We are registering the offer and resale of the Securities to satisfy a covenant set forth in the registration rights agreement entered into on May 12, 2023 executed concurrently with a securities purchase agreement as of even date thereof with respect to the private placement, pursuant to which we agreed to register the resale of these shares of our common stock within a limited period of time following the date of the registration rights agreement.

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling stockholders, although we will receive proceeds from the cash exercise of any Warrants as well as the nominal exercise price upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

Any shares of our common stock subject to resale hereunder will have been issued by us and received by the selling stockholders prior to any resale of such shares pursuant to this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders, or its donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest, may offer or resell the shares from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees (other than commissions and discounts and similar selling expenses) in connection with the registration of the shares. For additional information on the methods of sale that may be used by the selling stockholders, see “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 13 of this prospectus.

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NSPR.” On May 19, 2023, the last reported sale price of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $1.80 per share.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary provides an overview of selected information contained elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. You should carefully read the prospectus, the information incorporated by reference and the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part in their entirety before investing in our securities, including the information discussed under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference and our financial statements and related notes that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

Our Business

 

We are a medical device company focusing on the development and commercialization of our proprietary MicroNet™ stent platform for the treatment of carotid artery disease and other vascular disease. A stent is an expandable “scaffold-like” device, usually constructed of a metallic material, that is inserted into the lumen of the artery to create patency and revascularization of blood flow. MicroNet, a micron mesh sleeve, is attached over a stent to provide embolic protection both during and after stenting procedures.

 

Our CGuard™ carotid embolic prevention system, or CGuard EPS™”, combines MicroNet and a unique self-expandable nitinol stent in a single device for use in carotid artery revascularization. Our CGuard EPS originally received CE mark approval under Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC . or MDD, in the European Union, or EU, in March 2013 and was fully launched in Europe in September 2015. Subsequently, we launched CGuard EPS in over 30 countries and on February 3, 2021, we executed a distribution agreement with Chinese partners for the purpose of expanding our presence in the Asian markets. Currently, we are seeking strategic partners for a potential launch of CGuard EPS in Japan and other Asian countries.

 

Our CE mark for CGuard EPS under the MDD expired on November 12, 2022 and we are in the final stages of technical documentation review by the Notified Body auditor to meet the Medical Device Regulation, or MDR, (MDR 2017/745) requirements (which replaced the MDD) for recertification. In the meantime, on February 14, 2023, we received a derogation per Article 97 paragraph 1 of Regulation 2017/745 from the Agency for Medicines and Health Products (FAMHP) allowing us to continue marketing CGuard EPS in the EU until August 15, 2023 subject to certain procedural requirements. Subsequently, on March 20, 2023, Regulation (EU) 2023/607 was published allowing us to continue marketing CGuard EPS in EU countries under the MDD directive until December 31, 2027. As a result of the foregoing, we may market and sell CGuard EPS in the EU and certain other jurisdictions subject to certain procedural requirements while our MDR CE recertification is pending. We continue to expedite the review process for recertification under the MDR.

 

On September 8, 2020, we received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. or FDA, of our Investigation Device Exemption, or IDE,, thereby allowing us to proceed with a pivotal study of our CGuard™ Carotid Stent System, C-Guardians, for prevention of stroke in patients in the United States. C-Guardians is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CGuard™ Carotid Sten System when used to treat symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. The trial was designed to enroll approximately 315 subjects in a maximum of 40 study sites located in the United States and Europe. Study sites in Europe may contribute a maximum of approximately 50% of the total enrollees. The primary endpoint of the study will be the composite of incidence of death (all-cause mortality), all stroke, and myocardial infarction (DSMI) through 30-days post-index procedure, based on the clinical events committee (CEC) adjudication and ipsilateral stroke from 31-365 day follow-up, based on Clinical Events Committee (CEC) adjudication. The composite index will be compared to a performance goal based on the observed rate of the two components of the primary endpoint from previous pivotal stent trials which are considered industry standard. The performance goal will be considered met if the upper bound of the two-sided 95% confidence interval calculated from the observed primary endpoint rate is < 11.6% and the p-value is less than 0.025.

On July 23, 2021, we announced the initiation of enrollment and successful completion of the first cases of our C-Guardian trial of CGuard EPS. These are 315 patients who are expected to be enrolled in the trial and receive CGuard EPS in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients undergoing carotid artery stenting. We are currently continuing with the enrolment phase at approximately 20 trial sites and expect it to be completed approximately at the end of the second quarter of 2023.

 

Additionally, we intend to continue to invest in current and future potential new indications, products and manufacturing enhancements for CGuard EPS that are expected to reduce cost of goods and/or provide the best-in-class performing delivery systems, such as CGuard Prime™for transfemoral access. In furtherance of our strategy that focuses on establishing CGuard EPS as a viable alternative to vascular surgery, we are developing a new transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) delivery system, SwitchGuard™, for transcarotid access and neuro protection. In addition, we intend to explore new indications for CGuard EPS to leverage the advantages of stent design and mesh protection, well suited in labels such as acute stroke with tandem lesions.

 

We consider our current addressable market for our CGuard EPS to be individuals with diagnosed, symptomatic high-grade carotid artery stenosis (HGCS, ≥70% occlusion) for whom intervention is preferable to medical (drug) therapy. This group includes not only carotid artery stenting patients but also individuals undergoing carotid endarterectomy, as the two approaches compete for the same patient population. Assuming full penetration of the intervention caseload by CGuard EPS, we estimate that the addressable market for CGuard EPS will be approximately $1.3 billion in 2023 (source: Health Research International Personal Medical Systems, Inc. September 13, 2021 Results of Update Report on Global Carotid Stenting Procedures and Markets by Major Geography and Addressable Markets and internal estimates). According to this same report, and internal estimates, assuming full penetration of the caseload for all individuals diagnosed with high-grade carotid artery stenosis, we estimate that the total available market for CGuard EPS in 2022 will be approximately $9.3 billion. Our mission is to offer a comprehensive set of delivery solutions (TCAR and Transfemoral) in order to deliver best in class results through patient outcomes by way of stent performance with CGuard EPS.

 

We were organized in the State of Delaware on February 29, 2008.

 

Private Placement

 

On May 12, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue in a private placement, or the Private Placement Offering, an aggregate of our 10,266,270 shares of common stock, Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to 15,561,894 of our shares of common stock, and Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 51,656,328 of our shares of common stock, consisting of Series H warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock, Series I warrants to purchase up to 12,914,078 shares of common stock, Series J warrants to purchase up to 12,914,086 shares of common stock and Series K warrants to purchase up to 12,914,078 shares of common stock, at an offering price of $1.6327 per Share and associated Warrants and an offering price of $1.6326 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrants. The Private Placement Offering closed on May 16, 2023. Aggregate gross proceeds to the Company in respect of the Private Placement Offering are approximately $42.2 million, before deducting fees payable to the placement agent and other offering expenses payable by the Company. If the Warrants are exercised in cash in full this would result in an additional $71.4 million of gross proceeds.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share and will not expire until exercised in full. The Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price of $1.3827 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. The Warrants have a term of the earlier of (i) five years from the date of issuance and (ii) (A) in the case of the Series H Warrants, 20 trading days following the Company’s public release of primary and secondary end points related to one year follow up study results from the Company’s C-Guardians pivotal trial, (B) in the case of the Series I Warrants, 20 trading days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of Premarket Approval (PMA) from the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the CGuard Prime Carotid Stent System (135 cm), (C) in the case of the Series J Warrants, 20 trading days following the Company’s announcement of receipt of FDA approval for the SwitchGuard transcarotid system and CGuard Prime 80 cm and (D) in the case on the Series K Warrants, 20 trading days following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter after the fiscal quarter in which the first commercial sales of the CGuard Carotid Stent System in the United States begin.

 

The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the shares underlying the Warrants. Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants, certain of the selling stockholders may not exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants which have not been exercised. The Warrants may be exercised into pre-funded warrants if the selling stockholder is unable to exercise the Warrant due to the foregoing beneficial ownership limitation or at the selling shareholder’s election. The Warrant Shares being registered hereunder include any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrants.

 

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement, or the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we are required to file a resale registration statement, or the Registration Statement, with the SEC to register for resale the Securities within 20 days of the signing date of the Purchase Agreement, or the Signing Date, and to have such Registration Statement declared effective within 45 days after the Signing Date in the event the Registration Statement is not reviewed by the SEC, or 90 days of the Signing Date in the event the Registration Statement is reviewed by the SEC. We are obligated to pay certain liquidated damages if we fail to file the Registration Statement when required, if we fail to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC when required, of if we fail to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part relates to the offer and resale of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants (and pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrant) issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. When we refer to the selling stockholders in this prospectus, we are referring to the persons names as the selling stockholders in this prospectus and, as applicable, any donees, pledgees, assignees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling the Securities received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer.

 

During the period commencing on the closing of the Private Placement Offering and ending on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Private Placement Offering and (ii) the date that any of OrbiMed Advisors LLC, or OrbiMed, and Soleus Capital Management, L.P. , or Soleus, holds less than 50% of the Private Placement Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, then OrbiMed and Soleus shall each have the right, subject to certain exceptions, to appoint an independent, non-voting board observer, or a Board Observer, and such Board Observer shall have the right to, among others things, be present and participate at meetings of the board of directors, or any committee thereof, of the Company.

 

The Company paid LifeSci Capital LLC, a placement fee equal to 5.6% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the closing of the Private Placement Offering, or approximately $2.4 million, and legal expenses of $41,600. In addition, the Company paid Piper Sandler & Co. a financial advisory fee of $1.5 million, AGP/Alliance Global Partners a financial advisory fee of $250,000 and lead investor counsel expenses of $125,000.

 

The foregoing summary descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and are incorporated by reference herein.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our securities involves certain risks. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk set forth below, as well as the risks described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any updates to those risks in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus. The risks so described are not the only risks facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and could result in a loss of all or part of your investment. In any case, the value of the securities offered by means of this prospectus could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

The sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, including resale of the Securities issued or issuable to the selling stockholders, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock.

 

We are registering for resale up to 77,484,492 shares of our common stock consisting of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants (and pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrant) issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and the market value of our other securities. We cannot predict if and when the selling stockholders may sell such shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of our common stock or other equity or debt securities exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of our common stock. Any such issuances could result in substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus contain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment and regulation. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will probably not be accurate indications of when such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information we have when those statements are made or our management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders.

 

We may receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants as well as the nominal exercise price upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised. We can make no assurances that any of the Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercised, or if exercised, the quantity that will be exercised or the period in which such Warrants or Pre-Funded Warrants will be exercised.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants for product and clinical development, obtaining regulatory approvals, expansion of manufacturing capabilities, commercial readiness activities to support potential new product launches including CGuard Prime and SwitchGuard in the US and EU as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders consisting of the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrant Shares and Warrant Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants (and pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrant) issued to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. See “Prospectus Summary – Private Placement.”

 

The following table sets forth the number and percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of May 19, 2023, taking into account number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus and the number and percentage of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all of the shares offered under this prospectus are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days.

 

All information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders. The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding shares of our common stock to be beneficially owned after the offering under this prospectus assumes the sale of all shares of our common stock being offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. The percentage of shares of our common stock owned prior to and after the offering under this prospectus is based on 21,192,204 shares of our common stock outstanding as of May 19, 2023. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that the selling stockholders has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of our common stock indicated as beneficially owned.

 

To our knowledge, except for Gary Roubin, Michael Berman and Thomas J. Kester, our directors, and Paul Stuka, who is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and except as described above, neither the selling stockholders nor any of their affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders have held any position or office or had any other material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

 

As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholder” includes the selling stockholders named below and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of our common stock received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer.

The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Common Stock Offered” represents all of the shares of our common stock that the selling stockholders may offer under this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus and that the selling stockholder does not acquire any additional shares of our common stock before the completion of the offering under this prospectus. However, because the selling stockholders may sell all or some of the shares offered under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares of our common stock that will be sold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of any sales. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of the shares of our common stock offered under this prospectus. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the Shares, Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants (and pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrant), whether any will exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants, and upon such exercise, how long such selling stockholders will hold the shares of common stock before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares of common stock.

 

Under the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants and Warrants, certain of the selling stockholders may not exercise the Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants (and pre-funded warrants that the selling stockholder may elect to receive in lieu of shares of common stock under the terms of the Warrant) to the extent such exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% or 9.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination common stock issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or directors’ resolution or by contract. Any repeal or modification of these provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.

 

We are also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer, employee or other agent for liability arising out of his or her actions, whether or not the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware would permit indemnification.

Item 17. Undertakings.

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (a) (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
     
      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
     
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
     
      (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 (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

  (i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

  (A) 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
     
  (B) 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 of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

II-4
 

 

  (ii) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use.

 

  (5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 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.

 

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities 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 of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
