or more of our
competitors’ products get to the market sooner than our products. We cannot
assure you that our product will get to market ahead of our competitors or
that
we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competition.
The failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect upon our business,
operating results and financial condition.
OUR
COMPETITORS HAVE MANY ADVANTAGES OVER US.
As
the microdisplay market develops, we expect to experience
intense competition from numerous domestic and foreign
companies including well-established corporations possessing worldwide
manufacturing and production facilities, greater name recognition,
larger retail bases and significantly greater
financial, technical, and marketing resources than us, as well
as from
emerging companies attempting to obtain a share of the various markets
in
which our microdisplay products have the potential to compete. We cannot
assure
you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future
competition, and the failure to do so would have a materially adverse effect
upon our business, operating results and financial condition.
OUR
PRODUCTS ARE SUBJECT TO LENGTHY OEM DEVELOPMENT PERIODS.
We
plan
to sell most of our microdisplays and related products to OEMs who will
incorporate them into or with products they sell. OEMs determine during their
product development phase whether they will incorporate our products. The
time
elapsed between initial sampling of our products by OEMs, the custom design
of
our products to meet specific OEM product requirements, and the ultimate
incorporation of our products into OEM consumer products is significant.
If our
products fail to meet our OEM customers' cost, performance or technical
requirements or if unexpected technical challenges arise in the integration
of
our products into OEM consumer products, our operating results could be
significantly and adversely affected. Long delays in achieving customer
qualification and incorporation of our products could adversely affect our
business.
OUR
PRODUCTS WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE RAPIDLY DECLINING UNIT PRICES.
In
the
markets in which we compete, prices of established products tend to decline
significantly over time. In order to maintain our profit margins over the
long
term, we anticipate that we will need to continuously develop product
enhancements and new technologies that will either slow price declines of
our
products or reduce the cost of producing and delivering our products. While
we
anticipate many opportunities to reduce production costs over time, there
can be
no assurance that these cost reduction plans will be timely and there can
be no
assurance that these cost reduction plans will be successful. We may also
attempt to offset the anticipated decrease in our average selling price by
introducing new products, increasing our sales volumes or adjusting our product
mix. If we fail to do so, our results of operations would be materially and
adversely affected.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
OUR
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ATTRACTING AND RETAINING HIGHLY SKILLED AND QUALIFIED
TECHNICAL AND CONSULTING PERSONNEL.
We
must
hire highly skilled technical personnel as employees and as independent
contractors in order to develop our products. The competition for skilled
technical employees is intense and we may not be able to retain or recruit
such
personnel. We must compete with companies that possess greater financial
and
other resources than we do, and that may be more attractive to potential
employees and contractors. To be competitive, we may have to increase the
compensation, bonuses, stock options and other fringe benefits offered to
employees in order to attract and retain such personnel. The costs of retaining
or attracting new personnel may have a materially adverse affect on our business
and our operating results. In addition, difficulties in hiring and retaining
technical personnel could delay the implementation of our business
plan.
OUR
SUCCESS DEPENDS IN A LARGE PART ON THE CONTINUING SERVICE OF KEY PERSONNEL.
Changes
in management could have an adverse effect on our business. We are dependent
upon the active participation of several key management personnel, including
Gary W. Jones, our chief executive officer. We will also need to recruit
additional management in order to expand according to our business plan.
The
failure to attract and retain additional management or personnel could have
a
material adverse effect on our operating results and financial
performance.
OUR
BUSINESS DEPENDS ON NEW PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGIES.
The
market for our products is characterized by rapid changes in product, design
and
manufacturing process technologies. Our success depends to a large extent
on our
ability to develop and manufacture new products and technologies to match
the
varying requirements of different customers in order to establish a competitive
position and become profitable. Furthermore, we must adopt our products and
processes to technological changes and emerging industry standards and practices
on a cost-effective and timely basis. Our failure to accomplish any of the
above
could harm our business and operating results.
WE
GENERALLY DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM CONTRACTS WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.
Our
business is operated on the basis of short-term purchase orders and we cannot
guarantee that we will be able to obtain long-term contracts for some time.
Our
current purchase agreements can be cancelled or revised without penalty,
depending on the circumstances. In the absence of a backlog of orders that
can
only be canceled with penalty, we plan production on the basis of internally
generated forecasts of demand, which makes it difficult to accurately forecast
revenues. If we fail to accurately forecast operating results, our business
may
suffer and the value of your investment in the Company may decline.
OUR
BUSINESS STRATEGY MAY FAIL IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO FORM STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIPS
WITH COMPANIES THAT MANUFACTURE AND USE PRODUCTS THAT COULD INCORPORATE OUR
OLED-ON-SILICON TECHNOLOGY.
Our
prospects will be significantly affected by our ability to develop strategic
alliances with OEMs for incorporation of our OLED-on-silicon technology into
their products. While we intend to continue to establish strategic relationships
with manufacturers of electronic consumer products, personal computers,
chipmakers, lens makers, equipment makers, material suppliers and/or systems
assemblers, there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to establish
and maintain strategic relationships on commercially acceptable terms, or
that
the alliances we do enter in to will realize their objectives. Failure to
do so
would have a material adverse effect on our business.
OUR
BUSINESS DEPENDS TO SOME EXTENT ON INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS.
We
purchase needed materials from companies located abroad and may be adversely
affected by political and currency risk, as well as the additional costs
of
doing business with a foreign entity. Some customers in other countries have
longer receivable periods or warranty periods. In addition, many of the OEMs
that are the most likely long-term purchasers of our microdisplays are located
abroad exposing us to additional political and currency risk. We may find
it
necessary to locate manufacturing facilities abroad to be closer to our
customers which could expose us to additional risks, including management
of a multi-national organization, the complexities of complying with foreign
laws and customs, political instability and the complexities of taxation
in
multiple jurisdictions.
WE
HAVE A STAGGERED BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OTHER ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS, WHICH
COULD INHIBIT POTENTIAL INVESTORS OR DELAY OR PREVENT A CHANGE OF CONTROL
THAT
MAY FAVOR YOU.
Our
Board
of Directors is divided into three classes and our Board members are elected
for
terms that are staggered. This could discourage the efforts by others to
obtain
control of the company. Some of the provisions of our certificate of
incorporation, our bylaws and Delaware law could, together or separately,
discourage potential acquisition proposals or delay or prevent a change in
control. In particular, our board of directors is authorized to issue up
to
10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (less any outstanding shares of preferred
stock) with rights and privileges that might be senior to our common stock,
without the consent of the holders of the common stock.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR STOCK
THE
SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES THAT ARE OR WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SALE COULD
CAUSE
OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE TO DECLINE EVEN IF THE COMPANY IS SUCCESSFUL.
Sales
of
significant amounts of common stock in the public market, or the perception
that
such sales may occur, could materially affect the market price of our common
stock. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity
or
equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate. As of November 13, 2005, we have outstanding (i) options to
purchase 17,087,636 shares; and (ii) warrants to purchase 27,744,866 shares
of
common stock.
The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides a safe
harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. We and
our
representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that
are
"forward-looking," including statements contained in this prospectus and
other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our stockholders
and news releases. All statements that express expectations, estimates,
forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the meaning
of
the Act. In addition, other written or oral statements which constitute
forward-looking statements may be made by us or on our behalf. Words such
as
"expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates,"
"projects," "forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words and similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks,
uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. Therefore,
actual
outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted
in or suggested by such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation
to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
new

This
prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and

Each
selling stockholder of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees
and
successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares
of common stock on the trading market 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 or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may
use
any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
· |
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
· |
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
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;
|
· |
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a
part;
|
· |
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per
share;
|
· |
a
combination of any such methods of
sale;
|
· |
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
or
|
· |
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this
prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers
to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts
from
the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but,
except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an
agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance
with
NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown
in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling
stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling
stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or 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 stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares 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 purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed
us
that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly
or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event
shall
any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate,
would exceed eight percent (8%).
We
are
required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the
registration of the shares. We has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders
against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities
under the Securities Act.
Because
selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of
the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus
which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may
be sold
under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. Each selling stockholder
has
advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding
the sale of the resale shares. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker
acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling
stockholders.
We
agreed
to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which
the
shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares
have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities
Act
or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only
through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not
be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement
is
available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged
in
the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted
period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations there
under, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales
of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person.
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders
and
have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each
purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
