Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation filed a shelf registration on Form S-3 enabling the company to offer up to $1,000,000,000 of securities from time to time, including Class A common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, rights, purchase contracts and units. The prospectus describes the company as a location-based entertainment operator (bowling, upscale entertainment concepts, Octane Raceway, Raging Waves) and states Class A common stock trades on the NYSE under LUCK. The filing discloses capital structure and voting: 2.0B authorized Class A, 200M Class B, 200M preferred; as of August 21, 2025 there were 81,695,761 Class A shares, 58,519,437 Class B shares and 117,087 preferred shares outstanding. Class B shares carry 10 votes per share and are generally held/controlled by Thomas F. Shannon; specified events trigger automatic conversion to Class A. Preferred shares accrue cumulative dividends at an annual rate of 5.5%. The prospectus incorporates by reference recent SEC reports and emphasizes risk factors, possible uses of proceeds (repurchases, debt repayment, working capital, capex, acquisitions) and detailed descriptions of securities and indenture terms.

Positive

Shelf registration up to $1,000,000,000 provides clear capacity to raise capital across multiple securities types
Detailed disclosure of security terms (debt indenture features, preferred dividend rate, conversion mechanics) aids investor transparency
Permitted use of proceeds includes debt repayment, which could improve leverage if utilized

Negative

Multi-class stock structure concentrates voting power (Class B: 10 votes/share largely held by CEO Thomas F. Shannon)
Anti-takeover provisions and supermajority thresholds may limit minority stockholder influence and potential change-of-control transactions
Preferred stock outstanding with cumulative 5.5% dividend represents a fixed cash obligation and ranks senior to common stock on liquidation

Insights

TL;DR: Shelf gives Lucky Strike immediate capacity to raise up to $1.0 billion across equity and debt, providing significant financing flexibility.

The Form S-3 shelf is a standard but material corporate finance tool: it permits Lucky Strike to issue multiple security types up to an aggregate initial offering price of $1,000,000,000, enabling opportunistic capital raises for debt reduction, growth projects or acquisitions without filing a new registration each time. The prospectus explicitly lists permitted uses of proceeds (repurchases, debt repayment, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions). The filing also sets clear mechanics for debt issuance (indenture with U.S. Bank Trust Company as trustee) and for preferred stock terms including a 5.5% cumulative dividend rate and limited outstanding preferred shares. For investors and analysts, the shelf materially increases the company’s financing optionality but does not by itself indicate timing, size, or pricing of any issuance.

TL;DR: The filing reconfirms a dual-class structure concentrating voting control with CEO Thomas F. Shannon, with automatic conversion conditions defined.

The prospectus details a multi-class capital structure: Class B shares carry ten votes each and are structured to be held by Thomas F. Shannon (or related trusts/entities) with automatic conversion triggers (including ceasing to beneficially own at least 10% of common stock, death/disability, termination for cause, or December 15, 2036). The certificate provisions grant long-tenured governance protections (supermajority removal thresholds, limits on stockholder actions, exclusive forum selection, indemnification and anti-takeover features). These provisions are expressly described and have direct governance implications for minority stockholders by concentrating voting control and limiting certain stockholder-initiated actions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

The following summary of the material terms of our securities is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The descriptions below are qualified by reference to the actual text of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (as amended, the “certificate of incorporation”) and amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”). We urge you to read our certificate of incorporation and bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities.

Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 2,400,000,000 shares of all classes of Lucky Strike’s capital stock, consisting of:

•

2,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share;

•

200,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”); and

•

200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “preferred stock”).

As of August 21, 2025, there were 81,695,761 issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, 58,519,437 issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock and 117,087 issued and outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Common Stock

We have two classes of authorized common stock: Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Generally, Class B common stock can only be issued to, transferred to, and held by Thomas F. Shannon, or trusts or legal entities through which the right to vote the shares of Class B common stock held thereby is exercised exclusively by Mr. Shannon. Each outstanding share of Class B common stock will automatically convert into one share of Class A common stock upon the earliest to occur of: (i) Mr. Shannon ceasing to beneficially own at least 10% of Lucky Strike common stock outstanding at such time, (ii) the death or disability of Mr. Shannon, (iii) the employment of Mr. Shannon as the Chief Executive of Lucky Strike being terminated for cause and (iv) December 15, 2036.

Voting Rights

Class A Common Stock

Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A common stock held of record by such holder on all matters voted upon by stockholders.

Class B Common Stock

Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of Class B common stock held of record by such holder on all matters voted upon by stockholders.

Stockholder Votes

Holders of Lucky Strike common stock and preferred stock generally vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of Lucky Strike’s stockholders (including the election and removal of directors), unless otherwise provided in Lucky Strike’s certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law. Any action or matter submitted to a vote of Lucky Strike’s stockholders will be approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action or matter exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action or matter, except that Lucky Strike’s directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Holders of Class A common stock are not entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of Lucky Strike’s directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Delaware law could require holders of a class of Lucky Strike’s capital stock to vote separately as a class on any proposed amendment of Lucky Strike’s certificate of corporation if the amendment would increase or decrease the par value of the shares of that class or would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of that class in a manner that affects them adversely.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The certificate of incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, signed by the holders of the outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action, is delivered to the Company as described in the certificate of incorporation. This right will endure until the first time in which the issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock represent less than 50% of the total voting power of Lucky Strike’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors at an annual meeting of stockholders (the “Voting Threshold Time”).

Special Meetings of Stockholders

The certificate of incorporation provides that, except as otherwise required by applicable law, special meetings of Lucky Strike’s stockholders may be called by our board of directors, the Chairperson of our board of directors, Lucky Strike’s Chief Executive Officer or President, or, until the Voting Threshold Time, the holders of shares representing a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lucky Strike.

Economic Rights

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Lucky Strike’s certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law, shares of each class of Lucky Strike common stock has the same rights, powers and preferences and rank equally, share ratably and be identical in all respects as to all matters, including the following:

Dividends and Distributions; Rights upon Liquidation

Subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, the holders of shares of each class of Lucky Strike common stock are entitled to receive ratably, on a per share basis, any dividend or distribution (including upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Lucky Strike) paid by Lucky Strike, except that, if a dividend or distribution is paid in the form of shares (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares) of Lucky Strike common stock, then holders of Class A common stock will receive shares (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares) of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will receive shares (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares) of Class B common stock.

Subdivisions, Combinations and Reclassifications

If Lucky Strike subdivides or combines any class of Lucky Strike common stock with any other class of Lucky Strike common stock, subject to the rights of holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, then each class of Lucky Strike common stock must be subdivided or combined in the same proportion and manner.

Conversion

Optional Conversion

Holders of Class B common stock will have the right to convert shares of their Class B common stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A common stock, on a one-to-one basis, at the option of the holder at any time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Conversion Policies and Procedures

Lucky Strike may establish from time to time certain restrictions, policies and procedures relating to the general administration of its multi-class structure and the conversion of Class B common stock to Class A common stock.

Registration Rights

Certain stockholders are party to an amended and restated registration rights agreement with Lucky Strike (f/k/a Bowlero Corp.), dated as of July 1, 2021 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), that grants such stockholders the right to require, subject to certain conditions and limitations, that Lucky Strike register for resale securities held by such stockholders and certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registrations initiated by Lucky Strike. Certain PIPE investors also hold registration rights pursuant to PIPE subscription agreements. On January 31, 2022, Lucky Strike’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “S-1 Registration Statement”) was declared effective, pursuant to which the stockholders who are party to the Registration Rights Agreement may resell such shares of Class A Common Stock without restriction under the Securities Act. On December 22, 2022, Lucky Strike filed a post-effective amendment to the S-1 Registration Statement to convert the S-1 Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3 Registration Statement”). The S-3 Registration Statement was declared effective on December 28, 2022.

Other Rights

Lucky Strike’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for any preemptive or subscription rights with respect to Lucky Strike common stock, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to Lucky Strike common stock. All the shares of Lucky Strike common stock outstanding as of August 21, 2025 have been validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Preferred Stock

Lucky Strike’s certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to issue up to an aggregate of 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series from time to time by resolution, without further action by Lucky Strike’s stockholders, and to fix the powers (which may include full, limited or no voting power), designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, if any, of the shares of each such series (which rights may be greater than the rights of any or all of the classes of Lucky Strike common stock) and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereto. The issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our Class A common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments or payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action.

As of August 21, 2025, 117,087 shares of Preferred Stock have been issued and are outstanding.

Dividends

Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by our board of directors, out of funds legally available for such dividends, cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 5.5% on the stated amount per share plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on such share, accumulating on a daily basis and payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31, respectively, in each

TABLE OF CONTENTS

year. Such a dividend will accumulate, whether or not declared. Any dividends not paid in cash will be added to the liquidation value of the Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Preferred Stock are also entitled to such dividends paid to holders of Lucky Strike common stock to the same extent as if such holders of Preferred Stock had converted their shares of Preferred Stock into Lucky Strike common stock (without regard to any limitations on conversions) and had held such shares of Lucky Strike common stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Such payments will be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of the Lucky Strike common stock.

Voting Rights

Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class with the holders of Lucky Strike common stock, with each such holder entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of votes such holder would have been entitled to cast if such holder were the holder of a number of shares of Lucky Strike common stock equal to the whole number of shares of Lucky Strike common stock that would be issuable upon conversion of such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock.

So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, a vote or the consent of at least two holders not affiliated with each other, representing a majority of the Preferred Stock will be required for (i) effecting or validating any amendment, modification or alteration to the certificate of incorporation that would authorize or create, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series or any securities convertible into shares of any class or series of capital stock that would rank senior or pari passu to the Preferred Stock with respect to dividend payments or upon the occurrence of a liquidation, (ii) effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal or change to the rights, preferences, or privileges of the Preferred Stock, (iii) effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws that would have an adverse effect on the rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of Preferred Stock or the holders thereof in any material respect, or (iv) any action or inaction that would constitute a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Certificate of Designations filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 15, 2021, as amended (the “Certificate of Designations”)), with certain exceptions.

Liquidation

Upon liquidation, Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Lucky Strike common stock and will have the right to be paid, out of the assets of the Company legally available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) per share of Preferred Stock.

Other Rights

Lucky Strike has a right to effect a mandatory conversion of Preferred Stock if the last reported price per share of the Lucky Strike common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price on each of at least 20 trading days during a 30-day consecutive trading days period.

Election, Appointment and Removal of Directors

At all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, each director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast with respect to the director.

The certificate of incorporation provides that subject to the stockholders agreement, by and among Isos Acquisition Corporation (as predecessor to Lucky Strike), A-B Parent LLC (“Atairos”), Mr. Shannon and Atairos Group, Inc., and the special rights of the holders of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock to elect directors, the board of directors or any individual director may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, but only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 and 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in an election of directors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The certificate of incorporation provides that vacant directorships, including vacancies resulting from any increase in the total number of directors constituting the board of directors, may be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors comprising the board of directors then in office.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws

The certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that may delay, discourage or impede efforts by another person or entity to acquire control of Lucky Strike. We believe that these provisions, which are summarized below, will discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons or entities seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with the board of directors, which we believe may result in improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of Lucky Strike’s stockholders. However, these provisions also give the board of directors the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and our preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing standards of the securities exchange on which Lucky Strike’s equity securities are then listed for trading. These additional shares of capital stock may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including growth acquisitions, corporate finance transactions, and issuances under our equity incentive plan and employer stock purchase plan. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved capital stock could discourage or impede an attempt to obtain control of Lucky Strike by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws

The Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), generally provides that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable, imposes a higher voting standard.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that certain provisions thereof may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed only upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lucky Strike. Such provisions include those relating to (i) the multi-class structure of Lucky Strike’s common stock, (ii) the board of directors (including their election, appointment and removal), (iii) meetings of stockholders, (iv) indemnification of directors and liability of directors, (v) Lucky Strike’s waiver of the corporate opportunity doctrine, (vi) forum selection, (vii) election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL and (viii) amendment provision.

Our bylaws provide that the bylaws may be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the board of directors or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lucky Strike.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes of control of Lucky Strike or its management such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of Lucky Strike and to reduce Lucky Strike’s vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. These provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for Lucky Strike’s shares and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of Lucky Strike’s shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

Multi-Class Structure

As described above, the certificate of incorporation provides for a multi-class stock structure, which will give Lucky Strike’s founder and Chief Executive Officer and certain of his affiliated entities and trusts,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

for so long as they continue to collectively beneficially own shares representing a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Lucky Strike, significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of Lucky Strike’s directors and significant corporate transactions, such as a merger or other sale of Lucky Strike or all or substantially all of its assets.

Special Meetings of Stockholders, Action by Written Consent, and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals

Special Meetings of Stockholders

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Advance Notice Requirement for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

The bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of stockholders, including proposed nominations of candidates for election to the board of directors. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting (and thereby considered or acted upon at such meeting), a stockholder will have to comply with certain advance notice requirements and provide Lucky Strike with certain information. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be permitted to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting who is entitled to vote at the meeting and has delivered a timely notice, in the form and manner specified in the bylaws, of such stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting. These provisions might preclude Lucky Strike’s stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating candidates for election to the board of directors, or might discourage or impede an attempt by a potential acquirer of Lucky Strike to conduct a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise obtain control of Lucky Strike.

Business Combinations

Lucky Strike has elected not to be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation will not be permitted to engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years following the time that such interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

•

prior to such time, 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 which 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 outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

at or subsequent to such time 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 662∕3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three years owned, 15% or more of Lucky Strike’s outstanding voting stock. For purposes of this section only, “voting stock” has the meaning given to it in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Because Lucky Strike has opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL in the certificate of incorporation, Section 203 of the DGCL will not apply to Lucky Strike. However, the certificate of incorporation includes a provision containing substantially similar restrictions as Section 203 of the DGCL, except that (i) Mr. Shannon and Atairos, (ii) each of their respective affiliates and successors and (iii) any “group,” and any member of any such group, to which any such persons described in clauses (i) or (ii) are a party under Rule 13d-5 of the Exchange Act will not be “interested stockholders.”

Exclusive Forum

The certificate of incorporation provides that, unless Lucky Strike otherwise consents in writing, the Chancery Court (or, in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, another court of the State of Delaware or, if no court of the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, then the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of Lucky Strike, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder of Lucky Strike to Lucky Strike or any of Lucky Strike’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the “internal affairs doctrine.”

The certificate of incorporation’s exclusive forum provisions do not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and stockholders of corporations for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (as currently in effect or as it may in the future be amended), the personal liability of Lucky Strike’s directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

The certificate of incorporation and the bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL (as currently in effect or as it may in the future be amended), Lucky Strike must indemnify and hold harmless and advance expenses to any of its directors and officers who is involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of Lucky Strike or, while serving as a director or officer of Lucky Strike, is or was serving at the request of Lucky Strike as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity. Lucky Strike also is authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for Lucky Strike’s directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. Lucky Strike believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuits against Lucky Strike’s directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against Lucky Strike’s directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Lucky Strike and its stockholders. In addition, your investment in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Lucky Strike may be adversely affected to the extent that Lucky Strike pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of Lucky Strike’s directors, officers, or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Corporate Opportunities

The certificate of incorporation provides for the renouncement by Lucky Strike of any interest or expectancy of Lucky Strike in, or being offered an opportunity to participate, in any matter, transaction, or interest that is presented to, or acquired, created, or developed by, or which otherwise comes into the possession of, any director of Lucky Strike who is also a director, officer, principal, partner, member, manager, employee, agent and/or other representative of Atairos and its related parties, unless such matter, transaction, or interest is presented to, or acquired, created, or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, that director first in that director’s capacity as a director of Lucky Strike.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, Lucky Strike’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of Lucky Strike. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of Lucky Strike’s stockholders may bring an action in Lucky Strike’s name to procure a judgment in Lucky Strike’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of Lucky Strike’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of the terms of the debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which these general provisions may apply to those debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the prospectus supplement relating thereto and to the following description.

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series. The debt securities will be general obligations of Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation. The debt securities may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a secured or unsecured senior or subordinated basis, jointly and severally, by guarantors, if any. In the event that any series of debt securities will be subordinated to other indebtedness that we have outstanding or may incur, the terms of the subordination will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the subordinated debt securities. Debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. A copy of the form of indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement filed with the SEC. The following discussion of certain provisions of the indenture is a summary only and should not be considered a complete description of the terms and provisions of the indenture. Accordingly, the following discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the indenture, including the definition of certain terms used below. You should refer to the indenture for the complete terms of the debt securities.

may be issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount or at a premium or discount;

•

may be issued in registered or bearer form and certificated or uncertificated form; and

may be represented by one or more global debt securities registered in the name of a designated depositary’s nominee, and if so, beneficial interests in the global note will be shown on and transfers will be made only through records maintained by the designated depositary and its participants.

The aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may authenticate and deliver is unlimited. Subject to limitations contained in the indenture, we may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of a series of debt securities, issue additional debt securities of any such series on the same terms and conditions as the debt securities of such series, except for any differences in the issue price and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and interest payment date; provided that if the additional debt securities are not fungible with the debt securities of such series for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional debt securities will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers.

•

debt securities with respect to which principal or interest is payable in a foreign or composite currency;

•

debt securities that are issued at a discount below their stated principal amount, bearing no interest or interest at a rate that at the time of issuance is below market rates or original issue discount debt securities; and

•

variable rate debt securities that are exchangeable for fixed rate debt securities.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, securities in registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the office of the trustee at which its corporate trust business is principally administered in the United States, subject to the limitations provided in the indenture, without the payment of any service charge, other than any tax or governmental charge payable in connection therewith. Securities in bearer form will be transferable only by delivery. Provisions with respect to the exchange of securities in bearer form will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities in bearer form.

All funds that we pay to a paying agent for the payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to any debt securities that remain unclaimed at the end of two years after that principal, premium or interest will have become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holders of those debt securities or any related coupons will thereafter look only to us for payment thereof.

Global Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities. A global security is a debt security that represents, and is denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all outstanding debt securities of a series, or any portion thereof, in either case having the same terms, including the same original issue date, date or dates on which principal and interest are due, and interest rate or method of determining interest. A global security will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary, which will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. Global securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual debt securities represented thereby, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to a nominee of the depositary, by a nominee of the depositary to the depositary or another nominee of the depositary, or by the depositary or any nominee of the depositary to a successor depositary or any nominee of such successor.

The terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will generally apply to depositary arrangements, in all cases subject to any restrictions or limitations described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary for such global security will credit, on its book entry registration and transfer system, the respective principal amounts of the individual debt securities represented by such global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with the depositary. Such accounts will be designated by the dealers or underwriters with respect to such debt securities or, if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by us or through one or more agents, by us or such agents. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to participants or persons that hold beneficial interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary (with respect to interests of participants) or records maintained by participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limitations and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a global security.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

So long as the depositary for a global security, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of such global security, such depositary or nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the individual debt securities represented by such global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have any of the individual debt securities represented by such global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any of such debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture.

Payments of principal, premium and interest with respect to individual debt securities represented by a global security will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner or holder of such global security. Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent or registrar for such debt securities nor any agent of ours or the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for:

•

any aspect of the records relating to or payments made by the depositary, its nominee or any participants on account of beneficial interests in the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests;

•

the payment to the owners of beneficial interests in the global security of amounts paid to the depositary or its nominee; or

•

any other matter relating to the actions and practices of the depositary, its nominee or its participants.

Neither we, the trustee, any paying agent or registrar for such debt securities nor any agent of ours or the trustee will be liable for any delay by the depositary, its nominee or any of its participants in identifying the owners of beneficial interests in the global security, and we and the trustee may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the depositary or its nominee for all purposes.

We expect that the depositary for a series of debt securities or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest with respect to a definitive global security representing any of such debt securities, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such global security, as shown on the records of the depositary or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such global security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers and registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants. See “— Limitations on Issuance of Securities in Bearer Form” below.

If the depositary for a series of debt securities is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary, we will appoint a successor depositary. If a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue individual debt securities of such series in exchange for the global security representing such series of debt securities. In addition, we may at any time and in our sole discretion determine to no longer have debt securities of a series represented by a global security and, in such event, will issue individual debt securities of such series in exchange for the global security representing such series of debt securities. Furthermore, if we so specify with respect to the debt securities of a series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security representing debt securities of such series may, on terms acceptable to us, the trustee and the depositary for such global security, receive individual debt securities of such series in exchange for such beneficial interests. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a global security will be entitled to physical delivery of individual debt securities of the series represented by such global security equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such debt securities registered in its name (if the debt securities are issuable as securities in registered form). Individual debt securities of such series so issued generally will be issued:

•

as securities in registered form in minimum denominations, unless otherwise specified by us, of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof if the debt securities are issuable as securities in registered form;

•

as securities in bearer form in the denomination or denominations specified by us if the debt securities are issuable as securities in bearer form; or

•

as either securities in registered form or securities in bearer form as described above if the debt securities are issuable in either form.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Limitations on Issuance of Securities in Bearer Form

The debt securities of a series may be issued as securities in registered form (which will be registered as to principal and interest in the register maintained by the registrar for such debt securities) or securities in bearer form (which will be transferable only by delivery). If such debt securities are issuable as securities in bearer form, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe certain special limitations and considerations that will apply to such debt securities.

Certain Covenants

If debt securities are issued, the indenture, as supplemented for a particular series of debt securities, will contain certain covenants for the benefit of the holders of such series of debt securities, which will be applicable (unless waived or amended) so long as any of the debt securities of such series are outstanding, unless stated otherwise in the prospectus supplement. The specific terms of the covenants, and summaries thereof, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.

Subordination

Debt securities of a series and any guarantees, may be subordinated, which we refer to as subordinated debt securities, to senior indebtedness (as defined in the applicable prospectus supplement) to the extent set forth in the prospectus supplement relating thereto. To the extent we conduct operations through subsidiaries, the holders of debt securities (whether or not subordinated debt securities) will be structurally subordinated to the creditors of our subsidiaries, except to the extent such subsidiary is a guarantor of such series of debt securities.

Events of Default

Each of the following will constitute an event of default under the form of indenture with respect to any series of debt securities:

•

default in payment of the principal amount of the debt securities of that series, when such amount becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, required redemption or otherwise following the expiration of any applicable grace period;

•

failure to pay interest on the debt securities of that series within 30 days of the due date;

•

failure to comply with the obligations described under “— Mergers and Sales of Assets” below;

•

failure to comply for 90 days after notice with any of our other agreements in the debt securities of that series or the indenture or supplemental indenture related to that series of debt securities; or

•

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting us.

A prospectus supplement may omit, modify or add to the foregoing events of default.

An event of default under one series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default under any other series of debt securities. A default under the fourth bullet above will not constitute an event of default until the trustee or the holders of 30% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series notify us of the default and we do not cure such default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.

If any event of default (other than an event of default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) occurs and is continuing with respect to a particular series of debt securities, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 30% in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding by written notice to us (and to the trustee if such notice is given by the holders), may declare the principal amount of (or in the case of original issue discount debt securities, the portion thereby specified in the terms thereof), and accrued interest on the debt securities of that series to be immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal amount of, and accrued interest on the debt securities of that series will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

holders. Upon a declaration by the trustee or the holders, we will be obligated to pay the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest of each affected series of debt securities so declared due and payable.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series then outstanding by notice to the trustee under the indenture may on behalf of the holders of all of such series of debt securities waive any existing default or event of default and its consequences under the applicable indenture except a continuing default or event of default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, the debt securities of such series.

Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the trustee in case an event of default will occur and be continuing, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture or debt securities at the request or direction of any of the holders of any series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee against any cost, loss, liability or expense. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the trustee, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of a series have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to such series of debt securities. The trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture or that the trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder of such series of debt securities (it being understood that the trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such direction is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any such other holder) or that would involve the trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the indenture, the trustee is entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all costs, losses, liabilities and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no holder of debt securities of a series has any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or debt securities, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless:

•

such holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to such series of debt securities;

•

the holder or holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and such holder or holders have offered, and, if requested, provided, security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any loss, liability or expense, to the trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee; and

•

the trustee has failed to institute such proceeding, and has not received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security of such series for the enforcement of payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on such debt security on or after the applicable due date specified in such debt security.

The indenture provides that if a default with respect to a series of debt securities occurs and is continuing and is known to the trustee, the trustee must send to each holder of such debt securities notice of the default within 90 days after it is known to the trustee. Except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise with respect to any debt security of a series when such amount becomes due and payable, the trustee may withhold notice if and so long as a committee of its trust officers in good faith determines that withholding notice is not opposed to the interests of the holders.

The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a statement by certain of our officers as to whether or not we, to their knowledge, are in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the indenture and, if so, specifying all such known defaults. We are also required to deliver to the trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute a default; provided, however, that failure to provide such written notice will not in and of itself result in a default under the indenture.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks and brokers for information on their requirements for giving notice or taking other actions upon a default.

Modification and Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions, modifications and amendments of the indenture, any supplemental indenture and any series of debt securities may be made by us and the trustee with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series affected by such modification or amendment.

No such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder affected thereby:

•

reduce the percentage of principal amount of the outstanding debt securities, the consent of whose holders is required for any amendment;

•

reduce the principal amount of, or interest on, or extend the Stated Maturity or interest payment periods of, any debt securities;

•

change the provisions applicable to the redemption of any debt securities (other than with respect to any notice provisions);

•

in the case of any subordinated securities, or coupons appertaining thereto, make any change in the provisions of the indenture relating to subordination that adversely affects the rights of any holder under such provisions (including any contractual subordination of senior unsubordinated debt securities); or

•

make any change in the amendment provisions which require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions.

Without the consent of any holder, we and the trustee may amend the indenture for one or more of the following purposes:

•

to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

•

to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company by the indenture, to add to the covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of all or any series of debt securities as the board of directors of the Company will consider to be for the protection of the holders of such debt securities, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in respect of any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an event of default under the indenture; provided, however, that with respect to any such additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision, such amendment may provide for a period of grace after default, which may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults, may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default, may limit the remedies available to the trustee upon such default or may limit the right of holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of any series to waive such default;

•

to provide for the assumption by a successor company of the obligations of the Company under the indenture;

•

to add guarantees with respect to the debt securities or to secure the debt securities;

•

to make any change that does not adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any holder of the debt securities;

•

to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture with respect to one or more series of debt securities, so long as any such addition, change or elimination not otherwise permitted

TABLE OF CONTENTS

under the indenture will (a) neither apply to any debt securities of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision nor modify the rights of the holders of any such debt securities with respect to the benefit of such provision or (b) become effective only when there is no such debt securities outstanding;

•

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate trustee with respect to the debt securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the indenture by more than one trustee;

•

to add or to change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide that debt securities in bearer form may be registrable as to principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the payment of principal or premium with respect to debt securities in registered form or of principal, premium or interest with respect to debt securities in bearer form, or to permit debt securities in registered form to be exchanged for debt securities in bearer form, so as to not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities or any coupons of any series in any material respect or permit or facilitate the issuance of debt securities of any series in uncertificated form;

•

in the case of subordinated debt securities, to make any change in the provisions of the indenture or any supplemental indenture relating to subordination that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of senior Indebtedness under such provisions (but only if each such holder of senior Indebtedness consents to such change);

•

to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

•

to conform any provision in the indenture or the debt securities to the description of any debt securities in an offering document;

•

to approve a particular form of any proposed amendment;

•

to comply with the rules of any applicable depositary;

•

to make any amendment to the provisions of the indenture relating to the transfer and legending of debt securities; provided, however, that (a) compliance with the indenture as so amended would not result in debt securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders of debt securities to transfer debt securities; or

•

to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any property to or with the trustee, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under the indenture as shall not adversely affect, in any material respect, the interests of any holders of debt securities of any series.

Mergers and Sales of Assets

The indenture provides that we will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease in one transaction or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, unless (i) the resulting, surviving or transferee person, if not Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation, is a person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the indenture; (iii) the resulting, surviving or transferee person, if not Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation, expressly assumes by supplemental indenture in a form satisfactory to the trustee all of our obligations under the debt securities and the indenture; and (iv) we or the successor person has delivered to the trustee the certificates and opinions of counsel required under the indenture. Upon any such consolidation, merger or transfer, the resulting, surviving or transferee person shall succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation under the indenture.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Defeasance

Unless otherwise provided for in the prospectus supplement, the indenture will generally cease to be of any further effect with respect to a series of debt securities if (a) we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of such series (with certain limited exceptions) or (b) all debt securities and coupons of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation will have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we will have deposited with the trustee as trust funds the entire amount sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such debt securities and coupons (and if, in either case, we will also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture by us).

In addition, we will have a “legal defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, all of our obligations under such debt securities and the indenture with respect to such debt securities) and a “covenant defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, our obligations with respect to such debt securities under certain specified covenants contained in the indenture). If we exercise our legal defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default related to the specified covenants.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the procedures we must follow in order to exercise our defeasance options.

Regarding the Trustee

The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of an event of default, the trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an event of default, the trustee may exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are incorporated by reference therein contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become one of our creditors, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions with us or any of our affiliates; provided, however, that if it acquires any conflicting interest (as defined in the indenture or in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict, apply to the SEC for permission to continue, or resign.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

General

We may, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares rather than full shares of the preferred stock of a series. In the event that we determine to do so, we will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction (to be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of preferred stock) of a share of a particular series of preferred stock as more fully described below.

The shares of any series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares will be deposited under one or more deposit agreements among us, a depositary to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement, and the holders from time to time of depositary receipts issued thereunder. Subject to the terms of the applicable deposit agreement, each holder of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock represented thereby (including, as applicable, dividend, voting, redemption, subscription and liquidation rights).

The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Depositary receipts will be distributed to those persons purchasing the fractional shares of the related series of preferred stock.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the depositary shares to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the depositary shares to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to the depositary shares so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the depositary shares or the deposit agreement described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement relating to such deposited shares. The forms of deposit agreement and depositary receipt will be filed as exhibits to the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The following summary of certain provisions of the depositary shares and deposit agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to, all the provisions of the deposit agreement and the applicable prospectus supplement, including the definitions.

Immediately following our issuance of shares of a series of preferred stock that will be offered as fractional shares, we will deposit the shares with the depositary, which will then issue and deliver the depositary receipts to the purchasers thereof. Depositary receipts will only be issued evidencing whole depositary shares. A depositary receipt may evidence any number of whole depositary shares.

Pending the preparation of definitive depositary receipts, the depositary may, upon our written order, issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to (and entitling the holders thereof to all the rights pertaining to) the definitive depositary receipts but not in definitive form. Definitive depositary receipts will be prepared thereafter without unreasonable delay, and such temporary depositary receipts will be exchangeable for definitive depositary receipts at our expense.

Dividends and Other Distributions

The depositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions received in respect of the related series of preferred stock to the record holders of depositary shares relating to the series of preferred stock in proportion to the number of the depositary shares owned by the holders.

In the event of a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to the record holders of depositary shares entitled thereto in proportion to the number of depositary shares owned by the holders, unless the depositary determines that the distribution cannot be made proportionately among the holders or that it is not feasible to make the distributions, in which case the depositary may, with our approval, adopt any method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting the distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, at the place or places and upon those terms as it may deem proper.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The amount distributed in any of the foregoing cases will be reduced by any amounts required to be withheld by us or the depositary on account of taxes or other governmental charges.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

If any series of the preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from any redemption, in whole or in part, of the series of the preferred stock held by the depositary. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per share payable with respect to the series of the preferred stock. If we redeem shares of a series of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock so redeemed. If less than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or substantially equivalent method determined by the depositary.

After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares so called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders of the depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other property to which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon such redemption, upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares. Any funds deposited by us with the depositary for any depositary shares that the holders thereof fail to redeem will be returned to us after a period of two years from the date the funds are so deposited.

Voting the Underlying Preferred Stock

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of any series of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary shares relating to the series of preferred stock. Each record holder of the depositary shares on the record date (which will be the same date as the record date for the related series of preferred stock) will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the number of shares of the series of preferred stock represented by that holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor, insofar as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with the instructions, provided the depositary receives the instructions sufficiently in advance of the meeting to enable it to so vote or cause to be voted the shares of preferred stock, and we will agree to take all reasonable action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to do so. The depositary will abstain from voting shares of the preferred stock to the extent it does not receive specific instructions from the holders of depositary shares representing the preferred stock.

Withdrawal of Stock

Upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the corporate trust office of the depositary and upon payment of the taxes, charges and fees provided for in the deposit agreement and subject to the terms thereof, the holder of the depositary shares evidenced thereby will be entitled to delivery at such office, to or upon his or her order, of the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property, if any, represented by the depositary shares. Holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive whole shares of the related series of preferred stock, but holders of the whole shares of preferred stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit the shares of preferred stock with the depositary or to receive depositary shares therefor. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representing the number of whole shares of the related series of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder or upon his or her order at the same time a new depositary receipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares.

Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement

The form of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares of any series and any provision of the applicable deposit agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between us

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares of any series will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares of the series then outstanding. Every holder of a depositary receipt at the time the amendment becomes effective will be deemed, by continuing to hold the depositary receipt, to be bound by the deposit agreement as so amended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may any amendment impair the right of any holder of any depositary shares, upon surrender of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares and subject to any conditions specified in the deposit agreement, to receive shares of the related series of preferred stock and any money or other property represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law. The deposit agreement may be terminated by us at any time upon not less than 60 days prior written notice to the depositary, in which case, on a date that is not later than 30 days after the date of the notice, the depositary shall deliver or make available for delivery to holders of depositary shares, upon surrender of the depositary receipts evidencing the depositary shares, the number of whole or fractional shares of the related series of preferred stock as are represented by the depositary shares. The deposit agreement shall automatically terminate after all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed or there has been a final distribution in respect of the related series of preferred stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us and the distribution has been distributed to the holders of depositary shares.

Charges of Depositary

We will pay all transfer and other taxes and the governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We will pay the charges of the depositary, including charges in connection with the initial deposit of the related series of preferred stock and the initial issuance of the depositary shares and all withdrawals of shares of the related series of preferred stock, except that holders of depositary shares will pay transfer and other taxes and governmental charges and any other charges as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.

Resignation and Removal of Depositary

The depositary may resign at any time by delivering to us written notice of its election to do so, and we may at any time remove the depositary. Any resignation or removal will take effect upon the appointment of a successor depositary, which successor depositary must be appointed within 60 days after delivery of the notice of resignation or removal and must be a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

Miscellaneous

The depositary will forward to the holders of depositary shares all reports and communications from us that are delivered to the depositary and which we are required to furnish to the holders of the related preferred stock.

The depositary’s corporate trust office will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the depositary will act as transfer agent and registrar for depositary receipts and if shares of a series of preferred stock are redeemable, the depositary will also act as redemption agent for the corresponding depositary receipts.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase our Class A common stock. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

the conditions to completion of the rights offering;

•

the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and

•

any applicable federal income tax considerations.

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of Class A common stock at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue, from time to time, purchase contracts, including contracts obligating holders to purchase from us and us to sell to the holders, a specified principal amount of debt securities, shares of Class A common stock or preferred stock, depositary shares, government securities, or other securities that we may sell under this prospectus at a future date or dates. The consideration payable upon settlement of the purchase contracts may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by a specific reference to a formula set forth in the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a purchase contract and other securities or obligations issued by us or third parties, including United States treasury securities, securing the holders’ obligations to purchase the relevant securities under the purchase contracts. The purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the purchase contracts or units or vice versa, and the payments may be unsecured or prefunded on some basis. The purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under the purchase contracts.

The prospectus supplement related to any particular purchase contracts will describe, among other things, the material terms of the purchase contracts and of the securities being sold pursuant to such purchase contracts, a discussion, if appropriate, of any special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the purchase contracts and any material provisions governing the purchase contracts that differ from those described above. The description in the prospectus supplement will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the purchase contracts, and, if applicable, collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, relating to the purchase contracts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITS

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of certain other securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination. Each unit may also include debt obligations of third parties, such as U.S. Treasury securities. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

Any prospectus supplement related to any particular units will describe, among other things:

•

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

•

any material provisions relating to the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units;

•

if appropriate, any special United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and

•

any material provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described above.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

•

to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•

directly to one or more other purchasers;

•

through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

through agents on a best-efforts basis; or

•

otherwise through a combination of any of the above methods of sale.

In addition, we may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of Class A common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of Class A common stock under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

•

enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares of Class A common stock by underwriters, brokers or dealers;

•

sell shares of Class A common stock short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

•

enter into option or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of Class A common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of Class A common stock under this prospectus; or

•

loan or pledge the shares of Class A common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. The prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:

•

the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities;

•

any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

•

any public offering or purchase price and any discounts or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;

•

any commissions allowed or paid to agents;

•

any other offering expenses;

•

any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed;

•

the method of distribution of the securities;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers; and

•

any other information we think is important.

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time by us in one or more transactions:

•

at a fixed price or prices that may be changed;

•

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

•

at prices related to such prevailing market prices;

•

at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

•

at negotiated prices.

Such sales may be effected:

•

in transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

•

in transactions in the over-the-counter market;

•

in block transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

•

through the writing of options; or

•

through other types of transactions.

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

Any shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. Any shares of Class A common stock offered under this prospectus will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (or other such exchange or automated quotation system on which the Class A common stock is listed), subject to official notice of issuance.

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters, dealers or agents will be authorized to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include, among others:

•

commercial and savings banks;

•

insurance companies;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

pension funds;

•

investment companies; and

•

educational and charitable institutions.

In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time.

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

LEGAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain legal matters will be passed upon for us by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, New York, New York. If legal matters in connection with offerings made pursuant to this prospectus are passed upon by counsel for underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, such counsel will be named in the prospectus supplement relating to such offering.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and agents against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and (other than in actions by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Section 1 of Article VIII of the registrant’s Fourth Amended and Restated Bylaws provides for mandatory indemnification by the registrant of its present and former directors and officers and permits indemnification by the registrant of its employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation provides that:

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders.

The registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

II-2

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(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 Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(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 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 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.

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

II-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to the 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 and 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 undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, 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 shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(d)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)

For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.
