EXPLANATORY NOTE

On April 25, 2022 (the “RE2 Closing Date”), Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (f/k/a Rotor Acquisition Corp.) (unless specified otherwise, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “Sarcos”) completed the previously announced acquisition of RE2, Inc. (“RE2”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “RE2 Merger Agreement”) with Spiral Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos (“Spiral Merger Sub I”), and Spiral Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos (“Spiral Merger Sub II”), RE2, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“RE2”), and Draper Triangle Ventures III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the agent for and on behalf of the shareholders of RE2 under the RE2 Merger Agreement.  On the RE2 Closing Date, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Spiral Merger Sub I merged with and into RE2 (the “First Merger”), with RE2 surviving the First Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos.  Immediately following the First Merger, RE2 merged with and into Spiral Merger Sub II (the “Second Merger”), with Spiral Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos. At the effective time of the Second Merger, Spiral Merger Sub II was renamed RE2, LLC.

On May 13, 2022, we filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on Form S-1 (File No. 333-264952) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2022 to initially register the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees of 10,772,674 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issued pursuant to the terms of the RE2 Merger Agreement as part of the consideration paid to RE2 shareholders.

This post-effective amendment No. 1 to Form S-1 on Form S-3 (“Post-Effective Amendment No. 1”) is being filed to (i) convert the registration statement on Form S-1 into a registration statement on Form S-3 and (ii) update information regarding the selling securityholders.

No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1. All applicable registrations and filing fees were paid at the time of the filing of the Registration Statement.

Specifically, forward-looking statements may include statements relating to:

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this prospectus and our management’s current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties.  Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date, and, in any event, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include those factors described in the section of this prospectus titled “Risk Factors.”  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Our Risk Factors are not guarantees that no such conditions exist as of the date of this prospectus and should not be interpreted as an affirmative statement that such risks or conditions have not materialized, in whole or in part. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may also contain market data that we obtain from industry sources. These sources do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that our industry sources are reliable, we do not independently verify the information. The market data may include projections that are based on a number of other projections. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable and sound as of the date of this prospectus, actual results may differ from the projections.

You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and the documents incorporated by reference, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and the documents that we reference herein and therein by these cautionary statements.

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the resale by the selling securityholders from time to time of up to an aggregate of 10,290,810 shares of Common Stock.

The selling securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock set forth below pursuant to this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement. When we refer to the “selling securityholders” in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below and their permitted transferees who later come to hold any of the selling securityholders’ interest in the Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreements governing their respective registration rights, other than through a public sale.

The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the selling securityholders as of October 31, 2022. It sets forth the names of the selling securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling securityholders, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the selling securityholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of Common Stock that would be beneficially owned by the selling securityholders after the sale of the shares of Common Stock offered hereby assuming that the selling securityholders sell all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The percentage of beneficial ownership after the offered shares of Common Stock are sold is calculated based on 154,640,766 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2022.

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 the shares of Common Stock set forth below, subject to community property laws where applicable.

We cannot advise you as to whether the selling securityholders will in fact sell any or all of such Common Stock. In addition, the selling securityholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the Common Stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the selling securityholders will have sold all of the shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.

Selling securityholder information for each additional selling securityholder, if any, will be set forth by a prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such selling securityholder’s shares pursuant to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this prospectus, including the identity of each selling securityholder and the number of shares registered on its behalf. A selling securityholder may sell or otherwise transfer all, some or none of such shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following sets forth a summary of the material terms of the Company’s securities, including certain provisions of Delaware law and the material provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or the Charter and the Amended and Restated Bylaws, or the Bylaws.  This summary is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities.  The full texts of the proposed Charter and Bylaws are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We urge you to read our Charter and Bylaws in their entirety, as well as the applicable provisions of Delaware law, for a complete description of the rights and preferences of the Company’s securities.

Authorized Capitalization

The Charter authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which

As of September 30, 2022, there were approximately 154,639,416 shares of Common Stock outstanding, held of record by approximately 273 holders of Common Stock, no shares of preferred stock outstanding and approximately 20,549,453 warrants outstanding held of record by approximately 13 holders of warrants.  Such numbers do not include DTC participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Common Stock

Dividend rights

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board out of legally available funds.

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 capital stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. On January 14, 2021, Rotor effected a stock dividend of 0.2 shares for each outstanding share of Rotor’s Class B Common Stock, or Founder Shares, which, for the avoidance of doubt, were converted into Common Stock of the Company at the closing of the Business Combination), resulting in an aggregate of 6,900,000 Founder Shares outstanding, in order to maintain the number of Founder Shares at 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock upon the consummation of the IPO.  

No Preemptive or Other Rights

Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not subject to redemption or sinking fund provisions.

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of Common Stock possess or will possess, as applicable, all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.  Subject to certain limited exceptions, the holders of Common Stock shall at all times vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock.

Our stockholders do not have the ability to cumulate votes for the election of directors. As a result, the holders of a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose. With respect to matters other than the election of directors, at any meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is present or represented, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by

17

---

 

proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law, the Charter, the Bylaws, or the rules of the stock exchange on which the Company’s securities are listed. The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders

Liquidation Rights

If we become subject to a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the holders of our common stock and any participating preferred stock outstanding at that time, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Outstanding Awards

As of September 30, 2022, options to purchase 13,246,887 shares of Common Stock and restricted stock units covering 3,212,563  shares of Common Stock were outstanding.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. These designations, powers, preferences and rights could include dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of our Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company or other corporate action. As of February 15, 2022, there are no shares of preferred stock outstanding, and we have no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for our Common Stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent, its agents and each of its stockholders, directors, officers and employees against such claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any claims and losses due to any gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnified person or entity.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of our Charter and Bylaws which are summarized below may have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another person from acquiring control of us.  They are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to negotiate first with our board of directors.  We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire the post-combination company because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.  We are also subject to anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law, which could delay or prevent a change of control.  Together, these provisions may make more difficult the removal of management and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our securities.

Delaware Law

We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL.  Section 203 generally prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any

18

---

 

“interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless:

Section 203 defines a business combination to include:

These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing changes in control of the Company.

Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws Provisions

Provisions of the Charter and the Bylaws include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our board of directors or management.  Among other things, the Charter and the Bylaws:

19

---

 

Forum Selection Clause

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for (1) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (2) any action asserting a breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, stockholder, officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (3) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or our Charter and Bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time), or (4) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, shall be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or another state court or the federal court located within the State of Delaware if the Court of Chancery does not have or declines to accept jurisdiction), in all cases subject to the court’s having jurisdiction over indispensable parties named as defendants.  In addition, our Bylaws provide that the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act but that the forum selection provision will not apply to claims brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Exchange Act.  Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding or owning (or continuing to hold or own) any interest in any of our securities shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing Bylaw provisions. Our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder as a result of our exclusive forum provisions.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

Our Bylaws include advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as director.  In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with such advance notice procedures and provide us with certain information in certain form.  Our Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if such rules and regulations are not followed.

20

---

 

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of the Company.  Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in the Company’s name to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of the Company’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Registration Rights

RE2 Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization with Spiral Merger Sub I, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos, and Spiral Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Sarcos, RE2, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation, and Draper Triangle Ventures III, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the agent for and on behalf of the shareholders of RE2, the Company and certain RE2 shareholders entered into a registration rights agreement, or the RE2 Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to file and maintain an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and to undertake certain other related obligations until December 31, 2022. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.

Rule 144

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of Common Stock for at least six months but who are affiliates of ours at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and availability of current public information about us.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

We are no longer a shell company, and as a result, if the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

Lock-Up Restrictions

Concurrently with the execution of the RE2 Merger Agreement, the Company and Jorgen Pedersen, President and Chief Executive Officer of RE2, entered into a lock-up agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, Mr. Pedersen agreed to the following transfer restrictions following closing of the RE2 acquisition:

RE2 securityholders who were RE2 employees at the closing of the RE2 acquisition are also subject to the same transfer restrictions.

As used herein, references to “selling securityholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of Common Stock or interests in the shares of Common Stock received after the date of this prospectus from a selling securityholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. 

We will not receive any of the proceeds of the sale of the Securities offered by this prospectus. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the Securities covered by this prospectus. The selling securityholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of Securities to be made directly or through agents.

The Securities offered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:

Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the Securities by the selling securityholders.

The Securities may be sold in one or more transactions at:

These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:

In connection with distributions of the Securities or otherwise, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Securities in the course of hedging transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the Securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may also sell the Securities short and redeliver the Securities to close out such short positions. The selling securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of the 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 securityholders may also pledge the Securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged Securities pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

A selling securityholder 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 indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell the 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 any selling securityholder or borrowed from any selling securityholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from any selling securityholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any selling securityholder may otherwise loan or pledge the Securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Securities short using this prospectus. 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.

These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.

At the time a particular offering of the Securities is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the selling securityholders, the aggregate amount of Securities being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling securityholders and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers. We may suspend the sale of Securities by the selling securityholders pursuant to this prospectus for certain periods of time for certain reasons, including if the prospectus is required to be supplemented or amended to include additional material information.

The selling securityholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a selling securityholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell our Securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling securityholder.

The selling securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the selling securityholders will sell any or all of the Securities under this prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the selling securityholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the Securities by other means not described in this prospectus. In addition, any Securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The Securities may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.

The selling securityholders and any other person participating in the sale of the Securities will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the Securities by the selling securityholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in market-making activities with respect to the particular Securities being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the Securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the Securities.

The selling securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some shares of the Securities owned by them and, if a selling securityholder defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such shares of the Securities, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment or supplement to this prospectus amending the list of the selling securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as the selling securityholders under this prospectus. The selling securityholders also may transfer shares of the Securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

A selling securityholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of the Securities to its members, partners or stockholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part by delivering a prospectus. To the extent that such members, partners or stockholders are not affiliates of ours, such members, partners or stockholders would thereby receive freely tradable shares of the Securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement.

With respect to securities being registered pursuant to the RE2 Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify or provide contribution to each selling securityholder and the agent for and on behalf of the selling securityholders thereunder, and its respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, trustees, employees and agents and other representatives, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such selling securityholder within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling securityholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act.

The selling securityholders may indemnify any broker or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

For additional information regarding expenses of registration, see the section titled “Use of Proceeds” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following table sets forth all expenses to be paid by the Registrant, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, in connection with this offering. All amounts shown are estimates.

 

_________________

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents.

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Consequently, our directors will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duties as directors, except liability for the following:

 

Any amendment, repeal or elimination of these provisions will not eliminate or reduce the effect of these provisions in respect of any act, omission or claim that occurred or arose prior to that amendment, repeal or elimination. If the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to provide for further limitations on the personal liability of directors of corporations, then the personal liability of our directors will be further limited to the greatest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

In addition, our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, and may indemnify our employees, agents and any other persons, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Our bylaws also provide that we must advance expenses incurred by or on behalf of a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, subject to limited exceptions.

Further, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements require us to, among other things, indemnify our directors and executive officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance all expenses reasonably and actually incurred by our directors and executive officers in investigating or defending any such action, suit or proceeding. We believe that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and executive officers.

II-1

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and indemnification agreements may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by us to our directors and officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law. The underwriting agreement between the registrant and the underwriters filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for the indemnification by the underwriters of our directors and officers and certain controlling persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act with respect to information provided by the underwriters specifically for inclusion in the registration statement.

(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.

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.
