CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement we may file constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  These statements relate to future events concerning our business and to our future revenues, operating results and financial condition.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “believe,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” or “continue,” or the negative of those terms or other comparable terminology.

 

Any forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement are only estimates or predictions of future events based on information currently available to our management and management’s current beliefs about the potential outcome of future events.  Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives, and whether our revenues, operating results or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous risks.  There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements.  These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other sections of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC, as well as in our other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.  You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus.  If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

ABOUT BEAM GLOBAL

 

Beam is a clean-technology innovation company based in San Diego, California. We develop, manufacture and sell high-quality, renewably energized infrastructure products for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, energy storage, energy security, disaster preparedness and outdoor media advertising. Our Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure products are powered by locally generated renewable energy and enable vital and highly valuable services in locations where it is either too expensive, too disruptive or impossible to connect to a utility grid, or where the requirements for electrical power are so important that grid failures, like blackouts, are intolerable. We do not compete with EV charging companies; rather, we enable such companies by providing infrastructure solutions that replace the time consuming and expensive process of construction and electrical work which are usually required to install traditional grid-tied EV chargers. We also do not compete with utilities. Our products provide utilities with another tool to deliver reliable and low-cost electricity to EV chargers and, in the case of a grid failure, to first responders and others, through our integrated emergency power panels. We also provide energy storage technologies that make commodity battery cells safer, longer lasting and more energy efficient and our battery management systems (BMS) and associated packaging make batteries safe and usable in a variety of mobility, energy-security and stationary applications.

 

Our charging products are rapidly deployed without the need for construction or electrical work. We compete with the highly fragmented and disintegrated ecosystem of general contractors, electrical contractors, consultants, engineers, permitting specialists and others who are required to perform a traditional grid-tied EV charger installation construction and electrical project. Our clean-technology products are designed to replace a complicated, expensive, time consuming and risk prone process with an easy, low total cost of ownership, robust and reliable product.

 

Beam’s renewable energy infrastructure products and proprietary technology solutions target four markets that are experiencing significant growth with annual global spending in the billions of dollars.

 

  · electric vehicle charging infrastructure;
     
  · energy storage solutions;
     
  · energy security and disaster preparedness; and
     
  ·

outdoor media advertising.

 

The Company focuses on creating high-quality renewable energy products that are rapidly deployable, have diverse use cases and are attractively designed. We believe that there is a clear need for rapidly deployable and highly scalable EV charging infrastructure, and that our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree™ products fulfill that requirement. We are agnostic as to the EV charging service equipment as we do not sell EV charging, rather we sell products which enable it. Our EV ARC™ and Solar Tree™ products replace the infrastructure required to support EV chargers, not the chargers themselves. Our ability to make commodity battery cells safer, longer lived and more energy efficient is, we believe, a significant differentiator as we move to an increasingly electrified and untethered world.

 

We believe our chief differentiators are:

 

  · our patented, renewably energized products dramatically reduce the cost, time and complexity of the installation and operation of EV charging infrastructure when compared to traditional, utility grid tied alternatives;
     
  · our proprietary and patented energy storage solutions;
     
  · our first-to-market advantage with EV charging infrastructure products which are renewably energized, rapidly deployed and require no construction or electrical work on site;

 

 

 3 

 

 

     
  · our products’ capability to operate during grid outages and to provide a source of EV charging and emergency power rather than becoming inoperable during times of emergency or other grid interruptions;
     
  · our ability to add sufficient electrical capacity to provide for the significant increase demand brought by EVs, without having to go through expensive, time consuming and risky utility grid expansion (adding power stations, transmission lines and distribution infrastructure like substations); and
     
  · our ability to continuously create new and patentable inventions which are marketable and a complex integration of our proprietary technology and parts, and other commonly available engineered components, which create a further barrier to entry for our competition.

 

Beam was formed in June 2006 as a limited liability company. Through a series of transactions and mergers, including a series of 2010 transactions where the then existing entity was acquired by an inactive publicly-held company in a transaction treated as a recapitalization of the company, the resulting entity became BEAM GLOBAL, a Nevada Corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 5660 Eastgate Drive, San Diego, CA 92121.  Our telephone number is (858) 799-4583.  Our website is located at www.beemforall.com.  Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.

We may offer, from time to time, shares of our common stock, shares of our preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, debt securities, units to purchase shares of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities or a combination of these securities, and rights to purchase common stock or preferred stock under this prospectus at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of offering.  This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer.  See “Description of Capital Stock”, “Description of Warrants”, “Description of Debt Securities”, “Description of Units” and “Description of Rights” below.  Each time we offer a type or series of securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and other important terms of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

·designation or classification;
·aggregate principal amount or aggregate offering price;
·rates and times of payment of interest or dividends, if any;
·redemption, conversion or sinking fund terms, if any;

The prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus also may supplement, or, as applicable, add, update or change information contained in this prospectus or in documents we have incorporated by reference.  However, no prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

The terms of any particular offering, the initial offering price and the net proceeds to us will be contained in the prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus relating to such offering.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves significant risks.  You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in, or incorporated into, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference herein or therein.  Each of the referenced risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.  Additional risks not known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition and the value of an investment in our securities.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities for working capital to fund business operations and the development of new products, and for other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures related to our growth.  We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in businesses whom, from time to time, we engage and explore the possibility of strategic partnering or investment.

 

The intended application of proceeds from the sale of any particular offering of securities using this prospectus will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to such offering. The precise amount and timing of the application of these proceeds will depend upon a number of factors, such as funding requirements, timing and progress of research, development and commercialization efforts, and the availability and costs of other funds. We may temporarily invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities until they are used for their stated purpose. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for such purposes. As a result, management will retain broad discretion over the use of net proceeds from the sale of securities offered hereby.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The description below of our capital stock and provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws are summaries and are qualified by reference to the articles of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company.  These documents are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of which 10,849,032 are outstanding as of May 31, 2023, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value, of which no shares of preferred stock outstanding. Under Nevada law and generally under state corporation laws, the holders of our common and preferred stock will have limited liability pursuant to which their liability is limited to the amount of their investment in us.

 

Common Stock

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratable in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. The common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and nonassessable, and the shares of common stock to be issued upon the closing of this offering will be fully paid and nonassessable.

 

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. The holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for election. Subject to preferential rights with respect to any series of preferred stock that may be issued, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive ratable such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors on the common stock out of funds legally available therefore and, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, are entitled to share equally and ratable in all of our remaining assets and funds.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Under the terms of our articles of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without shareholder approval, to issue such shares of preferred stock in one or more series.  Each such series of preferred stock shall have such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be determined by the board of directors.

 

The purpose of authorizing the board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a shareholder vote on specific issuances.  The issuance of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

 

The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:

 

·decreasing the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of common stock;
·restricting dividends on the common stock;
·diluting the voting power of the common stock;
·impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
·delaying, deferring or preventing changes in our control or management.

 

Listing

 

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “BEEM”.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is EQ Shareowner Services.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants to purchase our securities or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities that may be sold by us pursuant to this prospectus or any combination of the foregoing and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, forms of the warrant and warrant agreement, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, if any. These terms may include the following:

 

  the title of the warrants;
  the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
  ● 

the designation, amount and terms of the securities or other rights for which the warrants are exercisable;

  ● 

the designation and terms of the other securities, if any, with which the warrants are to be issued and the number of warrants issued with each other security;

  the aggregate number of warrants;
  ● 

any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;

  ● 

the price or prices at which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;

  ●  information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and
  ● 

any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

 

Exercise of Warrants. Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the amount of securities or other rights, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

General

 

We may issue debt securities which may or may not be converted into shares of common stock.  In connection with the issuance of any debt securities which will not exceed $10,000,000.00, we do not intend to issue them pursuant to a trust indenture.  However, if a trust indenture is requested by a placement agent, underwriter or broker-dealer as a condition of the financing, we will provide and enter into a trust indenture.  If a trust indenture is entered into, we do not intend to register the trust indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (“Trust Indenture Act”) pursuant to an exemption.  Under Section 304(a)(9) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act does not apply to any security which is to be issued under an indenture which limits the aggregate principal amount of securities at any time outstanding thereunder to $10,000,000.00.  We do not intend to issue debt securities, if any, pursuant to a trust indenture that will exceed $10,000,000.00.  If a trust indenture is entered into, we will file the trust indenture as an exhibit on Form 8-K before making any offer of debt securities.

 

The following description is a summary of selected provisions relating to the debt securities that we may issue.  The summary is not complete.  When debt securities are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply.  The specific terms of the debt securities as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.

 

This summary and any description of debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to all the provisions of any specific debt securities document or agreement.  We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue a series of warrants.  See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a copy of a warrant document when it is filed.

 

The indenture agent under an indenture agreement, if any, will act solely as our agent in connection with the debt securities issued under that agreement.  Any holder of debt securities may, without the consent of any other person, enforce by appropriate legal action, on its own behalf, its right to exercise those debt securities in accordance with their terms.  When we refer to a series of debt securities, we mean all debt securities issued as part of the same series under the applicable indenture.

 

Terms

 

The applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, may describe the terms of any debt securities that we may offer, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

·the title of the debt securities;
·the total amount of the debt securities;
·the amount or amounts of the debt securities will be issued and interest rate;
·the conversion price at which the debt securities may be converted;
·the date on which the right to exercise the debt securities will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
·if applicable, the minimum or maximum amount of debt securities that may be exercise at any one time;
·if applicable, the designation and terms of the underlying securities with which the debt securities are issued and the amount of debt securities issued with each underlying security;
·if applicable, a discussion of material United States federal income tax consideration;
·if applicable, the terms of the payoff of the debt securities;
·the identity of the indenture agent, if any;
·the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the debt securities; and
·any other terms of the debt securities, including terms, procedure and limitation relating to the exchange or exercise of the debt securities.

We may issue the debt securities in registered form or bearer form.  Debt securities issued in registered form, i.e., book-entry form, will be represented by a global security registered in the name of a depository, which will be the holder of all the debt securities represented by the global security.  Those investors who own beneficial interests in a global debt security will do so through participants in the depository’s system, and the rights of these indirect owners will be governed solely by the applicable procedures of the depository and its participants.  In addition, we may issue debt securities in non-global form, i.e., bearer form.  If any debt securities are issued in non-global form, debt securities certificates may be exchanged for new debt securities certificates of different denominations, and holders may exchange, transfer or exercise their debt securities at the indenture agent’s office, if any, or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus.

 

Prior to the exercise of their debt securities, holders of debt securities exercisable for shares of common stock or preferred will not have any rights of holders of common stock or preferred stock and will not be entitled to dividend payments, if any, or voting rights of the shares of common stock or preferred stock.

 

Conversion of Debt Securities

 

A debt security may entitle the holder to purchase in exchange for the extinguishment of debt an amount of securities at an exercise price that will be stated in the debt security.  Debt securities may be converted at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date set forth in the terms of such debt security.  After the close of business on the expiration date, debt securities not exercised will be paid in accordance with their terms.

 

Debt securities may be converted as set forth in the applicable offering material.  Upon receipt of a notice of conversion properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the indenture agent, if any, or to us, we will forward, as soon as practicable, the securities purchasable upon such exercise.  If less than all of the debt security represented by such security is converted, a new debt security will be issued for the remaining debt security.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units composed of any combination of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants and debt securities.  We will issue each unit so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit.  As a result, 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 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 is a summary of selected provisions relating to units that we may offer.  The summary is not complete.  When units are offered in the future, a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or a free writing prospectus, as applicable, will explain the particular terms of those securities and the extent to which these general provisions may apply.  The specific terms of the units as described in a prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference, or free writing prospectus will supplement and, if applicable, may modify or replace the general terms described in this section.

 

This summary and any description of units in the applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the unit agreement, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable.  We will file each of these documents, as applicable, with the SEC and incorporate them by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part on or before the time we issue a series of units.  See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Information by Reference” above for information on how to obtain a copy of a document when it is filed.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement, information incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus may describe:

 

·the designation and 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 provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities composing the units;
·whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form; and
·any other terms of the units.

 

The applicable provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Capital Stock” and “Description of Warrants” above, will apply to each unit and to each security included in each unit, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

 

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of common stock or preferred stock.  Each series of rights may be issued under a separate agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as subscription agent, or in a similar capacity, all as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of rights.  Such agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.  We will file with the SEC any material agreements or rights certificates relating to each series of rights.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the rights to be issued, including the following, where applicable:

 

  · the date for determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;
  · the aggregate number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of such rights and the exercise price;
  · the designation and terms of the class or series of preferred stock, if any, purchasable upon exercise of such rights;
  · the exercise price;
  · the aggregate number of rights being issued;
  · the date, if any, on and after which such rights may be transferable separately;
  · the date on which the right to exercise such rights shall commence and the date on which such right shall expire;
  · any special U.S. federal income tax consequences; and
  · any other terms of such rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of such rights.

 

The description in any accompanying prospectus supplement of any rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable rights certificate or related agreements, if applicable, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer rights.  For more information on how you can obtain copies of any rights certificate or related material agreements if we offer rights, see “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus.  We urge you to read the applicable rights certificate, the applicable material agreements, if any, and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions, including, without limitation:

 

·to or through underwriters;
·through broker-dealers (acting as agent or principal);
·directly by us to purchasers (including our affiliates and shareholders), through a specific bidding or auction process, a rights offering or otherwise;
·through a combination of any such methods of sale; or
·through any other methods described in a prospectus supplement.

 

The distribution of securities may be effected, from time to time, in one or more transactions, including:

 

·block transactions (which may involve crosses) and transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other organized market where the securities may be traded;
·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to a prospectus supplement;
·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·sales “at the market” to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise; and
·sales in other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers.

 

The securities may be sold at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.  The consideration may be cash or another form negotiated by the parties.  Agents, underwriters or broker-dealers may be paid compensation for offering and selling the securities.  That compensation may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions to be received from us or from the purchasers of the securities.  Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.  If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

We may also make direct sales through subscription rights distributed to our existing shareholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable.  In any distribution of subscription rights to our shareholders, 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.

 

Some or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities with no established trading market.  Any underwriters to whom we sell our securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice.  Accordingly, we cannot assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.

 

Agents may, from time to time, solicit offers to purchase the securities.  If required, we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and set forth any compensation payable to the agent.  Unless otherwise indicated, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.  Any agent selling the securities covered by this prospectus may be deemed to be an underwriter of the securities.

 

If underwriters are used in an offering, securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold, from time to time, in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or under delayed delivery contracts or other contractual commitments.  Securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters.  If an underwriter or underwriters are used in the sale of securities, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter or underwriters at the time an agreement for the sale is reached.  The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as any other underwriter or underwriters, with respect to a particular underwritten offering of securities, and will set forth the terms of the transactions, including compensation of the underwriters and dealers and the public offering price, if applicable.  This prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus will be used by the underwriters to resell the securities.

 

 

 14 

 

 

If a dealer is used in the sale of the securities, we, or an underwriter, will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal.  The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.  To the extent required, we will set forth in the prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions.

 

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities and may make sales of securities directly to institutional investors or others.  These persons may be deemed to be underwriters with respect to any resale of the securities.  To the extent required, the prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, will describe the terms of any such sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if used.

 

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against specified liabilities, including liabilities incurred under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us to payments they may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.  If required, the prospectus supplement, document incorporated by reference or free writing prospectus, as applicable, will describe the terms and conditions of such indemnification or contribution.  Some of the agents, underwriters or dealers, or their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries or affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

 

Under the securities laws of some states, the securities offered by this prospectus may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers.

 

Any person participating in the distribution of common stock registered under the registration statement that includes this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the applicable SEC rules and regulations, including, among others, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of our common stock by any such person.  Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of our common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.  These restrictions may affect the marketability of our common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to our common stock.

 

Certain persons participating in an offering may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the offered securities.  If any such activities will occur, they will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, as the case may be.

 

If more than 10% of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by FINRA members participating in the offering or affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA members, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Conduct Rule 5110(h).

 

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

 

The estimated expenses payable by the registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered are as follows:

 

SEC Registration Fee  $6,016.20(1)
FINRA Filing Fee   (2)
Accounting Fees and Expenses   (2)
Legal Fees and Expenses   (2)
Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses   (2)
Miscellaneous Fees and Expenses   (2)
Total  $(2)

 

(1)

Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) promulgated under the Securities Act, the securities registered pursuant to this registration statement include $81,000,000 of unsold securities (the “Unsold Primary Securities”) previously registered by us on our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238701) (the “Existing Registration Statement”) declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2020. The Existing Registration Statement registered the offer and sale by us of an indeterminate number or amount of shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of $150,000,000. We have determined to include in this registration statement the Unsold Primary Securities. Pursuant to Rule 415(a)(6) promulgated under the Securities Act, this registration statement includes all of the Unsold Primary Securities and we are applying the previously paid filing fee associated with the Unsold Primary Securities to this registration statement. Accordingly, the filing fee of $6,016.20 being paid herewith relates to the $69,000,000 of newly registered securities.

 

(2) These fees are calculated based on the number of issuances and amount of securities offered or on future work performed and accordingly cannot be estimated at this time. An estimate of the aggregate amount of these expenses will be reflected in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada. Section 78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) provides that, subject to certain exceptions under Nevada law, or unless the Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto provide for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the Company or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii) the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Company’s Bylaws further provide that a director shall not be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or failure to take any action, unless (i) the director breached or failed to perform the duties of his or her office as provided in the NRS; and (ii) the breach or failure to perform constituted self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness.

 

 

 

 

 II-1 

 

 

Under Section 78.7502 of the NRS, the Company may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company 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 the action, suit or proceeding, if such person: (i) is not liable pursuant to Section 78.138 of the NRS; or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Further, the Company may 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 Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit, if such person: (i) is not liable pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; or (ii) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. However, indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper. Under Section 78.751 of the NRS, to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding subject to the Nevada indemnification laws, or otherwise in defense of any such claim, issue or matter, the Company is required to indemnify him or her against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws comply with the Nevada law as set forth above.

 

As permitted by Nevada law, the Company’s Bylaws authorize the Company to reimburse expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in defending any civil or criminal action or as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

 

The Company is authorized under Nevada law to purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director or officer or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors and officers, and to persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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

 

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

 

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

(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; or

(ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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.

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities.

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(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.

 

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

 

(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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 provisions described in Item 15 above, 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.
