10,407,408 Shares of Common Stock

Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase 809,524 shares of Common Stock

Warrants to Purchase 11,216,932 shares of Common Stock

(and the shares of Common Stock underlying such Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants)

 

We are offering an aggregate of 10,407,408 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase 11,216,932 shares of our Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at a combined purchase price equal to $3.15 per share. Each Warrant is exercisable for one share of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.02 per share. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until August 29, 2022. We are also offering to certain purchasers pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 809,524 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), in lieu of shares of Common Stock. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of our Common Stock. The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant is equal to the price at which a share of Common Stock is sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each pre Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. This offering also relates to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants sold in this offering.

 

Our Common Stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “XSPA.” The last reported sale price of our Common Stock on August 25, 2020 was $3.30 per share.

general economic conditions and level of consumer and corporate spending on health and wellness and travel;

 

·

our ability to secure new locations, maintain existing ones, and ensure continued customer traffic at those locations;

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important cautionary statements in this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. For a summary of such factors, please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus, as updated and supplemented by the discussion of risks and uncertainties under “Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus and in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or our current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto, as filed with the SEC and which are incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in this document is believed to be current as of the date of this document. We do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this document to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations, except as required by law.

 

In light of these assumptions, risks and uncertainties, the results and events discussed in the forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the base prospectus or in any document incorporated herein by reference might not occur. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the date of the document incorporated by reference in this prospectus. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to us or to any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and discussed under the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained in, or incorporated by reference, in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before purchasing any of our securities. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects 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.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock you purchase.

 

Since the price per share of our Common Stock being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock you purchase in this offering. As of June 30, 2020, our net tangible book value was approximately $24.0 million, or $0.4253 per share. As discussed in greater detail in the “Dilution” section of this prospectus supplement, based on the combined offering price of $3.15 per share of Common Stock and Warrants and our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020, if you purchase securities in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $2.3257 per share with respect to the pro forma net tangible book value of our Common Stock.

 

There is no public market for the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants or the Pre-Funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants will be limited.

 

Holders of Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise such Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants and acquire our Common Stock.

 

Until holders of Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of such Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, holders of Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of our Common Stock underlying such Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

We have a significant number of outstanding warrants, some of which contain full-ratchet anti-dilution protection, which may cause significant dilution to our stockholders, have a material adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock and make it more difficult for us to raise funds through future equity offerings.

 

As of August 25, 2020, we had 57,576,261 shares of Common Stock outstanding. In addition, as of that date we had outstanding warrants to acquire up to 8,482,389 shares of Common Stock. The issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of warrants would dilute the percentage ownership interest of all stockholders, might dilute the book value per share of our Common Stock and would increase the number of our publicly traded shares, which could depress the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Historically, certain of our outstanding warrants contain full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions which, subject to limited exceptions, would reduce the exercise price of the warrants (and increase the number of shares issuable) 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 then in effect, to such lower price. The offering of our securities in connection with a prospectus supplement dated March 19, 2020, triggered such full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions in the instruments listed below and reduced the exercise price or conversion price, as the case may be, of each such warrant, convertible note or convertible preferred stock, as the case may be, to $0.525 per share. Because this offering relates to the sale of Common Stock at a purchase price per share that is above the current exercise price of each of the warrants described below, this offering does not trigger the full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in such instruments; however, such full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions could be triggered in connection with future offerings.

 

·

On July 8, 2019, we entered into an amendment to certain outstanding warrants issued in December 2016 (the “December 2016 Warrants”), in order to, among other things, reduce the exercise price of such warrants, which exercise price was subsequently reduced to $0.525 per share. The December 2016 Warrants contain anti-dilution price protection.

 

·

On March 6, 2020, we entered into a sixth amendment to our existing credit agreement with B3D, LLC (“B3D”) in order to, among other provisions, amend and restate our existing convertible promissory note (the “B3D Note”) in order to increase the principal amount owed to B3D to $7.9 million. B3D was entitled to convert up to $7.9 million in principal and the interest accrued thereon into shares of Common Stock at its option at a conversion price that was subsequently reduced to $0.525 per share. B3D has converted a portion of the outstanding principal under the B3D Note into Common Stock during the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter, and the outstanding balance on the B3D Notes is $0.4 million as of August 25, 2020.

 

In addition to the dilutive effects described above, the perceived risk of dilution as a result of the significant number of outstanding warrants may cause our common stockholders to be more inclined to sell their shares, which would contribute to a downward movement in the price of our Common Stock. Moreover, the perceived risk of dilution and the resulting downward pressure on our Common Stock price could encourage investors to engage in short sales of our Common Stock, which could further contribute to price declines in our Common Stock. The fact that our stockholders and warrant holders can sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, as well as the existence of full-ratchet anti-dilution provisions in our warrants, could make it more difficult for us to raise additional funds through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate, or at all.

 

If we sell shares of our Common Stock in future financings, stockholders may experience immediate dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

 

We may from time to time issue additional shares of Common Stock at a discount from the current market price of our Common Stock. As a result, our stockholders would experience immediate dilution upon the purchase of any shares of our Common Stock sold at such discount. In addition, as opportunities present themselves, we may enter into financings or similar arrangements in the future, including the issuance of debt securities, preferred stock or Common Stock. If we issue Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock, our common stockholders would experience additional dilution and, as a result, our stock price may decline.

 

We will have broad discretion in how we use the net proceeds of this offering. We may not use these proceeds effectively, which could affect our results of operations and cause our stock price to decline.

 

We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.” We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for future locations, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. As a result, investors will be relying upon management’s judgment with only limited information about our specific intentions for the use of the balance of the net proceeds of this offering. We may use the net proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return or any return at all for our stockholders. In addition, pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 

 

An active trading market for our Common Stock may not be sustained.

 

Although our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq, the market for our Common Stock has demonstrated varying levels of trading activity. Furthermore, the current level of trading may not be sustained in the future. The lack of an active market for our Common Stock may impair investors’ ability to sell their shares at the time they wish to sell them or at a price that they consider reasonable, may reduce the fair market value of their shares and may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire additional intellectual property assets by using our shares as consideration.

 

Our stock price may be subject to substantial volatility, and stockholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment.

 

Our Common Stock currently trades on Nasdaq. There is limited public float, and trading volume historically has been low and sporadic. As a result, the market price for our Common Stock may not necessarily be a reliable indicator of our fair market value. The price at which our Common Stock trades may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including the number of shares available for sale in the market, quarterly variations in our operating results, actual or anticipated announcements of new releases by us or competitors, the gain or loss of significant customers, changes in the estimates of our operating performance, market conditions in our industry and the economy as a whole.

 

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.

 

The continued listing standards of Nasdaq provide, among other things, that a company may be delisted if the bid price of its stock drops below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days or if stockholders’ equity is less than $2.5 million. On January 2, 2020, we received a deficiency letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market which provided us a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until June 30, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. On April 17, 2020, we received notice from Nasdaq, which stated that, due to recent market conditions, effective as of April 16, 2020, Nasdaq has determined to toll the compliance period for the minimum bid price requirement through June 30, 2020. In order to regain compliance, on June 10, 2020, we filed a certificate of amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-three reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. On June 17, 2020, we received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

While we have exercised diligent efforts to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet the continuing listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to meet the continuing listing requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Common Stock. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our Common Stock and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our Common Stock when you wish to do so. Further, if we were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our Common Stock would cease to be recognized as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

 

Delisting from Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our Common Stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

 

If our Common Stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to sell our Common Stock.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The OTC Bulletin Board does not meet such requirements and if the price of our Common Stock is less than $5.00 and our Common Stock is no longer listed on a national securities exchange such as Nasdaq, our stock may be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, at least two business days prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver to the customer a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information and to obtain from the customer a signed and date acknowledgment of receipt of that document. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive: (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our Common Stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 

 

Because we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

 

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our Common Stock will provide a return to our stockholders.

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $31.4 million from this offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, including the placement agent fees, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants issued in this offering. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures to support future locations, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. We intend to use future earnings, if any, in the operation and expansion of our business. Any future determination relating to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors, based on our financial condition, results of operations, contractual restrictions, capital requirements, business properties, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

 

 

DILUTION

 

As of June 30, 2020, our net tangible book value was approximately $24.0 million, or $0.4253 per share of our Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

 

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 was $24.6 million, or $0.4270 per share of our Common Stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding as June 30, 2020, after giving effect to the issuance of an aggregate of 1,033,120 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of existing indebtedness.

 

After giving effect to the issuance in the foregoing paragraph, as well as the sale of 10,407,408 shares of our Common Stock, Warrants to purchase up to 11,216,932 shares of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 809,524 shares of Common Stock in this offering at a combined offering price of $3.15 per share, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants or the Placement Agent Warrants issued in this offering, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 would have been approximately $56.0 million, or $0.8243 per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.3973 per share to our existing stockholders and immediate dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $2.3257 per share to investors participating in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution per share of Common Stock to investors participating in this offering:

 

Weighted average public offering price per share and warrant						$	3.15
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2020		$	0.4253
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to pro forma adjustments		$	0.0017
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2020						$	0.4270
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering		$					0.3973
Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering							0.8243
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering						$	(2.3257	)

 

The foregoing illustration does not reflect the potential dilution from (i) the exercise of Warrants to purchase up to 11,216,932 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.02 per share, (ii) the exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 809,524 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, (iii) the exercise of Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 897,355 shares of Common Stock, (iv) the exercise of Palladium warrants to purchase up to 222,222 shares of Common Stock; (v) the exercise of outstanding options or warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock or (vi) the conversion of outstanding convertible debt into Common Stock.

 

Assuming all of the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 897,355 shares of Common Stock were immediately exercised for cash at an exercise price of $3.9375 per share, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 would be approximately $59.5 million, or $0.8649 per share of Common Stock. This amount represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.4379 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.2851 per share to investors participating in this offering.

 

The number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding after this offering is based on 57,576,261 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 25, 2020, and also excludes:

 

·

684,286 shares of Common Stock issuable as of the date hereof upon the conversion of indebtedness outstanding as of August 25, 2020;

Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Warrants.

 

Duration and Exercise Price. Each Warrant offered hereby has an initial exercise price per share equal to $3.02. The Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until August 29, 2022.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). Purchasers of the Warrants in this offering may elect to deliver their exercise notice following the pricing of the offering and prior to the issuance of the Warrants at closing to have their Warrants exercised immediately upon issuance and receive shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants upon closing of this offering. A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding Common Stock after exercising the holder’s Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. Purchasers of Warrants in this offering may also elect prior to the issuance of the Warrants to have the initial exercise limitation set at 9.99% of our outstanding Common Stock. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will round down to the next whole share.

 

Cashless Exercise. In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon exercise of a Warrant in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrants.

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “placement agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. The placement agent has no commitment to buy any of the securities. We will enter into a securities purchase agreement directly with investors in connection with this offering and we may not sell the entire amount of shares of our Common Stock, Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. We will make offers only to a limited number of qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors. The placement agent may retain sub-agents and selected dealers in connection with this offering.

We estimate the total expenses of this offering paid or payable by us will be approximately $3.9 million. After deducting the fees due to the placement agent and our estimated expenses in connection with this offering, we expect the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $31.4 million.

 

On March 19, 2020, we entered into a letter agreement (the “Palladium Engagement Letter”) with Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC (“Palladium”) which sets forth the understanding and agreement between us and Palladium with respect to our engagement of Palladium as a non-exclusive finder for us to use its best efforts to identify potential purchasers for our proposed offering of securities to a limited number of institutional, accredited individual or strategic investors (each a “Finder Investor”).

The placement agent’s warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof are being registered hereby.

 

The placement agent warrants will be exercisable immediately and for 24 months from the date of issuance.

 

 

Tail Financing Payments

 

We have also agreed to pay the placement agent, subject to certain exceptions, a tail fee equal to the cash and warrant compensation in this offering, if any investor, who was contacted or introduced to the Company by placement agent during the term of its engagement or introduced to us by placement agent during the term of its engagement, provides us with capital in any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction during the 12-month period following the termination or expiration of our engagement agreement.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

In addition, we have granted a right of first refusal to the placement agent pursuant to which it has the right to act as the exclusive advisor, manager or underwriter or agent, as applicable, if we or our subsidiaries sell or acquire a business, finance any indebtedness using an agent, or raise capital through a public or private offering of equity or debt securities at any time prior to the 12-month anniversary of the consummation date of this offering.

 

Warrant Solicitation Fee

Other Relationships

As compensation for its services in connection with that offering, the placement agent received cash placement agent fees of $3.0 million and placement agent warrants to purchase up to 609,176 shares of Common Stock, which have an exercise price of $6.56625 per share and expire 21 months from the date of issuance.

 

From time to time, the placement agent may provide in the future various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which they may receive customary fees and commissions. However, except as disclosed in this prospectus, we have no present arrangements with the placement agent for any further services.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

 

This prospectus is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer shares of our common stock and preferred stock, various series of debt securities and/or warrants, rights to purchase any of such securities, either individually or in units, in one or more offerings, with a total value of up to $200,000,000. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer.

Recent Developments

 

Newly launched XpresCheck™ brand

 

On May 22, 2020, we announced the signing of a contract with JFK International Air Terminal LLC (“JFKIAT”) to pilot test our concept of providing diagnostic COVID-19 tests in Terminal 4.  To facilitate the JFK pilot test, we signed an agreement with JFKIAT for a new modular constructed testing facility within the terminal that will host nine separate testing rooms with a capacity to administer over 500 tests per day. We intend to initially offer our services to airline employees, contractors and workers, concessionaires and their employees, TSA officers, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents. All COVID-19 screening and testing will be conducted by a newly launched brand, XpresCheck™, which will operate under our XpresTest subsidiary. The pilot test at JFK launched on June 22, 2020.

 

Reverse Stock Split

 

On June 11, 2020, we effected a one-for-three reverse stock split, whereby every three shares of our Common Stock was reduced to one share of our Common Stock and the price per share of our Common Stock was multiplied by 3. All references to shares and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

 

Effect of Coronavirus on Business

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. and the world, as a pandemic. The outbreak has had an impact on the global economy, resulting in rapidly changing market and economic conditions. National and local governments around the world instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain non-essential businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders and recommendations to practice social distancing. The outbreak and associated restrictions on travel that have been implemented have had a material adverse impact on our business and cash flow from operations, similar to many businesses in the travel sector.

 

Effective March 24, 2020, we temporarily closed all global spa locations, largely due to the categorization of the spa locations by local jurisdictions as “non-essential services”. Substantially all of our spa locations remain closed. We intend to strategically reopen our spa locations and resume normal operations once restrictions are lifted and airport traffic returns to sufficient levels to support our operations.

 

The impact of COVID-19 is unknown and may continue as the rates of infection have increased in many states in the U.S., thus additional restrictive measures may be necessary. As a result, management has concluded that there was a long-lived asset impairment triggering event during the first quarter of 2020, which would require management to perform an impairment evaluation of our long-lived and definite-lived asset balances, consisting primarily of leasehold improvements at spa locations, trademarks and right of use lease assets of approximately $21,891 as of March 31, 2020. As a result of the triggering event, we reassessed our projections and based on management’s expectation of resuming normal operations, no impairment was indicated at this time. The full extent to which COVID-19 will impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain or treat its impact.

 

 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have a material adverse effect on our core XpresSpa business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and prospects in the near-term and beyond 2020.  While management has used all currently available information in our forecasts, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and our newly launched brand, XpresCheck, on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is highly uncertain, and cannot currently be accurately predicted. Our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows are dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, such as a lengthy or severe recession or any other negative trend in the U.S. or global economy and any new information that may emerge concerning the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain it or treat its impact, which at the present time are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any accuracy. The success or failure of our newly launched brand, XpresCheck, could also have a material effect on our business.

 

Airport Rent Concessions

 

We have received rent concessions from landlords on a majority of our leases, allowing for the relief of minimum guaranteed payments in exchange for percentage-of-revenue rent or providing relief from rent in excess of minimum guaranteed amounts where percentage-of-revenue rent exceeds the minimum. Currently, the period of relief from these payments range from three- to ten-months beginning in March 2020.  We did not pay a total of approximately $75,000 in rent in March 2020 as a result of receiving these concessions for the month in which we began closing our spa locations. We will realize additional savings in rent expense going forward since we closed all of our spas on March 24, 2020, and therefore there will be no percentage-of-revenue rent.  We also received deferrals on unpaid rent for three to six months on certain of our leases.

 

Warrant Exchanges

 

On March 19, 2020, we entered into separate Warrant Exchange Agreements (the “March Exchange Agreements”) with the holders of certain existing warrants (the “March Exchanged Warrants”) to exchange warrants for shares of our Common Stock, subject to receipt of the approval of our stockholders, which was obtained on May 28, 2020. The March Exchanged Warrants were originally issued (i) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of May 15, 2018, and in connection with a related consent and (ii) in connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among us (formerly known as FORM Holdings Corp.), FHXMS, LLC, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC and Mistral XH Representative, LLC, as representative of the unitholders, dated October 25, 2016, as subsequently amended.  Pursuant to the March Exchange Agreements, the holders exchanged 1,942,131 of the March Exchanged Warrants for an aggregate of 2,913,197 shares of our Common Stock.

 

On June 4, 2020, we entered into a Warrant Exchange Agreement (the “June Exchange Agreement”) with the holder of certain existing warrants (the “June Exchanged Warrants”) to exchange the June Exchanged Warrants for shares of our Common Stock. The June Exchanged Warrants were acquired pursuant to a separately negotiated private transaction between the holder and Calm.  In June 2020, pursuant to the June Exchange Agreement, on the closing date the holder exchanged 1,374,750 of the June Exchanged Warrants for an aggregate of 2,062,125 shares of our Common Stock.

 

 

Credit Cash Funding Advance

 

On January 9, 2020, certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “CC Borrowers”) entered into an accounts receivable advance agreement (the “CC Agreement”) with CC Funding, a division of Credit Cash NJ, LLC (the “CC Lender”). Pursuant to the terms of the CC Agreement, the CC Lender agreed to make an advance of funds in the amount of $1,000,000 for aggregate fees of $160,000 for a total repayment amount of $1,160,000. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding repayment amount of approximately $910,000 was secured by substantially all of the assets of the CC Borrowers, including CC Borrowers’ existing and future accounts receivables and other rights to payment. On June 1, 2020, the CC Borrowers entered into a payoff letter (the “Payoff Letter”) with the CC Lender pursuant to which the CC Agreement was terminated. Under the Payoff Letter, we repaid $733,903.34 owed under the CC Agreement as of June 1, 2020 and the CC Lender released all security interests held on the assets of the CC Borrowers, including the CC Borrowers’ existing and future accounts receivables and other rights to payment.

 

As compensation for the consent of existing creditor B3D to the CC Agreement described above, on January 9, 2020, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC (“XpresSpa Holdings”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a fifth amendment (the “Fifth Credit Agreement Amendment”) to our existing credit agreement with B3D in order to, among other provisions, (i) amend and restate our existing B3D Note in order to increase the principal amount owed to B3D from $7,000,000 to $7,150,000, which additional $150,000 in principal and any interest accrued thereon will become convertible, at B3D’s option, into shares of our Common Stock subject to upon receipt of the approval of our stockholders, which was obtained on May 28, 2020 and (ii) provide for the advance payment of 97,223 shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of the interest payable pursuant to the B3D Note for the months of October, November and December 2020. The Common Stock was issued to B3D on January 14, 2020.

 

B3D Senior Secured Loan

 

On March 6, 2020, XpresSpa Holdings, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a sixth amendment (the “Sixth Credit Agreement Amendment”) to our existing credit agreement with B3D. In connection with the Sixth Credit Agreement Amendment and B3D Note, B3D agreed to provide us with $500,000 in additional funding and to submit one or more conversion notices to convert an aggregate of $375,000 in principal under the B3D Note to Common Stock on or prior to March 27, 2020. XpresSpa Holdings entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment in order to, among other provisions, (i) amend and restate our existing convertible promissory note with B3D in order to increase the principal amount owed  from $7,150,000 to $7,900,000, which additional $750,000 in principal and any interest accrued thereon will be convertible, at B3D’s option, into shares of Common Stock subject to receipt of the approval of our stockholders, which was approved on May 28, 2020, and (ii) decrease the conversion rate under the B3D Note from $6.00 per share to $1.68 per share. On March 19, 2020, the conversion rate was reduced to $0.525 per share after giving effect to certain anti-dilution adjustments.  In connection with the Sixth Credit Agreement Amendment, B3D converted a total of $750,000 in principal and was issued a total of 446,429 shares of our Common Stock in March 2020.

Paycheck Protection Program

 

On May 1, 2020, we entered into a U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) promissory note in the principal amount of $5,653,000 payable to Bank of America, NA (the “Bank of America”) evidencing a PPP loan (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. No payments will be due on the PPP Loan during a six-month deferral period commencing on May 2, 2020. Commencing one month after the expiration of the deferral period, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the maturity date of the PPP Loan, we will be obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest, each in such equal amount required to fully amortize the principal amount outstanding on the PPP Loan by the maturity date. The maturity date is May 2, 2022. The principal amount of the PPP Loan is subject to forgiveness under the PPP upon our request to the extent that PPP Loan proceeds are used to pay expenses permitted by the PPP. Bank of America may forgive interest accrued on any principal forgiven if the SBA pays the interest. There can be no assurance that any part of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. The PPP Loan contains customary borrower default provisions and lender remedies, including the right of Bank of America to require immediate repayment in full the outstanding principal balance of the PPP Loan with accrued interest.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus for our operations and for other general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, general working capital. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of the areas listed above or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion to allocate the net proceeds, if any, we receive in connection with securities offered pursuant to this prospectus for any purpose. Pending application of the net proceeds as described above, we may initially invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing securities or apply them to the reduction of short-term indebtedness.

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may offer securities under this prospectus from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents or (3) directly to one or more purchasers, or through a combination of such methods. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:

 

·

a fixed price or prices, which may be changed from time to time;

·

market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

·

prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

·

negotiated prices.

 

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time, and may enter into arrangements for “at-the-market,” equity line or similar transactions. We will name in a prospectus supplement any underwriter or agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities.

 

If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

 

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale, and we will provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement which the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

 

With respect to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions and block trades, we will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement information regarding any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

If so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities from us pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Each contract will be for an amount not less than, and the aggregate amount of securities sold pursuant to such contracts shall not be less nor more than, the respective amounts stated in each applicable prospectus supplement. Institutions with whom the contracts, when authorized, may be made include commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies, educational and charitable institutions and other institutions, but shall in all cases be subject to our approval. Delayed delivery contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that:

 

·

the purchase by an institution of the securities covered under that contract shall not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of the jurisdiction to which that institution is subject; and

·

if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts.

 

 

One or more firms, referred to as “remarketing firms,” may also offer or sell the securities, if a prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with the terms of the securities. Each prospectus supplement will identify and describe any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket. Remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

 

Certain underwriters may use this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement for offers and sales related to market-making transactions in the securities. These underwriters may act as principal or agent in these transactions, and the sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Any underwriters involved in the sale of the securities may qualify as “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, the underwriters’ commissions, discounts or concessions may qualify as underwriters’ compensation under the Securities Act and the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA.

 

Shares of our common stock sold pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part will be authorized for listing and trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information, where applicable, as to any other listing, if any, on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any securities market or other securities exchange of the securities covered by the prospectus supplement. Underwriters may make a market in our common stock, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We can make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the existence, development or maintenance of trading markets for any of the securities.

 

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing the applicable security in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if the securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in other transactions with us, or perform other services for us, in the ordinary course of their business.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

The following description of preferred stock and the description of the terms of any particular series of preferred stock that we choose to issue hereunder are not complete. These descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation relating to any series of preferred stock issued by us. The powers, preferences, rights and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designation relating to that series.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, authorizes us to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of July 20, 2020, we had:

 

·

designated and issued 6,968 shares of our preferred stock as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” with no shares outstanding;

·

designated and issued 300,000 shares of our preferred stock as “Series C Junior Preferred Stock” with no shares outstanding;

·

designated 500,000 shares of our preferred stock as “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock” with no shares outstanding;

·

designated 2,397,060 shares of our preferred stock as “Series E Convertible Preferred Stock” with no shares outstanding; and

·

designated and issued 9,000 shares of our preferred stock as “Series F Convertible Preferred Stock” with no shares outstanding.

 

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to an additional 5,786,972 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock. Any or all of these rights may be greater than the rights of our common stock.

 

Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, can issue preferred stock with voting, conversion or other rights that could negatively affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of our common stock. Preferred stock could thus be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of the Company or make it more difficult to remove our management. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock.

 

Our board of directors may specify the following characteristics of any preferred stock:

 

·

the maximum number of shares;

·

the designation of the shares;

·

the annual dividend rate, if any, whether the dividend rate is fixed or variable, the date or dates on which dividends will accrue, the dividend payment dates, and whether dividends will be cumulative;

·

the price and the terms and conditions for redemption, if any, including redemption at our option or at the option of the holders, including the time period for redemption, and any accumulated dividends or premiums;

·

the liquidation preference, if any, and any accumulated dividends upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;

·

any sinking fund or similar provision, and, if so, the terms and provisions relating to the purpose and operation of the fund;

·

the terms and conditions, if any, for conversion or exchange of shares of any other class or classes of our capital stock or any series of any other class or classes, or of any other series of the same class, or any other securities or assets, including the price or the rate of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjustment;

·

the voting rights;

·

any or all other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, privileges or qualifications, limitations or restrictions; and

·

any preferred stock issued will be fully paid and nonassessable upon issuance.

 

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our preferred stock will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any future debt securities we may offer pursuant to this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in a prospectus supplement, the terms of any debt securities offered under such prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and to the extent the terms set forth in a prospectus supplement differ from the terms described below, the terms set forth in the prospectus supplement shall control.

 

We may sell from time to time, in one or more offerings under this prospectus, debt securities, which may be senior or subordinated. We will issue any such senior debt securities under a senior indenture that we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the senior indenture. We will issue any such subordinated debt securities under a subordinated indenture, which we will enter into with a trustee to be named in the subordinated indenture. We have filed forms of these documents as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We use the term “indentures” to refer to either the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture, as applicable. The indentures will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the indenture. We use the term “debenture trustee” to refer to either the trustee under the senior indenture or the trustee under the subordinated indenture, as applicable.

 

The following summaries of material provisions of the senior debt securities, the subordinated debt securities and the indentures are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities.

 

General

 

Each indenture provides that debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be denominated and payable in foreign currencies or units based on or relating to foreign currencies. Neither indenture limits the amount of debt securities that may be issued thereunder, and each indenture provides that the specific terms of any series of debt securities shall be set forth in, or determined pursuant to, an authorizing resolution and/or a supplemental indenture, if any, relating to such series.

 

We will describe in each prospectus supplement the following terms relating to a series of debt securities:

 

·

the title or designation;

·

the aggregate principal amount and any limit on the amount that may be issued;

·

the currency or units based on or relating to currencies in which debt securities of such series are denominated and the currency or units in which principal or interest or both will or may be payable;

·

whether we will issue the series of debt securities in global form, the terms of any global securities and who the depositary will be;

·

the maturity date and the date or dates on which principal will be payable;

·

the interest rate, which may be fixed or variable, or the method for determining the rate and the date interest will begin to accrue, the date or dates interest will be payable and the record dates for interest payment dates or the method for determining such dates;

·

whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured, and the terms of any secured debt;

·

the terms of the subordination of any series of subordinated debt;

·

the place or places where payments will be payable;

·

our right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any such deferral period;

·

the date, if any, after which, and the price at which, we may, at our option, redeem the series of debt securities pursuant to any optional redemption provisions;

·

the date, if any, on which, and the price at which we are obligated, pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund provisions or otherwise, to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, the series of debt securities;

 

 

 

·

whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves;

·

whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness;

·

a discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a series of debt securities;

·

the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof; and

·

any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, the debt securities.

 

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights

 

We will set forth in the prospectus supplement the terms, if any, on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

 

Consolidation, Merger or Sale; No Protection in Event of a Change of Control or Highly Leveraged Transaction

 

The indentures do not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets must assume all of our obligations under the indentures or the debt securities, as appropriate.

 

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change of control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change of control), which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

 

Events of Default Under the Indenture

 

The following are events of default under the indentures with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

·

if we fail to pay interest when due and our failure continues for 90 days and the time for payment has not been extended or deferred;

·

if we fail to pay the principal, or premium, if any, when due and the time for payment has not been extended or delayed;

·

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant set forth in the debt securities of such series or the applicable indentures, other than a covenant specifically relating to and for the benefit of holders of another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice from the debenture trustee or holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

·

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur as to us.

 

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of an event of default may constitute an event of default under any bank credit agreements we may have in existence from time to time. In addition, the occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

 

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the debenture trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of and premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained with respect to debt securities of any series, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the applicable indenture (including payments or deposits in respect of principal, premium or interest that had become due other than as a result of such acceleration). We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the debenture trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the debenture trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the debenture trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the debenture trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

·

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

·

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the debenture trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indentures or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies if:

 

·

the holder previously has given written notice to the debenture trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

·

the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the debenture trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee; and

·

the debenture trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series (or at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) other conflicting directions within 60 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

 

We will periodically file statements with the applicable debenture trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the applicable indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

The debenture trustee and we may change the applicable indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters, including:

 

 

·

to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; and

·

to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series issued pursuant to such indenture.

 

In addition, under the indentures, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the debenture trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) that is affected. However, the debenture trustee and we may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

·

extending the fixed maturity of the series of debt securities;

·

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or any premium payable upon the redemption of any debt securities;

·

reducing the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

·

making the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; or

·

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver.

 

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series (or, at a meeting of holders of such series at which a quorum is present, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of such series represented at such meeting) may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series or in respect of a covenant or provision, which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the series affected; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

 

Discharge

 

Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for obligations to:

 

·

the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

·

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

·

maintain paying agencies;

·

hold monies for payment in trust;

·

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

·

appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged with respect to a series, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, the premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange, and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indentures provide that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or another depositary named by us and identified in a prospectus supplement with respect to that series.

 

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the indentures and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange or in the applicable indenture, we will make no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

·

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

·

register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Information Concerning the Debenture Trustee

 

The debenture trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the applicable indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the debenture trustee under such indenture must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the debenture trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indentures at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, will we make interest payments by check which we will mail to the holder. Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the debenture trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the debenture trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities which remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

Governing Law

 

The indentures and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

 

Subordination of Subordinated Debt Securities

 

Our obligations pursuant to any subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and will be subordinate and junior in priority of payment to certain of our other indebtedness to the extent described in a prospectus supplement. The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. It also does not limit us from issuing any other secured or unsecured debt.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

 

General

 

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or the other securities described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, warrants, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights. We will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:

 

·

the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;

·

the aggregate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;

·

the exercise price;

·

the aggregate number of rights issued;

·

whether the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;

the method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise;

·

the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;

·

the withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;

whether there are any backstop or standby purchaser or purchasers and the terms of their commitment, if any;

·

any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

·

any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as applicable.

 

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Rights Agent

 

The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

The following description, together with the additional information that we include in any applicable prospectus supplements summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

We will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectuses and the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

General

 

We may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, one or more debt securities, warrants, rights for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series, in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units being offered, including:

 

·

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

·

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

·

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those set forth in any prospectus supplement or as described under “Description of Common Stock,” “Description of Preferred Stock,” “Description of Debt Securities,” “Description of Warrants” and “Description of Rights” will apply to each unit, as applicable, and to any common stock, preferred stock, debt security, warrant or right included in each unit, as applicable.

 

Unit Agent

 

The name and address of the unit agent, if any, for any units we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

 

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OF
THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

Delaware Law

 

We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 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 the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of our board of directors or unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

 

Charter Documents

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that amendments by our stockholders of our amended and restated bylaws require the approval of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of all outstanding stock. These provisions could discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company and could delay changes in management.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be removed by our stockholders only for cause and, in addition to any other vote required by law, upon the affirmative vote of at least 66⅔% of the voting power of all outstanding securities then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. These provisions mean that a proposal to replace one or more directors on our board of directors could be delayed until the next annual meeting.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

 

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

 

·

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

·

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

·

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or

·

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The amended and restated bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding, and permit us to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of his or her actions in that capacity regardless of whether we would otherwise be permitted to indemnify him or her under Delaware law.

 

We have entered and expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by our board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding brought against them by reason of the fact that they are or were our agents. We believe that these provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. This description of the limitation of liability and indemnification provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and indemnification agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents.
