Issuance of Series H-5 Preferred Stock and Warrants
|
|
|
|
|
|
On December 6, 2019, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with
certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the
"Investors"), pursuant to which we issued to the Investors an
aggregate of 34,722 shares of our newly designated Series H-5
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
"Series H-5 Preferred"), and the H-5 Warrants to purchase shares of
our common stock, with an exercise price of $0.792 per share,
subject to adjustments. The purchase price per Series H-5 Preferred
was $72.00, equal to (i) the closing price of our common stock on
the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 5, 2019, plus $0.125
multiplied by (ii) 100. The aggregate purchase price for the shares
of Series H-5 Preferred and the H-5 Warrants was approximately $2.5
million. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the H-5 Warrants
will be exercisable beginning six months from the issuance date and
will be exercisable for a period of five years from the initial
exercise date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also on December 6, 2019, we filed the Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of the Series H-5 Convertible Preferred
Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware, establishing and designating the
rights, powers and preferences of the Series H-5 Preferred. We
designated up to 50,000 shares of Series H-5 Preferred and each
share has a stated value of $72.00 (the "Stated Value"). Each share
of Series H-5 Preferred is convertible at any time at the option of
the holder thereof, into a number of shares of common stock
determined by dividing the Stated Value by the initial conversion
price of $0.72 per share, subject to a 9.99% blocker provision. The
Series H-5 Preferred has the same dividend rights as the common
stock, and no voting rights except as provided for in the
Certificate of Designation or as otherwise required by law. In the
event of any liquidation or dissolution, the Series H-5 Preferred
ranks senior to the common stock in the distribution of assets, to
the extent legally available for distribution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Exchange Agreements
|
|
|
|
|
|
On February 5, 2020, we entered into separate Exchange Agreements
(the “Exchange Agreements”) with the Investors to
exchange an equivalent number of shares of Series H-5
Preferred for shares of our Series H-6 Preferred. The terms of the
Series H-6 Preferred is substantially identical to the terms of the
Series H-5 Preferred, except that the
shares of Series H-6 Preferred have the same voting rights as our
common stock, except that in no event shall a holder of Series H-6
Preferred be permitted to exercise a greater number of votes than
such holder would have been entitled to cast if the Series H-6
Preferred had immediately been converted into shares of our common
stock at a conversion price equal to $0.78 (subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations,
reorganizations, reclassifications, combinations, reverse stock
splits or other similar events). In addition, a holder (together
with its affiliates) may not be permitted to vote shares of Series
H-6 Preferred held by such holder to the extent that such
holder would beneficially own more than 9.99% of our common
stock.

Merger Agreement
|
|
|
|
|
|
On December 19, 2019, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) with
ABC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly
owned subsidiary of DropCar (“Merger Sub”), and
AYRO, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AYRO”),
pursuant to which, among other matters, and subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into AYRO, with AYRO
continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of DropCar and the
surviving corporation of the merger (the
“Merger”). The Merger is intended to qualify for
federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization under the
provisions of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the
closing of the Merger, (a) each outstanding share of AYRO
common stock and AYRO preferred stock will be converted into the
right to receive shares of our common stock (the “DropCar
Common Stock”) (after giving effect to a reverse stock split
of DropCar Common Stock, as described below) equal to the
Exchange Ratio described below; and (b) each outstanding AYRO
stock option and AYRO warrant that has not previously been
exercised prior to the closing of the Merger will be assumed by
us.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under the exchange ratio formula in the Merger Agreement (the
“Exchange Ratio”), upon the closing of the Merger, on a
pro forma basis and based upon the number of shares of our common
stock to be issued in the Merger, our current shareholders (along
with our financial advisor) will own approximately 20% of the
combined company and current AYRO investors will own approximately
80% of the combined company (including the additional financing
transaction referenced below). For purposes of calculating the
Exchange Ratio, the number of outstanding shares of DropCar Common
Stock immediately prior to the Merger does not take into effect the
dilutive effect of shares of DropCar Common Stock underlying
options, warrants or certain classes of preferred stock outstanding
as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In connection with the Merger, we will seek the approval of our
stockholders to amend our certificate of incorporation to:
(i) effect a reverse split of DropCar Common Stock at a ratio
to be determined by us, which is intended to ensure that the
listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, or such other
stock market on which the DropCar Common Stock is trading, are
satisfied and (ii) change the name of DropCar to
Ayro, Inc., subject to the consummation of the
Merger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prior to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, and as
a condition of the willingness of the parties to enter into the
Merger Agreement, certain stockholders have entered into agreements
with AYRO pursuant to which such stockholders have agreed, subject
to the terms and conditions of such agreements, to purchase, prior
to the consummation of the Merger, shares of AYRO’s common
stock (or common stock equivalents) and warrants to purchase AYRO
's common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 million
(the “AYRO Pre-Closing Financing”). The consummation of
the transactions contemplated by such agreements is conditioned
upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the
Merger Agreement. After consummation of the Merger, AYRO has
agreed to cause us to register the resale of the DropCar Common
Stock issued and issuable pursuant to the warrants issued to the
investors in the AYRO Pre-Closing Financing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing
conditions, including, among other things, approval by our
stockholders and AYRO’s stockholders, the continued listing
of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market after the Merger and
satisfaction of minimum net cash thresholds by us and AYRO.
In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement,
(i) certain executive officers, directors and stockholders of
AYRO (solely in their respective capacities as AYRO stockholders)
holding approximately 10% of the outstanding AYRO capital stock
have entered into voting agreements with us to vote all of their
shares of Ayro capital stock in favor of adoption of the Merger
Agreement (the “Ayro Voting Agreements”) and
(ii) certain executive officers, directors and stockholders of
ours (solely in their respective capacities as our stockholders)
holding approximately 57% of our outstanding common stock have
entered into voting agreements with AYRO to vote all of their
shares of our common stock in favor of approval of the Merger
Agreement (the “DropCar Voting Agreements”, and
together with the Ayro Voting Agreements, the “Voting
Agreements”). The Voting Agreements include covenants
with respect to the voting of such shares in favor of approving the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and against any
competing acquisition proposals. In addition, concurrently
with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (i) certain
executive officers, directors and stockholders of AYRO and
(ii) certain directors of ours have entered into lock-up
agreements (the “Lock-Up Agreements”) pursuant to which
they accepted certain restrictions on transfers of shares of
DropCar Common Stock for the one-year period following the closing
of the Merger.

|
|
|
Asset Purchase Agreement
|
|
|
|
|
|
On December 19, 2019, we entered into an asset purchase agreement
(the “APA”) with DropCar Operating Company, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of DropCar
(“DropCar Operating”), DC Partners Acquisition, LLC,
Spencer Richardson and David Newman, pursuant to which DropCar
Operating agreed to sell substantially all of the assets associated
with its business of providing vehicle support, fleet logistics and
concierge services for both consumers and the automotive industry.
The aggregate purchase price for the purchased assets consists of
the cancellation of certain liabilities pursuant to those certain
employment agreements by and between DropCar Operating and each of
Mr. Richardson and Mr. Newman, plus the assumption of certain
liabilities relating to or arising out of workers’
compensation claims that occurred prior to the closing date of the
APA.

DropCar Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
Business
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our DropCar business is a provider of automotive vehicle support,
fleet logistics and concierge services for both consumers and the
automotive industry. In 2015, we launched our cloud-based
Enterprise Vehicle Assistance and Logistics (“VAL”)
platform and mobile application (“app”) to assist
consumers and automotive-related companies to reduce the costs,
hassles and inefficiencies of owning a car, or fleet of cars, in
urban centers. Our VAL platform is a web-based interface to our
core service that coordinates the movements and schedules of
trained valets who pickup and drop off cars at dealerships and
customer locations. The app tracks progress and provides email and
text notifications on status to both dealers and customers,
increasing the quality of communication and subsequent satisfaction
with the service. To date, we operate primarily in the New York
metropolitan area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Despite expanding city populations and the growing dependence on
cars for urban mobility, the shrinking supply of vehicle services
(i.e., garages, service centers, etc.) is bottlenecking
the next wave of transportation innovation. To solve for this
systemic urban problem, our technology captures and analyzes real
time data to dynamically optimize a rapidly growing network of
professional valets across a suite of vehicle transport and
high-touch support services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We believe that consumers love the freedom and comfort of having a
personal vehicle, but are held hostage by their dependence on the
physical location of garages and service centers for parking and
maintenance. The continued population shift into cities and
resulting increase in real estate prices are only compounding this
burden. We seek to solve this problem by freeing clients from the
reliance on the physical location of garages and service
centers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We achieve this balance of increased consumer flexibility and lower
consumer cost by aggregating demand for parking and other
automotive services and redistributing their fulfillment to
partners in the city and on city outskirt areas that have not
traditionally had access to lucrative city business. Beyond the
immediate unit economic benefits of securing bulk discounts from
vendor partners, we believe there is significant opportunity to
further vertically integrate such businesses along the supply chain
into our platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the enterprise side, original equipment manufacturers
(“OEMs”), dealers, and other service providers in the
automotive space are increasingly being challenged with consumers
who have limited time to bring in their vehicles for maintenance
and service, making it difficult to retain valuable post-sale
service contracts or scheduled consumer maintenance and service
appointments. Additionally, many of the vehicle support centers for
automotive providers (i.e., dealerships, including body work and diagnostic
shops) have moved out of urban areas thus making it more
challenging for OEMs and dealers in urban areas to provide
convenient and efficient service for their consumer and business
clientele. Similarly, shared mobility providers and other fleet
managers, such as rental car companies, face a similar urban
mobility challenge: getting cars to and from service bays,
rebalancing vehicle availability to meet demand and getting
vehicles from dealer lots to fleet locations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In response to this growing urban mobility challenge, we work
directly with enterprises in the automotive space providing them
with the ability to have our valets transport vehicles to and from
customers, while also driving new revenue from new and existing
customers and their vehicles from within our consumer subscription
base.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We are able to offer our enterprise services at a fraction of the
cost of alternatives, including other third parties or expensive
in-house resources, given our pricing model that reduces and/or
eliminates any downtime expense while also giving clients access to
a network of trained valets on demand that can be scaled up or down
based on the real time needs of the enterprise client. We support
this model by maximizing the utilization of our employee-valet
workforce across a curated pipeline for both the consumer and
business network.

Company Background
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on December 18,
1997 under the name “Internet International Communications
Ltd.” Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment to our
Certificate of Incorporation filed on December 23, 2004, our
name was changed to “WPCS International
Incorporated.” On January 30, 2018, we
completed a business combination with Private DropCar (defined
below) in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization,
dated as of September 6, 2017 and as amended as of
October 10, 2017, November 21, 2017 and December 4,
2017 (the “2018 Merger Agreement”), by and among the
Company (formerly known as WPCS International Incorporated), DC
Acquisition Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company
(“2018 Merger Sub”), and DropCar Operating Company,
Inc. (formerly known as DropCar, Inc.) (“Private
DropCar”), which was effected on January 30,
2018, pursuant to which
2018 Merger Sub merged with and into Private DropCar, with Private
DropCar surviving as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “2018
Merger”). Under the terms of the 2018 Merger Agreement, we
issued shares of our common stock to Private DropCar’s
stockholders, at an exchange ratio of 0.3273 shares of our common
stock for each share of (i) Private DropCar common stock and
preferred stock and (ii) Private DropCar warrants, in each case,
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger. On January 30, 2018,
immediately after completion of the 2018 Merger, we changed our
name to “DropCar, Inc.” The 2018 Merger was
treated as a reverse
merger under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance
with U.S. GAAP.

AYRO
Overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
Business
|
|
|
|
|
|
AYRO
designs, manufactures and markets three- and four-wheeled
purpose-built electric vehicles primarily to commercial customers.
These vehicles allow the end user an environmentally friendly
alternative to internal combustion engines for light duty uses,
including logistics, maintenance and cargo services, at a lower
total cost of ownership. AYRO’s four-wheeled vehicles are
classified as low-speed vehicles (LSVs) based on federal and state
regulations and are ideal for both college and corporate campuses.
AYRO’s three-wheeled vehicle is classified as a motorcycle
for federal purposes and an autocycle in states that have passed
certain autocycle laws, allowing the user to operate the vehicle
with a standard automobile driver’s license. AYRO’s
three-wheeled vehicle is not an LSV and is ideal for urban
transport. The majority of AYRO’s sales are comprised of
sales of its four-wheeled vehicle to Club Car through a strategic
arrangement entered in early 2019. AYRO plans to continue growing
its business through its experienced management team by leveraging
its supply chain, allowing it to scale production without a large
capital investment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AYRO
has also developed a strategic partnership with Autonomic, a
division of Ford. Pursuant to AYRO’s agreement with
Autonomic, AYRO received a license to use Autonomic’s
transportation mobility cloud and has agreed to jointly develop the
monetization of cloud-based vehicle applications.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You
should carefully review and consider the risk factors in the
sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our most
recent annual report on Form 10-K, which has been filed with the
SEC and is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as
any updates thereto contained in subsequent filings with the SEC,
including the risk factors contained in Exhibit 99.2 to our Current
Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2020, and all
other information contained in this prospectus and incorporated by
reference into the prospectus before purchasing our securities. The
risks and uncertainties described are not the only ones facing our
Company. Additional risks and uncertainties of which we are
unaware, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become
important factors that affect us. If any of such risks occur, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price
of our common stock could decline, and you may lose some or all of
your investment.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the ‘Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks
and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by the fact
that they do not relate strictly to historic or current facts. They
use words, such as “anticipate,” “could,”
“continue,” “contemplate,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “will,”
“may,” “potential,” “intend,”
“plan,” “believe,” and other words and
terms of similar meaning. These include statements, among others,
relating to the sufficiency of our financial resources, our planned
future actions, our clinical trial plans, our research and
development plans and expected outcomes, our products under
development, our intellectual property position, our plans with
respect to funding operations, projected expense levels, and the
outcome of contingencies.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may
turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate
assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and
uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially from those set forth
in forward-looking statements. The uncertainties that may cause
differences include, but are not limited to: our need for
additional funds to finance our operations; our history of losses;
anticipated continuing losses and uncertainty of future financing;
the early stage of product development; market acceptance of our
services; the sufficiency of our existing capital resources;
competition from other companies; the risk of technological
obsolescence; uncertainties related to our ability to obtain
intellectual property protection for our technology; and dependence
on officers, directors and other individuals.
We will not update forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by
law. You are advised to consult any further disclosures we make in
our reports to the SEC, including our reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K and
10-K. Our filings list various important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from expected results. We note
these factors for investors as permitted by the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not
possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you
should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all
potential risks or uncertainties.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of securities
by the selling securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. We may
receive up to approximately $2.75 million in aggregate gross
proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, if the warrants are
exercised for cash, based on the per share exercise prices of the
warrants. Any proceeds we receive from the exercise of the warrants
will be used for working capital and general corporate
purposes.
The shares of common stock being offered by the selling
securityholders are those issuable to the selling securityholders
upon the conversion of Series H-6 Preferred and exercise of the H-5
Warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the
preferred stock and the warrants, see “Prospectus Summary
— Recent Events” above. We are registering (i)
125% (or 4,340,250 shares) of the 3,472,200 shares of common stock
issuable upon the conversion of Series H-6 Preferred to the
Investors pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and (ii) 125% (or
4,340,276 shares) of the 3,472,222 shares of common stock issuable
upon exercise of H-5 Warrants issued by the Company in connection
with the Purchase Agreement, in order
to permit the selling securityholders to offer the shares for
resale from time to time.
The table below lists the selling securityholders and other
information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each
of the selling securityholders. The second column lists the number
of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling
securityholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of
common stock as of February 3, 2020, together with securities
exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock within 60
days of February 3, 2020. The third column represents all of the
shares that the selling securityholder may offer under this
prospectus and does not take into account any limitations on the
conversion of the Series H-6 Preferred or the exercise of the
Series H-5 Warrants. The fourth column discloses the number of
shares beneficially owned after the offering, assuming the sale of
all shares of common stock underlying the Series H-6 Preferred and
the Series H-5 Warrants being offered, and does not take into
account any limitations on the conversion of the Series H-6
Preferred or the exercise of the Series H-5 Warrants. The fifth
column discloses the percentage of shares beneficially owned after
the offering and is based on 4,060,503 shares of our common stock outstanding as of
February 3, 2020 and does not take into account any limitations on
the conversion of the Series H-6 Preferred or the exercise of the
Series H-5 Warrants.
While the table below does not reflect these limitations, under the
terms of the Series H-6 Preferred and H-5 Warrants, a selling
securityholder may not convert its Series H-6 Preferred or exercise
its H-5 Warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such
selling securityholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially
own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 9.99%
of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued or
outstanding as the result of such conversion or
exercise.
The selling securityholders may sell all, some or none of their
shares in this offering. See “Plan of
Distribution.”

Each selling securityholder and any of their pledgees, assignees
and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all
of their securities covered hereby on The Nasdaq Capital Market or
any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the
securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may
be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling securityholder may use
any one or more of the following methods when selling
securities:
●
ordinary brokerage
transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits
purchasers;
●
block trades in
which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as
agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as
principal to facilitate the transaction;
●
purchases by a
broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its
account;
●
an exchange
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
●
privately
negotiated transactions;
●
settlement of short
sales;
●
in transactions
through broker-dealers that agree with the selling securityholders
to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price
per security;
●
through the writing
or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise;
●
a combination of
any such methods of sale; or
●
any other method
permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling securityholders may also sell securities under Rule 144
under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this
prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange
for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers
may receive commissions or discounts from the selling
securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be
negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this
prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a
customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440;
and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in
compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein,
the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in
turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of
hedging the positions they assume. The selling securityholders may
also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close
out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one
or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such
broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered
by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other
financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as
supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that
are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act
in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the
resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
Each selling securityholder has informed us that it does not have
any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or
indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities. In no
event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups
which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent
(8%).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us
incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to
indemnify the selling securityholders against certain losses,
claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
Because selling securityholders may be deemed to be
“underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities
Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition,
any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under
Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. The selling
securityholders have advised us that there is no underwriter or
coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of
the resale securities by the selling securityholders.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of
(i) the date on which the 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 resale
securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In
addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for
sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any
person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
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
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).
The validity of the securities we are offering will be passed upon
for us by Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., New
York, New York.

15. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Subsection
(a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of
Delaware (the “DGCL”) empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, 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 he is or was a director,
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 him in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 his conduct was
unlawful.
Subsection
(b) of Section 145 of the DGCL empowers a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit
by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the
capacities set forth above, against expenses (including
attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if
he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be
in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
except that no indemnification may be made with respect to 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 of the
circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery
or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145
of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director,
officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or in
the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith;
that indemnification or advancement of expenses provided for by
Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and empowers the
corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any
liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such
capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such
liabilities under Section 145.
Reference
is also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a
corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or
limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for
violations of a director’s fiduciary duty, except for
liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts
or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under
Section 174 of the DGCL (providing for liability of directors
for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or
redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which the
director derived an improper personal benefit.
Article XIII
of our certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that a
director shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the
director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) for acts specified by the DGCL, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
Article VIII
of our amended and restated by-laws provides that we shall
indemnify our directors and officers, or former directors and
officers, against any and all expenses, liabilities or other
matters.
We
have entered into agreements to indemnify our directors and
officers. These agreements, among other things, will indemnify and
advance expenses to our directors and officers for certain
expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and
settlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or
proceeding, including any action by us arising out of such
person’s services as our director or officer, or any other
company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our
request.

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; and
(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 registration
statement is on Form S–3 (§239.13 of this chapter)
or Form F–3 (§239.33 of this chapter) and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is
contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)
(§230.424(b) of this chapter) 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 (§230.430B of this
chapter):
(A)
Each
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
(§230.424(b)(3) of this chapter) 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) (§230.424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) of this chapter)
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) (§230.415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) of
this chapter) 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 (§230.430C of this
chapter), 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 (§230.430A of
this chapter), 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
(§230.424 of this chapter);
(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 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
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant
of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
it meets all of the requirements for filing on this Form S-3 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its
behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City
of New York, New York on the 7th day of February,
2020.
