Corporate Overview
Overview
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“AgriFORCE™” or the “Company”) was incorporated as a private company by Articles of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on December 22, 2017. The Company’s registered and records office address is at 800 – 525 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V5Z 1C6.
Our Business
During 2024, the Company entered the sustainable Bitcoin mining industry and has completed two acquisitions since late November 2024 pursuant to which the Company now owns and operates three Bitcoin mining facilities, one in Alberta, Canada and two in Ohio, for a total of 1420 BITMAIN Antminer S19j units, 81 BITMAIN Antminer S19k Pro units and 50 BITMAIN Antminer S21 XP units. These facilities are powered by sustainable energy, advancing AgriFORCE’s mission to integrate innovative technologies that promote environmental stewardship while generating significant financial returns.
The addition in 2024 of sustainable Bitcoin mining represents the first pillar in the Company’s three pillar strategy to:
● | Utilize its modular architecture to mine crypto currency, as well as to offer compute capabilities tailored for AI, edge computing, and sovereign data solutions; | |
● | Continue developing and deploying mobile modular gas-to-power units for off-grid scalability, securing access to sizeable amounts of power; and | |

AgriFORCE™ Brands
UN(THINK)™ Foods
The Company purchased Intellectual Property (“IP”) from Manna Nutritional Group, LLC (“Manna”), a privately held firm based in Boise, Idaho on September 10, 2021. The IP encompasses a granted patent to naturally process and convert grain, pulses and root vegetables, resulting in low-starch, low-sugar, high-protein, fiber-rich baking flour as well as produces a natural sweetener juice. The core process is covered under Patent Nr. 11,540,538 in the U.S. and key international markets. The all-natural process is designed to unlock nutritional properties, flavors, and other qualities in a range of modern, ancient and heritage grains, pulses and root vegetables to create specialized all-natural baking and all-purpose flours, sweeteners, juices, naturally sweet cereals and other valuation products, providing numerous opportunities for dietary nutritional, performance and culinary applications.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company achieved milestones towards the commercialization of our UN(THINK) Awakened Flour™, the Company’s first line of products to utilize the IP. Management has defined and tested its quality controls and safety protocols for production, and produced several multi-ton batches of germinated grains, refining and scaling production processes with our partners in Canada. We are also in the process of qualifying partners in the US to establish additional production hubs – at no additional CAPEX - which will support growth and reduce logistics costs for customers in the region. Additionally, we have established our supply chain logistics with a contracted shipping company and two warehouses in Canada and the US. Our commercial team made progress in defining pricing and is starting to approach US and Canadian Bakeries and Baked Goods Companies who are now testing our new flours for integration into their manufacturing operations and innovation pipeline. Online sales logistics and advertising materials were developed during the period to support the establishment of the direct-to-consumer sales channel which will be started once the Business to Business channel sales ramp up. Lastly, the Company has developed an extensive number of recipes for the application of Awakened Flour™ product line for both customers and consumers.
The Company is developing several finished product prototypes including a line of pancake mixes, which are ready for consumer testing.
Wheat and Flour Market
Modern diet is believed to be a contributor to health risks such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity, due in part to the consumption of highly processed foods that are low in natural fiber, protein and nutrition; and extremely high in simple starch, sugar and calories. These “empty carbs” produce glycemic swings that may cause overeating by triggering cravings for food high in sugar, salt and starch. As an example, conventional baking flour is low in natural fiber (~ 2-3%), low-to-average in protein (~ 9%), and very high in starch (~ 75%)(4). Apart from dietary fiber, whole flour is only marginally better in terms of these macronutrients (2).
In contrast, foods high in fiber help to satiate hunger, suppress cravings and raise metabolism(3). They also assist in weight loss, lower cholesterol, and may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes(4).
Advantages of the UN(THINK)™ Foods IP
Our Controlled Enzymatic Reaction & Endothermic Saccharification with Managed Natural Germination (“CERES-MNG”) patented process allows for the development and manufacturing of all-natural flours that are significantly higher in fibers, nutrients and proteins and significantly lower in carbohydrates and calories than standard baking flour.

BUSINESS PLAN
The Company also looks to expand its efforts into development of blockchain solutions and the implementation of these solutions into FinTech systems to allow quicker and less costly transactions between commercial farmers.
The Company continues to explore opportunities to utilize its patented FORCEGH+™ structure and its related technologies in joint ventures and licensing. The Company is also studying the utilization of FORCEGH+ technologies in arctic, tropical and desert environments and artificial intelligence and blockchain in the development and implementation of FinTech systems to commercial farmers, and advancing on the commercialization of our Hydroxyl clean room systems to greatly reduce the spread of pathogens, mold and disease at processing facilities worldwide.
Through the first half of 2025, the Company has been aggressively pursuing a strategic shift towards the advancement of sustainable technology initiatives through the acquisition of Bitcoin mining facilities. The Company plans to reduce the environmental impact of the Bitcoin mining facilities while simultaneously producing revenue from high yield agricultural operations. By utilizing an integrated and automated onsite carbon sequestering agricultural operation to reuse the waste energy from the natural gas generators used in the Bitcoin mining operation, the Company aims to reduce carbon emissions while also contributing to local food security and economic growth. In addition, the Company intends to generate immediate shareholder value through the generation of Bitcoins from the mining operation.

Merger and Acquisition (“M&A”)
The Company intends to focus any M&A activity on targets which are focused the bitcoin mining space. This refocused M&A strategy will ensure that proper personnel and economic resources are allocated to the Company’s ongoing businesses, while refocusing efforts on synergistic opportunities which work to enhance the Company’s existing assets.
Sustainable Bitcoin Mining
As of the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into the sustainable Bitcoin mining industry and has completed two acquisitions since late November 2024 pursuant to which the Company now owns and operates three Bitcoin mining facilities, one in Alberta, Canada and two in Ohio, for a total of 1,522 BITMAIN Antminer S19j units, 81 BITMAIN Antminer S19k Pro units and 50 BITMAIN Antminer S21 XP units. These facilities are powered by sustainable energy, advancing AgriFORCE’s mission to integrate innovative technologies that promote environmental stewardship while generating significant financial returns.
As we approach a key milestone in the progression of our growth strategy it is important to clarify how our adoption of an innovative combination of technologies will reduce the environmental impact of data centers while simultaneously producing revenue from high yield agricultural operations. We utilize our new data centers to leverage energy generated from flare natural gas-powered operations to increase the environmental mitigation and revenue potential of integrated cogeneration sites.
While benefiting from Alberta’s strong incentive programs, i.e., the Alberta Carbon Capture Incentive Program, the Company hopes to reuse waste resources to produce profit from cryptocurrency mining, Alberta carbon credits for carbon sequestration and methane reduction. Since the acquisition, the Company’s process captures natural gas flares to generate significant low-cost energy to operate the cryptocurrency mining rigs. We are developing a plan to capture and redirect heat from miners and the generator to warm an enclosure suitable for growing white-legged shrimp (Penaeus Vannamei), and controlled environment agriculture. The facility will then be utilized to produce a continuous supply of fresh shrimp, red seaweed and micro-greens for local markets and restaurants. Micro-greens are a fast-growing, nutrient-dense crop that requires relatively little space and water to produce commercial yields, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The facility, powered by an on-site generator, utilizing flared gas, integrates carbon capture and heat reuse technologies to support the cultivation of premium crops and aquaculture. Targeted products include white-legged shrimp, nutrient-dense micro-greens, and high-demand red seaweed—key contributors to food security and economic development in the region. These sustainable practices are designed to offset the greenhouse gas emissions associated with high-energy Bitcoin mining, demonstrating a model for future growth.
On November 28, 2024, AgriFORCE Growing Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an agreement with Rivogenix Energy Corp. to acquire and consummated the acquisition of various assets which comprise a bitcoin mining facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. The assets were acquired for $1.5 million in cash from the Company’s own available cashflow and are comprised of a data center and approximately 130 bitcoin miners.
On January 17, 2025, AgriForce Growing Systems, Ltd. (the “Company”) purchased assets comprising a five MW Bitcoin mining facility (on two sites) in Columbiana County Ohio (the “Facility”) from Bald Eagle County, LLC. The asset purchase price (including purchase of an option to purchase the Facility) was $4.55 million. The assets purchased consist of following assets, inter alia: Nine hundred (900) S-19 J Pro BITMAIN Antminers, transformers necessary to operate the Facility, five (5) custom 40 ft Crypto Canman housing containers including 5 power distribution boxes, one Caterpillar trailer mounted standby generator, one Doosan trailer mounted generator set, eight shipping containers and five 1 MW natural gas generator power plants. The Company also received assignment of power purchase agreements to purchase gas at $0.04 per kWh and access leases to the realty underlying the Facility.
These acquisitions represented a pivotal first step in AgriFORCE’s commitment to integrating sustainable energy solutions, advanced data operations, and innovative agricultural initiatives to create long-term value for shareholders.
Utilizing energy derived from flare natural gas, these facilities not only generate consistent revenue but also minimizes their environmental footprint. Plans are in place to enhance operations by repurposing waste heat and implementing carbon capture technology, enabling diversified revenue streams through sustainable agricultural practices, such as premium crop cultivation and aquaculture systems.

The majority of the mined assets have been held on the Company’s balance sheet, as the starting point of the Company’s Bitcoin treasury strategy. We have only sold two (2) BTC to provide the Company with the necessary cash for maintaining operations. The Company is in the process of developing a written policy to govern the cold-storage and liquidation process for selling and borrowing using our bitcoin assets. As of now, the Company holds all of its bitcoin in a BitGo wallet. There is limited risk in volatility at present in bitcoin pricing due to our policy of holding bitcoin for the long term. We intent to continue to hold up to 50% of the mined assets as we continue to build upon our treasury strategy. In May 2025, we borrowed $200,000 at an interest rate of 11% per annum for 90 days, utilizing three (3) BTC as collateral for the loan. We estimate that the increase in value of the collateral will far exceed the interest costs associated with this loan.
We have an agreement with BitGo to hold our Bitcoin in cold storage with instantaneous liquidity available. They will also act as our exchange.
Our miners have an average age of three years in all of our facilities. Statistics on our miners are as follows:
Efficiency: median: 99.86%; mean: 99.58%; range: 99.26 – 99.9%. Our average downtime for scheduled and nonscheduled is 24 hours in a month. This includes activities related to weather and optimization of the power units and miner boards.
Our weighted average of cost of Bitcoin mined is approximately $44,400. Our approximate inputs are as follows:
Alberta:
We have optimized this site since we acquired it in November 2024 and now generate approximately 0.017 BTC per day, generating 1 BTC every 59 days at an average operating cost of $685.10/day. So, the cost for 1 BTC is approximately $40,300 at this site
Ohio:
We generate approximately 0.061 BTC per day, generating 1 BTC every 16.4 days at an average cost of $2,785/day, so the Ohio cost is $45,600/BTC mined.
A weighted average of the two sites puts the total cost of approximately $44,400 per BTC mined.
Financing Initiatives
In late January 2025, the Company also closed on the first tranche of an up to $50 million financing facility with institutional investors. The Company utilized a portion of the first $7 million tranche to pay for the acquisition of the Ohio assets.
This acquisition increased the Company’s hash rate by over 600% and highlights the Company’s strategic growth plan of stranded gas assets to be coupled with sustainable agricultural assets in the coming months. Ohio has positioned itself as a pioneer in blockchain and cryptocurrency innovation, driven by initiatives like the proposed Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act (HB 703). This legislation, aimed at leveraging Bitcoin as a hedge against currency devaluation, underscores the state’s commitment to financial and technological advancements. AgriFORCE’s investment in the Columbiana County facility aligns with these efforts, cementing Ohio’s reputation as a leader in clean energy integration and digital asset development.
Economic and Social Benefits
The facility’s operations are expected to generate meaningful economic benefits for Ohio, including:
● Job Creation: The project will create new opportunities in advanced technology and sustainable agriculture, addressing workforce development needs in the region.
● Enhanced Food Security: By implementing agricultural practices that produce nutrient-rich crops, AgriFORCE will contribute to addressing food insecurity challenges in Ohio, where over 14% of households face such issues.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, any related free writing prospectus and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, or any updates in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all of the other information appearing in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being offered. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as described in the applicable prospectus supplement or in any free-writing prospectuses we have authorized for use in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus, if any, to purchase additional Bitcoin Mining servers, and for general corporate purposes, including strategic acquisitions, joint ventures, expansion of existing assets, and repayment of debt and other outstanding obligations.
The amounts and timing of our use of the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this prospectus will depend on a number of factors, such as the timing and progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and progress of any partnering and commercialization efforts, technological advances and the competitive environment for our products. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from the sale of securities under this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement.

Holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s common stock has no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the Company’s common stock.

General
The Company’s articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of “blank check” preferred stock, no par value per share, in one or more series, of which no shares were outstanding as of June 30, 2025, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by the stockholders. Each such series of preferred stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.
Preferred stock is available for possible future financings or acquisitions and for general corporate purposes without further authorization of stockholders unless such authorization is required by applicable law, the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market or other securities exchange or market on which our stock is then listed or admitted to trading.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.
A prospectus supplement relating to any series of preferred stock being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. Such prospectus supplement will include:
● | the title and stated or par value of the preferred stock; | |
● | the number of shares of the preferred stock offered, the liquidation preference per share and the offering price of the preferred stock; | |
● | the dividend rate(s), period(s) and/or payment date(s) or method(s) of calculation thereof applicable to the preferred stock; | |
● | whether dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends on the preferred stock shall accumulate; | |
● | the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, for the preferred stock; | |
● | any voting rights of the preferred stock; | |
● | the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock; | |

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants for the purchase of preferred stock or common stock. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any preferred stock or common stock, and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between a warrant agent specified in the agreement and us. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants of that series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. This summary of some provisions of the securities warrants is not complete. You should refer to the securities warrant agreement, including the forms of securities warrant certificate representing the securities warrants, relating to the specific securities warrants being offered for the complete terms of the securities warrant agreement and the securities warrants. The securities warrant agreement, together with the terms of the securities warrant certificate and securities warrants, will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offering of the specific warrants.

Agents, underwriters, and dealers may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Our agents, underwriters, and dealers, or their affiliates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
Sale through Underwriters or Dealers
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.
If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.
We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.
11 |
Continuous Offering Program
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the Nasdaq Capital Market at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.
Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.
Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Jolie Kahn, Esq. of New York, NY. If certain legal matters in connection with an offering of the securities covered by this prospectus and a related prospectus supplement are passed upon by counsel for the underwriters, if any, of such offering, that counsel will be named in the related prospectus supplement for such offering.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Our bylaws, as amended, provide to the fullest extent permitted by British Columbia law, that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages arising from the performance of such director’s or officer’s duties. The effect of this provision of our bylaws, as amended, is to eliminate our right and our shareholders’ rights (through shareholders’ derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover damages against a director or officer arising from the performance of such director’s or officer’s duties, except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our bylaws, as amended, are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

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, Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) 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) 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
(ii) 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-3 |
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The registrant hereby undertakes that for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The registrant hereby undertakes that:
