In a concurrent private placement, we are selling to the purchasers of shares of our common stock in this offering, warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the shares issued to such purchasers pursuant to this offering (the “Warrants”), at an exercise price per share of $1.375. The Warrants will be exercisable six (6) months from the date of issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five (5) years from the initial exercise date.

The aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates is approximately $5,601,276, based on 4,260,041 shares of common stock outstanding, of which 4,149,094 shares are held by non-affiliates, and a per share value of $1.35, based on the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on April 24, 2019. During the 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement is a part, in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12 month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. We urge you to consider carefully the risks described below, and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision, including those risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2019, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports that we subsequently file with the SEC. Additional risks, including those that relate to any particular securities we offer, may be included in a future prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus that we authorize from time to time, or that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus in connection with this offering. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future. Please read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information.”

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and our stockholders will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. See “Use of Proceeds” on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement for a description of our proposed use of proceeds from this offering.

 

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

 

The offering price per share of our common stock being offered is substantially lower than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock. As a result, the investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering will incur immediate dilution of $0.87 per share, after giving effect to the sale of an aggregate of 847,750 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $1.10 per share, after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and using our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2018. See “Dilution” on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in this offering.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and currently do not plan to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our future earnings, financial condition and such other business and economic factors as our management may consider relevant. Accordingly, if you purchase shares of our common stock, realization of a gain on your investment will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends in the foreseeable future should not purchase our common stock.

 

Our financial status raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and we may require additional debt or equity financing, which may otherwise not be available on reasonable terms or at all.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents were $1,368,395 at December 31, 2018, compared with $4,900,857 at December 31, 2017. If we are not successful with our continued efforts to increase revenue, we could experience a shortfall in cash over the next twelve (12) months. If there is a shortfall, we may be forced to reduce operating expenses, among other steps, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our operations going forward.

Table of Contents 

 

We may seek to obtain debt or additional equity financing to meet any cash shortfalls. The type, timing and terms of any financing we may select will depend on, among other things, our cash needs, the availability of other financing sources and prevailing conditions in the financial markets. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funds if needed and that, if such funds are available, the terms or conditions would be acceptable to us. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, we may need to reduce our operations by, for example, selling certain assets, in order for us to ensure enough liquidity to sustain our operations. Future financings through equity offerings by us will be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to new investors than our current investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities. We may also issue incentive awards under employee equity incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue in the future such as convertible notes and warrants, which would adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by factors, including the condition of the economy and capital markets, both generally and specifically in our industry, and the fact that we are not profitable, which could impact the availability or cost of future financing. If we incur debt, we will likely be subject to restrictive covenants that significantly limit our operating flexibility and require us to encumber our assets. If we fail to raise sufficient funds and continue to incur losses, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of strategic opportunities, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures will be significantly limited. Any of the above limitations could force us to significantly curtail or cease our operations, and you could lose all of your investment in our common stock. These circumstances have, in the past, raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and continued cash losses may risk our status as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Some provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws may deter takeover attempts, which may inhibit a takeover that stockholders consider favorable and limit the opportunity of our stockholders to sell their shares at a favorable price.

 

Certain provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and our Amended and Restated Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including proposals that are priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, such negotiation could result in an improvement of the terms of such proposals.

 

A substantial number of shares of our common stock may be sold in this offering, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

In this offering we are selling 847,750 shares of common stock, which represents approximately 19.99% of our outstanding common stock as of April 24, 2019. In addition, the investors in this offering will receive, in the concurrent private placement, unregistered Warrants to purchase up to 847,750 shares of our common stock. This sale and any future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of our common stock or the availability of those shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, and the other documents that we incorporate by reference, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management or other financial items are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words.

 

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this prospectus supplement, particularly as set forth and incorporated by reference in the “Risk Factors” section above, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures, collaborations or investments we may make. These statements are subject to business and economic risk and reflect management’s current expectations, and involve subjects that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required by law. We advise you, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our future annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K we file with or furnish to the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement, the date of the accompanying prospectus, or the date of any document incorporated by reference, as applicable.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We anticipate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting placement agent fees and payment of offering expenses, will be approximately $692,248. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, engaging in acquisitions or other business combinations or investments, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any specific purpose or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds from this offering.

 

We will only receive additional proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants issuable in connection with the private placement if the Warrants are exercised and the holders of such Warrants pay the exercise price in cash upon such exercise and do not utilize the cashless exercise provision of the Warrants.

 

DILUTION

 

If you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing the net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock. Dilution represents the difference between the portion of the amount per share paid by purchasers of shares in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after giving effect to this offering. Our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2018 was approximately $473,965, or $0.11 per share.

 

After giving effect to the sale of our common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus in the aggregate amount of 847,750 shares at an offering price of $1.10 per share, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of December 31, 2018 would have been $1,166,213, or $0.23 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.12 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $0.87 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

 

Offering price per share       $1.10 
Net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2018  $0.11      
Increase in net tangible value per share attributable to new investors  $0.12      
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2018, after giving effect to this offering       $0.23 
Dilution per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering       $0.87 

 

Dilution per share to investors purchasing our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the price per share to be paid for the shares sold by us in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering.

 

The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 4,260,041 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 24, 2019 and excludes, as of that date:

 

847,750 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants offered in the concurrent private placement;

 

84,775 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants issuable to the placement agent in this offering; and

 

1,410,060 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of options and RSUs under our SG Blocks, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan.

 

Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to the closing of this offering, the dilution per share to new investors may be more than that indicated above in the event that the actual number of shares sold, if any, is less than the maximum number of shares of our common stock we are offering.

 

The above illustration of dilution per share to investors participating in this offering assumes no exercise of outstanding options to purchase our common stock or warrants to purchase shares of our common stock that will be outstanding after this offering. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants that will be outstanding after this offering having an exercise price less than the offering price will increase dilution to new investors.

 

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.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. We expect to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. Any future determination to pay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other factors, our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, any restrictions imposed by applicable law and any other factors our board of directors deem relevant.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Pursuant to a placement agent agreement, dated April 25, 2019, we have engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC, which we refer to as the “placement agent,” to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering of our shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Under the terms of the placement agent agreement, the placement agent has agreed to be our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of our shares of common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the placement agent and prospective investors. The placement agent agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the placement agent to purchase any of our shares of common stock or warrants and the placement agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the placement agent agreement. Further, the placement agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. The placement agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with the offering.

 

We will enter into a securities purchase agreements directly with investors in connection with this offering, and we will only sell to investors who have entered into a securities purchase agreement.

 

We expect to deliver the shares of our common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement on or about April 29, 2019.

 

The placement agent and an affiliate of the placement agent have purchased an aggregate of $466,262.50 of shares for their accounts at the public offering price in this offering.

 

We have agreed to pay the placement agent a total cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us from the sale of securities at the closing of this offering. We have also agreed to reimburse the placement agent at closing for expenses incurred by it in connection with the offering of $50,000. In addition, we have granted a right of first refusal to the placement agent to act as lead underwriter or exclusive placement agent in connection with any public or private offerings of our securities for a period of six months following the termination of our engagement of the placement agent.

 

In addition, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 10.0% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in this offering, which placement agent warrants shall be issued in two series of warrants (50% of the placement agent warrants in each series) and the second series of placement agent warrants shall vest ratably upon the exercise of the first series of placement agent warrants. The placement agent warrants will have substantially the same terms as the warrants issued to the investors in this offering, except that the exercise price will be $1.375 per share, or 125% of the public offering price per share, and the termination date of the placement agent warrants shall be April 24, 2024. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the placement agent warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the placement agent warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering, except the transfer of any security: (i) by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization; (ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period; (iii) if the aggregate amount of our securities held by the placement agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered; (iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund and the participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or (v) the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period. The placement agent warrants and the shares issuable thereunder are not registered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.

 

We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this offering will be approximately $125,000, which amount excludes the placement agent’s fees and expenses. The following table shows the per share and total cash placement agent’s fees we will pay to the placement agent in connection with the sale of the shares of our common stock offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, assuming the purchase of all of the shares offered hereby.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF WARRANTS

 

Concurrently with the closing of the sale of shares of common stock in this offering, we also expect to issue and sell to the investors, warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of our common stock equal to 100% of the shares issued to such purchasers pursuant to this offering, at an exercise price per share of $1.375. Roth Capital Partners, LLC is also acting as a placement agent for the private placement transaction described herein.

 

Each Warrant shall be exercisable six (6) months from the date of issuance and have a term of exercise equal to five (5) years from the initial exercise date. In accordance with the terms of the Warrants, a holder of Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group with the holder or any of the holder’s affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants. A holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%, provided, however, that any increase in the beneficial ownership limitation shall not be effective until 61 days following notice of such change to the Company.

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the Warrants), the holder has the right to receive, upon any subsequent exercise of the Warrants, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of the fundamental transaction, at the option of the holder, the number of shares of common stock of the successor entity and any additional consideration receivable as a result of such fundamental transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which such Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the fundamental transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a fundamental transaction, we or any successor entity shall, at the holder’s option, purchase the holder’s Warrants for an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Warrants), provided that, if the fundamental transaction is not within our control, including not approved by our Board of Directors, a holder shall only be entitled to receive the same type or form of consideration at the Black Scholes Value of the unexercised portion of the Warrants, that is being offered and paid to the holders of our common stock in connection with the fundamental transaction.

 

Such securities will be issued and sold without registration under the Securities Act, or state securities laws, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws. Accordingly, the investor may exercise those warrants and sell the underlying shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

Risk Factors

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before purchasing our securities, you should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and forward-looking statements described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, and each subsequently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as all of the information in this prospectus and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any free writing prospectus. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the value of our securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. In addition, our past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results in the future.  See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” below.

Table of Contents 

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

The SEC encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This prospectus contains such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this prospectus, and they may also be made a part of this prospectus by reference to other documents filed with the SEC, which is known as “incorporation by reference.”

 

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular objective, projection, estimate or prediction is realized. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: general economic and financial conditions; our ability to generate income, effectively manage our growth and realize our backlog; competition in the markets in which we operate; the fluctuations in prices of the products we procure or distribute; availability of raw materials; the consolidation of our industry; our ability to adapt our products and services to industry standards and consumer preferences; our ability to expand into new geographic markets; product shortages and potential loss of relationships with key suppliers or subcontractors; the seasonality of the commercial and residential construction markets; the loss or potential loss of any significant customers; exposure to product liability and various other claims and litigation; our ability to attract and retain key employees; the credit risk from our customers; our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all, or to obtain additional capital in other ways; an impairment of our goodwill; the impact of federal, state and local regulations, including changes to export laws and tax regulations; the cost of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and other local building regulations; a disruption or breach in our information technology systems; natural or man-made disruptions to our facilities and project sites; our ability to comply with the requirements of being a public company, including Nasdaq Capital Market listing requirements; fluctuations in the price of our common stock, including decreases in price due to sales of significant amounts of stock; and other factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this prospectus, as well as in our other filings with the SEC. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are subject to business and economic risk and reflect management’s current expectations, and involve subjects that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict.

 

In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus or the date of the document incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The following summary description of our capital stock is based on the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and on the provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), and is qualified entirely by reference to the applicable provisions of the DGCL, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws. For information on how to obtain copies of such documents, please refer to the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, we are authorized by our Certificate of Incorporation to issue an aggregate of (i) 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and (ii) 5,405,010 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, there were 4,260,041 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and zero shares of preferred stock outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on each matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Our directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at our annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Subject to the prior rights of any class or series of preferred stock which may from time to time be outstanding, if any, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors, out of funds legally available for that purpose and, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities and payment of accrued dividends and liquidation preferences on the preferred stock, if any. We have not paid any dividends on our common stock and none are contemplated in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that all earnings that may be generated from our operations will be used to finance our growth.

 

Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription or redemption rights pertaining to the common stock and have no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities. The absence of preemptive rights could result in a dilution of the interest of the existing stockholders should additional shares of common stock be issued. In addition, the rights of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. See “Risk Factors” for a further description of risks related to the common stock.

 

All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Our common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SGBX.”

 

Preferred Stock

 

No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 5,405,010 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, and to fix for each series voting rights, if any, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as provided in a resolution or resolutions adopted by our Board of Directors. Prior to the issuance of shares of each series, our Board of Directors is required by the DGCL and our Certificate of Incorporation to adopt resolutions and file a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The certificate of designation fixes for each class or series the designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, which includes one or more of the following:

 

the number of shares constituting each class or series;

 

voting rights;

Table of Contents 

 

rights and terms, including prices, of redemption, including sinking fund provisions;

 

dividend rights and rates;

 

dissolution;

 

terms concerning the distribution of assets;

 

conversion or exchange terms;

 

preemption rights;

 

any restrictions on repurchase or redemption of the shares by the Company; and

 

liquidation preferences.

 

Satisfaction of any dividend preferences of outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of dividends, if any, on the common stock. Also, holders of the preferred stock would normally be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of common stock. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of the Company’s securities or the removal of incumbent management. The Board of Directors, without stockholder approval, may issue preferred stock with voting and conversion rights, which could adversely affect the holders of common stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Certain provisions of Delaware law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including proposals that are priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, such negotiation could result in an improvement of the terms of such proposals.

 

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws include provisions that authorize our Board of Directors, without any action by our stockholders, to designate and issue shares in such classes or series, including classes or series of preferred stock, as it deems appropriate and to establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our authorized capital consists of 305,405,010 shares of capital stock, of which 300,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 5,405,010 shares are designated as preferred stock.

 

The rights of holders of preferred stock and other classes of common stock that may be issued may be superior to the rights granted to the holders of the existing classes of common stock. Further, the ability of the Board of Directors to designate and issue such designated shares could impede or deter an unsolicited tender offer or takeover proposal regarding the Company and the issuance of additional shares having preferential rights could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of holders of common stock. Issuance of preferred stock, which may be accomplished through a public offering or a private placement, may dilute the voting power of holders of our common stock, such as by issuing preferred stock with superior voting rights, and may render the removal of current management more difficult, even if such removal may be in the stockholders’ best interests. Any such issuance of preferred stock could prevent the holders of common stock from realizing a premium on their shares. See “Description of Capital Stock – Preferred Stock.”

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

 

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”) regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:

 

prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

 

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

 

at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset, stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of Section 203 to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our Board of Directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 may discourage business combinations or other attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities we offer thereunder may differ from the terms we describe below.

 

The debt securities will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”) between us and a trustee named in the prospectus supplement (the “Trustee”). We may issue debt securities either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and, unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our direct, unsecured obligations and may be issued in one or more series.

 

The following summary of selected provisions of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, which provisions are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should review the form of Indenture, which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The terms of the debt securities include those stated under the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). Capitalized terms used in the summary and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the Indenture.

 

General

 

The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities we may issue, and we may issue debt securities up to an aggregate principal amount as we may authorize from time to time. The debt securities will be our unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other  unsecured and unsubordinated debt from time to time outstanding. Our secured debt, if any, will be effectively senior to the debt securities to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no debt securities issued and outstanding. The debt securities will be exclusively our obligations and not of our subsidiaries, and, therefore, the debt securities will be structurally subordinate to the debt and liabilities of our subsidiaries. The prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any debt securities being offered, including:

 

the title;

 

any limit upon the aggregate principal amount;

 

the date or dates on which the principal is payable;

 

the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) at which the debt securities shall bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate shall be determined;

 

the date or dates from which interest shall accrue;

 

the date or dates on which interest shall be payable;

 

the record dates for the determination of holders to whom interest is payable;

 

the right, if any, to extend the interest payment periods and the duration of such extension;

 

the place or places where the principal and any interest shall be payable;

 

the price or prices at which, the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which debt securities may be redeemed;

 

our obligation, if any, to redeem, purchase or repay the debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or otherwise or at the option of a holder thereof;

 

if applicable, the price or prices at which and the period or periods within which and the terms and conditions upon which the debt securities shall be redeemed, purchased or repaid, in whole or in part;

 

9

Table of Contents 

 

if other than denominations of $2,000 and any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, the denominations in which the debt securities of the series shall be issuable;

 

the percentage of the principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued and, if other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of such principal amount which shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or provable in bankruptcy;

 

whether the debt securities are issuable as global securities and, in such case, the identity for the depositary;

 

any deletion from, modification of or addition to the Events of Default (as defined below) or covenants;

 

any provisions granting special rights to holders when a specified event occurs;

 

whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts on the debt securities held by a person who is not a U.S. person in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental charge withheld or deducted;

 

any special tax implications of the debt securities;

 

any trustees, authenticating or paying agents, transfer agents or registrars or any other agents with respect to the debt securities;

 

any guarantor or co-issuer;

 

any special interest premium or other premium;

 

whether the debt securities are convertible or exchangeable into common stock or other of our equity securities and the terms and conditions upon which such conversion or exchange shall be effected; and

 

the currency in which payments shall be made, if other than U.S. dollars.

 

Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions

 

The Indenture provides that we may not merge or consolidate with any other person or persons (whether or not affiliated with us), and we may not sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our property or assets to any other person or persons (whether or not affiliated with us), unless the following conditions are satisfied:

 

either (a) the transaction is a merger or consolidation, and we are the surviving entity; or (b) the successor person (or the person which acquires by sale, conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our property or assets) is organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes, by a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the Trustee, all of our obligations under the debt securities and the Indenture;

 

immediately after giving effect to the transaction and treating our obligations in connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been incurred as of the time of such transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture; and

 

an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel are delivered to the Trustee to the effect that the conditions set forth above have been satisfied.

 

The restrictions in the second and third bullets above shall not be applicable to:

 

our merger or consolidation with an affiliate of ours if our Board of Directors determines in good faith that the purpose of such transaction is principally to change our state of incorporation or convert our form of organization to another form; or

 

our merger with or into a single one of our direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries pursuant to Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the DGCL.

Table of Contents 

 

In the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or other conveyance, but not a lease, in a transaction in which there is a successor entity, the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for, us under the Indenture and, subject to the terms of the Indenture, we will be released from the obligation to pay principal and interest on the debt securities and all obligations under the Indenture.

 

For purposes of the foregoing, if we consummate a Holding Company Reorganization (as defined below), the newly formed holding company (New HoldCo, as defined below) shall be treated as the “successor person,” and the Holding Company Reorganization shall constitute the transfer to New HoldCo of substantially all of our assets; as such, we will be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture, and New HoldCo will be the sole obligor on the debt securities.

 

“Holding Company Reorganization” shall mean our merger with and into our newly formed wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary (“MergerCo”), all of the equity interests of which shall be held by our newly formed wholly-owned, direct subsidiary (“New HoldCo”), all of the equity interest of which shall be initially be held by us. Such merger shall be effected pursuant to Section 251(g) (or any successor provision) of the DGCL and shall not require the vote of our stockholders. Each of our shares of common stock shall be converted into a right to receive one share of New HoldCo common stock, with identical terms and rights as our common stock immediately prior to such conversion.

 

Reports to Holders

 

The Indenture provides that any document or report that we are required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be furnished to the Trustee within 15 days after we file such document or report with the SEC.

 

Events of Default

 

The following events are defined in the Indenture as “Events of Default” with respect to debt securities:

 

(1) the failure to pay interest on any debt securities when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a period of 60 days;

 

(2) the failure to pay the principal (or premium, if any) of any debt securities, when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise;

 

(3) a default in the performance, or breach, of our obligations under the “Limitation on Mergers and Other Transactions” covenant described above;

 

(4) a default in the observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture which default continues for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the Trustee or the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class;

 

(5) (a) a failure to make any payment at maturity on any of our Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to any of our Subsidiaries) outstanding in an amount in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time and continuance of such failure to pay after any applicable grace period, or (b) a default on any of our Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to any of our Subsidiaries), which default results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time, without such Indebtedness having been discharged or the acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of clause (a) or (b) above; provided, however, that if any failure, default or acceleration referred to in clauses (a) or (b) ceases or is cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, then the Event of Default under the Indenture will be deemed cured; or

 

(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency affecting us or any of our Significant Subsidiaries.

 

11

Table of Contents 

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above), shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all such debt securities to be due and payable by notice in writing to us and the Trustee specifying the respective Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration”, and the same shall become immediately due and payable.

 

If an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all debt securities shall automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture provides that, at any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to one or more series of debt securities as described above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of each series of debt securities affected, voting together as a single class, may rescind and cancel such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

 

(1) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree;

 

(2) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration;

 

(3) to the extent the payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest and overdue principal, which has become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, has been paid;

 

(4) we have paid the Trustee its reasonable compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances; and

 

(5) in the event of the cure or waiver of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (6) of the description of Events of Default above, the Trustee shall have received an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.

 

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of each series affected, voting together as a single class, may waive any existing default or Event of Default under the Indenture, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any debt securities of a series.

 

The Holders may not enforce the Indenture except as provided in the Indenture and under the TIA. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders, unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity. Subject to all provisions of the Indenture and applicable law, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of debt securities affected that is then outstanding, voting together as a single class, will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. Nothing in the Indenture shall impair the right of a Holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on or with respect to the debt securities.

 

We will be required to provide a certificate to the Trustee, from our principal executive, financial or accounting officer or our treasurer, promptly upon any such officer obtaining knowledge of any default or Event of Default (provided that such officers shall provide such certification at least annually whether or not they know of any default or Event of Default) that has occurred and, if applicable, describe such default or Event of Default and the status thereof.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees, Incorporator and Stockholders

 

No director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, stockholder or affiliate of us or any of our Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall have any liability for any of our or our Subsidiaries’ obligations under the debt securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the debt securities, by accepting such security, waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the debt securities.

 

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

 

We may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding debt securities of a series (“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that we shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the outstanding debt securities of a series, except for:

 

(1) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities when such payments are due;

 

(2) our obligations with respect to the debt securities concerning issuing temporary debt securities, registration of debt securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and the maintenance of an office or agency for payments;

 

(3) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee and our obligations in connection therewith; and

 

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

 

In addition, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and, thereafter, any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a default or Event of Default with respect to the applicable series of debt securities. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization and insolvency events) described under “—Events of Default” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities.

 

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a series:

 

(1) we must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. government obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be;

 

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, as a result of an Internal Revenue Service ruling or a change in applicable federal income tax law, to the effect that the Holders of the applicable debt securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

 

13

Table of Contents 

 

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, we must deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

 

(4) no default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the applicable debt securities then-outstanding on the date of such deposit (other than a default or an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowings);

 

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Indenture (other than an Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the grant of any lien securing such borrowings) or any other material agreement or instrument to which we or any of our Subsidiaries is a party or by which we or any our Subsidiaries is bound;

 

(6) we must deliver to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with; and

 

(7) certain other customary conditions precedent are satisfied.

 

Satisfaction and Discharge

 

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights or registration of transfer or exchange of the applicable series of the debt securities, as expressly provided for in the Indenture) as to all outstanding debt securities of a series, when:

 

(1) either:

 

(A) all of the applicable series of the debt securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed debt securities which have been replaced or paid and debt securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by us and thereafter repaid to us or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

 

(B) all of the applicable series of debt securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, or (2) will become due and payable within one year, or are to be called for redemption within one year, under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in our name and at our expense, and we have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the applicable series of debt securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the applicable series of debt securities to the date of deposit, together with irrevocable instructions from us directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at the applicable maturity or redemption date, as the case may be;

 

(2) we have paid all other sums then due and payable under the Indenture; and

 

(3) we have delivered to the Trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with.

Modification of the Indenture

 

From time to time, we and the Trustee, without the consent of the Holders, may amend the Indenture or the applicable series of debt securities for certain specified purposes, including:

 

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

 

(2) to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

 

(3) to comply with the provisions described under “Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance” in the Indenture in the case of a merger or consolidation;

 

(4) to maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA;

 

(5) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee;

 

(6) to conform the text of the Indenture or the terms of the debt securities to any provision of this “Description of Debt Securities” or other description of the debt securities contained in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offer and sale of such debt securities;

 

(7) to establish the form or terms of the debt securities of any series as permitted by the terms of the Indenture;

 

(8) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation, partnership, trust or limited liability company of our obligations under the Indenture, in each case in compliance with the provisions thereof; or

 

(9) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the debt securities (including to secure the debt securities, add guarantees with respect thereto, to add to our covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us) or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder of the debt securities in any material respect.

 

In formulating its opinion on such matters, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on such evidence as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, solely on an opinion of counsel. Other modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all then-outstanding debt securities affected by such modification or amendment, voting together as a single class, except that, without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, no amendment may:

 

(1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of debt securities of any series at maturity whose Holders must consent to an amendment;

 

(2) reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any debt securities;

 

(3) reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any debt securities, or change the date on which any debt securities may be subject to redemption or repurchase or reduce the redemption price therefor;

 

(4) make any debt securities payable in currency other than that stated in the debt securities or change the place of payment of the debt securities from that stated in the debt securities or in the Indenture;

 

(5) make any change in provisions of the Indenture protecting the right of each Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder’s debt securities on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of debt securities affected to waive defaults or Events of Default;

 

(6) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions; or

 

(7) make any change to or modify the ranking of the debt securities that would adversely affect the Holders.

The Trustee

 

The Indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee will exercise such rights and powers vested in it by the Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

 

The Indenture and the provisions of the TIA contain certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee, should it become a creditor of us, to obtain payments of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. Subject to the TIA, the Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest as described in the TIA, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

 

Unclaimed Funds

 

All funds deposited with the Trustee or any paying agent for the payment of principal, interest, premium or additional amounts in respect of the debt securities that remain unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such amount became due and payable will be repaid to us upon our request.

We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock or preferred stock or of debt securities in one or more series. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. While the terms summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants offered trust under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus and the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.

If applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;

Table of Contents 

 

We have warrants to purchase 86,250 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. The terms of the warrants that we offer may or may not have the same material terms as our currently outstanding warrants.

 

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable upon such exercise, including:

 

in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any; or

 

in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable upon exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After such time on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the warrant certificate and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.

 

Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. Additional information about the exercise of the warrants will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States applicable therein.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. 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. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued will contain additional important terms and provisions of the units being offered, and 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 following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any applicable prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, in addition to the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions, and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

 

Any applicable prospectus supplement will describe:

 

the material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units; and

 

any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus in any one or more of the following ways from time to time:

 

On any national securities exchange or quotation service on which our securities may be listed at the time of sale, including the Nasdaq Capital Market;

 

Directly to investors in privately negotiated transactions or through a specific bidding, auction, other process or otherwise;

 

To investors through agents, or directly to agents;

 

To or through brokers or dealers, including through ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers and through purchases by a broker-dealer as a principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

Through underwriters, broker-dealers, agents, in privately negotiated transactions or any combination of these methods;

 

To the public through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters;

 

To one or more underwriters acting alone for resale to investors or to the public;

 

Through short sales;

 

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

 

Through a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

By any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. 

 

The distribution of the securities may be effected 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 or sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices, as determined at the time of sale, or at prices determined as the applicable prospectus supplement specifies. The securities may be sold through a rights offering, forward contracts or similar arrangements. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties.

 

The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering and the method of distribution and will identify any firms acting as underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, including:

 

The name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

The purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us from the sale;

 

Any arrangements under which the underwriters have the option to purchase additional securities from us;

 

Any underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

Any public offering price;

Table of Contents 

 

In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and also may receive commissions from securities purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement information regarding any underwriting discounts or other compensation that we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the securities offering, and any discounts, concessions or commissions that underwriters allow to dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the securities distribution may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts and commissions they receive and any profit they realize on the resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

There is currently no market for any of the offered securities other than the common stock, which is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities.

 

In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. Underwriters may engage in over-allotment. If any underwriters create a short position in the securities in an offering in which they sell more securities than are set forth on the cover page of the applicable prospectus supplement, the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing the securities in the open market.

 

We may also sell the securities offered by this prospectus in “at the market offerings” within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of our common stock. In addition, we may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

Underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the offer of securities, or their affiliates or associates, may have engaged or engage in transactions with and perform services for, us or our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they may have received or receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses.

Thompson Hine LLP may also provide opinions regarding certain other matters.
