The selling securityholder will act independently in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of any sale or non-sale related transfer. The selling securityholder may sell these shares of common stock in one or more transactions (including one or more underwritten offerings) at the market price for our common stock prevailing at the time of sale, a price related to the prevailing market price, a negotiated price or such other price as the selling securityholder determines from time to time. See “Plan of Distribution” for more information about how the selling securityholder may sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of our common stock.

Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “MP”. The last sale price of our common stock on NYSE on August 14, 2025 was $76.58 per share.

We urge you to read carefully the prospectus, this prospectus supplement, any accompanying prospectus supplement, any accompanying free writing prospectus and any documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and any accompanying prospectus supplement before you make your investment decision.

 

 

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk.

These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus supplement and may not contain all the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. To understand this offering fully, you should read carefully this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any free writing prospectus prepared by us or on our behalf in connection with this offering and the documents incorporated by reference that are described in “Where You Can Find More Information.” You should pay special attention to the sections titled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, as updated by our other filings with the SEC. References herein to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to MP Materials Corp. and its subsidiaries.

The Company

We are the largest producer of rare earth materials in the Western Hemisphere. We own and operate the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility (“Mountain Pass”) located near Mountain Pass, San Bernardino County, California, the only rare earth mining and processing site of scale in North America. We are also developing a rare earth metal, alloy and magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas (“Independence” or the “Independence Facility”).

Our reportable segments, which are primarily based on our internal organizational structure and types of products, are our two operating segments—Materials and Magnetics. Where applicable, prior period amounts have been recast to conform to this segment reporting structure, which was modified during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Materials segment represents our upstream and midstream operations, which primarily consist of Mountain Pass, a fully integrated mining and refining facility producing refined rare earth oxides and related products. The Materials segment generates revenue primarily from sales of neodymium-praseodymium (“NdPr”) oxide and metal, primarily sold to customers in Japan, South Korea, and broader Asia. The Materials segment historically generated the majority of its revenue from sales of rare earth concentrate primarily to a single customer in China. In April 2025, in response to China’s retaliatory tariffs and export controls, we made the strategic decision to cease shipments of rare earth concentrate to China. In July 2025, to align with the terms of the DoD Transaction Agreements and in further support of our domestic supply chain objectives, we agreed to cease all future sales of products to China.

The Magnetics segment represents our downstream magnet manufacturing and related operations, which currently consist the Independence Facility, a fully integrated metal, alloy and magnet manufacturing plant, where we produce and sell magnetic precursor products and anticipate manufacturing neodymium-iron-boron (“NdFeB”) permanent magnets by the end of 2025. The Magnetics segment began generating revenue from sales of magnetic precursor products to a single customer in the U.S., in the first quarter of 2025.

Certain rare earth elements (“REE”) serve as critical inputs for the rare earth magnets inside the electric motors and generators powering carbon-reducing technologies such as hybrid and electric vehicles, or “xEVs”, and wind turbines, as well as drones, defense systems, robotics and many other high-growth, advanced technologies. Our integrated operations combine low production costs with high environmental standards, thereby restoring American leadership to a critical industry with a strong commitment to sustainability.

The Company was incorporated on January 24, 2020, as a Delaware corporation under the name “Fortress Value Acquisition Corp.” (“FVAC”) and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On November 17, 2020, in connection with the consummation of the business combination involving FVAC and MP Mine Operations LLP and Secure Natural Resources LLC (SNR), we changed our name to “MP Materials Corp.”

RISK FACTORS

Before you invest in our common stock, in addition to the other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein or other offering materials, you should carefully consider the risk factors in any prospectus supplement as well as the risk factors under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, each of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, as the same may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by our filings under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Cautionary Notes Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The United States Department of Defense is a federal agency and your ability to bring a claim against the United States Department of Defense as a selling securityholder under the federal securities laws may be limited.

The doctrine of sovereign immunity, as limited by the Federal Tort Claims Act (the “FTCA”), provides that claims may not be brought against the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof unless specifically permitted by act of Congress. The FTCA bars claims for fraud or misrepresentation. At least one federal court, in a case involving a federal agency, has held that the United States may assert its sovereign immunity to claims brought under the federal securities laws. In addition, the DoD and its officers, agents, and employees are exempt from liability for any violation or alleged violation of the anti-fraud provisions of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act, by virtue of Section 3(c) thereof. Accordingly, any attempt to assert such a claim against the officers, agents or employees of DoD for a violation of the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act resulting from an alleged material misstatement in or material omission from this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement or the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or resulting from any other act or omission in connection with this offering by the DoD, would likely be barred.

through settlement of short sales, or sales of put, call or other types of options, forward delivery contracts, swaps, offerings of structured equity-linked securities, or other derivative, convertible or exchangeable securities or transactions;

 

   

in which the selling securityholder enters into options, forwards or other transactions that require the selling securityholder to deliver, in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the securities to a broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer or other third party who may then become a selling securityholder and publicly resell or otherwise transfer the securities under this prospectus;

in a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

   

in any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

If the selling securityholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling securityholder or commissions from purchasers of the shares for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

The selling securityholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by the selling securityholder and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time pursuant to this prospectus supplement, or under an amendment to this prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending, if necessary, the list of selling securityholders to include, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable DoD Transaction Agreements, including, in certain circumstances, our prior written consent, the pledgee, transferee or other successors-in-interest as selling securityholders under this prospectus supplement. The selling securityholder also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable DoD Transaction Agreements including, in certain circumstances, our prior written consent, in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus supplement. The selling securityholder may also enter into option or other transactions, including the issuance of convertible or exchangeable securities with broker-dealers, financial institutions or other investors or the creation of one or more derivative, convertible or exchangeable securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer, financial institution or other investors of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer, financial institution or other investors may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling securityholder may also directly make offers to sell some or all of the shares of common stock offered by them pursuant to this prospectus supplement to, or solicit offers to purchase such shares from, purchasers from time to time. The selling securityholder may also sell the shares of common stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus supplement. The selling securityholder may transfer, devise or gift such shares by other means not described in this prospectus supplement.

The selling securityholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling securityholder and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

The selling securityholder is not obligated to, and there can be no assurance that the selling securityholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.

Subject to Section 3(c) of the Exchange Act and the doctrine of sovereign immunity, the selling securityholder and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M under the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling securityholder and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the selling securityholder from and against certain liabilities incurred in connection with the registration of the selling securityholder’s shares of common stock.

MP MATERIALS CORP.

Overview

MP Materials Corp., including its subsidiaries (the “Company,” “MP Materials,” “we,” “our,” and “us”), is the largest producer of rare earth materials in the Western Hemisphere. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Company owns and operates the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine and Processing Facility (“Mountain Pass”) located near Mountain Pass, San Bernardino County, California, the only rare earth mining and processing site of scale in North America. The Company is also developing a rare earth metal, alloy and magnet manufacturing facility in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Independence Facility”). The Company’s operations are organized into two reportable segments: Materials and Magnetics.

The Materials segment operates Mountain Pass, which produces refined rare earth oxides and related products as well as rare earth concentrate products. The Materials segment primarily generates revenue from (i) sales of rare earth concentrate, which is principally sold pursuant to the offtake agreement with Shenghe, that, in turn, typically sells that product to refiners in China, and (ii) sales of separated rare earth products, including neodymium-praseodymium (“NdPr”) oxide, primarily to customers in Japan, South Korea, and broader Asia.

The Magnetics segment operates the Independence Facility, where the Company began production of magnetic precursor products in December 2024 and anticipates manufacturing NdFeB permanent magnets by the end of 2025. The Company expects that the Magnetics segment will begin generating revenue from sales of magnetic precursor products, specifically NdPr metal, to a single customer in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2025.

Certain rare earth elements serve as critical inputs for the rare earth magnets inside the electric motors and generators powering carbon-reducing technologies such as hybrid and electric vehicles and wind turbines, as well as drones, defense systems, robotics and many other high-growth, advanced technologies. Our integrated operations at Mountain Pass combine low production costs with high environmental standards, thereby restoring American leadership to a critical industry with a strong commitment to sustainability. The Company believes businesses are increasingly prioritizing diversification and security of their global supply chains to reduce reliance on a single producer or region for critical materials. As the only scaled source in North America for critical rare earths, with a processing footprint designed to operate with best-in-class sustainability and an industry-leading cost structure, the Company believes it is well-positioned to thrive as the global economy electrifies and as the United States prioritizes domestic manufacturing and secure supply chains.

The Company’s mission is to maximize stockholder returns over the long-term by executing a disciplined business strategy to restore the full rare earth magnetics supply chain to the United States of America. The Company believes it will generate positive outcomes for U.S. national security and industry, the U.S. workforce, and the environment.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

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 and is qualified in its entirety by the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws. The full text of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws are incorporated by reference herein. For a complete description of the rights and preferences of our securities, the Company urges you to read its Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated Bylaws and the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

Authorized Capital Stock

The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 500,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) 450,000,000 shares of common stock, consisting entirely of 450,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

As of February 20, 2025, there were 163,442,217 shares of common stock outstanding. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding.

The Company’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “MP”.

Common Stock

Voting Power

Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action (other than matters that relate solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock) and are entitled or will be entitled, as applicable, to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders.

Dividends

Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock, under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), in its discretion, out of funds legally available therefor and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.

Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up

The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the preferred stock, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in all the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders.

Preemptive or Other Rights

Under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s stockholders have no preemptive, conversion or other subscription rights, and there is no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

Table of Contents

Number and Election of Directors

Under the Amended and Restated Bylaws, the number of directors shall be fixed by resolution of the Board. Under the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, there is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, and directors of the Company are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders by holders of common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, special and other rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board is able, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Board to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preferred stock outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of preferred stock, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control the Company to first negotiate with the Board. We believe that the benefits of these provisions outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging certain takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value. However, these provisions may delay, deter or prevent a merger or acquisition of us that a stockholder might consider is in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price of our common stock.

Business Combinations

The Company has opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL; however the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains provisions that are substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL. These provisions prevent the Company, under certain circumstances, from engaging in a “business combination” with (i) a stockholder who owns fifteen percent (15%) or more of our outstanding voting stock (otherwise known as an “interested stockholder”); (ii) an affiliate of an interested stockholder; or (iii) an associate of an interested stockholder, in each case, for three years following the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder.

A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger with or caused by an interested stockholder or a sale of more than 10% of our assets. However, the above provisions do not apply if:

 

   

the Board approves the transaction that made the stockholder an “interested stockholder,” prior to the date of the transaction;

 

   

after the completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, that stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than certain excluded shares of common stock; or

Table of Contents
   

on or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the Board and authorized at a meeting of our stockholders, and not by written consent, by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

In addition, our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for certain other provisions that may have an anti-takeover effect:

 

   

There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors.

 

   

Our Board is empowered to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the Board or the resignation, death, or removal of a director in certain circumstances.

 

   

Directors may only be removed from the Board for cause.

 

   

A prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders.

 

   

A prohibition on stockholders calling a special meeting and the requirement that a meeting of the stockholders may only be called by members of our Board, by our Chief Executive Officer or by our Chairman, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors.

 

   

Our authorized but unissued common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuances without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Classified Board

Under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Board is divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III, with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class serving a three-year term. So long as the Company’s Board is classified, it would take at least two elections of directors for any individual or group to gain control of the Company’s Board. Accordingly, while the classified board is in effect, these provisions could discourage a third party from initiating a proxy contest, making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to gain control of the Company.

Advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before the annual meeting of the stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be received by the Company’s secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of the stockholders. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, proposals seeking inclusion in our annual proxy statement must comply with the notice periods contained therein. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ meeting. These provisions may preclude the stockholders of the Company from bringing matters before our annual meeting of the stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of the stockholders. In addition, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s director nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) of the Exchange Act.

The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless the Company consents to the selection of an alternative forum, any (1) derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (2) action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, stockholder or employee to the Company or its stockholders, (3) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Amended and Restated Bylaws or (4) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be exclusively brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction thereof, another state or federal court located within the State of Delaware. Additionally, the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the United States federal securities laws, including the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation; however, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such an exclusive forum provision with respect to claims under the Securities Act. Additionally, investors cannot waive the Company’s compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The following description of debt securities sets forth certain of the material terms and provisions of the debt securities that are common to all series of debt securities that we may offer (unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement relating to a particular series). We may offer secured or unsecured debt securities which may be senior or subordinated and which may be convertible. Other material specific terms of any particular series of debt securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of a particular issue of debt securities, reference must be made to both the applicable prospectus supplement and to the following description. To the extent that any particular terms of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described herein, then such terms described herein shall be deemed to have been superseded by such prospectus supplement. When used in this description of debt securities, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to MP Materials Corp. and not to any of its subsidiaries.

The debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures to be entered into between us and one or more trustees. References herein to the “indenture” and the “trustee” refer to the applicable indenture and the applicable trustee pursuant to which any particular series of debt securities is issued. The terms of any series of debt securities will be those specified in or pursuant to the applicable indenture and in the certificates evidencing that series of debt securities and those made part of the indenture by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). We may issue senior, subordinated and convertible debt securities under the same indenture.

The following summary of selected provisions of the indenture and the debt securities is not complete, and the summary of selected terms of a particular series of debt securities included in the applicable prospectus supplement also will not be complete. You should review the applicable form of indenture and the applicable form of certificate evidencing the debt securities, which forms have been or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or as exhibits to documents which have been or will be incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To obtain a copy of the indenture or the form of certificate for the debt securities, see “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus. The following summary and the summary in any applicable prospectus supplement are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the indenture and the certificates evidencing the debt securities (including any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under the debt securities or any indenture), which provisions, including defined terms, are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank junior in right of payment to any of our secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and will be structurally junior to all existing and future indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries. Any debt securities designated as senior will rank equally with any of our other senior and unsubordinated debt. Any debt securities designated as subordinated will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness. There may be subordinated debt securities that are senior or junior to other series of subordinated debt securities.

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the offered securities for their own account and may resell them from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The offered securities may be offered either to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or by one or more underwriters without a syndicate.

These transactions may be effected on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, or otherwise. Underwriters are not required to engage in any of these activities, or to continue such activities if commenced.

If a dealer is used in the sale, we will sell such offered securities to the dealer, as principal.

Other than our common stock, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, each of the securities issued hereunder will be a new issue of securities, will have no prior trading market, and may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, subject to official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom we sell securities for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for the offered securities.
