Our Company

 

Mandalay Digital Group is at the convergence of Internet media content and mobile communications. We are an established provider of mobile services enabling mobile content distribution and transactions serving mobile operators, end consumers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEM’s) of mobile devices and tablets. Our software as a service (“SaaS”) based platform delivers a mobile services platform that works with mobile operators and third-party publishers to provide portal management, user interface, content development and billing technology that enables the ecosystem required for the global distribution of mobile content. Our platforms provide our customers with the tools to implement an intuitive user experience and storefront, enabling the discovery, purchase and download of mobile content. Our integrated solutions address the mobile ecosystem spanning mobile optimized websites, mobile applications, mobile merchandising and content management, mobile messaging, mobile advertising, mobile billing and predictive analytics. Our solutions empower our customers to drive loyalty, generate revenue and re-engineer business processes to capture the advantages of their mobile-enabled customer base. Our predictive analytics capabilities allow our customers to recommend the right solution to their end-customer based upon the consumers’ tastes and preferences. We are headquartered in Los Angeles and have offices in Europe, Israel and Australia to support our global sales and marketing efforts.

 

Key Operating Divisions

 

Through its acquisitions of Digital Turbine, Logia, and MIA, the Company now has five product suites that provide an end-to-end solution for operators, device OEMs, and other third parties to monetize mobile content. Those solutions are branded: Digital Turbine Ignite, Digital Turbine IQ, Digital Turbine Marketplace, Digital Turbine Content, and Digital Turbine Pay. The solutions can be sold together as a holistic ‘end-to-end’ product suite or de-bundled individually, depending upon the needs of the customer.

 

Digital Turbine

 

On December 28, 2011, the Company acquired the assets of Digital Turbine Group, LLC, the developer of Digital Turbine, which has been re-branded as “Digital Turbine IQ”, a technology platform that allows media companies, mobile carriers, and their OEM handset partners to take advantage of multiple mobile operating systems across multiple networks, and offers solutions that allow them to maintain their own branding and personalized, one-to-one relationships with each end-user. IQ’s cross-platform user interface and multimedia management system for carriers and OEMs can be integrated with different operating systems to provide a more organized and unified experience for end-users of mobile content across search, discovery, billing, and delivery. Other aspects of the platform, such as a smart content discovery toolbar, allows carriers and OEMs to control the data presented to their users while giving the end-user a more efficient way of finding and purchasing the desired content.

 

With the acquisition and integration of the assets of Digital Turbine, the Company is able to provide an end-to-end, modular platform to the Company’s existing carrier customers. The combined Digital Turbine offering allows new and existing customers to choose from a fully outsourced, smart mobile ecosystem to more efficient, modular components that can be integrated with different operating systems to provide a more unified experience for end-users of mobile content across search, discovery, billing, and delivery.

 

Based upon the initial launch data, the Company believes there is an opportunity to integrate its IQ platform with new and existing mobile carriers. Mobile carriers are facing increased competition from competing mobile application storefronts and improved user experiences from other retailing, social networking, and operating system providers including Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook. As a result, operators are looking for new, innovative solutions to better manage their existing user experience. The IQ platform can be “whitelabeled” to allow operators to custom tailor their own unique branding experience to the customer.

 

5
 

 

In addition to improved user experiences, many operators are looking for end-to-end solutions for their mobile storefronts that include procuring and programming the content, managing the content experience, ingesting content into the content management system (CMS), securely installing and de-installing applications from the device, and integrating with the back-end elements such as billing interfaces, analytics, settlement, and reporting.

 

Digital Turbine Ignite is a mobile application management software that is pre-installed on devices to help operators and content providers pre-install software in a more automated and segmented fashion. This software allows operators to customize the out-of-the-box experience for customers and monetize their homescreens via Cost-Per-Install or CPI arrangements with third party software developers. The Company has launched with numerous new customers for Digital Turbine Ignite such as Telefonica, Avea Turkey, and Cellcom Israel.

 

Digital Turbine IQ is a User Experience and User Interface that enables customers to search and discover content from various sources including social media, search engines, and applications. Early results from the Digital Turbine IQ product indicate that customers are more satisfied and purchase more content when the IQ software is being utilized as the primary search and discovery vehicle. To date, IQ has been deployed with Boost in Australia, Cellcom in Israel, and Axis in Indonesia.

 

Digital Turbine Marketplace is an application storefront that manages the retailing of mobile content including features such as merchandizing, product placements, reporting, pricing, promotions, and distribution of digital goods. The Digital Turbine Marketplace is deployed with many operators around the world including with operators in Australia, Israel, Philippines, and Italy.

 

Digital Turbine Content is the primary revenue generating product from Digital Turbine today. It includes the distribution and licensing of content across multiple content categories including music, applications, wallpapers, eBooks, and games. The Company has its content being sold across multiple geographies including such as Australia, Israel, Turkey, Indonesia, Philippines, Italy, India and Germany.

 

DT Pay is a Application Programming Interface (API) that integrates between mobile operators billing infrastructure and content publishers to facilitate mobile commerce. Increasingly, mobile content publishers want to go directly to consumers to sell their content versus sell through traditional distributors such as Google Play or Apple Application Store. DT Pay allows the publishers and the operators to monetize those applications by allowing the content to be billed directly to the consumer via the operator bill. Currently DT Pay is launched in both Australia and Italy.

 

Logia

 

The Company acquired the assets of Logia Group, Ltd. on September 13, 2012. As a part of the transaction, the Company, through one or more subsidiaries acquired, among other things, the assets comprising the “LogiaDeck” software, which has been rebranded “Digital Turbine Ignite” (Ignite), and certain operator and other contracts related to the business. Ignite is a patent pending mobile application management solution that enables operators and device OEM’s to pre-install and manage applications from a single web interface. It simplifies the device launch process for operators as well as allows the Company and the operator or OEM to monetize their devices with pre-installation of applications.

 

Logia’s solutions for top-tier mobile operators and content providers include device application management solutions, white label app and media stores, in-app payment solutions, app-based value added services, and mobile social music and TV offerings. Logia operates in more than 20 countries and provides services to more than 50 leading mobile carriers. It has relationships with over 500 app developers and content vendors and well as business agreements with unique mobile platforms and service providers. Our strategy is to combine Logia’s mobile solutions, carrier relationships and global distribution capabilities with the IQ user experience to provide a ‘best-in-class’, end-to-end solution for the Company’s carrier partners to fully monetize their mobile content catalogs as well as third-party offerings. The Company has signed contracts to license the Ignite solution with numerous global customers including Telefonica, Cellcom, and Avea.

Twistbox Entertainment, Inc.

 

On February 12, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of Twistbox Entertainment, Inc. (“Twistbox”).

 

Twistbox is a global publisher, developer and enabler of mobile content and data services across mobile networks. Twistbox provides its services in over 14 countries supporting over 50 carriers. Since operations began in 2003, Twistbox has developed an intellectual property portfolio that includes a proprietary mobile publishing platform covering: tools that automate device management; distribution and billing technology; a mobile games development, distribution and retail platform; and a content ratings system adopted by wireless carriers globally to assist with the deployment of age-verified content. Twistbox has leveraged its intellectual property and carrier-class platforms to secure agreements with leading mobile operators throughout the world including, among others, Vodafone, Telefonica, and Orange.

 

Twistbox currently has a large number of distribution agreements with mobile operators and portals in Europe and North America. Twistbox currently has distribution agreements with more than 15 single territory operators in 11 countries. The strength and coverage of these relationships is of paramount importance and the ability to support and service them is a vital channel for Twistbox’s new product offerings and services.

 

We are still considering the future status and role of Twistbox in relation to our focus on the IQ platform. Although it is one of our active businesses, Twistbox revenues have been declining, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future. At the same time, we are leveraging its existing customer base for offerings by IQ. While offering the IQ platform to Twistbox customers is an attractive strategy, it continues to entail significant risks, some of which are described in the “Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, and includes the risk that Twistbox may operate at a deficit while we work on launching the suite of IQ products, which, in turn, entails business and financial risks and the possibility of needing additional capital and the associate dilution.

 

MIA

 

On April 12, 2013, the Company, through its indirect wholly owned subsidiary organized under the laws of Australia, acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Mirror Image International Holdings Pty Ltd (“MIAH”). MIAH owns direct or indirect subsidiaries that we refer to as the “MIA Group”. The acquired business of the MIA Group is referred to as “MIA” in this prospectus. MIA is a leading mobile solutions provider based in Australia. MIA has extensive content licenses with major brands as well as a proprietary content management and billing integration system called “Sphere”. MIA enables experiences on connected devices by enabling the delivery of content and applications to multiple devices, across any network, in any format. The Sphere platform enables carriers, media companies and brands to work together.

RISK FACTORS

 

We have included discussions of cautionary factors describing risks relating to our business and an investment in our securities in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended March 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information” for an explanation of how to get a copy of these reports. Additional risks related to our securities may also be described in a prospectus supplement and are set forth below. Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before purchasing our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors we describe in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement or in any report incorporated by reference into this prospectus or such prospectus supplement, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended March 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 or any Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement after the date of this prospectus. Although we discuss key risks in those risk factor descriptions, additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business. Our subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission may contain amended and updated discussions of significant risks. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our financial performance. Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Risks relating to our common stock

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the current price.

 

The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors that are beyond our control, including announcements of new products or services by our competitors. In addition, the market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including:

  

·quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses;

 

·developments in the financial markets, and the worldwide or regional economies;

 

·announcements of innovations or new products or services by us or our competitors;

 

·fluctuations in merchant credit card interest rates;

 

·significant sales of our common stock or other securities in the open market; and

 

·changes in accounting principles.

 

In the past, stockholders have often instituted securities class action litigation after periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. If a stockholder were to file any such class action suit against us, we would incur substantial legal fees and our management’s attention and resources would be diverted from operating our business to respond to the litigation, which could harm our business.

 

If the market price of our common stock declines, we may not be able to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market which may impair our financial flexibility and restrict our business significantly.

 

The stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices of equity securities of many companies that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating results of such companies. These broad market movements may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. Our common stock is presently listed on Nasdaq. Although we are not currently in jeopardy of delisting, we cannot assure you that we will meet the criteria for continued listing and our common stock could become delisted. Any such delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the loss of confidence in our financial stability by suppliers, customers and employees. If our common stock were to be delisted from Nasdaq, we may face a lengthy process to re-list the common stock, if we are able to re-list the common stock at all, and the liquidity that Nasdaq provides will no longer be available to investors.

 

8
 

 

The sale of securities by us in any equity or debt financing, or the issuance of new shares related to an acquisition, could result in dilution to our existing stockholders and have a material adverse effect on our earnings.

 

Any sale or issuance of common stock by us in a future offering or acquisition could result in dilution to the existing stockholders as a direct result of our issuance of additional shares of our capital stock. In addition, our business strategy may include expansion through internal growth by acquiring complementary businesses, acquiring or licensing additional brands, or establishing strategic relationships with targeted customers and suppliers. In order to do so, or to finance the cost of our other activities, we may issue additional equity securities that could dilute our stockholders’ stock ownership. We may also assume additional debt and incur impairment losses related to goodwill and other tangible assets if we acquire another company, and this could negatively impact our earnings and results of operations.

 

We may need to raise additional capital to grow our business, and we may not be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.

 

The operation of our business and our efforts to grow our business will further require significant cash outlays and commitments. If our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments balances and any cash generated from operations are not sufficient to meet our cash requirements, we will need to seek additional capital, potentially through debt or equity financings, to fund our growth. We may not be able to raise needed cash on terms acceptable to us or at all. Financings, if available, may be on terms that are dilutive or potentially dilutive to our stockholders, and the prices at which new investors would be willing to purchase our securities may be lower than the fair market value of our common stock. The holders of new securities may also receive rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. If new sources of financing are required but are insufficient or unavailable, we would be required to modify our growth and operating plans to the extent of available funding, which would harm our ability to grow our business.

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they downgrade their recommendations regarding our common stock, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about our business or us. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our common stock, our common stock price would likely decline. If analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our common stock price or trading volume to decline.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends.

 

We have never paid cash or other dividends on our common stock. Payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, our capital requirements and financial condition, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors. However, the earliest our Board of Directors would likely consider a dividend is if we begin to generate excess cash flow.

 

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders can exert significant influence over us and may make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

 

Our officers, directors and principal stockholders (greater than 5% stockholders) collectively beneficially own approximately 51.8% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, this group will be able to affect the outcome of, or exert significant influence over, all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders, and, accordingly, this group could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

 

9
 

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we might not be able to report our financial results accurately or prevent fraud; in that case, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which could negatively impact the price of our stock.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and prevent fraud. In addition, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires us to evaluate and report on our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of strengthening and testing our system of internal controls. The process of implementing our internal controls and complying with Section 404 is expensive and time consuming and requires significant attention of management. We cannot be certain that these measures will ensure that we implement and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Even if we conclude that our internal control over financial reporting provides reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. We currently have material weaknesses, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended March 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. If we discover an additional material weakness in our internal control, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce the market’s confidence in our financial statements and harm our stock price. In addition, if we fail to comply with the applicable portions of Section 404, we could be subject to a variety of administrative sanctions, including ineligibility for short form resale registration, action by the SEC, and the inability of registered broker-dealers to make a market in our common stock, which could further reduce our stock price and harm our business.

 

Maintaining and improving our financial controls and the requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified members for our Board of Directors.

 

As a public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The requirements of these rules and regulations has resulted in an increase in our legal, accounting and financial compliance costs, may make some activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly and may place undue strain on our personnel, systems and resources.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. This can be difficult to do. For example, we depend on the reports of wireless carriers for information regarding the amount of sales of our products and services and to determine the amount of royalties we owe branded content licensors and the amount of our revenues. These reports may not be timely, and in the past they have contained, and in the future they may contain, errors.

 

In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, we expend significant resources and provide significant management oversight. We have a substantial effort ahead of us to implement appropriate processes, document our system of internal control over relevant processes, assess their design, remediate any deficiencies identified and test their operation. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. These efforts will also involve substantial accounting-related costs.

 

 The Sarbanes-Oxley Act makes it more difficult and more expensive for us to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be required in the future to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to maintain coverage. If we are unable to maintain adequate directors’ and officers’ insurance, our ability to recruit and retain qualified directors, and officers will be significantly curtailed.

 

10
 

 

The ownership interest of our current stockholders will be substantially diluted if our outstanding securities convertible and/or exercisable into shares of our common stock are converted and/or exercised.

 

As of August 26, 2013, we had an aggregate of warrants to purchase approximately 4,209,383 shares of our common stock. To the extent our outstanding securities convertible and/or exercisable into shares of our common stock are converted and/or exercised, additional shares of our common stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to our stockholders and increase the number of shares of common stock eligible for resale into the public market. Sales of such shares of common stock could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Shares eligible for future sale

 

As of August 26, 2013, 20,150,965 total outstanding shares and 4,209,383 shares underlying warrants, including the shares of common stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders under this prospectus, are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly. Shares of restricted common stock are generally available for resale following a six month holding period. As restrictions on resale end, the market price could drop significantly if the holders of these restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock under this prospectus. Accordingly, we will not receive any part of the proceeds from the sale or our common stock under this prospectus.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

We are a party to various agreements for the sale of our securities to stockholders pursuant to which we have agreed to register, under the Securities Act of 1933, shares of our common stock or common stock underlying the exercise of warrants issued to stockholders as part of the consideration to purchase shares of our common stock or warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock. This prospectus is filed to comply with these registration obligations. The selling stockholders may sell all, a portion or none of their shares at any time.

 

Stock Ownership of Selling Stockholders

 

The following table sets forth the maximum number of shares of common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders and information known to us with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 26, 2013 held by the selling stockholders and their affiliates. We have prepared this table using information furnished to us by or on behalf of the selling stockholders.

 

We have determined the number and percentage of shares beneficially owned in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and this information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In determining the number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders and the percentage ownership of the selling stockholders, we included any shares as to which the selling stockholders has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Under the rules of the SEC more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities. Percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 30,210,276 shares of common stock outstanding and 20,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series A convertible preferred stock as of August 26, 2013.

Certain Relationships and Transactions

 

We are registering 357,143 shares of common stock on behalf of Windsor Media Inc., a selling stockholder. Jeffrey Karish, the President of Windsor Media, Inc., is a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the shares covered by this prospectus to permit the selling stockholders to sell shares directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the shares offered by this prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the shares will be the purchase price of the shares less any discounts and commissions. Each selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of shares to be made directly or through agents.

 

1,011,163 of the shares being registered are subject to contractual lock-up agreements with us restricting sales by the holder until April 13, 2014 and 187,500 of the shares are subject to contractual lock-up agreements with us restricting sales by the holder until September 12, 2013.  The Company has the right to waive the lock-ups but has no plan on doing so.  The lock-up agreements generally restrict sales, transfers, short sales, grants of options, hedging or pledging of the shares.

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the shares offered by this prospectus:

 

14
 

 

to or through underwriters or broker-dealers;

 

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;

 

underwriters or 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; and

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

In addition, the selling stockholders may sell securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

·at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

·at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

·at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

·at negotiated prices.

 

Based upon various agreements that we have entered into with the selling stockholders, we may or may not have provided the selling stockholders with various rights to require us to facilitate their sales, and we may be required to take specific actions on behalf of such stockholders such as the filing of prospectus supplements or entering into underwriting agreements. However, for the avoidance of doubt, any obligation of the Company will in call cases be limited to the contractual obligations set forth in each specific agreement.

 

Offers to purchase our common stock may be solicited by agents designated by the selling stockholders from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be named, and any commissions payable by us and/or the selling stockholders to the agent will be described, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, of the securities so offered and sold.

 

The selling stockholders may transfer their shares of common stock in ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including directly by gift, distribution, or other transfer. The selling stockholders may also sell any shares of common stock that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144.

 

If the selling stockholders offer and sell our securities through an underwriter or underwriters, we and/or the selling stockholders will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters. The names of the specific managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriters, and the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers, which may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions, if any, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, which, along with this prospectus, will be used by the underwriters to make re-sales of our securities. If underwriters are used in the sale of any of our securities in connection with this prospectus, those securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at fixed public offering prices or at varying prices determined by the underwriters and us and/or the selling stockholders at the time of sale. Our securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or directly by one or more underwriters. If any underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of our securities, unless otherwise indicated in a related prospectus supplement, the underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters are subject to some conditions precedent and that with respect to a sale of our securities the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if any are purchased.

 

15
 

 

If any underwriters are involved in the offer and sale of our securities, they will be permitted to engage in transactions that maintain or otherwise affect the price of our stock. These transactions may include over-allotment transactions, purchase to cover short positions created by an underwriter in connection with the offering and the imposition of penalty bids. If an underwriter creates a short position in the securities in connection with the offering, i.e., if it sells more securities than set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriter may reduce that short position by purchasing securities in the open market. In general, purchases of stock to reduce a short position could cause the price of the stock to be higher than it might be in the absence of such purchases. As noted above, underwriters may also choose to impose penalty bids on other underwriters and/or selling group members. This means that if underwriters purchase securities on the open market to reduce their short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from those underwriters and/or selling group members who sold such securities as part of the offering.

 

If the selling stockholders offer and sell our securities through a dealer, the selling stockholders or an underwriter will sell our securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell our securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. Any such dealer may be deemed to be an underwriter, as such term is defined in the Securities Act, of our securities so offered and sold. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The selling stockholders may solicit offers to purchase our securities directly and the selling stockholders may sell our securities directly to institutional or other investors, who may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any re-sales of those securities. The terms of these sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

We and/or the selling stockholders may enter into agreements with agents, underwriters and dealers under which we may agree to indemnify the agents, underwriters and dealers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make with respect to these liabilities. The terms and conditions of this indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, the selling stockholders or any of our or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

The selling stockholders may authorize our respective agents or underwriters to solicit offers to purchase our securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. The terms of these delayed delivery contracts, including when payment for and delivery of our securities sold will be made under the contracts and any conditions to each party’s performance set forth in the contracts, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The compensation received by underwriters or agents soliciting purchases of our securities under delayed delivery contracts will also be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any profit they realize on the resale of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither we nor any selling stockholder can presently estimate the amount of any such compensation.

 

From time to time, the selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of our shares of common stock owned by them. If the selling stockholders default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such common stock from time to time by this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer, distribute or donate our common stock owned by them in other circumstances. The number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by selling stockholders will decrease as and when the selling stockholders transfer, distribute or donate their shares of our common stock or default in performing obligations secured by their shares of our common stock. The plan of distribution for the securities offered and sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, distributees, donees, pledgees, other secured parties or other successors in interest will be the selling stockholders for purposes of this prospectus.

 

16
 

 

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the NASDAQ Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, and before the commencement of offers or sales of the common stock. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.

ITEM 15.    INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the Delaware Law, provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation — a “derivative action”), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. Under Section 145, a corporation shall indemnify an agent of the corporation for expenses actually and reasonably incurred if and to the extent such person was successful on the merits in a proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware Law provides that they are not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s charter, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholders vote, agreement or otherwise. The limitation of liability contained in our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and the indemnification provision included in our bylaws, as amended, are consistent with Delaware Law Sections 102(b)(7) and 145. We have purchased directors and officers liability insurance.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware Law authorizes court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933. Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws, as amended, provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware Law. In addition, we enter into indemnification agreements with our officers and directors in the ordinary course.

 

The underwriting agreement(s) that we may enter into in connection with the securities being offered under this registration statement may provide for indemnification by any underwriters used by us, our directors, our officers who sign the registration statement and our controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

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% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this Section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

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

 

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

 

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

 

21
 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

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

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and

 

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

 

(6) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

(8) The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that:

 

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
