SELLING STOCKHOLDER

This prospectus supplement covers the offering for resale of up to 500,000 shares of common stock by the selling stockholder. The selling stockholder may sell the shares of common stock from time to time in the open market, on the NASDAQ, in privately negotiated transactions or a combination of these methods, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices, or otherwise as described under the section titled “Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying prospectus.

We will bear all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement. Brokerage commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares of common stock will be borne by the selling stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares being sold by the selling stockholder.

No such sales may occur unless the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and remains effective at the time such selling stockholder offers or sells such shares of common stock. We are required to update the related prospectus to reflect material developments in our business, financial position and results of operations.

The following table sets forth the name of the selling stockholder, the number of shares of common stock owned and the percentage of shares of common stock outstanding owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering, the number of shares of common stock being offered for the selling stockholder’s account, and the amount to be owned and the percentage of shares of common stock outstanding owned by the selling stockholder following the completion of the offering (assuming the selling stockholder sells all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus supplement). The percentages of shares of common stock outstanding have been calculated based on 37,224,109 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 4, 2022. Mr. Warren B. Kanders, the Company’s Executive Chairman and a member of its Board of Directors, is a majority member and a trustee of the manager of the selling stockholder.

We have prepared the table and the related notes based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholder. We have not sought to verify such information. Additionally, the selling stockholder may have sold or transferred some or all of the shares of common stock listed below in exempt or non-exempt transactions since the date on which the information was provided to us. Other information about the selling stockholder may change over time.

Selling stockholders who are registered broker-dealers are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. In addition, selling stockholders who are affiliates of registered broker-dealers are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act if such selling stockholder (a) did not acquire its shares of common stock in the ordinary course of business or (b) had an agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common shares. To our knowledge, the selling stockholder is not a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer which received any securities as underwriting compensation.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Please carefully consider the risk factors described in our periodic and current reports filed with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, as well as any risks that may be set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to a specific security. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus or include in any applicable prospectus supplement. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our securities to decline. You could lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we deem currently immaterial may also impair our business operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The use of proceeds from the sale of our securities will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless stated otherwise in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we will use the net proceeds from the sale of securities described in this prospectus for general corporate purposes.

When a particular series of securities is offered, the accompanying prospectus supplement will set forth our intended use for the net proceeds received from the sale of those securities. Pending application for specific purposes, the net proceeds may be invested in marketable securities.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of common stock by selling stockholders.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK

The following description of our common stock does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to applicable Delaware law and qualified by reference to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (the “Bylaws”), and Rights Agreement. Copies of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, and Rights Agreement are incorporated by reference and will be sent to stockholders upon request. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

Authorized Common Stock

We have authorized 100,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of March 3, 2021 there were 31,304,181 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Voting Rights, Dividend Rights, Liquidation Rights and Other Rights

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, as the Company has not implemented a staggered board of directors or granted stockholders cumulative voting rights, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock that are entitled to vote in any election of directors will have the ability to elect all of the directors standing for election. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock of the Company. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably the net assets of the Company available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock of the Company. Holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock which the Company may designate and issue in the future.

Acquisition Restrictions

To help ensure the preservation of its net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”), the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation generally restricts any person from attempting to purchase or acquire (any such purchase or acquisition being an “Acquisition”), any direct or indirect interest in Clarus’ capital stock (or options, warrants or other rights to acquire Clarus’ capital stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Clarus’ capital stock), if such Acquisition would affect the percentage of Clarus’ capital stock owned by a 5% stockholder (the “Acquisition Restrictions” and any person attempting such an Acquisition, being referred to as a “Restricted Holder”). For purposes of determining the existence and identity of, and the amount of capital stock owned by, any 5% stockholder or Restricted Holders, Clarus is entitled to rely conclusively on (a) the existence and absence of filings of Schedules 13D and 13G (or any similar schedules) as of any date and (b) its actual knowledge of the ownership of its capital stock. The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation further provides that a Restricted Holder will be required, prior to the date of any proposed Acquisition, to request in writing (a “Request”) that the Board review the proposed Acquisition and authorize or not authorize such proposed Acquisition. If a Restricted Holder seeks to effect an Acquisition, then at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Board (which are generally held once during each calendar quarter) following the tenth business day after receipt by the Secretary of the Company of a Request, the Board will be required to determine whether to authorize the proposed Acquisition described in the Request. Any determination made by the Board as whether to authorize a proposed Acquisition will be made in the sole discretion and judgment of the Board. The Board shall promptly inform a Restricted Holder making the Request of such determination. Additionally, any Restricted Holder who makes such a Request shall reimburse Clarus, on demand, for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Clarus with respect to any proposed Acquisition, which may be material in relation to the Acquisition and will include the fees and expenses of any attorneys, accountants or other advisors retained by Clarus in connection with such determination.

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that any person who knowingly violates the Acquisition Restrictions or any persons in the same control group with such person shall be jointly and severally liable to Clarus for, and shall indemnify and hold Clarus harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including but not limited to damages resulting from a reduction in or elimination of the ability of Clarus to use its NOLs.

All certificates representing newly issued shares of the Company’s capital stock or shares voted in favor of the Acquisition Restrictions and subsequently submitted for transfer, must bear the following legend:

“The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) of the Corporation contains restrictions prohibiting the purchase or acquisition (collectively, the “Acquisition”) of any capital stock without the authorization of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”), if such Acquisition affects the percentage of capital stock that is treated as owned by a five percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), and such Acquisition would, in the sole discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors, jeopardize the Corporation’s preservation of its U.S. federal income tax attributes pursuant to Section 382 of the Code and is not otherwise in the best interests of the Corporation and its stockholders. The Corporation will furnish without charge to the holder of record of this certificate a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation, containing the above-referenced restrictions on acquisitions of stock, upon written request to the Corporation at its principal place of business.”

The Board has the discretion to approve an Acquisition of stock that would otherwise violate the Acquisition Restrictions in circumstances where it determines that such Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In determining whether or not to permit an Acquisition which may result in violation of the Acquisition Restrictions, the Board may consider factors it deems relevant including the likelihood that the Acquisition would result in an ownership change to occur that would limit the Company’s use of its NOLs. In addition, the Board is authorized to eliminate the Acquisition Restrictions, modify the applicable allowable percentage ownership interest or modify any of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Restrictions provided that the Board concludes in writing that such change is reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve the Company’s NOLs or that the continuation of the affected terms and conditions of the Acquisition Restrictions is no longer reasonably necessary for such purpose.

The Acquisition Restrictions may have anti-takeover effects because they will restrict the ability of a person or entity or group thereof from accumulating an aggregate of 5% or more of the Company’s capital stock and the ability of persons, entities or groups now owning 5% or more of the Company’s capital stock from acquiring additional stock. Although the Acquisition Restrictions are designed as a protective measure to preserve and protect the Company’s NOLs, the Acquisition Restrictions may have the effect of impeding or discouraging a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, even if such a transaction may be favorable to the interests of some or all of the Company’s stockholders. This might prevent stockholders from realizing an opportunity to sell all or a portion of their shares of common stock at higher than market prices. In addition, the Acquisition Restrictions may delay the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of capital stock and the removal of incumbent directors and management, even if such removal may be beneficial to some or all of the Company’s stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Acquisition Restrictions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Preferred Share Purchase Rights

On February 12, 2008, Clarus entered into a Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company that provides for the terms of a rights plan including a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock. The dividend is payable to Clarus’ stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 12, 2008 (the “Record Date”).

The Board adopted the Rights Agreement to protect the Company’s ability to carry forward its NOLs, which the Company believes are a substantial asset. The Rights Agreement is designed to assist in limiting the number of 5% or more owners and thus reduce the risk of a possible “change of ownership” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Any such “change of ownership” under these rules would limit or eliminate the ability of the Company to use its existing NOLs for federal income tax purposes. However, there is no guarantee that the objective of preserving the value of the NOLs will be achieved. There is a possibility that certain stock transactions may be completed by stockholders or prospective stockholders that could trigger a “change of ownership,” and there are other limitations on the use of NOLs set forth in the Code.

The Rights Agreement imposes a significant penalty upon any person or group that acquires 4.9% or more (but less than 50%) of Clarus’ then-outstanding common stock without the prior approval of the Board. Stockholders who own 4.9% or more of Clarus’ then-outstanding common stock as of the close of business on the Record Date, will not trigger the Rights Agreement so long as they do not increase their ownership of common stock. Moreover, the Board may exempt any person or group that owns 4.9% or more. A person or group that acquires a percentage of common stock in excess of the applicable threshold but less than 50% of Clarus’ then-outstanding common stock is called an “Acquiring Person.” Any Rights held by an Acquiring Person are void and may not be exercised.

The Board authorized the issuance of one Right per each share of common stock outstanding on the Record Date and further authorized the issuance of one Right (subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement) with respect to each share of common stock issued or delivered by Clarus after the Record Date but prior to the earlier of the Distribution Date (as defined below) or the expiration date of the Rights, or as otherwise provided in the Rights Agreement. If the Rights become exercisable, each Right would allow its holder to purchase from Clarus one one-hundredth of a share of Clarus’ Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $12.00. Each fractional share of Series A Preferred Stock would give the stockholder approximately the same dividend, voting and liquidation rights as one share of common stock. Prior to exercise, however, a Right will not give its holder any dividend, voting or liquidation rights.

The Rights will not be exercisable until 10 days after a public announcement by Clarus that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person. Until the date that the Rights become exercisable (the “Distribution Date”), Clarus’ common stock certificates will evidence the Rights and will contain a notation to that effect. Any transfer of shares of common stock prior to the Distribution Date will constitute a transfer of the associated Rights. After the Distribution Date, the Rights will be separated from the common stock and be evidenced by a rights certificate, which Clarus will mail to all holders of the rights that are not void.

If a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person after the Distribution Date or already is an Acquiring Person and acquires more shares after the Distribution Date, all holders of Rights, except the Acquiring Person, may exercise their rights to purchase shares of Clarus’ common stock with a market value of two times the purchase price (or other securities or assets as determined by the Board) upon payment of the purchase price (a “Flip-In Event”). After the Distribution Date, if a Flip-In Event has already occurred and Clarus is acquired in a merger or similar  transaction, all holders of the Rights except the Acquiring Person may exercise their Rights upon payment of the purchase price to purchase shares of the acquiring corporation with a market value of two times the purchase price of the Rights (a “Flip-Over Event”). Rights may be exercised to purchase shares of Clarus’ Series A Preferred Stock only after the occurrence of the Distribution Date and prior to the occurrence of a Flip-In Event as described above. A Distribution Date resulting from any occurrence described above would necessarily follow the occurrence of a Flip-In Event, in which case the Rights could be exercised to purchase shares of common stock or other securities as described above. 

The Rights will expire at such time the Board determines that the NOLs are fully utilized or no longer available under Section 382 of the Code or the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by the Company as described below. The Board may redeem all (but not less than all) of the Rights for a redemption price of $0.0001 per Right at any time prior to the later of the Distribution Date and the date of the first public announcement or disclosure by Clarus that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person. Once the Rights are redeemed, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate, and the only right of the holders of the Rights will be to receive the redemption price. The redemption price will be adjusted if Clarus declares a stock split or issues a stock dividend on its common stock. After the later of the Distribution Date and the date of the first public announcement by Clarus that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person, but before an Acquiring Person owns 50% or more of Clarus’ outstanding common stock, the Board may exchange each Right (other than the Rights that have become void) for one share of common stock or an equivalent security.

The Board may adjust the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock, the number of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issuable and the number of outstanding Rights to prevent dilution that may occur as a result of certain events, including a stock dividend, a stock split or a reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock or common stock. No adjustments to the purchase price of less than 1% will be made.

Before the time the Rights cease to be redeemable, the Board may amend or supplement the Rights Agreement without the consent of the holders of the Rights, except that no amendment may decrease the redemption price below $0.0001 per right. At any time thereafter, the Board may amend or supplement the Rights Agreement only to cure an ambiguity, to alter time period provisions, to correct inconsistent provisions or to make any additional changes to the Rights Agreement, but only to the extent that those changes do not impair or adversely affect any Rights holder and do not result in the Rights becoming redeemable.

The foregoing description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of our preferred stock. The particular terms of any series of preferred stock offered by us will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such offering. The following description of our preferred stock does not purport to be complete and is subject in all respects to applicable Delaware law and qualified by reference to the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the certificate of designation relating to each series of our preferred stock, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at or prior to the time of issuance of such series of preferred stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes our Board to issue, without further stockholder approval, up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, having a par value of $0.0001 per share, 1,000,000 of which have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001. See “Description of Common Stock – Preferred Share Purchase Rights.” As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.

Our Board is authorized to fix the designation and relative rights for each series of preferred stock, and the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth with respect to such series, the following information:

The transfer agent and registrar for each series of preferred stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

The debt securities may be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. The senior debt securities and the subordinated debt securities are together referred to in this prospectus as the “debt securities.” The form of indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We will include in a supplement to this prospectus the specific terms of each series of debt securities being offered. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the debt securities and the indenture are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under such indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be our direct unsecured obligations. The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities that we may issue and provides that we may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the indenture.

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

If specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, certain of our subsidiaries will guarantee the debt securities. The particular terms of any guarantee will be described in the related prospectus supplement. Any guarantees will be joint and several and full and unconditional obligations of the guarantors. The obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities or any combination thereof. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be attached to or separate from any such offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants. Warrants will be offered and exercisable for United States dollars only. Warrant will be issued in registered form only. The particular terms of any warrants will be described in the related prospectus supplement.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws could have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and in the policies formulated by the Board and to discourage an unsolicited takeover of us if the Board determines that such takeover is not in the best interests of us and our stockholders. However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging certain attempts to acquire us or remove incumbent management even if some or a majority of stockholders deemed such an attempt to be in their best interests.

The provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws include: (a) a procedure which requires stockholders to nominate directors in advance of a meeting to elect such directors; (b) the authority to issue additional shares of preferred stock without stockholder approval; (c) the number of directors on our Board will be fixed exclusively by the Board; (d) any newly created directorship or any vacancy in our Board resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or the death, disability, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause will be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; and (e) our Bylaws may be amended by our Board.

The DGCL contains statutory “anti-takeover” provisions, including Section 203 of the DGCL which applies automatically to a Delaware corporation unless that corporation elects to opt-out as provided in Section 203. We, as a Delaware corporation, have not elected to opt-out of Section 203 of the DGCL. Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a stockholder acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation (an “Interested Stockholder”) but less than 85% of such shares may not engage in certain business combinations with the corporation for a period of three years subsequent to the date on which the stockholder became an Interested Stockholder unless prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approves either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an Interested Stockholder, or the business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of at least 66^2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the Interested Stockholder.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Pursuant to provisions of the DGCL, we have adopted provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation that provide that our directors shall not be personally liable for monetary damages to us or our stockholders for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the full extent that the Securities Act permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors.

We have in effect a directors and officers liability insurance policy indemnifying our directors and officers and the directors and officers of our subsidiaries within a specific limit for certain liabilities incurred by them, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We pay the entire premium of this policy. Our Certificate of Incorporation also contains a provision for the indemnification by us of all of our directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Exclusive Forum

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, other employee or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing forum selection provisions.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates in part to the possible sale by certain of our stockholders who are referred to herein as “selling stockholders,” and may from time to time offer and sell such securities pursuant to this prospectus and  any applicable prospectus supplement. These shares of our common stock were issued to certain of the selling stockholders on May 28, 2010, as consideration paid in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Gregory Mountain Products, Inc., pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. 

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the name of each of the selling stockholders, the amount of our common stock owned by each selling stockholder prior to the offering, the number of shares of our common stock to be offered by each selling stockholder and the amount of our common stock to be owned by each selling stockholder after completion of the offering. The applicable prospectus supplement will also disclose whether any of the selling stockholders has held any position or office with, has been employed by or otherwise has had a material relationship with us (or any of our predecessors or affiliates) during the three years prior to the date of such prospectus supplement.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We and any selling stockholder may sell securities in any of three ways (or in any combination) from time to time:

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of such securities, including:

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

We and any selling stockholder may effect the distribution of the securities from time to time in one or more transactions either:

If underwriters are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The securities may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’ obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities (other than any securities purchased upon exercise of any option to purchase additional securities).

Any selling stockholders, where applicable, may also resell all or a portion of their shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act provided they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule, Section 4(1) of the Securities Act or other applicable exemptions, regardless of whether the securities are covered by the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. 

We and any selling stockholder may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The applicable prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions paid to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. In addition, we or any selling stockholder may enter into derivative, sale or forward sale transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with such a transaction, the third parties may, pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. If so, a third party may use securities borrowed from us or others to settle such sales and may use securities received from us, any selling stockholder or others to settle those sales to close out any related short positions. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). We and any selling stockholder may also loan or pledge securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement to third parties, who may sell the loaned securities or, in an event of default in the case of a pledge, sell the pledged securities pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. We may also sell the securities directly, in which event, no underwriters or agents will be involved.

Any selling stockholders, underwriters, broker-dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” as defined in the Securities Act. Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to any such persons, and any profits they receive on resale of the securities, may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Additionally, because selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, selling stockholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Agents, underwriters and dealers may be entitled under relevant agreements with us or any selling stockholder to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, underwriters and dealers may be required to make in respect thereof. The terms and conditions of any indemnification or contribution will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may pay any or all expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the shares of common stock owned by any selling stockholders, other than underwriting fees, discounts or commissions, which will be borne by the selling stockholders.

Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or concessions from us or any selling stockholder.  Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation from the purchasers of securities for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals, or both.  Compensation as to a particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent might be in excess of customary commissions and will be in amounts to be negotiated in connection with transactions involving securities. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by us or any selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in the resales. Maximum compensation to any underwriters, dealers or agents will not exceed any applicable FINRA limitations.

Underwriters or agents may purchase and sell the securities in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotments, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotments involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities and are permitted so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve the placing of any bid on behalf of the underwriting syndicate or the effecting of any purchase to reduce a short position created in connection with an offering. The underwriters or agents also may impose a penalty bid, which permits them to reclaim selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or certain dealers if they repurchase the securities in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. These activities, if begun, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange on which the securities are traded, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

We may sell the securities directly. In that event, no underwriters or agents would be involved. We may also sell the securities through agents designated from time to time. In the prospectus supplement, we will name any  agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities, and we will describe any commissions payable by us to the agent. Unless we inform you otherwise in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment. 

Agents and underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof.

Agents and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or the selling stockholders in the ordinary course of business.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering of common stock will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The place and time of delivery for securities will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement for such securities.
