EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On March 25, 2021, the registrant filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-254718) (the “Prior Registration Statement”), which was subsequently declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2021.

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Prior Registration Statement is being filed pursuant to Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (i) to convert the Form S-1 into a registration statement on Form S-3 and update the Prior Registration Statement to include the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and certain other information in such Prior Registration Statement, and (ii) to update the section titled “Selling Securityholders” contained in the prospectus included herein to reflect, among other things, prior sales or dispositions of common stock and pre-merger warrants made by certain of the originally named selling stockholders.

 

No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of such Prior Registration Statement.

 

 

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where an offer or sale is not permitted.

 

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED APRIL 6, 2022

 

Preliminary PROSPECTUS

 

 

 

NUVVE HOLDING CORP. 

 

2,778,750 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (For Resale)

2,707,500 WARRANTS (For Resale)

1,353,750 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK (For Issuance)

 

This prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time to time by the selling securityholders identified in this prospectus (the “Selling Securityholders”) of (A) up to 2,778,750 shares of common stock, including (i) 1,425,000 shares originally issued in a private placement at the closing of the Business Combination described in this prospectus supplement, and (ii) up to 1,353,750 shares issuable upon the exercise of pre-merger warrants, and (B) up to 2,707,500 pre-merger warrants. We also are offering 1,353,750 shares of common stock for initial issuance upon exercise of the pre-merger warrants, solely to the extent the pre-merger warrants are publicly sold prior to their exercise.

 

We registered the securities for resale pursuant to the Selling Securityholders’ registration rights under certain agreements between us and the Selling Securityholders. Our registration of the securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants. The Selling Securityholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of their shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. We provide more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus, although we could receive up to an aggregate of approximately $15.6 million from the exercise of the pre-merger warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all the pre-merger warrants for cash.

 

Our common stock and pre-merger warrants are listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “NVVE” and “NVVEW,” respectively. On April 5, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $7.96 and the closing price of our pre-merger warrants was $0.85.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 7, to read about factors you should consider before buying our securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using the “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, the Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, sell the securities offered by them described in this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale by such Selling Securityholders of the securities offered by them described in this prospectus. This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of any pre-merger warrants. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock underlying the pre-merger warrants pursuant to this prospectus, except with respect to amounts received by us upon the exercise of the pre-merger warrants for cash.

 

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we or the Selling Securityholders may offer. You should read this prospectus together with the additional information described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference.”

 

You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We and the Selling Securityholders have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information and, if provided, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by us or the Selling Securityholders.

This prospectus does not contain all of the information included in the registration statement. For a more complete understanding of the offering of the securities, you should refer to the registration statement, including its exhibits.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves significant risks. Potential investors are urged to read and consider the risks and uncertainties relating to an investment in our company set forth below and those set forth in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including those set forth in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and those set forth in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ending after the end of the fiscal year covered by such annual report. Our business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity could be adversely affected by any of these risks. The risks and uncertainties we describe are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or operations. Any adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results could result in a decline in the value of our common stock and other securities and the loss of all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering

 

Sales of a substantial number of our securities in the public market could cause the price of our securities to fall.

 

We have 18,861,130 outstanding shares of common stock and 8,730,000 outstanding pre-merger warrants, a substantial number of which are eligible for resale in the public market. Although the shares of common stock issued in the Business Combination and the shares of common stock and pre-merger warrants held by the Newborn insiders had been subject to lock-up restrictions, the last of these restrictions lapsed as of March 19, 2022 and a substantial number of additional shares of common stock and pre-merger warrants became eligible for resale in the public market.

 

In addition, there are (i) 4,365,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-merger warrants, which have an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share, are currently exercisable and expire in March 2026, (ii) 347,875 shares and 316,250 pre-merger warrants issuable upon exercise of the unit purchase option granted to the underwriter of Newborn’s initial public offering, which have an exercise price of $11.50 per unit of 1 1/10 shares and one pre-merger warrant, are currently exercisable and expire on February 13, 2023, and 158,125 shares issuable upon exercise of such pre-merger warrants, (iii) 6,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise the Levo warrants, which warrants have exercise prices ranging from $10.00 per share to $40.00 per share and expire on May 17, 2031, (iv) 5,000,000 shares issuable upon exercise of the option embodied in the Levo SPA, which option has a purchase price of $50.00 per share and expires on November 17, 2028, (v) 3,064,538 shares issuable upon exercise of our outstanding stock options, which have a weighted average exercise price of approximately $8.76 per share and an average remaining life of approximately 7.88 years, and 353,817 shares issuable upon settlement of outstanding restricted stock units; and (vi) 1,333,558 shares authorized and available for future issuance under the 2020 Plan. To the extent such warrants or options are exercised, the earn-out shares are earned, or we grant additional stock options or other stock-based awards under the 2020 Plan, additional shares of common stock may be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our common stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants in the public market or the perception that these sales might occur could depress the market price of the common stock and/or pre-merger warrants and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales may have on the prevailing market price of its common stock and pre-merger warrants. 

 

Nuvve has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying dividends in the foreseeable future. 

 

Nuvve has never paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and we currently intend to retain any future earnings to fund the growth of its business. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors that the board may deem relevant. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be the sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

 

 

There is no guarantee that our warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

 

The exercise price for the pre-merger warrants is $11.50 per whole share, and the exercise prices for the Levo warrants range from $10.00 per share to $40.00 per share. There is no guarantee that our warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, our warrants may expire worthless.

 

The trading price of our securities is likely to be volatile, and you may not be able to sell our securities at or above the price you paid. 

 

We expect the trading price of our common stock and pre-merger warrants to be volatile and such securities could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

 

●

actual or anticipated fluctuations in operating results;

 

●

failure to meet or exceed financial estimates and projections of the investment community or that we provide to the public;

 

●

issuance of new or updated research or reports by securities analysts or changed recommendations for our stock or the transportation industry in general;

 

●

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, collaborations or capital commitments;

 

●

operating and share price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to us;

 

●

our focus on long-term goals over short-term results;

 

●

the timing and magnitude of our investments in the growth of it business;

 

●

actual or anticipated changes in laws and regulations affecting our business;

 

●

additions or departures of key management or other personnel;

 

●

disputes or other developments related to our intellectual property or other proprietary rights, including litigation;

 

●

our ability to market new and enhanced products and technologies on a timely basis;

 

●

sales of substantial amounts of the common stock by executive officers, directors or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur;

 

●

changes in our capital structure, including future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;

 

●

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the response of governments and businesses to the pandemic; and

 

●

general economic, political and market conditions.

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and Nasdaq in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may seriously affect the market price of our securities, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of its management’s attention and resources. 

 

If securities or industry analysts issue an adverse opinion regarding our common stock or do not publish research or reports about us, the price and trading volume of our securities could decline. 

 

The trading market for our common stock and pre-merger warrants depends in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about the company and its business. We do not control these analysts or the content and opinions included in their reports. Securities analysts may elect not to provide research coverage of our company and such lack of research coverage may adversely affect the market price of its common stock and pre-merger warrants. The price of our common stock and pre-merger warrants could also decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade their recommendations with respect to our common stock and pre-merger warrants, change their price targets, issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about us. If one or more equity research analysts cease coverage of Nuvve, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause the price of our securities to decline.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

All of the common stock and pre-merger warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock or pre-merger warrants by the Selling Securityholders. 

 

We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $15.6 million from the exercise of the pre-merger warrants, assuming the exercise in full of all of the pre-merger warrants for cash. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the pre-merger warrants for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the pre-merger warrants. There is no assurance that the holders of the pre-merger warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such pre-merger warrants. To the extent that the pre-merger warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the pre-merger warrants will decrease.

 

 

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

 

The shares of our common stock and pre-merger warrants being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders in the PIPE. For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares and pre-merger warrants in the PIPE, see “Background of the Offering” above. We registered the shares and pre-merger warrants issued in the PIPE in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares and pre-merger warrants for resale from time to time.

 

As a result of sales and other dispositions prior to March 31, 2022 by the holders of the shares and pre-merger warrants issued in the PIPE, the number of shares and pre-mergers offered by the Selling Stockholders as set forth in the table below is less than the number originally registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and set forth on the cover page to this prospectus. When we refer to the “Selling Securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, as well as the persons who were issued the shares and pre-merger warrants originally registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, but who previously sold or disposed of such shares and pre-merger warrants.

 

Except for the ownership of the shares and pre-merger warrants, and except for CVI Investments, Inc., who was the lender under the Bridge Loan, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of our common stock and pre-merger warrants by each of the Selling Stockholders as of March 31, 2022. The second and third columns list the number of shares (including shares underlying our pre-merger warrants) and pre-merger warrants beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on information provided to us regarding such Selling Stockholder’s ownership of the shares and pre-merger warrants as of March 31, 2022. The fourth and fifth columns list the shares of our common stock (including the shares underlying our pre-merger warrants) and pre-merger warrants being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders as of March 31, 2022. In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the Selling Stockholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of all of the shares of our common stock and pre-merger warrants issued to the Selling Stockholders in the PIPE and all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the pre-merger warrants issued in the PIPE. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares and pre-merger warrants in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” The sixth through ninth columns list the beneficial ownership of the Selling Stockholders after the offering, assuming the exercise of all of the pre-merger warrants and the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

 

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We registered the offer and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Securityholders of (A) up to 2,778,750 shares of common stock, including (i) 1,425,000 shares originally issued in a private placement at the closing of the Business Combination (as defined below), (ii) up to 1,353,750 shares issuable upon the exercise of the pre-merger warrants, and (B) up to 1,353,750 pre-merger warrants. We also registered the offer and sale by us of the 1,353,750 shares of common stock for initial issuance upon exercise of the pre-merger warrants, solely to the extent the pre-merger warrants are publicly sold prior to their exercise.

 

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market for such securities or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

●

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker dealer solicits Subscribers;

 

●

block trades in which the broker dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

●

purchases by a broker dealer as principal and resale by the broker dealer for its account;

 

●

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

●

privately negotiated transactions;

 

●

settlement of short sales;

 

●

in transactions through broker dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

●

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

 

●

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

●

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers dealers to participate in sales. Broker dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker dealer acts as agent for the Subscriber of securities, from the Subscriber) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, (ii) the date they may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, as determined by us; or (iii) the date that is two years from the Closing Date. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

 

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to shares and pre-merger warrants for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the shares and pre-merger warrants by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each Subscriber at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

 

A holder of pre-merger warrants may exercise its pre-merger warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, on or before the expiration date set forth therein by surrendering, at the office of the warrant agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the certificate evidencing such pre-merger warrant, with the form of election to purchase set forth thereon, properly completed and duly executed, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price and any and all applicable taxes due in connection with the exercise of a pre-merger warrant, subject to any applicable provisions relating to cashless exercises in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

 

Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

 

Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.

 

 

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and our bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL.

 

In addition, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, including the DGCL, against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We also intend to enter into indemnification agreements with our future directors.

 

Item 16. Exhibits

 

A list of the exhibits required by Item 601 of Regulation S-K to be filed as part of this registration statement is set forth in the Exhibit Index on page II-7.

 

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

Provided, however, that: Paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

(2)

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

 

 

(3)

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

 

(5)

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

 

(i)

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

 

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

  

(ii)

Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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