From time to time, we may offer and sell, in one or more offerings,
up to $75,000,000 of any combination of the securities described in
this prospectus. We may also offer securities as may be issuable
upon conversion, repurchase, exchange or exercise of any securities
registered hereunder, including any applicable anti-dilution
provisions.
This prospectus provides a general description of the securities we
may offer from time to time. Each time we offer securities, we will
provide specific terms of the securities offered in a supplement to
this prospectus. We may also authorize one or more free writing
prospectuses to be provided to you in connection with an offering.
The prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus
may also add, update or change information contained in this
prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus, the
applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing
prospectus, as well as any documents incorporated by reference,
before you invest in any of the securities being
offered.
Our
common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the
symbol “WRTC.” The last reported sale price of our
common stock on December 20, 2018 was $3.15 per
share.
We may offer and sell our securities to or through one or more
agents, underwriters, dealers or other third parties or directly to
one or more purchasers on a continuous or delayed basis. If agents,
underwriters or dealers are used to sell our securities, we will
name them and describe their compensation in a prospectus
supplement. The price to the public of our securities and the net
proceeds we expect to receive from the sale of such securities will
also be set forth in a prospectus supplement. For additional
information on the methods of sale, you should refer to the section
entitled “Plan of
Distribution” in this
prospectus.
As
of December 20, 2018, the aggregate market value of our outstanding
common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately $33.2
million, which was calculated in accordance with General
Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, based on 10,537,912 shares of
outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates, at a price per
share of $3.15, the closing sale price of our common stock reported
on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 20,
2018.
Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will
we sell the securities described in this prospectus in a public
primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third (1/3)
of the aggregate market value of our common stock held by
non-affiliates in any twelve (12)-month period, so long as the
aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by
non-affiliates remains below $75.0 million. During the twelve (12)
calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus,
we have not offered or sold any securities pursuant to General
Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. As a result, we are currently
eligible to offer and sell up to an aggregate of approximately $11
million of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of
Form S-3.
Our business and investing in our
securities involves significant risks. You should review carefully

prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and
in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this
prospectus or the applicable prospectus

securities commission has approved or disapproved of these
securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this
prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), using a “shelf” registration
process. Under this shelf registration process, we may sell
the securities described in this prospectus in one or more
offerings. This prospectus provides you with a general
description of the securities that may be offered. Each time
we offer securities for sale, we will provide a prospectus
supplement that contains information about the specific terms of
that offering. Any prospectus supplement may also add or update
information contained in this prospectus. You should read both
this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, together with
additional information described below under
“Where You Can Find More
Information” and
“Incorporation of Certain
Information by Reference.”
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated
by reference in this prospectus, and in any prospectus
supplement. We have not authorized any other person to provide
you with different information. If anyone provides you with
different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on
it. We are not making offers to sell or solicitations to buy
the securities described in this prospectus in any jurisdiction in
which an offer or solicitation is not authorized, or in which the
person making that offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so
or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make an offer or
solicitation. You should not assume that the information in
this prospectus or any prospectus supplement, as well as the
information we file or previously filed with the SEC that we
incorporate by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus
supplement, is accurate as of any date other than its respective
date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations
and prospects may have changed since those dates.
This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained
in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to
the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries
are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of
some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be
filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the
registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you
may obtain copies of those documents as described below under the
heading “Where You Can Find More
Information.”
BolaWrap is one of our trademarks. This prospectus also includes
trademarks, tradenames, and service marks that are the property of
other organizations. For convenience, our trademark BolaWrap
appears in this prospectus without the ™ symbol, but those
uses are not intended to indicate that we will not assert, to the
fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to this
trademark.
Unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise,
references to “Wrap Technologies,” the
“Company,” “we,” “us” or
“our” are to Wrap Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation.
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this
prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information
you should consider before buying our securities. You should read
the following summary together with the more detailed information
appearing in this prospectus, including the section titled
“Risk Factors” on page 3, before deciding whether to
purchase our securities.
Overview
We are a security technology company organized in March 2016
focused on delivering modern policing solutions to customers,
primarily consisting of law enforcement and security personnel. We
began demonstrations of our first product, the BolaWrap 100 remote
restraint device, in November 2017. The immediate addressable
domestic market consists of approximately 701,000 full-time sworn
law enforcement officers in the U.S. We have demonstrated the
product to over 60 agencies across the country, often with media in
attendance, resulting in dozens of media reports including
television and print that have driven hundreds of inquiries from
domestic and international prospects. Over 30 law enforcement
agencies took delivery of BolaWrap 100 devices during 2018. We have
delivered over 230 devices at no cost to these agencies for
evaluation and feedback as a result of these initial inquiries and
have just started filling small orders as we establish production.
We have made improvements to our product as a result of law agency
input and we currently expect to commence taking orders for an
enhanced version of the BolaWrap 100 with a new green line-laser
accessory in the first quarter of 2019. There can be no assurance
regarding the timing or amount of future revenue from this product
or future products, if any.
Risk Factors
Our business is subject to substantial risk. Please carefully
consider the section titled “Risk
Factors” beginning on
page 3 of this prospectus for a discussion of the factors you
should carefully consider before deciding to purchase securities
that may be offered in this prospectus.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or
that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business
operations. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your
investment.
Corporate Information
We are
incorporated in Delaware. The Company
resulted from the March 31, 2017 merger of Wrap Technologies, LLC
(“Wrap LLC”) with and into our wholly-owned subsidiary
MegaWest Energy Montana Corp. (“MegaWest”). Our principal place of business
is located at 4620 Arville Street, Suite E, Las Vegas, Nevada,
89103. Our telephone number is (800) 583-2652. Our corporate
website address is www.wraptechnologies.com. The information
contained on our website is not, and should not be interpreted to
be, part of this prospectus.
Our
Common Stock is currently listed for quotation on the Nasdaq
Capital Market under the symbol WRTC.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before
deciding whether to purchase any of our securities, you should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under
“Risk
Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2017, any subsequent Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, all of which are
incorporated by reference herein. If any of these risks actually
occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations
could be materially and adversely affected and we may not be able
to achieve our goals, the value of our securities could decline and
you could lose some or all of your investment. Additional risks not
presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also
impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, the
trading price of our common stock could decline materially and you
could lose all or part of your investment.
CAUTIONARY NOTES REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve
substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements contained in
this prospectus other than statements of historical facts,
including statements regarding our strategy, future operations,
future financial position, future revenue, projected costs,
prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market
growth, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors
that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to
be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements.
The words “anticipate,” “believe,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,”
“may,” “plan,” “predict,”
“project,” “target,”
“potential,” “will,” “would,”
“could,” “should,” “continue,”
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain
these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include,
among other things, statements about:
●
the
availability of capital to satisfy our working capital
requirements;
●
the
accuracy of our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue and
capital requirements;
●
anticipated
trends and challenges in our business and the markets in which we
operate;
●
our
ability to anticipate market needs or develop new or enhanced
products to meet those needs;
●
our
expectations regarding market acceptance of our
products;
●
the success of competing products by others that
are or become available in the market in which we sell our
products ;
●
our ability to protect our confidential
information and intellectual property rights ;
●
our ability to manage expansion into international
markets ;
●
our ability to maintain or broaden our business
relationships and develop new relationships with strategic
alliances, suppliers, customers, distributors or otherwise
;
●
developments
in the U.S. and foreign countries; and
●
other risks and uncertainties, including
those described under
“Risk
Factors” and elsewhere
in this prospectus.
These forward-looking statements are only predictions and we may
not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations
disclosed in our forward-looking statements, so 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 based these forward-looking statements
largely on our current expectations and projections about future
events and trends that we believe may affect our business,
financial condition and operating results. We have included
important factors in the cautionary statements included in this
prospectus, that could cause actual future results or events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make.
Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact
of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures
or investments we may make.
You should read this prospectus, the documents incorporated by
reference herein and the documents that we have filed as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part
completely and with the understanding that our actual future
results may be materially different from what we expect.
We do not assume any obligation to
update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise, except as required by
applicable law.
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement,
we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of
the securities under this prospectus primarily for general
corporate purposes, including research and development,
working capital and capital expenditures. We may use a portion
of the net proceeds to grow our sales force, develop new products,
for capital expenditures, for the expansion of the business and/or
for certain acquisitions. However, we have no current commitments
or obligations to do so. We may set forth additional information on
the use of proceeds from the sale or the securities we offer
under this prospectus in a prospectus supplement relating to the
specific offering. We cannot currently allocate specific
percentages of the net proceeds that we may use for the purposes
specified above. As a result, our management will have broad
discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds. Pending the
application of the net proceeds, we intend to invest the
net proceeds in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing
obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit
or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S.
government.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR
CAPITAL STOCK
General
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
(“Charter”) authorizes us to issue up to 150,000,000
shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and up to
5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per
share.
Transfer Agent
Our
Transfer Agent and Registrar for our common stock is Colonial Stock
Transfer, located at 66 Exchange Place, Suite 100, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84111.
Common Stock
This
section describes the general terms of our common stock that we may
offer from time to time. For more detailed information, a holder of
our common stock should refer to our Charter and Bylaws, copies of which are
filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of
which this prospectus is a part.
As of December 20, 2018, there were 27,364,607 shares of our
common stock issued and outstanding, which were held by
approximately 111 stockholders of record, 5,017,181 shares of
common stock subject to outstanding warrants, 1,967,500 shares of
common stock subject to outstanding stock options under our 2017
Stock Incentive Plan and 100,000 shares of common stock subject to
other outstanding stock options.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in our Charter, or as
required by applicable law, all shares of our common stock have the
same rights and privileges and rank equally, share ratably and are
identical in all respects as to all matters, including, without
limitation, those described below. All outstanding shares of our
common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Voting Rights. The holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters. Pur common stock does not have cumulative voting rights,
which means that holders of the shares of our common stock with a
majority of the votes to be cast for the election of directors can
elect all directors then being elected.
Dividends. Each share of
our common stock has an equal and ratable right to receive
dividends to be paid from our assets legally available therefore
when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors. We have never
declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not
anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock in the
foreseeable future.
Liquidation. In the event
we dissolve, liquidate or wind up, the holders of our common stock
are entitled to share equally and ratably in the assets available
for distribution after payments are made to our creditors and
to the holders of any outstanding preferred stock we may
designate and issue in the future with liquidation preferences
greater than those of our common stock.
Other. The holders of
shares of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription or
redemption rights and are not liable for further call or
assessment. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock
are, and the shares of
common stock offered hereby will be, fully paid and
nonassessable.
Preferred Stock
This section describes the general terms and provisions of our
outstanding shares of preferred stock, as well as preferred stock
that we may offer from time to time. The applicable prospectus
supplement will describe the specific terms of the shares of
preferred stock offered through that prospectus supplement, which
may differ from the terms we describe below. We will file a
copy of the certificate of designation that contains the terms of
each new series of preferred stock with the SEC each time we issue
a new series of preferred stock, and these certificates of
designation will be incorporated by reference into the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each certificate of
designation will establish the number of shares included in a
designated series and fix the designation, powers, privileges,
preferences and rights of the shares of each series as well as any
applicable qualifications, limitations or restrictions. A holder of
our preferred stock should refer to the applicable certificate of
designation, our Charter and the applicable prospectus supplement
(and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to
be provided to you) for more specific information.
As of December 20, 2018, we did not have any shares of preferred
stock issued and outstanding.
Our Board of Directors has the authority, without action by our
stockholders, to designate and issue preferred stock in one or more
series and to designate the rights, preferences and privileges of
each series, which may be greater than the rights of our common
stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the
issuance of any shares of our preferred stock upon the rights of
holders of our common stock until our Board of Directors determines
the specific rights of the holders of our preferred stock. However,
the effects might include, among other things:
●
restricting
dividends on our common stock;
●
diluting
the voting power of our common stock;
●
impairing
the liquidation rights of our common stock; or
●
delaying
or preventing a change in control of our Company without further
action by our stockholders.
A prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any series of
preferred stock being offered, including:
●
the
designation of the shares and the number of shares that constitute
the series;
●
the
dividend rate (or the method of calculation thereof), if any, on
the shares of the series and the priority as to payment of
dividends with respect to other classes or series of our capital
stock and the payment date of dividends;
●
the
dividend periods (or the method of calculation
thereof);
●
the
date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate,
if applicable;
●
the
voting rights of the shares;
●
the
liquidation preference and the priority as to payment of the
liquidation preference with respect to other classes or series of
our capital stock and any other rights of the shares of the series
upon our liquidation or winding-up;
●
whether
the preferred stock will rank senior or junior to or on a parity
with any other class or series of preferred stock;
●
whether
or not and on what terms the shares of the series will be subject
to redemption or repurchase at our option;
●
whether
and on what terms the shares of the series will be convertible into
or exchangeable for other securities;
●
the
provision of a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred
stock;
●
whether
the shares of the series of preferred stock will be listed on a
securities exchange;
●
whether
interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary
shares;
●
the
transfer agent for the series of preferred stock;
●
any
special United States federal income tax considerations applicable
to the series; and
●
any
other preferences and rights and any qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of the preferences and rights of the
series.
The following description, together with the additional information
we include in any applicable prospectus supplements or free writing
prospectus, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the
warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. Warrants may be
offered independently or together with common stock or preferred
stock offered by any prospectus supplement or free writing
prospectus, and may be attached to or separate from those
securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally
apply to any future warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we
will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may
offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement or
free writing prospectus. The terms of any warrants we offer under a
prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus may differ from
the terms we describe below.
In the event that we issue warrants, we will issue the warrants
under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant
agent to be selected by us. Forms of these warrant agreements and
forms of the warrant certificates representing the warrants, and
the complete warrant agreements and forms of warrant certificates
containing the terms of the warrants being offered, will be filed
as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus
is a part or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we
file with the SEC. We use the term “warrant agreement”
to refer to any of these warrant agreements. We use the term
“warrant agent” to refer to the warrant agent under any
of these warrant agreements. The warrant agent will act solely as
an agent of ours in connection with the warrants and will not act
as an agent for the holders or beneficial owners of the
warrants.
The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and
the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their
entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant
agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge
you to read the applicable prospectus supplements or free writing
prospectus related to the warrants that we sell under this
prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements that contain
the terms of the warrants.
General
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement or free
writing prospectus the terms relating to a series of warrants. If
warrants for the purchase of common stock or preferred stock are
offered, the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus will
describe the following terms, to the extent
applicable:
●
the
offering price and the aggregate number of warrants
offered;
●
the
total number of shares that can be purchased if a holder of the
warrants exercises them and, in the case of warrants for preferred
stock, the designation, total number and terms of the series of
preferred stock that can be purchased upon exercise;
●
the
designation and terms of any series of preferred stock with which
the warrants are being offered and the number of warrants being
offered with each share of common stock or preferred
stock;
●
the
date on and after which the holder of the warrants can transfer
them separately from the related common stock;
●
the
number of shares of common stock or preferred stock that can be
purchased if a holder exercises the warrant and the price at which
such common stock or preferred stock may be purchased upon
exercise, including, if applicable, any provisions for changes to
or adjustments in the exercise price and in the securities or other
property receivable upon exercise;
●
the
terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration
of, the warrants;
●
the
date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the
date on which that right expires;
●
federal
income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;
and
●
any
other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of, or
restrictions on, the warrants.
Exercise of Warrants
Each holder of a warrant is entitled to purchase the number of
shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, at
the exercise price described in the applicable prospectus
supplement or free writing prospectus. After the close of business
on the day when the right to exercise terminates (or a later date
if we extend the time for exercise), unexercised warrants will
become void.
A holder of warrants may exercise them by following the general
procedure outlined below:
●
delivering
to the warrant agent the payment required by the applicable
prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus to purchase the
underlying security;
●
properly
completing and signing the reverse side of the warrant certificate
representing the warrants; and
●
delivering
the warrant certificate representing the warrants to the warrant
agent within five business days of the warrant agent receiving
payment of the exercise price.
If you comply with the procedures described above, your warrants
will be considered to have been exercised when the warrant agent
receives payment of the exercise price, subject to the transfer
books for the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrant not
being closed on such date. After you have completed those
procedures and subject to the foregoing, we will, as soon as
practicable, issue and deliver to you the shares of common stock or
preferred stock that you purchased upon exercise. If you exercise
fewer than all of the warrants represented by a warrant
certificate, a new warrant certificate will be issued to you for
the unexercised amount of warrants. Holders of warrants will be
required to pay any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with transferring the underlying securities in
connection with the exercise of the warrants.
Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements
We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent
of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in
the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in
the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the
warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or
desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements
do not materially adversely affect the interests of the holders of
the warrants.
Warrant Adjustments
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement or free writing
prospectus states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number
of securities covered by, a common stock or a preferred stock
warrant will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine
our common stock or preferred stock, as applicable. In addition,
unless the prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus states
otherwise, if we, without receiving payment:
●
issue
capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable
for common stock or preferred stock, or any rights to subscribe
for, purchase or otherwise acquire any of the foregoing, as a
dividend or distribution to holders of our common stock or
preferred stock;
●
pay
any cash to holders of our common stock or preferred stock other
than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings
or other than in accordance with the terms of the preferred
stock;
●
issue
any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or
purchase our indebtedness to holders of our common stock or
preferred stock; or
●
issue
common stock or preferred stock or additional stock or other
securities or property to holders of our common stock or preferred
stock by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of
shares or similar corporate rearrangement,
then the holders of common stock or preferred stock warrants will
be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition
to the securities otherwise receivable upon exercise of the
warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the
amount of stock and other securities and property such holders
would have been entitled to receive had they held the common stock
or preferred stock, as applicable, issuable under the warrants on
the dates on which holders of those securities received or became
entitled to receive such additional stock and other securities and
property.
Except as stated above or as otherwise set forth in the applicable
prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, the exercise
price and number of securities covered by a common stock or
preferred stock warrant, and the amounts of other securities or
property to be received, if any, upon exercise of such warrant,
will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those
securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those
securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those
securities.
Holders of common stock and preferred stock warrants may have
additional rights under the following circumstances:
●
certain
reclassifications, capital reorganizations or changes of the common
stock or preferred stock, as applicable;
●
certain
share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us and
which result in changes of the common stock or preferred stock, as
applicable; or
●
certain
sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all
of our property and assets.
If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common
stock or preferred stock are entitled to receive stock, securities
or other property with respect to or in exchange for their
securities, the holders of the common stock warrants and preferred
stock warrants then outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to
receive, upon exercise of their warrants, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities or property that they would
have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised
their warrants immediately before the transaction.
This section outlines some of the provisions of the units and the
unit agreements. This information may not be complete in all
respects and is qualified entirely by reference to the unit
agreement with respect to the units of any particular series. The
specific terms of any series of units will be described in the
applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus. If so
described in a particular prospectus supplement or free writing
prospectus, the specific terms of any series of units may differ
from the general description of terms presented below.
As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue
units consisting of one or more shares of common stock, shares of
our preferred stock, warrants or any combination of such
securities.
The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the following
terms of any units in respect of which this prospectus is being
delivered:
●
the
terms of the units and of any of the shares of common stock, shares
of preferred stock, or warrants comprising the units, including
whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the
units may be traded separately;
●
a
description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the
units;
●
if
appropriate, a discussion of material U.S. federal income tax
considerations; and
●
a
description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer
or exchange of the units.
DESCRIPTION OF
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND
OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
Certain provisions of Delaware law, our Charter and Bylaws
discussed below may have the effect of making more difficult or
discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover
attempt. These provisions are expected to encourage persons seeking
to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our Board
of Directors. We believe that the benefits of increasing our
ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or
unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company outweigh
the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because
negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of
their terms.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law.
We are subject to Section 203 (“Section 203”) of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the “DGCL”). In general, Section 203 prohibits a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in “business
combination” transactions with any “interested
stockholder” for a period of three years following the time
that the stockholder became an interested stockholder,
unless:
●
prior
to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the
corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an
interested stockholder;
●
upon
consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder
becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder
owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation
outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for
purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the
voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) shares owned by
directors who are also officers of the corporation and shares owned
by employee stock plans in which the employee participants do not
have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held
subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer;
or
●
at
or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business
combination is approved by the Board of Directors and authorized at
an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written
consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested
stockholder.
A “business combination” is defined to include, in
general and subject to exceptions, a merger of the corporation with
the interested stockholder; a sale of 10% or more of the market
value of the corporation’s consolidated assets to the
interested stockholder; certain transactions that result in the
issuance of the corporation’s stock to the interested
stockholder; a transaction that has the effect of increasing the
proportionate share of the corporation’s stock owned by the
interested stockholder; and any receipt by the interested
stockholder of loans, guarantees or other financial benefits
provided by the corporation. An “interested
stockholder” is defined to include, in general and subject to
exceptions, a person that (1) owns 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation, or (2) is an
“affiliate” or “associate” (as defined in
Section 203) of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of
the corporation’s outstanding voting stock at any time within
the prior three year period.
A Delaware corporation may opt out of Section 203 with an express
provision in its original certificate of incorporation or by an
amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws expressly
electing not to be governed by Section 203 and approved by a
majority of its outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of
Section 203. As a result, Section 203 could delay, deter or prevent
a merger, change of control or other takeover of our company that
our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests,
including transactions that might result in a premium being paid
over the market price of our Common Stock, and may also limit the
price that investors are willing to pay in the future for our
Common Stock.
Charter and Bylaws.
Our Charter and Bylaws contain provisions that could make the
acquisition of the Company more difficult by means of a tender
offer, a proxy contest or otherwise. These provisions are
summarized below.
Undesignated Preferred Stock.
The authorization of our undesignated preferred stock makes it
possible for our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock with
voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success
of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions
may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying
changes of control of our management.
Size of Board and Vacancies.
Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in our
authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board of
Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification,
removal or other causes and any newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the number of directors, shall,
unless the Board of Directors determines by resolution that any
such vacancies or newly created directorships shall be filled by
stockholder vote, be filled only by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the directors then in office, even though less than a
quorum of the Board of Directors.
No Cumulative Voting. Our
Charter and Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting in the
election of directors.
Stockholder Meetings. Our
Bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders
may be called only by our President or by our Board of Directors or
by the President at the request of holders of not less than 51% of
all outstanding shares of our voting stock.
We may sell the securities described in this prospectus to or
through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one
or more purchasers. A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any
related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be
provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the
securities, including, to the extent applicable:
●
the
name or names of any underwriters or agents, if
applicable;
●
the
purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive
from the sale;
●
any
over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase
additional securities from us;
●
any
agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting
agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
●
any
public offering price;
●
any
discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
and
●
any
securities exchange or market on which the securities may be
listed.
Only underwriters named in a prospectus supplement are underwriters
of the securities offered by the prospectus
supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the
securities for their own account and may resell the securities from
time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering
price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The
obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be
subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting
agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through
underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by
underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions,
the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the
securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public
offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or
reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may
use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will
describe in the prospectus supplement that names the underwriter,
the nature of any such relationship.
We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from
time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and
sale of securities, and we will describe any commissions we will
pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus
supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts
basis for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by
certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities
from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus
supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for
payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will
describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we
must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus
supplement.
We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against
civil liabilities related to this offering, including liabilities
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities
Act”), or contribution
with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make
with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may
engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the
ordinary course of business.
Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing
transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in
accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). Overallotment
involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short
position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the
underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a
specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of
the securities in the open market after the distribution is
completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the
underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the
securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a
covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may
cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would
otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of
the activities at any time.
Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on the Nasdaq
Capital Market may engage in passive market making transactions in
accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during the business day
prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of
offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must
comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be
identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market
maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest
independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are
lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the
passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain
purchase limits are exceeded.
Certain legal matters in connection with this offering will be
passed upon for us by Disclosure Law Group, a Professional
Corporation, of San Diego, California.

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 have

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
(“Charter”) and Bylaws contain provisions relating to
the limitation of liability and indemnification of directors and
officers. Our Charter provides that a director will not be
personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability:
●
for
any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our
stockholders;
●
for
acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
●
under Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (the “DGCL”); or
●
for
any transaction from which the director derived any improper
personal benefit.
Our Charter also provides that if the DGCL is amended to authorize
corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal
liability of directors, then the liability of our directors will be
eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL.
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and
officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the DGCL;
provided,
however, that we may limit the
extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our
directors and executive officers; and provided, further, that we
are not required to indemnify any director or executive officer in
connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
person or any proceeding by such person against us or our
directors, officers, employees or other agents
unless:
●
such
indemnification is expressly required to be made by
law;
●
the
proceeding was authorized by the board of directors;
or
●
such
indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant
to the powers vested in us under the DGCL.
Our Bylaws provide that we shall advance, prior to the final
disposition of any proceeding, promptly following request therefor,
all expenses by any director or executive officer in connection
with any such proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on
behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be
determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to e
indemnified under Article XI of our Bylaws or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined, no
advance shall be made by us if a determination is reasonably and
promptly made by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a
quorum of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or if
such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable, a quorum of
disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in
a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making
party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly
and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner
that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our
best interests.
Our Bylaws also authorize us to purchase insurance on behalf of any
person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to our
Bylaws.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to indemnify
any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a
party, to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the
corporation), by reason of the fact that the person is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if the person
acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed
to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was
unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides in relevant part that a
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to
procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the
person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a
manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or
matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was
brought shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of
the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
The DGCL also provides that indemnification under Section 145(d)
can only be made upon a determination that indemnification of the
present or former director, officer or employee or agent is proper
in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable
standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and
(b).
Section 145(g) of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a
director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability
asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any
such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to
indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of
the DGCL.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to
provide for eliminating or limiting the personal liability of one
of its directors for any monetary damages related to a breach of
fiduciary duty as a director, as long as the corporation does not
eliminate or limit the liability of a director for acts or
omissions which (1) which breached the director’s duty of
loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) which were not
in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing
violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL; or (4) from
which the director derived an improper personal
benefit.
We have obtained directors’ and officers’ insurance to
cover our directors and officers for certain
liabilities.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
(i) To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the
effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to
such information in the registration statement; provided,
however, that paragraphs (i),
(ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by
the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration
statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
(4) That,
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If
the Registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the
date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and
(B)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2),
(b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance
on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the
information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933
shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration
statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is
first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As
provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any
person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be
deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement
relating to the securities in the registration statement to which
that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective
date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the
registration statement or made in any such document immediately
prior to such effective date; or
(ii) If
the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed
pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying
on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule
430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the
registration statement as of the date it is first used after
effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the
registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement
or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of
first use.
(5) That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the
undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities
to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
(i) Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
(ii) Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on
behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the
undersigned registrant;
(iii) The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the
offering containing material information about the undersigned
registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the
undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6)
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference
in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of each Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, each Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
a Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of a 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, that 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on 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 Las Vegas, State of Nevada, on December 21, 2018.
