[S-3] Neuronetics, Inc. Shelf Registration Statement
Form 4 highlights the final step in Redfin Corporation’s (RDFN) merger with Rocket Companies, Inc. Director James Slavet reported the disposition of all Redfin common shares on 07/01/2025 pursuant to the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger dated 03/09/2025. At the effective time, every share of Redfin common stock was automatically converted into the right to receive 0.7926 shares of Rocket Companies Class A common stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares. As a result, Slavet now holds 0 Redfin shares; any continuing economic interest is now represented by Rocket equity.
The filing confirms that Redfin has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Rocket Companies, ending its status as an independent publicly traded entity. The disposition code “D” and accompanying footnote make clear that the transaction was non-discretionary, occurring solely because of the merger terms rather than an open-market sale.
Key takeaways for investors:
- Merger completion date: 07/01/2025.
- Exchange ratio: 0.7926 Rocket Class A shares for each Redfin share.
- Impact on RDFN stock: Shares are cancelled; holders should now expect Rocket (RKT) shares and any cash for fractions.
Il Modulo 4 evidenzia l'ultimo passaggio nella fusione di Redfin Corporation (RDFN) con Rocket Companies, Inc. Il direttore James Slavet ha comunicato la cessione di tutte le azioni ordinarie Redfin il 01/07/2025 in conformità con l'Accordo e Piano di Fusione annunciato il 09/03/2025. Al momento dell'efficacia, ogni azione ordinaria Redfin è stata automaticamente convertita nel diritto di ricevere 0,7926 azioni ordinarie di Classe A di Rocket Companies più un importo in contanti per le frazioni di azioni. Di conseguenza, Slavet ora detiene 0 azioni Redfin; qualsiasi interesse economico residuo è ora rappresentato dalle azioni Rocket.
La comunicazione conferma che Redfin è diventata una controllata interamente posseduta da Rocket Companies, terminando il suo status di entità pubblica indipendente. Il codice di cessione “D” e la nota a piè di pagina chiariscono che la transazione è stata non discrezionale, avvenuta esclusivamente in base ai termini della fusione e non tramite vendita sul mercato aperto.

양식 4는 Redfin Corporation(RDFN)과 Rocket Companies, Inc.의 합병 최종 단계를 강조합니다. 이사 James Slavet는 2025년 7월 1일에 Redfin 보통주 전량 처분을 이전에 발표된 2025년 3월 9일자 합병 계약 및 계획에 따라 보고했습니다. 효력 발생 시점에 Redfin 보통주 1주는 자동으로 Rocket Companies 클래스 A 보통주 0.7926주와 소수 주식에 대한 현금으로 전환되었습니다. 결과적으로 Slavet는 이제 Redfin 주식 0주를 보유하며, 지속되는 경제적 이익은 이제 Rocket 주식으로 대체됩니다.
이 신고는 Redfin이 Rocket Companies의 완전 자회사가 되어 독립적인 상장 법인으로서의 지위를 종료했음을 확인합니다. 처분 코드 “D”와 첨부된 각주는 이 거래가 비재량적이며, 공개시장 매도가 아닌 합병 조건에 의해서만 발생했음을 명확히 합니다.

- 교환 비율: Redfin 주식 1주당 Rocket 클래스 A 주식 0.7926주.

Le formulaire 4 met en lumière la dernière étape de la fusion entre Redfin Corporation (RDFN) et Rocket Companies, Inc. Le directeur James Slavet a déclaré la cession de toutes les actions ordinaires Redfin le 01/07/2025 conformément à l'Accord et Plan de Fusion annoncé précédemment en date du 09/03/2025. Au moment de l'entrée en vigueur, chaque action ordinaire Redfin a été automatiquement convertie en droit de recevoir 0,7926 actions ordinaires de classe A de Rocket Companies ainsi qu'une somme en espèces pour les fractions d'actions. En conséquence, Slavet ne détient désormais plus aucune action Redfin ; tout intérêt économique persistant est désormais représenté par des actions Rocket.
Le dépôt confirme que Redfin est devenue une filiale en propriété exclusive de Rocket Companies, mettant fin à son statut d'entité publique indépendante. Le code de disposition « D » et la note associée précisent que la transaction était non discrétionnaire, survenue uniquement en raison des termes de la fusion et non par une vente sur le marché libre.
Points clés pour les investisseurs :
- Date de finalisation de la fusion : 01/07/2025.
- Ratio d'échange : 0,7926 actions Rocket classe A pour chaque action Redfin.
- Impact sur les actions RDFN : Les actions sont annulées ; les détenteurs doivent désormais s'attendre à recevoir des actions Rocket (RKT) et un paiement en espèces pour les fractions.
Formular 4 hebt den letzten Schritt der Fusion von Redfin Corporation (RDFN) mit Rocket Companies, Inc. hervor. Direktor James Slavet meldete die Veräußerung aller Redfin-Stammaktien am 01.07.2025 gemäß dem zuvor angekündigten Fusionsvertrag vom 09.03.2025. Zum Wirksamkeitszeitpunkt wurde jede Redfin-Stammaktie automatisch in das Recht umgewandelt, 0,7926 Aktien der Klasse A von Rocket Companies sowie eine Barauszahlung für Bruchstücke zu erhalten. Folglich hält Slavet nun 0 Redfin-Aktien; jegliches fortbestehendes wirtschaftliches Interesse wird nun durch Rocket-Anteile dargestellt.
Die Einreichung bestätigt, dass Redfin eine vollständig im Besitz von Rocket Companies befindliche Tochtergesellschaft geworden ist und somit nicht mehr als eigenständiges börsennotiertes Unternehmen existiert. Der Veräußerungscode „D“ und die begleitende Fußnote verdeutlichen, dass die Transaktion nicht diskretionär war und ausschließlich aufgrund der Fusionsbedingungen und nicht durch einen Verkauf am offenen Markt erfolgte.
Wichtige Erkenntnisse für Investoren:
- Fusionsabschlussdatum: 01.07.2025.
- Umtauschverhältnis: 0,7926 Rocket Klasse A Aktien für jede Redfin-Aktie.
- Auswirkung auf RDFN-Aktien: Aktien werden storniert; Inhaber sollten nun Rocket (RKT) Aktien und gegebenenfalls Bargeld für Bruchteile erwarten.
- Merger consummation: Confirms that the Redfin–Rocket deal closed on 07/01/2025, providing certainty to shareholders.
- Clear exchange ratio: Shareholders receive 0.7926 Rocket Class A shares per Redfin share, enabling portfolio adjustment.
- Loss of independent listing: Redfin common stock is cancelled; investors seeking exposure to a stand-alone Redfin no longer have that option.
Insights
TL;DR: Filing confirms Redfin–Rocket merger closed; all RDFN shares converted to 0.7926 RKT shares, eliminating independent Redfin equity.
The Form 4 provides definitive evidence that the statutory merger became effective on 07/01/2025. The disposition was automatic under the merger agreement, so there is no pricing information beyond the agreed share–for–share exchange. From an M&A standpoint, this is the closing event that triggers integration, synergies realisation, and accounting consolidation into Rocket. Redfin investors must now evaluate Rocket’s fundamentals, as their ownership has migrated. Because the consideration is equity rather than cash, shareholders remain exposed to market risk but may benefit from combined scale. Overall materiality is high because it terminates RDFN’s public float.
TL;DR: Director Slavet reports zero post-merger RDFN shares, signaling full roll-up into Rocket and extinguishing Section 16 obligations.
The filing satisfies Section 16 by documenting that Mr. Slavet no longer owns Redfin securities; future insider reports will shift to Rocket’s reporting regime. Governance-wise, completion of the merger ends Redfin’s standalone board, so existing directors’ fiduciary duties now align with Rocket’s governance structure. No red flags appear—disclosure is consistent with merger terms previously filed.

Company Overview
We believe that mental health is as important as physical health. As a global leader in neuroscience, we are delivering more treatment options to patients and healthcare providers by offering exceptional in-office treatments that produce extraordinary results. Our first commercial product, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, is a non-invasive and non-systemic office-based treatment that uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to create a pulsed, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-strength magnetic field that induces electrical currents designed to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood. The system is cleared by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) to treat adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from at least one prior antidepressant medication in the current MDD episode. It is also cleared by the FDA as an adjunct for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and for adolescent patients aged 15-21 with MDD. It is also cleared by the FDA to decrease anxiety symptoms in adult patients with MDD that may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms (anxious depression). In addition to selling the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System and associated treatment sessions to customers, we operate Greenbrook TMS Inc. (Greenbrook) treatment centers (Treatment Centers) across the U.S., offering NeuroStar Advanced Therapy. We acquired Greenbrook, a leading provider of mental healthcare services, pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement effective as of December 9, 2024. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is safe, clinically effective, reproducible and precise and we believe is supported by the largest clinical data set of any competing TMS system. Treatment Centers also obtain SPRAVATO® to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression or depressive symptoms in adults suffering from MDD with acute suicidal ideation or behavior.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading Risk Factors contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, in each case, as updated by our subsequent filings with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description summarizes certain of the terms of the capital stock of Neuronetics, Inc. This description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our ninth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (certificate of incorporation), and our fourth amended and restated bylaws (bylaws), which are exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and by applicable law. We encourage you to read our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the applicable provisions of Delaware law for additional information. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to we, us, our and Company in this section refer solely to Neuronetics, Inc. and not to any subsidiaries that we may have from time to time.
General
Under our certificate of incorporation we are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (common stock), and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (preferred stock), all of which shares of preferred stock are undesignated. Our board of directors may establish the rights and preferences of the preferred stock from time to time.
As of June 30, 2025, there were 66,113,822 shares of common stock outstanding and there was no preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting Rights
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Under our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights. Because of this, the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election, if they should so choose.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds.
Liquidation
In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Rights and Preferences
Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the right of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate in the future.
Preferred Stock
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the
9
Table of Contents
designations, number of shares, rights, voting powers, preferences, privileges and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof. These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and sinking fund terms, and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. Our issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood and amount that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control or other corporate action, or make the removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders thereof.
Our board of directors will fix the designations, number of shares, rights voting powers, preferences and privileges of each series, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the preferred stock of each series in the certificate of designation relating to that series. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of any certificate of designation that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of that series of preferred stock. This description will include:
| the title and stated value; |
| the number of shares we are offering; |
| the liquidation preference per share; |
| the purchase price per share; |
| the dividend rate per share, dividend period and payment dates and method of calculation for dividends; |
| whether dividends will be cumulative or non-cumulative and, if cumulative, the date from which dividends will accumulate; |
| our right, if any, to defer payment of dividends and the maximum length of any such deferral period; |
| the procedures for any auction and remarketing, if any; |
| the provisions for a sinking fund, if any; |
| the provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on our ability to exercise those redemption and repurchase rights; |
| any listing of the preferred stock on any securities exchange or market; |
| whether the preferred stock will be convertible into our common stock or other securities of ours, including depositary shares and warrants, and, if applicable, the conversion period, the conversion price, or how it will be calculated, and under what circumstances it may be adjusted; |
| whether the preferred stock will be exchangeable into debt securities, and, if applicable, the exchange period, the exchange price, or how it will be calculated, and under what circumstances it may be adjusted; |
| voting rights, if any, of the preferred stock; |
| preemption rights, if any; |
| restrictions on transfer, sale or other assignment, if any; |
| whether interests in the preferred stock will be represented by depositary shares; |
10
Table of Contents
| a discussion of any material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock; |
| the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; |
| any limitations on issuances of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior to or on a parity with the series of preferred stock being issued as to dividend rights and rights if we liquidate, dissolve or wind up our affairs; and |
| any other specific terms, rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications or restrictions of the preferred stock. |
The Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL), which is the law of the state of our incorporation, provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class (or, in some cases, as a series) on an amendment to our certificate of incorporation if the amendment would change the par value, the powers, preferences or special rights of the class or series so as to adversely affect the class or series, as the case may be, or, unless the certificate of incorporation provided otherwise, the number of authorized shares of the class. This right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in the applicable certificate of designation.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger, acquisition or other change in control that stockholders may consider favorable, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempt by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult to replace or remove our board of directors. These provisions include:
| a prohibition on stockholder action through written consent; |
| no cumulative voting in the election of directors; |
| the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director; |
| a requirement that special meetings of stockholders be called only by the board of directors, the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer; |
| an advance notice requirement for stockholder proposals and nominations; |
| the authority of our board of directors to issue preferred stock with such terms as our board of directors may determine; and |
| a requirement that sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally at an election of directors for the removal of any director for cause. |
The combination of these provisions will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Because our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.
These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids.
11
Table of Contents
These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to hostile takeovers and 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 our shares and may have the effect of delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. We believe that the benefits of these provisions, including increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our company, outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover proposals, because negotiation of takeover proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:
| before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; |
| upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, 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 |
| on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder. |
In general, Section 203 defines a business combination to include the following:
| any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder; |
| any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of 10% or more of the assets of the corporation involving the interested stockholder; |
| subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder; |
| any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or |
| the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation. |
In general, Section 203 defines an interested stockholder as an entity or person who, together with the entity or persons affiliates and associates, beneficially owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and within three years prior to the time of determination of interested stockholder status did own, 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.
Choice of Forum
Our certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the exclusive forum for:
| any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; |
12
Table of Contents
| any action asserting a breach of fiduciary duty; |
| any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation, or our bylaws; or |
| any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. |
Recent Amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation
Our certificate of incorporation was amended on May 30, 2019, following stockholder approval at our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 28, 2019, to provide that any of our directors or our entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of our capital stock then entitled to vote on the election of directors. Our certificate of incorporation was further amended on December 10, 2024 to authorize us to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.
We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the Trust Indenture Act). We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered.
The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities.
General
The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us.
We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as discount securities, which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with original issue discount, or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of debt securities being offered, including:
| the title of the series of debt securities; |
| any limit upon the aggregate principal amount that may be issued; |
| the maturity date or dates; |
| the form of the debt securities of the series; |
| the applicability of any guarantees; |

We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our common stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale
Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or otherwise dispose of our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets (other than a subsidiary of ours) must assume all of our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, as appropriate.
Events of Default under the Indenture
Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:
| if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose; |
| if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any; |
| if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and |
| if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. |
16
Table of Contents
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.
Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will 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 the debt securities of that series, provided that:
| the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and |
| subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding. |
A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:
| the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series; |
| the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, |
| such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and |
| the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer. |
These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.
We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.
Modification of Indenture; Waiver
We and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:
| to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series; |
17
Table of Contents
| to comply with the provisions described above under Description of Debt SecuritiesConsolidation, Merger or Sale; |
| to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities; |
| to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture; |
| to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture; |
| to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect; |
| to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under Description of Debt SecuritiesGeneral to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities; |
| to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under any indenture by a successor trustee; or |
| to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of any indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. |
In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:
| extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series; |
| reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or |
| reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver. |
Discharge
Each indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:
| provide for payment; |
| register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series; |
| replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series; |
| pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series; |
| maintain paying agencies; |

18
Table of Contents
| compensate and indemnify the trustee; and |
| appoint any successor trustee. |
In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (DTC) or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.
We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.
If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:
| issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or |
| register the transfer or exchange of any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part. |
Information Concerning the Trustee
The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use
19
Table of Contents
in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given to it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.
We will pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.
All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be distributed to you, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, which may consist of warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be issued in one or more series. Warrants may be offered independently or in combination with common stock, preferred stock or debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following description of warrants will apply to the warrants offered by this prospectus unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may specify different or additional terms.
We have filed forms of the warrant agreements and forms of warrant certificates listing the terms of the warrants that may be offered as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from reports that we file with the SEC, the form of warrant or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, that contain the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering, as well as any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of such warrants. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the warrants are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the form of warrant or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement related to the particular series of warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as any related free writing prospectus, and the complete form of warrant or the warrant agreement and warrant certificate, as applicable, and any supplemental agreements, that list the terms of the warrants.
General
In the applicable prospectus supplement, we will describe the terms of the series of warrants being offered, including, to the extent applicable:
| the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered; |
| the currency for which the warrants may be purchased; |
| the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security; |
| in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable on exercise of one warrant and the price at, and currency in which, this principal amount of debt securities may be purchased on such exercise; |
| in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable on the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased on such exercise; |
| the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreements and the warrants; |
| the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; |
| any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable on exercise of the warrants; |
| the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire; |
21
Table of Contents
| the manner in which the warrant agreements and warrants may be modified; |
| a discussion of material or special U.S. federal income tax considerations of holding or exercising the warrants; |
| the terms of the securities issuable on exercise of the warrants; and |
| any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants. |
Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the securities purchasable on such exercise, including, in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the right to receive dividends, if any, or payments on our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any; or in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the right to receive payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities purchasable on exercise or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrants may be exercised as listed in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, warrants may be exercised at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we list in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
On receipt of payment and the warrant or warrant certificate, as applicable, properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office, including ours, indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, issue and deliver the securities purchasable on such exercise. If less than all of the warrants (or the warrants represented by such warrant certificate) are exercised, a new warrant or a new warrant certificate, as applicable, will be issued for the remaining warrants.
Governing Law
Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the warrants and warrant agreements will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants
Each warrant agent, if any, will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

Table of Contents
LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES
We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee or depositary maintain for this purpose as the holders of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as indirect holders of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.
Book-Entry Holders
We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositarys book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.
Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.
As a result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositarys book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities.
Street Name Holders
We may terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.
For securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not legal holders, of those securities.
Legal Holders
Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.
23
Table of Contents
For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.
Special Considerations for Indirect Holders
If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities are represented by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:
| how it handles securities payments and notices; |
| whether it imposes fees or charges; |
| how it would handle a request for the holders consent, if ever required; |
| whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future; |
| how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and |
| if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositarys rules and procedures will affect these matters. |
Global Securities
A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.
Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, DTC will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.
A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated. As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that has an account with the depositary. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.
If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued as a global security, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.
24
Table of Contents
Special Considerations for Global Securities
As an indirect holder, an investors rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investors financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.
If securities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:
| an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below; |
| an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above; |
| an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form; |
| an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective; |
| the depositarys policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investors interest in the global security; |
| we and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositarys actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security, nor will we or any applicable trustee supervise the depositary in any way; |
| the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and |
| financial institutions that participate in the depositarys book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities. |
There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.
Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated
In a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.
Unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:
| if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days; |
| if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or |
| if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived. |
25
Table of Contents
The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and neither we nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
| at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
| at negotiated prices. |
Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us.
Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
Any common stock will be listed on Nasdaq, but any other securities may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities
27
Table of Contents
in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
We may engage in at the market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, 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 so 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 named 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 and an applicable prospectus supplement. 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.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement is part of a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) under the Securities Act.

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this offering of common stock. The second part is the accompanying base prospectus, which provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. The information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement also adds to, updates and changes information contained or incorporated by reference in the accompanying base prospectus.
Each time we conduct an offering to sell securities under the accompanying base prospectus we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering, including the price, the amount of securities being offered and the plan of distribution.

SUMMARY
The following summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The summary may not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully, including Risk Factors contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision.

Corporate Information
We believe that mental health is as important as physical health. As a global leader in neuroscience, we are delivering more treatment options to patients and healthcare providers by offering exceptional in-office treatments that produce extraordinary results. Our first commercial product, the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System, is a non-invasive and non-systemic office-based treatment that uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to create a pulsed, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-strength magnetic field that induces electrical currents designed to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood. The system is cleared by the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) to treat adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who have failed to achieve satisfactory improvement from at least one prior antidepressant medication in the current MDD episode. It is also cleared by the FDA as an adjunct for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and for adolescent patients aged 15-21 with MDD. It is also cleared by the FDA as an adjunct for adults with OCD, and to decrease anxiety symptoms in adult patients with MDD that may exhibit comorbid anxiety symptoms (anxious depression). In addition to selling the NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System and associated treatment sessions to customers, we operate Greenbrook TMS Inc. (Greenbrook) treatment centers (Treatment Centers) across the U.S., offering NeuroStar Advanced Therapy. We acquired Greenbrook, a leading provider of mental healthcare services, pursuant to an Arrangement Agreement effective as of December 9, 2024. The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is safe, clinically effective, reproducible and precise and we believe is supported by the largest clinical data set of any competing TMS system. Treatment Centers also obtain SPRAVATO® to treat adults with treatment-resistant depression or depressive symptoms in adults suffering from MDD with acute suicidal ideation or behavior.

RISK FACTORS
Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described in this prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, including our audited consolidated financial statements and corresponding managements discussion and analysis. The risks mentioned below are presented as of the date of this prospectus supplement and we expect that these will be updated from time to time in our periodic and current reports filed with or furnished to the SEC, as applicable, which are incorporated herein by reference. Please refer to these subsequent reports for additional information relating to the risks associated with investing in our common stock.
Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the incorporated documents also contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned below. Forward-looking statements included in this prospectus supplement are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and all forward-looking statements in documents incorporated by reference are based on information available to us as of the date of each such document. We are under no obligation to update or alter such forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable securities legislation.
Risks Relating to This Offering
You will experience immediate dilution in the book value per share of common stock you purchase in this offering.
Because the price per share of common stock being offered hereby is substantially higher than the book value per share of common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed public offering price of $3.42 per share, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on July 2, 2025, and assuming that we sell all $50,000,000 of common stock under this prospectus supplement, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, if you purchase common stock in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $2.80 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock. See the section titled Dilution below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of common stock by us in this offering for general corporate purposes. Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering, as described below in the section entitled Use of Proceeds, or in ways that do not necessarily improve our operating results or enhance the value of our common stock. Our stockholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Our failure to use these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and could cause the price of our securities to decline.
S-7
Table of Contents
It is not possible to predict the aggregate proceeds resulting from sales made under the Distribution Agreement.
Subject to certain limitations in the Distribution Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a placement notice to Canaccord at any time throughout the term of the Distribution Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through Canaccord after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our common stock during the sales period, the limits we set with Canaccord in any applicable placement notice, and the demand for our common stock during the sales period. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate during the sales period, it is not currently possible to predict the aggregate proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.
The common stock offered hereby will be sold in at the market offerings, and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and number of shares sold in this offering. In addition, subject to the final determination by our board of directors, there is no minimum or maximum sales price for shares to be sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
The market price and trading volume of our stock may be volatile.
The price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile. Even though our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, an active trading market for our common stock may not be sustained. The lack of an active trading market may impair the value of your shares and your ability to sell your shares at the time you wish to sell them. An inactive trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock and enter into strategic partnerships or acquire other complementary products, technologies or businesses by using shares of our common stock as consideration. Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that we will continue to satisfy the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. For instance, in October 2024, we received notice from Nasdaq that the Company did not meet Nasdaqs minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for the continued listing of our common stock. Although we regained compliance with such rule in November 2024, if we fail to satisfy the continued listing standards in the future, we could be de-listed, which would have a material and negative effect on the price of our common stock.
We cannot predict the prices at which our shares of common stock may trade. The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially due to many factors, including:
| the volume and timing of sales of our products; |
| the introduction of new products or product enhancements by us or others in our industry; |
| disputes or other developments with respect to our or others intellectual property rights; |
| our ability to develop, obtain regulatory clearance for, and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis; |
| product liability claims or other litigation; |
| quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of others in our industry; |
| media exposure of our products or of those of others in our industry; |
| changes in governmental regulations or in reimbursement; |
| changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; |
| sales of shares of our common stock by us, insiders or our stockholders; |
S-8
Table of Contents
| broad trends impacting companies within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical technology industries; and |
| general market conditions and other factors, including the current state of the credit and capital markets, natural disasters and other calamities, including global pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic, or macroeconomic factors such as geopolitical tensions or the outbreak of hostilities or war. |
In recent years, the stock markets generally have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors may significantly affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
In addition, in the past, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. Securities litigation brought against us following volatility in our stock price, regardless of the merit or ultimate results of such litigation, could result in substantial costs, which would hurt our financial condition and operating results and divert managements attention and resources from our business.
Issuances of shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of common stock following this offering, as well as the exercise of options and warrants, will dilute your ownership interests and may adversely affect the future market price of our common stock.
We may need additional capital to fund the development, production and marketing of our products and services. We may seek additional capital through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, strategic partnerships and alliances and licensing arrangements, which may cause your ownership interest to be diluted. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, there were options to purchase 1,218,799 shares of our common stock outstanding at a weighted-average exercise price of $3.63, 3,540,130 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of service-based restricted stock units outstanding, 1,563,750 shares of our common stock issuable upon the vesting and settlement of performance-based restricted stock units and 1,725,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2025, with a weighted-average exercise price of $0.94 per share. If these securities are exercised, you may incur further dilution. Moreover, to the extent that we issue additional options to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of our common stock in the future and those options or other securities are exercised, converted or exchanged, stockholders may experience further dilution.
We do not currently intend to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future, and consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. Consequently, investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on their investments. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which the stockholders have purchased their shares.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required in this offering, the actual total offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize the Distribution Agreement with Canaccord as a source of financing.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of common stock offered hereby for general corporate purposes.
This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, and our management will retain broad discretion as to the ultimate allocation of the proceeds. We may temporarily invest funds that we do not immediately need for these purposes in investment securities or use them to make payments on our borrowings.
S-10
Table of Contents
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared nor paid dividends on our securities. We currently expect to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our securities is subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including, without limitation, our results of operations and financial condition.

DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the between the price per share you pay in this offering and the as-adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering.
The net tangible book value of our common stock as of March 31, 2025 was approximately $1.7 million, or approximately $0.03 per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities divided by the total number of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2025.
After giving effect to the sale by us of common stock in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million at an assumed offering price of $3.42 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on July 2, 2025, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses, our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2025 would have been approximately $49.8 million, or $2.80 per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.59 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $2.80 per share to new investors purchasing common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates this dilution:

|
The table above assumes for illustrative purposes that an aggregate of 14,619,883 shares are sold during the term of the Distribution Agreement with Canaccord at a price of $3.42 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on July 2, 2025, for aggregate gross proceeds of $50.0 million. The shares subject to the Distribution Agreement are being sold from time to time at various prices. This information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and may differ based on the actual offering price and the actual number of shares offered.
The foregoing table is based on 65,814,512 shares of our common stock outstanding as March 31, 2025, and excludes, as of such date, the following:
| 1,223,545 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options granted under our equity incentive plans at a weighted average exercise price of $3.74 per share; |
| 4,750,185 shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Inducement Plan as of March 31, 2025 as well as any annual increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan and 2020 Inducement Plan; |
| 5,371,216 shares of our common stock issuable upon vesting of restricted stock units and performance stock units granted, inclusive of 212,266 shares previously vested and unissued, under our equity incentive plans; and |

| 1,725,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants at a weighted average exercise price of $0.94 per share. |
To the extent that outstanding exercisable options or warrants are exercised or additional restricted stock units vest, you may experience further dilution. In addition, we may need to raise additional capital and to the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity or convertible debt securities your ownership will be further diluted.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into the Distribution Agreement with Canaccord, under which we may offer and sell our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 from time to time through Canaccord, acting as sales agent. We are filing a copy of the Distribution Agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. If authorized by us in writing, Canaccord may also purchase our common stock as principal.
Upon delivery of a placement notice to Canaccord and subject to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, Canaccord may offer and sell our common stock by any method permitted by law deemed to be an at the market offering, as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct Canaccord not to sell our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us from time to time. We or Canaccord may suspend the offering of our common stock upon notice and subject to other conditions.
Canaccord will provide to us written confirmation following the close of trading on Nasdaq each day on which our common stock is sold under the Distribution Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of common stock sold on such day, the net proceeds to the Company, and the compensation payable by us to Canaccord with respect to such sales.
We will pay Canaccord commissions for its services in acting as sales agent in the sale of our common stock. Canaccord is entitled to compensation at a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold by Canaccord under the Distribution Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We have also agreed to reimburse Canaccord for certain reasonable and documented expenses, including fees and disbursements of its counsel, up to an amount of $75,000 incurred in connection with entering into the transactions contemplated by the Distribution Agreement, plus certain ongoing expenses. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding any commissions and the reimbursement payable to Canaccord under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, will be approximately $391,000. Settlement for sales of our common stock will occur on the first business day following the date on which any sales are made, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Canaccord may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
Canaccord will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its sales and trading practices, to solicit offers to purchase our common stock under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Distribution Agreement. In connection with the sale of our common stock on our behalf, Canaccord may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Canaccord (and its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and agents) may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Canaccord against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Exchange Act.
The offering of our common stock pursuant to the Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Distribution Agreement as permitted therein. Canaccord and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the Distribution Agreement, to terminate the Distribution Agreement in each partys sole discretion at any time.
Canaccord and its respective affiliates may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us, our subsidiaries and our affiliates, for which services they may in the future receive customary fees. To the extent required by Regulation M, Canaccord will not engage in any market-making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.
A prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus in electronic format may be made available on a website maintained by Canaccord, and Canaccord may distribute the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus electronically.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors
We are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of directors or officers of a corporation to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except where the director or officer breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he is or is threatened to be made a party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
As permitted by the DGCL, our ninth amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, and fourth amended and restated bylaws provide that: (i) we are required to indemnify our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL; (ii) we may, in our discretion, indemnify our officers, employees and agents as set forth in the DGCL; (iii) we are required, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to advance all expenses incurred by our directors in connection with certain legal proceedings; (iv) the rights conferred in the bylaws are not exclusive; and (v) we are authorized to enter into indemnification agreements with our directors, officers, employees and agents.
We have entered into agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that require us to indemnify them against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts that any such person becomes
II-1
Table of Contents
legally obligated to pay (including with respect to a derivative action) in connection with any proceeding, whether actual or threatened, to which such person may be made a party by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of us or any of our affiliates, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests. The indemnification agreements also set forth certain procedures that will apply in the event of a claim for indemnification thereunder. At present, no litigation or proceeding is pending that involves any of our directors or officers regarding which indemnification is sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
We maintain a directors and officers liability insurance policy. The policy insures directors and officers against unindemnified losses arising from certain wrongful acts in their capacities as directors and officers and reimburses us for those losses for which we have lawfully indemnified the directors and officers. The policy contains various exclusions.
The underwriting agreement, if any, entered into with respect to an offering of securities registered hereunder will provide for indemnification by any underwriters of any offering, our directors and officers who sign this registration statement and our controlling persons for some liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Our investor rights agreement with certain investors also provides for cross-indemnification in connection with this registration of our common stock on behalf of such investors.

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) | 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 SEC 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 the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and |
II-3
Table of Contents
(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (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 SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference into this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this 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, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
II-4
Table of Contents
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 (Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
