SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED May 12, 2025
PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
WRAP TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Up to 6,433,332 Shares of Common Stock
(Inclusive of 3,216,666 Shares of Common Stock Issuable Upon Exercise of Warrants)
This prospectus of Wrap Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Wrap”), relates solely to the resale by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (the “Selling Securityholders”) of up to (i) 3,216,666 shares (the “Common Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (ii) 3,216,666 shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain warrants (“Warrants”), with an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The Common Shares and Warrants were issued pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated February 24, 2025, by and between the Company and the Selling Securityholders.
The securities that may be sold by the Selling Securityholders are referred to in this prospectus as the “Offered Securities.” We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the Selling Securityholders of the Offered Securities; however, we will receive the exercise price of the Warrants upon any exercise of the Warrants by payment of cash, with an exercise price of $1.80 per share. See “Description of Securities to be Registered.” We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for general corporate purposes.
We believe the likelihood that the Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. If the trading price for our Common Stock is less than $1.80 per share, we believe holders of our Warrants are unlikely to exercise their Warrants. Conversely, these holders are more likely to exercise their Warrants the higher the price of our Common Stock is above $1.80 per share. The closing price of our Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on May 9, 2025 was below the Warrant exercise price of $1.80 per share.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Offered Securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of the Offered Securities, except as otherwise expressly set forth under “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 14 of this prospectus.
Our registration of the Offered Securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the Offered Securities. The Selling Securityholders named in this prospectus, or their donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest may sell the Offered Securities covered by this prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices, including through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. For additional information on the possible methods of sale that may be used by the Selling Securityholders, you should refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Plan of Distribution” of this prospectus. If necessary, the specific manner in which the Offered Securities may be offered and sold will be described in one or more supplements to this prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update or change information contained in this prospectus.
No underwriter or other person has been engaged to facilitate the sale of our Common Stock in this offering. The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents may, individually but not severally, be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, of the shares of Common Stock that they are offering pursuant to this prospectus.
Our Common Stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “WRAP.” On May 9, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq was $1.47 per share.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making any investment in our securities, you should read and carefully consider the risks described in this prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus and in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus and in any applicable prospectus supplement. You should carefully read this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement, together with the documents we incorporate by reference, before you invest in our Common Stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is , 2025

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus may contain or incorporate by reference forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements are based upon management’s assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions and beliefs about future events. In some cases, predictive, future-tense or forward-looking words such as “intend,” “plan,” “predict,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “target,” “strategy,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “forecast,” “should” and similar expressions, whether in the negative or affirmative, that reflect our current views with respect to future events and operational, economic and financial performance are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such forward-looking statements are only predictions, and actual results and the timing of certain events and circumstances may differ materially from those described by the forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, the Company’s ability to successfully implement training programs for the use of its products; the Company’s ability to manufacture and produce its products; the Company’s ability to develop sales for its new products; the acceptance of existing and future products, including the acceptance of the BolaWrap 150, Wrap Reality, our Body-Worn Camera and our Digital Evidence Management system; the risk that distributor and customer orders for future deliveries are modified, rescheduled or cancelled in the normal course of business; the availability of funding to continue to finance operations; the complexity, expense and time associated with sales to law enforcement and government entities; the lengthy evaluation and sales cycle for the Company’s product solution; product defects; litigation risks from alleged product-related injuries; risks of government regulations; the impact resulting from geopolitical conflicts and any resulting sanctions; the ability to obtain export licenses for countries outside of the US; the ability to obtain patents and defend IP against competitors; the impact of competitive products and solutions; and the Company’s ability to maintain and enhance its brand; the ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market’s listing standards; the ability of the Company to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; and risks resulting from the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company, including that reduced disclosure requirements may make shares of the Company’s Common Stock less attractive to investors. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements are described in this prospectus, including under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” in “Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 31, 2025 and the risk factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus supplement. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC, particularly our annual reports on Form 10-K, our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and our current reports on Form 8-K. The Company cautions readers that the forward-looking statements included in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus represent our beliefs, expectations, estimates and assumptions only as of the date hereof and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the effect of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Our Company
We are a global public safety technology and services company that delivers safe and effective policing solutions to law enforcement and security personnel worldwide. We are leading the movement for safer outcomes by equipping law enforcement with safer, non-painful compliance tools, and immersive training fit for modern society. We began sales of our first public safety product, the BolaWrap 100 remote restraint device, in late 2018. In the first quarter of 2022, we delivered a new generation product, the BolaWrap 150. The BolaWrap 150 is electronically deployed and is more robust, smaller, lighter and simpler to deploy than the BolaWrap 100 that has since been phased out. In late 2020 we added a new solution to our public safety technologies, our virtual reality (“VR”) training platform, Wrap Reality, and in August 2023 we acquired Intrensic, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Intrensic”), which added a Body-Worn Camera (“BWC”) and Digital Evidence Management (“DEM”) solution to our portfolio of policing solutions. Wrap Reality is now sold to law enforcement agencies for simulation training as well as corrections departments for the societal reentry scenarios.
Our target market for our solutions includes approximately 900,000 full-time sworn law enforcement officers in over 18,000 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and over 12 million police officers in more than 100 countries. Additionally, we are exploring opportunities in other domestic markets, such as military and private security. Our international focus is on countries with the largest police forces. According to 360iResearch, a market research consulting firm, our non-lethal products are part of a global market segment expected to grow to $16.1 billion by 2027.
We focus our efforts on the following products and services:
BolaWrap Remote Restraint Device - a hand-held remote restraint device that discharges a seven and half-foot Kevlar tether to entangle an individual at a range of 10-25 feet. BolaWrap assists law enforcement to safely and effectively control encounters early without resorting to painful force options.
Wrap Reality - a law enforcement 3D training system employing immersive computer graphics VR with proprietary software-enabled content. It allows up to two participants to enter a simulated training environment simultaneously, and customized weapons controllers enable trainees to engage in strategic decision making along the force continuum. Wrap Reality has 45 scenarios for law enforcement and corrections and 15 scenarios for societal reentry. Wrap Reality is one of the most robust 3D Virtual Reality solutions on the market for law enforcement and societal reentry today.

Wrap Intrensic - a Body-Worn Camera and Digital Evidence Management solutions provider. BWC and DEM play crucial roles in capturing, storing, and managing digital evidence, such as video and audio recordings for various purposes, including criminal investigations and maintaining transparency in public interactions. The Wrap Intrensic X2 camera hardware and storage and data management capability, along with awareness of front-line operations, provides customers with a solution to meet their challenges. Wrap Intrensic Evidence on our cloud-based video storage platform provides an unlimited video storage platform that includes video and other evidence uploading, search, retrieval, redaction, and evidence sharing while reducing the need for resources required to manage this evidence.
In addition to the U.S. law enforcement market, we have shipped our restraint products to 62 countries. We have established an active distributor network representing 50 states and one dealer representing the US territory of Puerto Rico. We have distribution agreements with 23 international distributors covering 63 countries. We focus significant sales, training and business development efforts to support our distribution network in addition to our internal sales team.
We focus significant resources on research and development innovations and continue to enhance our products and plan to introduce new products. We believe we have established a strong brand and market presence globally and have established significant competitive advantages in our markets.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million and our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.
Corporate Information
The Company was originally formed on October 3, 2007, as a global public safety technology and services company that provides public safety solutions, bringing together cutting-edge technology with exceptional people to address the complex, modern day challenges facing public safety organizations.

Before you invest in our securities you should carefully consider those risk factors described under, but not limited to, the section herein entitled “Risk Factors” and in “Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which are incorporated herein by reference, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference, in evaluating an investment in our securities. If any of these risks were actually to occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Please read “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” |

An investment in our securities carries a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider before you decide to purchase our securities the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference, as updated or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in other documents that are filed after the date thereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results, which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our securities. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of these risks and uncertainties may cause. These potential risks and uncertainties may not be a complete list of the risks and uncertainties facing us. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that we are presently unaware of, or presently consider immaterial, that may become material in the future and have a material adverse effect on us. You could lose all or a significant portion of your investment due to any of these risks and uncertainties.
The Selling Securityholders may sell a large number of shares, resulting in substantial diminution to the value of shares of Common Stock held by our current stockholders.
Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, a holder of the Warrants may not exercise any portion of such holder’s Warrants to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the beneficial ownership limitation to up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. However, we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales by the Selling Securityholders of the shares registered for resale hereunder. In addition, these restrictions do not prevent the Selling Securityholders from selling shares of Common Stock received in connection with such conversions or exercises and then receiving additional shares of Common Stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. In this way, the Selling Securityholders could sell more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a relatively short time frame while never holding more than 9.99% at any one time.
The market price of shares of our Common Stock could decline as a result of substantial sales of our Common Stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our Common Stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our Common Stock will have on the market price of our Common Stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, including issuances made in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock.
Further, the registration of the sale of shares of our Common Stock hereunder may create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” whereby a large number of shares of our Common Stock become available for sale or the perception in the market that holders of a large number of shares intend to sell their shares. The existence of an overhang and the anticipation of such sales, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, could cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall. It could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.
In addition, registration rights
we may grant in the future, including in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, may further depress market prices if these
registration rights are exercised or shares of our Common Stock are sold under the registration statements, the presence of additional
shares trading in the public market may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Furthermore, while certain of the
Selling Securityholders may experience a positive rate of return based on the current trading price of our Common Stock, public stockholders
may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities purchased in the open market due to potential differences in the purchase
prices paid by public stockholders for shares of Common Stock bought in the open market and the Selling Securityholders in transactions
in which they purchased or received their Offered Securities and the current trading price of our Common Stock.

Our Warrants contain anti-dilution protection, which may cause dilution to our stockholders.
As of May 9, 2025, we had outstanding 50,554,267 shares of Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of the Warrants would dilute the percentage ownership interest of holders of our Common Stock, dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock and increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
In addition, our Warrants contain anti-dilution provisions which, subject to limited exceptions, would increase the number of shares issuable upon conversion of such securities (by reducing the exercise price) in the event that we in the future issue Common Stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable to purchase Common Stock, at a price per share lower than the exercise price of the Warrants.
Our commitment to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and our Warrants could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.
Our commitment to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and our Warrants has the potential to cause significant downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock. In such an environment, short sellers may contribute exacerbate any decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our Common Stock, the share price of our Common Stock may decline more than it would in an environment without such activity. This may cause other holders of our Common Stock to sell their shares. If there are many more shares of our Common Stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our Common Stock will likely decline.
The Selling Securityholders may participate in short sales of our Common Stock. They may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Common Stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell shares of Common Stock short and deliver shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge shares of Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares. Such activity could cause a decline in the market price of the shares of our Common Stock.
| 5 |
We will receive no proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by the Selling Securityholders.
We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants and issuance of the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. If all of the Warrants mentioned above were exercised for cash in full, the proceeds would be approximately $5.8 million. We intend to use the net proceeds of such Warrant exercise, if any, for general corporate purposes and working capital. We can make no assurances that any of the Warrants will be exercised, or if exercised, that they will be exercised for cash, the quantity which will be exercised or in the period in which they will be exercised.
We believe the likelihood that the Warrant holders will exercise their Warrants, and therefore the amount of cash proceeds that we would receive, is dependent upon the trading price of our Common Stock. If the trading price for our Common Stock is less than $1.80 per share, we believe holders of our Warrants are unlikely to exercise their Warrants. Conversely, these holders are more likely to exercise their Warrants the higher the price of our Common Stock is above $1.80 per share. The closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on April 24, 2025 was below the Warrant exercise price of $1.80 per share.
The Selling Securityholders will pay any brokerage fees or commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred in selling the securities. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

This prospectus relates solely to the resale by the Selling Securityholders identified in the table below or their permitted transferees of up to (i) 3,216,666 Common Shares and (ii) 3,216,666 Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, with an exercise price of $1.80 per share. The Common Shares and Warrants were issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
To our knowledge, within the past three years, none of the Selling Securityholders has held a position as an officer or a director of ours, nor had any other material relationship of any kind with us or any of our affiliates, except to the extent set forth in the footnotes to the table below.
A Selling Securityholder who is an affiliate of a broker-dealer and any participating broker-dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any commissions or discounts given to any such Selling Securityholder or broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. To our knowledge, except to the extent set forth in the footnotes to the table below, none of the Selling Securityholders are affiliates of broker-dealers and there are no participating broker-dealers. The term “Selling Securityholder” also includes any transferees, pledgees, donees, or other successors in interest to the Selling Securityholder named in the table below.
The following table and the information in the notes below are based upon information supplied by the Selling Stockholders and sets forth the number of Offered Securities: (i) beneficially owned by each of the Selling Securityholders as of May 9, 2025, (ii) being offered hereby by each of the Selling Securityholders and (iii) beneficially owned by each of the Selling Securityholders after giving effect to the sale by a Selling Securityholder of all of its Offered Securities. Except as expressly noted in the footnotes below, beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.
The following table also sets forth the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Selling Securityholders after giving effect to the sale by a Selling Securityholder of all Offered Securities, based on 53,770,933 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 9, 2025 (assuming the issuance of all shares of Common Stock and Warrant Shares issuable pursuant to Purchase Agreement). For purposes of the table below, we have assumed, upon termination of this offering, none of the Offered Securities will be beneficially owned by any of the Selling Securityholders, and we have further assumed that a Selling Securityholder will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering.
Under the terms of the Warrants, a Selling Securityholders may not exercise the Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such Selling Securityholders, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of our then outstanding Common Stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares of Common Stock Offered” do not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”
The Selling Securityholders are not making any representation that any of the Offered Securities covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because we do not know how long each of the Selling Securityholders will hold the Offered Securities, whether any will exercise the Warrants and, upon such exercise, how long each such Selling Securityholders will hold the shares of Common Stock before selling them, and because each of the Selling Securityholders may dispose of all, none or some portion of its securities, no estimate can be given as to the number of securities that will be beneficially owned by a Selling Securityholder upon completion of this offering. In addition, each Selling Securityholder may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of its securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented.
We may amend or supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change this Selling Securityholders list and the securities that may be resold.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED
The following description of our Common Stock and Warrants summarize the material terms and provisions of our Common Stock and Warrants. The following description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) and Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), each as may be amended, which were filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025, and are incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by applicable law. The terms of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants may also be affected by Delaware law.
Authorized Capital Stock
The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.
Common Stock
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) may from time to time declare, and the Company may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by law. Holders of the Company’s Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of at a meeting of stockholders. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The Common Stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are, when sold, validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Specified Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws Provisions
Preferred Stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock may enable the Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to gain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the Board were to determine that a takeover proposal is not in the best interests of the Company or stockholders, the Board could cause shares of preferred stock to be issued without stockholder approval in one or more private offerings or other transactions that might dilute the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder or stockholder group. In this regard, the Articles of Incorporation grant the Board broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance may also adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of these holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that stockholders may take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not take action by written consent. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws further provide that special meetings of the Company’s stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board, and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board at the request of the holders of not less than a majority of all the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.
Business Combinations. Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which relate to business combinations with interested stockholders, applies to the Company. Subject to certain exceptions, Section 203 prevents a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that such person became an interested stockholder, unless either the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the Board, the business combination is approved by the Board and stockholders in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving the Company and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of the Company’s assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
| 12 |
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations. The Company’s Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must meet specified procedural requirements. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders.
Exclusive Forum Charter Provision. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws require that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for a stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring an action relating to the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act, as amended, against any person in connection with any offering of the Company’s securities, including, without limitation and for the avoidance of doubt, any auditor, underwriter, expert, control person, or other defendant. Because the applicability of the exclusive forum provision is limited to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company does not intend that the exclusive forum provision would apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, and acknowledge that federal courts have concurrent jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act. The Company notes that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Although the Company believes this provision benefits the Company by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Company’s directors and officers.
Directors’ Liability. The Articles of Incorporation limit the personal liability of directors to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law and provides that no director will have personal liability to the Company or to its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty. However, these provisions do not eliminate or limit the liability of any of the Company’s directors:
| · | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders; |
| · | for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| · | under the Delaware General Corporation Law; or |
| · | for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |

The Selling Securityholders also may resell all or a portion of the Offered Securities in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, as permitted by that rule, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of those provisions.
| 14 |
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Securityholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the Selling Securityholders effect such transactions by selling Offered Securities to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders or commissions from purchasers of the Offered Securities for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2121.01.
In connection with sales of the Offered Securities or otherwise, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Offered Securities in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell Offered Securities short and if such short sale takes place after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission, the Selling Securityholders may deliver Offered Securities covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed Offered Securities in connection with such short sales. The Selling Securityholders may also loan or pledge Offered Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such Offered Securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Selling Securityholders have been advised that they may not use Offered Securities the resale of which has been registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of our Common Stock made prior to the date the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, has been declared effective by the SEC.
The Selling Securityholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Offered Securities owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Offered Securities from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of Selling Securityholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Securityholders under this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders also may transfer and donate the Offered Securities in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The Selling Securityholders and any broker-dealer or agents participating in the distribution of the Offered Securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer or agent and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Selling Securityholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the applicable prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities of, including but not limited to, Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
There can be no assurance that any Selling Securityholder will sell any or all of the Offered Securities registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the Offered Securities. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the Offered Securities may be resold by the Selling Securityholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The Offered Securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Securityholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stoc Securityholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Securityholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain provisions relating to the limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and officers. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:
| · | for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
| · | for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| · | under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); or |
| · | for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. |
Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL; provided, however, that we may limit the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and executive officers; and provided, further, that we are not required to indemnify any director or executive officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person or any proceeding by such person against us or our directors, officers, employees or other agents unless:
| · | such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; |
| · | the proceeding was authorized by the board of directors; or |
| · | such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under the DGCL. |
Our Bylaws provide that we shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses by any director or executive officer in connection with any such proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under Article XI of our Bylaws or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined, no advance shall be made by us if a determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.
| II-1 |
Our Bylaws also authorize us to purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to our Bylaws.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a corporation 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 corporation 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 corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The DGCL also provides that indemnification under Section 145(d) can only be made upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer or employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b).
Section 145(g) of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide for eliminating or limiting the personal liability of one of its directors for any monetary damages related to a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, as long as the corporation does not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or omissions which (1) which breached the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) which were not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ insurance to cover our directors and officers for certain liabilities.

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;
(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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” 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) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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, 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.
| II-7 |
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B (§ 230.430B of this chapter):
(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 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.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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.
