HAVZ, LLC, d/b/a/ Steam Wholesale operates manufacturing and/or distribution centers in Henderson, Nevada supporting our health and wellness products, including those products manufactured with hemp ingredients and our overall distribution operations. We have continued to manage these operations with a corporate focus on larger opportunities that have warranted management focus and investments for the future. 

 

Recent Developments

 

On May 8, 2023, the Company announced that the Company’s children’s toy brand, Tytan Tiles (“Tytan”), has signed a licensing agreement with The Walt Disney Company (“Disney”). The agreement covers key Disney brands such as Frozen, The Lion King, Toy Story, Cars, along with many others. Upexi will be developing and launching new products under the foregoing brands pursuant to this agreement. The products will be launched on Amazon, direct to consumers and into Upexi’s big box retail channels with initial launch planned for the 2023 holiday season.

 

On April 13, 2023, the Company announced the signing of a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire all the assets including working capital of a Texas-based wellness and nutrition brand specializing in the growing superfoods category (the “Acquired Company”) with approximately $15 million in trailing twelve month revenue for $2.5 million in a combination of cash, stock and an earn out. Under the terms of the LOI, and pending due diligence, Upexi will acquire 100% of the assets or stock of the Acquired Company, including all tangible and intangible assets, any existing contracts, customer and vendor relationships, trademarks, patents, and leases. The purchase price at closing will be $2.5 million with additional stock consideration to be earned based on adjusted EBITDA performance. Of this, $2 million will be paid in cash and $500,000 will be paid in Upexi stock upon the closing of the transaction, with additional stock consideration to be earned based on specific Adjusted EBITDA performance. The purchase price assumes that the Acquired Company does not hold long-term debt and that it will transfer $1 million of working capital at closing.

 

On April 12, 2023, the Company announced that the Company has acquired the remaining 45% interest in Cygnet Online LLC (“Cygnet”), an Amazon and eCommerce seller, with 1,200 active SKUs of branded OTC products. Upon closing, the acquisition will result in the Company’s full ownership of Cygnet’s expanding business and secure the Amazon reseller business expansion strategy for the future.

 

On February 22, 2023, the Company issued promissory notes to two individual accredited investors in the principal amounts of $2,150,000 (“Note A”), and $560,000 (“Note B,” and, together with Note A, the “Notes”).  Note A has a term of 21 months, provides for payment in kind interest and fees, payable on the date of issuance, in the amount of 134,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Note Shares”), and monthly payments of principal commencing December 22, 2023, with a final payment on the maturity date November 22, 2024.  Note B has a term of 21 months, provides for interest at the rate of 10% per annum, with monthly payments of interest for the initial 9 months, and thereafter monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity on November 22, 2024.

 

On April 18, 2023, the Company announced that it will eliminate its California Third Party Logistics (“3PL”) location, reduce its Nevada presence, and consolidate its Florida operations into a single location in Tampa. The Company is reducing these locations in order to optimize logistics in a central, highly-efficient, lower-cost, company-operated 3PL operation. Upexi estimates that it will achieve annual cost savings of approximately $1 to $1.5 million over the next six months as a result of this consolidation.

  

Certain Preliminary Financial Results

 

Our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, will not be available until after this offering is completed and consequently will not be available to you prior to investing in our common stock offered in this offering. Based upon preliminary and unaudited estimates and information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we expect to report that we had approximately $1.2 million of cash as of March 31, 2023. The unaudited, estimated results as of the three months ended March 31, 2023 are preliminary and were prepared by our management, based upon our estimates, a number of assumptions and currently available information. This preliminary financial information is the responsibility of management and has been prepared in good faith on a consistent basis with prior periods. This estimate of our cash as of March 31, 2023, is preliminary, has not been audited and is subject to change upon completion of our financial statement closing procedures, and as a result should not be regarded as a representation by us, our management, or the underwriters as to our actual cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of March 31, 2023. Additional information and disclosure would be required for a more complete understanding of our financial position and results of operations as of March 31, 2023. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed or performed any procedures with respect to this preliminary result and, accordingly, does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about it. This preliminary financial information should not be viewed as a substitute for full financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and reviewed by our auditors. See “Risk Factors” and “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

Corporate Information

 

We were organized as a corporation in the State of Nevada in September 2018 and we commenced operations in February 2018 as Grove, Inc.  On August 17, 2022, the Company changed its name from Grove, Inc. to Upexi, Inc. to better reflect the evolution of the business from a single focus to the overall product distribution of product brands owned by the Company and other select brands that align with our overall product distribution strategy. 

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 17129 US Hwy 19 N. Clearwater, FL and our telephone number is 701-353-5425. Our website address is www.upexi.com.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are eligible, and have elected, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation (to the extent applicable to a foreign private issuer).

 

We could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering. However, if our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more, or our non-convertible debt issued within a three year period exceeds $1 billion, or the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the last day of that fiscal year.

 

We are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and have a public float of less than $250 million or annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company,” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Risks Affecting Our Company

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and those described underRisk Factorsin the documents incorporated by reference herein, including in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, together with the other information included in this prospectus supplement and incorporated by reference herein from our filings with the SEC. If any of such risks or uncertainties occurs, our business, financial condition, and operating results could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business operations. As a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose all or a part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

 

The price of our common stock in this offering may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you may pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share. Based on the public offering price of $3.30 per share, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2022 would have been $8,143,211, or $0.40 per share, representing an immediate increase in the net tangible book value per share of $0.28 to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.90 in net tangible book value per share to investors purchasing common stock in this offering, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. To the extent outstanding stock options and warrants are exercised or outstanding convertible notes are converted, there will be further dilution to new investors.

 

If we sell additional shares of common stock in future financings, shareholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our share price may decline.

 

We may from time to time issue additional shares of common stock at a discount from the current market price of our common stock. As a result, our shareholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of common stock sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financing or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or common stock. If we issue shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable into shares of common stock, our shareholders would experience additional dilution and, as a result, our share price may decline.

 

We will have broad discretion in using the proceeds of this offering, and we may not effectively spend the proceeds.

 

We will use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including for acquisition of businesses. We have not allocated any specific portion of the net proceeds to any particular purpose, and our management will have the discretion to allocate the proceeds as it determines. We will have significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this offering, and we may not apply these proceeds effectively. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use our net proceeds from this offering.

 

Risks Relating to our Common Stock

 

An active trading market for our shares may not be sustained.

 

Although our shares are listed on Nasdaq, the market for our shares has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our shares may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to conduct new acquisitions by using our shares as consideration.

 

Our share price may be subject to substantial volatility, and shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

 

Our shares currently trade on Nasdaq. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our shares may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our shares trade may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

 

We are not currently eligible to file new registration statements on Form S-3 to register the offer and sale of securities, which may adversely affect our ability to raise future capital or complete acquisitions.

 

To allow us to timely respond to opportunities to raise capital, we may need to file various registration statements and not rely on exemptions from registration. Use of a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which would be the optimal form of the registration statement under most circumstances, requires, among other things, that an issuer has timely filed all of its reports under the Exchange Act for at least twelve months, subject only to exceptions for certain Form 8-K filings. We had untimely filed a disclosure required under certain parts of Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. As such, our currently effective Form S-3 will automatically become ineffective upon filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, though can remain effective until that date. We will not regain eligibility to file new Form S-3 until at least November 3, 2023 assuming we timely file certain periodic reports required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 subsequent to the date hereof and meet other eligibility requirements. There can be no assurance whether we will meet these requirements. While the Company continues to have access to capital markets, our ineligibility to file new Form S-3 means that it may be more difficult for us to effect public offering transactions and our range of available financing alternatives could be narrowed.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the closing of this offering.

 

As of December 31, 2022, our historical net tangible book value was $2,083,208, or $0.12 per share of common stock. Our historical net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of December 31, 2022.

 

After giving effect to the sale of 2,121,213 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $3.30, and after deducting fees, commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2022 would have been $8,143,211, or $0.40 per share of common stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.28 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $2.90 per share to investors participating in this offering. We determine dilution per share to investors participating in this offering by subtracting as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering from the assumed public offering price per share paid by investors participating in this offering.

The foregoing discussion and table do not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, which options have a per share exercise price less than the per share offering price to the public in this offering. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

 

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 18,094,748 shares of our common stock outstanding as of May 9, 2023, and excludes, as of that date, the following:

 

 

·

50,600 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $6.25 per share;

 

·

4,993,278 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.37 per share;

 

·

277,778 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock; and

 

·

1,157,651 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy, prospective products, product approvals, research and development costs, timing and likelihood of success, plans and objectives of management for future operations and future results of anticipated products, 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. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the evolving and highly competitive markets in which we operate; industry trends in the markets in which we compete, including the demand for and marketability of our products; our ability to raise additional capital to finance our activities; the future trading of our common stock; our ability to operate as a public company; our ability to protect our proprietary information; the evolution of legal and regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries impacting the industries in which we operate; general economic and business conditions; the volatility of our operating results and financial condition; our ability to attract or retain qualified senior management personnel; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, or otherwise. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein also contain estimates and other statistical data made by independent parties and by us relating to market size and growth and other data about our industry. This data involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the markets in which we operate are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein 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. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which we discuss in greater detail in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus. 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. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.

At this point in time, we have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes, have not identified any particular debt to be repaid, and do not have any current plans, arrangements, or intentions concerning specific acquisitions. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of net proceeds.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends to our stockholders in the foreseeable future. Moreover, any future indebtedness that we may incur could preclude us from paying dividends. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors. Investors should not purchase our common stock with the expectation of receiving cash dividends.

 

SECURITIES WE MAY OFFER

 

This prospectus contains summary descriptions of the securities we may offer from time to time. These summary descriptions are not meant to be complete descriptions of each security. The particular terms of any security will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Certain anti-takeover provisions of Nevada law could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition arguably could benefit our stockholders. We are governed by the provisions of NRS 78.378 to 78.3793 because we are incorporated in Nevada. Nevada’s “combinations with interested stockholders” statutes (NRS 78.411 through 78.444, inclusive) prohibit specified types of business “combinations” between certain Nevada corporations and any person deemed to be an “interested stockholder” for two years after such person first becomes an “interested stockholder” unless the corporation’s board of directors approves the combination (or the transaction by which such person becomes an “interested stockholder”) in advance, or unless the combination is approved by the board of directors and sixty percent of the corporation’s voting power not beneficially owned by the interested stockholder, its affiliates and associates. Furthermore, in the absence of prior approval certain restrictions may apply even after such two-year period. For purposes of these statutes, an “interested stockholder” is any person who is (1) the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the corporation, or (2) an affiliate or associate of the corporation and at any time within the two previous years was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of ten percent or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of the corporation. The definition of the term “combination” is sufficiently broad to cover most significant transactions between a corporation and an “interested stockholder.”

 

Nevada’s “acquisition of controlling interest” statutes, NRS 78.378 through 78.379, inclusive, contain provisions governing the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations. These “control share” laws provide generally that any person that acquires a “controlling interest” in certain Nevada corporations may be denied voting rights, unless a majority of the disinterested stockholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights. Absent such provision in our bylaws, these laws would apply to us as of a particular date if we were to have 200 or more stockholders of record (at least 100 of whom have addresses in Nevada appearing on our stock ledger at all times during the 90 days immediately preceding that date) and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation, unless our articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day after the acquisition of a controlling interest provide otherwise. These laws provide that a person acquires a “controlling interest” whenever a person acquires shares of a subject corporation that, but for the application of these provisions of the NRS, would enable that person to exercise (1) one fifth or more, but less than one third, (2) one third or more, but less than a majority or (3) a majority or more, of all of the voting power of the corporation in the election of directors. Once an acquirer crosses one of these thresholds, shares which it acquired in the transaction taking it over the threshold and within the 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person acquired or offered to acquire a controlling interest become “control shares” to which the voting restrictions described above apply.

 

Nevada law also provides that directors may resist a change or potential change in control if the directors determine that the change is opposed to, or not in the best interests of, the corporation. The existence of the foregoing provisions and other potential anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deter potential acquirers of our Company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

 

Limitations on Liability, Indemnification of Directors and Officers, and Insurance

 

In accordance with the NRS and pursuant to our bylaws, subject to certain conditions, the Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or another individual who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges and expenses, including any amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity. We shall advance monies to a director, officer or other individual for costs, charges and expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such a proceeding; provided that such individual shall repay the moneys if the individual does not fulfill the conditions described below or is not successful on the merits in their defense of the action or proceeding.

 

Indemnification is prohibited unless the individual:

 

 

·

Acted honestly and in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to our best interests;

 

 

 

 

·

In the case of a criminal or administration action or proceeding enforced by a monetary penalty, had reasonable grounds to believe the conduct was lawful; and

 

 

 

 

·

Was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may offer and sell, from time to time, units comprised of two or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination, which may or may not be separable from one another. If we issue units, they will be evidenced by unit agreements or unit certificates issued under one or more unit agreements, which will be contracts between us and the holders of the units or an agent for the holders of the units. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. The forms of unit agreements or unit certificates, as applicable, relating to the units will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the units and unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the unit agreements applicable to the units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

Whenever units are to be issued and sold pursuant to this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement relating to that offer and sale which will specify (in each case as applicable):

 

 

·

the title of the series of units;

 

 

 

 

·

identification and description of the separate securities comprising the units;

 

 

 

 

·

the price or prices at which the units will be issued;

 

 

 

 

·

the date, if any, on and after which the securities comprising the units will be separately transferable; and

 

 

 

 

·

any other terms of the units and their securities.

 

Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute 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.

 

We may also sell equity securities covered by this registration statement in an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such offering may be made into an existing trading market for such securities in transactions at other than a fixed price, either:

 

 

·

on or through the facilities of The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other securities exchange or quotation or trading service on which such securities may be listed, quoted or traded at the time of sale; and/or

 

 

 

 

·

to or through a market maker otherwise than on The Nasdaq Capital Market or such other securities exchanges or quotation or trading services.

 

Such at the market offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.

 

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

 

·

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;

 

 

 

 

·

the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

 

 

 

 

·

any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

 

 

 

·

any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;

 

 

 

 

·

any public offering price;

 

 

 

 

·

any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers; and

 

 

 

 

·

any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.

Table of Contents

 

We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities, and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

 

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to offerings pursuant to this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

All securities we offer, other than our shares of common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

 

Any underwriters or agents who are qualified market makers on The Nasdaq Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. 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. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

In compliance with guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Dickinson Wright PLLC will pass upon the validity of the securities offered by this prospectus, and any supplement thereto, unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents, by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.
