Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited, an Australia-incorporated company, filed Amendment No. 1 to its existing Form F-3 shelf registration statement. This amendment is an exhibits-only filing, made primarily to add an updated legal opinion from QR Lawyers as Exhibit 5.1, while leaving the rest of the registration statement unchanged.

The filing also describes how Australian law and the company’s Constitution allow indemnification of directors and officers, subject to limits such as exclusions for lack of good faith and certain regulatory penalties. It notes indemnification deeds for directors and related insurance arrangements. The text reiterates the U.S. SEC’s position that indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act is contrary to public policy and therefore unenforceable. Standard registration undertakings and signatures by Founder and Chief Executive Officer Nick Langton, Chief Financial Officer Aaron Links, and the board are included.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 8. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Australian law. Australian law provides that a company or a related body corporate of the company may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent of any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer or director of the company:

 

  a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate of the company;
     
  a liability for a pecuniary penalty order made under section 1317G or a compensation order under section 961M, 1317H, 1317HA, 1317HB 1317HC or 1317HE of the Corporations Act;
     
  a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate of the company and did not arise out of conduct in good faith; or
     
  legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer or auditor of the company if the costs are incurred:

 

  in defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability for which they cannot be indemnified as set out above;
     
  in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty;
     
  in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (except costs incurred in responding to actions taken by the Australian Securities & Investments Commission or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for a court order); or
     
  in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the court denies the relief.

 

Constitution. Our Constitution provides, that to the extent permitted by law, the Company indemnifies every director, executive officer or company secretary of the Company against a liability to another person, other than the Company or a related body corporate of the Company, provided that the provisions of the Corporations Act are complied with in relation to the giving of the indemnity and the liability does not arise in respect of conduct involving a lack of good faith on the part of the officer.

 

Indemnification Agreements. Pursuant to our form of deed of access, insurance and indemnity which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this registration statement, we have agreed to indemnify our directors. MMA has agreed to indemnify each of its directors to the extent permitted by law against all liabilities incurred while holding office, including indemnifying directors for any legal expenses incurred in defending proceedings relating to their directorship of MMA. Any indemnified amounts must be repaid to MMA to the extent that a director is reimbursed from an insurance policy maintained by MMA for the directors. MMA has also agreed to obtain and pay the premiums for insurance policies for each of its directors, which include run-off cover for each director for a period of seven years after they cease to hold office.

 

SEC Position. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10. Undertakings.

 

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

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

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in Exhibit 107 of 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) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 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 a 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) That, for the purpose 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

 

(4) 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.

 

(5) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act, or 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 

(6) 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.

 

II-3

 

 

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

 

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communications that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(8) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

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

 

(10) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.

FAQ

What is Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited (MMA) changing in this Form F-3/A?

The amendment is an exhibits-only update to the existing Form F-3 registration statement, filed mainly to include an updated legal opinion from QR Lawyers as Exhibit 5.1. The remainder of the registration statement is unchanged and omitted from this filing.

What type of securities filing is this for MMA?

This document is Amendment No. 1 to a Form F-3 shelf registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 for Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited, allowing the company to offer securities from time to time after the registration statement becomes effective.

How does MMA handle indemnification of directors and officers?

Under Australian law and the company’s Constitution, MMA may indemnify directors, executive officers, and the company secretary against certain liabilities owed to others, provided the conduct was in good faith and consistent with the Corporations Act. The filing also notes limits on indemnification, including exclusions for specific regulatory penalties and legal costs in certain adverse outcomes.

Does Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited have separate indemnification agreements for directors?

Yes. MMA has entered into a form of deed of access, insurance and indemnity with its directors, agreeing to indemnify them to the extent permitted by law and to maintain insurance policies, including run-off cover for seven years after a director ceases to hold office. Amounts paid under indemnity must be repaid to the extent a director is reimbursed by insurance.

What is the SEC’s position on indemnification for Securities Act liabilities mentioned here?

The filing states that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 that may be provided to directors, officers, or controlling persons is against public policy and unenforceable. If a claim for such indemnification is made, MMA would submit the question to a court for final adjudication.

Who signed this Form F-3/A amendment for Mixed Martial Arts Group Limited?

The registration statement was signed on behalf of MMA by Nick Langton, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer), and by Aaron Links, Chief Financial Officer (principal financial and accounting officer).
