366,000 Shares of Common Stock

Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock

 

SACKS PARENTE GOLF, INC.

 

 

Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “SPG”) is offering 366,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”), at an offering price of $2.00 per share, pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus.

 

We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of Shares in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Strock (the “Pre-funded Warrants”), in lieu of shares of Common Stock. The purchase price of each Pre-funded Warrant is equal to the price per share being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.0001. The Pre-funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. For each Pre-funded Warrant we sell, the number of shares of Common Stock that we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis.

 

Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “SPGC.” The last reported sale price of our shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq on October 8, 2024 was $3.55 per share.

 

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or our public float, was $2,531,000 based on 667,825 outstanding shares of Common Stock held by non-affiliates and a per share price of $3.79, which was the closing price of our shares of Common Stock on September 26, 2024 and is the highest closing sale price of our shares of Common Stock on Nasdaq within the prior 60 days. In no event will we sell securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 in a public primary offering with value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as our public float remains below US$75 million and General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 continues to apply to us. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 during the prior 12-month calendar period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospectus supplement (but excluding this offering). We are thus currently eligible to offer and sell up to an aggregate of $843,000 of our securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form F-3.

 

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company under Rule 405 of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and future filings.

See “Risk Factors” on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, as well as the risk factors incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus for a discussion of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to purchase these securities.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement or accompanying base prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

   Per Share    Total 
Price to the public  $2.00    $732,000 
Underwriting discounts and commissions(1)  $0.14    $51,000 
Proceeds to us, before expenses  $1.86    $681,000 

 

(1) We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain expenses. See “Underwriting” for a description of the compensation payable to the underwriter.

 

We have granted a 45-day option to the representatives of the underwriter to purchase up to an additional 54,900 shares of Common Stock (equal to 15% of the number of shares of common stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold in this offering) or any combination thereof, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

 

The underwriter expects to deliver the securities to purchasers on or about October 10, 2024.

Our Company

 

Overview

 

We are a technology-forward golf company, with a growing portfolio of golf products, including putting instruments, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related products. In consideration of our growth opportunities in shaft technologies, in April of 2022, we expanded our manufacturing business to include advanced premium golf shafts by opening a new shaft manufacturing facility in St. Jospeh, Mo. It is our intent to manufacture and assemble substantially all products in the United States as is economically feasible. We anticipate expansion into golf apparel and other golf-related product lines to enhance our growth. Our future expansions may include broadening our offerings through mergers, acquisitions or internal developments of product lines that are complementary to our premium brand.

 

We currently sell our products through our website, resellers and distributors in the United States, Japan and South Korea.

 

Corporate Information

 

We were formed in 2018 as Sacks Parente Golf, LLC, a Delaware limited company. On March 18, 2022, we converted into a Delaware corporation named Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. Pursuant to our Plan of Conversion, on March 18, 2022, all of the outstanding ownership interests in Sacks Parente Golf, LLC and rights to receive such interest were converted into and exchanged for shares of capital stock of Sacks Parente Golf, Inc.

 

On August 17, 2023, we closed our initial public offering pursuant to which we sold 320,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $40 per share. We received total proceeds net of fees of $11,594,000. Our principal executive offices are located at 551 Calle San Pablo, Camarillo, California 93012 and our phone number is (855) 774-7888.

 

We effected a reverse stock split of 1-for-10 on July 30, 2024 in order to satisfy compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules to maintain a closing bid price of our common stock of at least $1.00 per share. As a result of the reverse split, every 10 shares of common stock were automatically combined into one share of common stock.

 

S-2

 

 

We are an “emerging growth company” (an “EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. As an EGC, we are eligible for exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, and under similar headings in our subsequently filed reports on Form 8-K, and other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our shares of Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

 

Risks Related to This Offering

 

The sale of a substantial amount of our shares of Common Stock could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our shares of Common Stock.

 

We are offering 366,000 shares of Common Stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our shares of Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our shares of Common Stock. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our share price to decline.

 

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

 

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share you purchase in the offering.

 

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share outstanding prior to this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 366,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share, and      after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $0.28 per share, representing the difference between our net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024 after giving effect to this offering and the offering price. The exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options may also result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you may incur if you participate in this offering.

 

S-5

 

 

There is no public market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop for the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited. Further, the existence of the Pre-funded Warrants may act to reduce both the trading volume and the trading price of our shares of Common Stock.

 

The Pre-funded Warrants are speculative in nature.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants, until holders of Pre-funded Warrants acquire shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to our shares of Common Stock underlying such Pre-funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder of our shares of Common Stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Pre-funded Warrants is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the market price of our shares of Common Stock will ever equal or exceed the price of the Pre-funded Warrants, and, consequently, whether it will ever be profitable for investors to exercise their Pre-funded Warrants.

 

We will not receive any meaningful amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

Each Pre-funded Warrant will be exercisable until it is fully exercised and by means of payment of the nominal cash purchase price upon exercise or through a “cashless exercise” procedure. Accordingly, we will not receive any meaningful additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

Holders of the Pre-funded Warrants will have no rights as common shareholders until such holders exercise their Pre-funded Warrants and acquire our shares of Common Stock.

 

Until holders of the Pre-funded Warrants exercise their Pre-funded Warrants and acquire shares of Common Stock, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock underlying such Pre-funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities.

You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein.

A severe or prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect our wholesale customers’ financial condition, their levels of business activity and their ability to pay trade obligations;

If we are unable to successfully manage the introduction of new products that perform and satisfy changing consumer preferences, it could significantly and adversely impact financial performance and prospects for future growth;

 

Our golf equipment, golf gear and other related golf business products could have a concentrated customer base. The loss of a major customer could have a significant effect on our sales;

 

Our business depends on a strong brand and related reputation, and if we are not able to build, maintain and enhance our brand or build a strong reputation, our sales may be adversely affected;

 

International political instability and terrorist activities may decrease demand for our products and disrupt our business;

 

Our business could be harmed by the occurrence of natural disasters, pandemic diseases, or other emergencies;

 

Our business and operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results and stock price;

 

Changes in equipment standards under applicable Rules of Golf could adversely affect our business;

 

Our sales and business could be materially and adversely affected if professional athletes, celebrities and other endorsers do not endorse or use our products;

 

Any significant changes in U.S. trade or other policies that block, or restrict imports or increase import tariffs could have a material adverse effect on results of operations;

 

Our current senior management team and other key executives are critical to our success, and the loss of, and failure to adequately replace, any individual executive, or manager, could significantly harm our business;

 

Our independent auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern;

 

Failure to adequately enforce our intellectual property rights could adversely affect our reputation and sales;

 

We may become subject to intellectual property claims or lawsuits that could cause it to incur significant costs or pay significant damages or that could prohibit us from selling our products;

 

We are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally and manufacturing in the USA;

 

Any difficulties from strategic acquisitions or strategic partnerships we pursue or consummate could adversely affect business, financial condition and our results of operations;

 

If we inaccurately forecast demand for our products, we may manufacture either insufficient or excess quantities, which, in either case, could adversely affect our financial performance;

 

Our planned international business expansions could adversely affect results if they fail to successfully transition and grow revenue;

 

We depend on single source or a limited number of suppliers for some of the components of in our products, and the loss of any of these suppliers could harm our business;

 

S-8

 

 

A significant disruption in the operations of our assembly and golf shaft manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability and results of operations;

 

A disruption in the service or a significant increase in the cost of our primary delivery and shipping services for our products and component parts or a significant disruption at shipping ports could have a material adverse effect on our business;

 

The costs and availability of finished products, product components and raw materials could affect our operating results;

 

We may be subject to product warranty claims that require the replacement or repair of products sold. Such warranty claims could adversely affect our results of operations and relationships with our customers;

 

Our growth initiatives require significant capital investments and there can be no assurance we will realize a positive return on these investments;

 

Sales of our products by unauthorized retailers or distributors could adversely affect our authorized distribution channels and harm our reputation;

 

We rely on research and development, technical innovation and high-quality products to successfully compete;

 

We rely on information systems that assist in the management of our manufacturing, inventory, distribution, engineering, sales and other functions. If our information systems were to fail to perform these functions adequately or if we experienced an interruption in operation, including a breach in cyber security, our business and results of operations could suffer;

 

Cyber-attacks, unauthorized access to, or accidental disclosure of, consumer personally-identifiable information, that we or our vendors collect through our websites or stores on servers may result in significant expense and negatively impact our reputation and business;

 

We are subject to many federal, state, local and foreign laws, as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements, with which compliance can be both costly and complex. Our failure to comply with, or adapt to changes in these laws or requirements, could have an adverse impact on our business;

 

potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our shares of Common Stock.

 

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

 

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the document incorporated by reference herein, as applicable. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

S-9

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering of securities will be approximately $536,000, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures, to increase operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. Our net proceeds will be utilized for general corporate and working capital needs.

 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Our management will have discretion in allocating the net proceeds in accordance with the above priorities and purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our expansion and development efforts, whether or not we enter into strategic transactions, our general operating costs and expenditures, and the changing needs of our business.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in our shares of Common Stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share (assuming no Pre-funded Warrants are sold in the offering) and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share immediately after the closing of this offering (assuming no Pre-funded Warrants are sold in the offering). Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. As of June 30, 2024, our unaudited net tangible book value was $3,627,000 or $2.48 per share.

 

The net proceeds from our sale of 366,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at the public offering price of $2.00 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024, would have been $4,163,000, or $2.28 per share, assuming no Pre-funded Warrants are sold in the offering. This represents an immediate decrease in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.20 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $0.28 per share to investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering.

 

We calculate dilution per share to new investors by subtracting the as adjusted net tangible book value per share from the public offering price paid by the new investor. The following table illustrates the dilution to new investors on a per share basis:

 

Public offering price per share  $2.00 
Historical net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024  $2.48 
Decrease in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering  $0.20 
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering  $2.28 
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share in this offering  $0.28 

 

If the underwriter’s over-allotment option is exercised in full, the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering, assuming the public offering price of $2.00, would be $2.27 per share, representing an immediate dilution to existing shareholders of $0.21 per share, and immediate increase to new investors in this offering of $0.27 per share.

 

The foregoing calculations as of June 30, 2024 and excludes as of such date:

 

220,160 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted average exercise price of $9.44 per share.

We are also offering to each purchaser whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of this offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, Pre-funded Warrants, in lieu of shares of Common Stock.

 

Shares of Common Stock

 

The material terms and provisions of our shares of Common Stock are described under the heading “Description of Shares of Common Stock” starting on page 3 of the accompanying base prospectus.

 

Pre-Funded Warrants

 

The following is a summary of the material terms and provisions of the pre-funded warrants that are being offered hereby. This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the form of Pre-funded Warrants, which has been provided to the investors in this offering and which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of pre-funded warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.

 

Duration and Exercise

 

The Pre-funded Warrants offered hereby will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our shares of Common Stock.

 

S-11

 

 

Exercisability

 

The Pre-funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of such holder’s warrants to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding shares of Common Stock after exercising the holder’s Pre-funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

Cashless Exercise

 

The Pre-funded Warrants will also be exercisable on a “cashless exercise” basis under which the holder will receive upon such exercise a net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-funded Warrants.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-funded Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our shares of Common Stock, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Pre-funded Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each share of Common Stock that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

 

Transferability

 

In accordance with its terms and subject to applicable laws, a Pre-funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-funded Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer and payment of funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes (if applicable).

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants. Rather, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued will, at our election, either be rounded up to the nearest whole number or we will pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price.

 

Trading Market

 

There is no established trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for the Pre-funded Warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited.

 

S-12

 

 

Rights as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants or by virtue of the holders’ ownership of shares of Common Stock, the holders of Pre-funded Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of holders of our shares of Common Stock, including any voting rights, until such Pre-funded Warrant holders exercise their warrants.

 

Amendment and Waiver

 

The Pre-funded Warrants may be modified or amended with the written consent of the Company and the holder.

 

UNDERWRITING

 

Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis or the underwriter, is the underwriter and the book-running manager of this offering. Under the terms of an underwriting agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the following number of shares of Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants:

 

Underwriter 

Number of

shares of Common Stock

 
Aegis Capital Corp.   366,000 

 

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter’s obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants depends on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement including:

 

the representations and warranties made by us to the underwriter are true;

 

there is no material change in our business or the financial markets; and

 

we deliver customary closing documents to the underwriter.

 

The underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus (other than those covered by the over-allotment option described below), if any are purchased under the underwriting agreement.

 

The underwriter is offering the shares of Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants subject to various conditions and may reject all or part of any order. The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares of Common Stock and Pre-funded Warrants directly to the public at the public offering price per share and Pre-funded Warrant, as applicable, that appears on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. In addition, the representative may offer some of the shares of Common Stock to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of $0.07 per share. After the shares of Common Stock are released for sale to the public, the representative may change the offering price and other selling terms at various times.

 

S-13

 

 

Over-Allotment Option

 

We have granted the underwriter an over-allotment option. This option, which is exercisable for up to forty-five (45) days after the closing of the offering, permits the underwriter to purchase a maximum of additional shares of Common Stock (i.e., up to 15% of the shares of Common Stock and/or pre-funded warrants sold in this offering) from us to cover over-allotments, if any. The purchase price to be paid per additional share will be equal to the public offering price per share, less the underwriting discount. We will be obligated, pursuant to the option, to sell these additional shares of Common Stock to the underwriter to the extent the option is exercised. If any additional shares of Common Stock are purchased, the underwriter will offer the additional shares of Common Stock on the same terms as those on which the other shares of Common Stock are being offered hereunder. If this over-allotment option is exercised in full, the total offering price to the public will be approximately $ million, and the total net proceeds, before expenses and after deducting the underwriting discounts described above, to us will be approximately $ million (based upon a public offering price of $ per share).

 

Underwriting Discounts and Expenses

 

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts we will pay to Aegis. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional securities.

 

              Total  
      Per Share       No
Exercise
  Full
Exercise
 
Public offering price   $ 2.00     $ 732,000   $ 842,000  
Underwriting discounts to be paid by us (7.0%):   $ (0.14 )   $ (51,000 ) $ (59,000 )
Proceeds, before expenses, to us   $ 1.86     $ 681,000   $ 783,000  

 

 

We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain of its expenses, including “roadshow,” diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements, in an amount not to exceed $75,000 in the aggregate. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding underwriting discounts, will be approximately $145,000.

 

S-14

 

 

Stabilization

 

In accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the underwriter may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our shares of Common Stock, including short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short positions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making.

 

Short positions involve sales by the underwriter of shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriter in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriter may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security as long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum price.

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of our shares of Common Stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares, thereby creating a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

 

Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the shares of Common Stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

In passive market making, market makers in our shares of Common Stock who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchase our shares of Common Stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

 

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares of Common Stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares of Common Stock. As a result of these activities, the price of our shares of Common Stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

S-15

 

 

Neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Shares of Common Stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation that Aegis will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

 

Discretionary Accounts

 

The underwriter has informed us that they do not expect to make sales to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of five percent (5%) of the securities being offered in this offering.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify Aegis, its affiliates, and each person controlling Aegis against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs, and other liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of the offering, undertaken in good faith.

 

Lock-Up Agreements

 

Pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, our executive officers, directors, employees and holders of at least 10% of our Company’s shares of Common Stock and securities exercisable for or convertible into its shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately upon the closing of this offering, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of, directly or indirectly, engage in any short selling of any Shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock (“Lock-Up Securities”), whether currently owned or subsequently acquired, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, for a period of sixty (60) days after the closing date of the offering.

 

The underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release the shares of Common Stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time. When determining whether or not to release shares of Common Stock and other securities from lock-up agreements, the underwriter will consider, among other factors, the holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares of Common Stock and other securities for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

 

S-16

 

 

Company Standstill

 

We have agreed, for a period of nine (9) months after the closing date of the offering (the “Standstill Period”), that without the prior written consent of Aegis, we will not (a) offer, sell, issue, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity of our Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of our Company; (b) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any equity of our Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of our Company; or (c) enter into any agreement or announce the intention to effect any of the actions described in subsections (a) or (b) hereof (all of such matters, the “Standstill Restrictions”). So long as none of such equity securities shall be saleable in the public market until the expiration of the Standstill Period, the following matters shall not be prohibited by the Standstill Restrictions: (i) the adoption of an equity incentive plan and the grant of awards or equity pursuant to any equity incentive plan, and the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8; and (ii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of our Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the Standstill Period, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of our Company and shall provide to our Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which our Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. In no event should any equity transaction during the Standstill Period result in the sale of equity at an offering price to the public less than that of this offering.

 

Right of First Refusal

 

We have granted Aegis a right of first refusal for a period of 6 months from the closing of this offering to act as (i) sole book-runner, sole manager, sole placement agent or sole agent in the event we decide to finance or refinance any of our indebtedness and (ii) sole book-running manager, sole underwriter or sole placement agent in the event we decided to raise funds by means of a public offering (including an at-the-market offering) or a private placement or any other capital raising financing of equity, equity-linked or debt securities.

 

Tail Financing

 

Aegis will be entitled to success fees from our company with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital raising transaction of any kind by our company to the extent that such financing is provided to our company by investors that Aegis had introduced to our company during the engagement period, if such tail financing is consummated at any time within the six-month period following the expiration or termination of the letter of engagement between Aegis and our company.

The underwriter may in the future provide various investment banking, commercial banking and other financial services for us and our affiliates for which they may in the future receive customary fees.

 

S-17

 

 

In the ordinary course of its business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates, officers, directors and employees may purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments and actively traded securities, derivatives, loans, commodities, currencies, credit default swaps and other financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and trading activities may involve or relate to assets, securities and/or instruments of the issuer (directly, as collateral securing other obligation or otherwise) publish or express independent research views in respect of such assets, securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they should acquire, long and/or short positions in such assets, securities and instruments.

 

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares

 

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the underwriter, if any, participating in this offering and the underwriter participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically.

We urge you to carefully read this entire prospectus and all applicable prospectus supplements, including the more detailed information regarding our Company, the securities being registered hereby, as well as our consolidated financial statements, the notes to the consolidated financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC.

Overview

 

We are a technology-forward golf company, with a growing portfolio of golf products, including putting instruments, golf shafts, golf grips, and other golf-related products. In consideration of its growth opportunities in shaft technologies, in April 2022, we expanded our manufacturing business to include advanced premium golf shafts by opening a new shaft manufacturing facility in St. Joseph, MO. It is our intent to manufacture and assemble substantially all products in the United States as is economically feasible. We anticipate expansion into golf apparel and other golf-related product lines to enhance our growth. Our future expansions may include broadening our offerings through mergers, acquisitions or internal developments of product lines that are complementary to our premium brand.

 

We currently sell our products through the Company’s websites, resellers, and distributors in the United States, Japan, and South Korea.

 

Risks Associated with Our Business

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware of before making an investment decision. Some of these risks include the following:

 

A reduction in the number of rounds of golf played or in the number of golf participants could adversely affect sales.

 

We may have limited opportunities for future growth in sales of golf products.

 

We may face increased labor costs or labor shortages that could slow growth and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Unfavorable economic conditions, including future pandemics, inflation or otherwise, could have a negative impact on consumer discretionary spending and therefore negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

 

A severe or prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect our wholesale customers’ financial condition, their levels of business activity and their ability to pay trade obligations.

 

We face intense competition in all of our markets, and if we are unable to compete effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

 

If we are unable to successfully manage the introduction of new products that perform and satisfy changing consumer preferences, it could significantly and adversely impact financial performance and prospects for future growth.

 

Our golf equipment, golf gear and other related golf business products could have a concentrated customer base. The loss of a major customer could have a significant effect on our sales.

 

Our business depends on a strong brand and related reputation, and if we are not able to build, maintain and enhance our brand or build a strong reputation, our sales may be adversely affected.

 

5
 

 

International political instability and terrorist activities may decrease demand for our products and disrupt our business.

 

Our business could be harmed by the occurrence of natural disasters, pandemic diseases, or other emergencies.

 

Our business and operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results and stock price.

 

Changes in equipment standards under applicable Rules of Golf could adversely affect our business.

 

Our sales and business could be materially and adversely affected if professional athletes, celebrities and other endorsers do not endorse or use our products.

 

Any significant changes in U.S. trade or other policies that block, or restrict imports or increase import tariffs could have a material adverse effect on results of operations.

 

Our current senior management team and other key executives are critical to our success, and the loss of, and failure to adequately replace, any individual executive, or manager, could significantly harm our business.

 

We are exposed to risks associated with doing business globally and manufacturing in the USA.

 

We have international sales and international supply chains where unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations.

 

Any difficulties from strategic acquisitions or strategic partnerships we pursue or consummate could adversely affect business, financial condition and our results of operations.

 

If we inaccurately forecast demand for our products, we may manufacture either insufficient or excess quantities, which, in either case, could adversely affect our financial performance.

 

Our planned international business expansions could adversely affect results if they fail to successfully transition and grow revenue.

 

We depend on single source or a limited number of suppliers for some of the components of in our products, and the loss of any of these suppliers could harm our business.

 

A significant disruption in the operations of our assembly and golf shaft manufacturing facilities could have a material adverse effect on our sales, profitability and results of operations.

 

A disruption in the service or a significant increase in the cost of our primary delivery and shipping services for our products and component parts or a significant disruption at shipping ports could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

The costs and availability of finished products, product components and raw materials could affect our operating results.

 

We may be subject to product warranty claims that require the replacement or repair of products sold. Such warranty claims could adversely affect our results of operations and relationships with our customers.

 

Our growth initiatives require significant capital investments and there can be no assurance we will realize a positive return on these investments.

 

Sales of our products by unauthorized retailers or distributors could adversely affect our authorized distribution channels and harm our reputation.

 

We rely on research and development, technical innovation and high-quality products to successfully compete.

 

We rely on information systems that assist in the management of our manufacturing, inventory, distribution, engineering, sales and other functions. If our information systems were to fail to perform these functions adequately or if we experienced an interruption in operation, including a breach in cyber security, our business and results of operations could suffer.

 

Cyber-attacks, unauthorized access to, or accidental disclosure of, consumer personally-identifiable information, that we or our vendors collect through our websites or stores on servers may result in significant expense and negatively impact our reputation and business.

 

We are subject to many federal, state, local and foreign laws, as well as other statutory and regulatory requirements, with which compliance can be both costly and complex. Our failure to comply with, or adapt to changes in these laws or requirements, could have an adverse impact on our business.

 

Regulations related to “conflict minerals” require us to incur additional expenses and could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing our products.

 

We are subject to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, which could subject us to liabilities, increased costs or restrictions of operations in the future.

 

Changes in, or any failure to comply with, data privacy laws, regulations, and standards may adversely affect our business.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves significant risks. Before making an investment decision, with respect to any of our securities, you should carefully consider the information set forth in this prospectus, including under the heading “Risks Associated with our Business” and in any applicable prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K on file with the SEC, all of which are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future

 

The risks included in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and the documents we have incorporated by reference are not the only ones we face. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As a result, the value of our securities could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment therein. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Conditions that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operation. For more information, see “Information Incorporated by Reference” in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as described in any applicable prospectus supplement or in any related free writing prospectuses we have authorized for use in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered by us hereunder, if any, for working capital, research and development costs, capital expenditures, and general corporate purposes, funding future acquisition of other companies, purchasing other assets or lines of business, repurchasing Common Stock, or for any other purpose we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of these areas or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the application of the net proceeds from the sale of securities described in this prospectus.

 

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following is a summary description of the Common Stock, which does not purport to be complete and is summarized from, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws, to which you should refer and copies of which are incorporated herein by reference as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and to the registration statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus forms a part. The summary below is also qualified by provisions of applicable law, including the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to a total of 45,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights.

 

Further, holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities and the liquidation preferences of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of our assets which are legally available.

The holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting. Except in regards to proposals that require the approval of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares, if a quorum is present, an action by stockholders entitled to vote on a matter is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, with the exception of the election of directors, which requires a plurality of the votes cast.

Our board of directors, without stockholder approval, will be able to issue convertible preferred stock with voting, conversion, or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock. Preferred stock could be issued quickly with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change of control or make removal of management more difficult. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock, and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any shares of preferred stock following this offering. We have not issued any shares of preferred stock.

 

Our board of directors will fix the designations, voting powers, rights, preferences and privileges of each series, as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of the Preferred Stock of each series that we offer under this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplements in the certificate of designation relating to that series.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law, our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws

 

Delaware Law

 

We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly traded Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, subject to certain exceptions. The statute could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Our Bylaws provide that stockholders holding at least 66-2/3% of the voting power may remove any director from office with or without cause.

 

Stockholders not Entitled to Cumulative Voting

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not permit stockholders to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Accordingly, the election of directors shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of the stockholders by the holders of stock entitled to vote in the election; provided, however, if the number of nominees for director exceeds the directors to be elected, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares represented in person or by proxy.

 

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; 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; any action to interpret, apply, enforce, or determine the validity of our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; or any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ Certificates of Incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

 

Amendment Provisions

 

The Board of Directors is expressly authorized and empowered to adopt, amend, alter, or repair or repeal the Bylaws without any action on the part of the stockholders. The stockholders also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the voting power.

 

Board of Directors Vacancies

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws authorize either our board of directors or stockholders holding a majority of the voting power to fill vacant directorships. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors may be set only by resolution of the majority of the incumbent directors.

 

Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that our stockholders may take action by written consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws further provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called by a majority of the board of directors or pursuant to demands from stockholders who own, in the aggregate, at least 15% of the outstanding voting power.

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

 

Our Bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to the secretary at our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which a public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by us. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our annual meeting of stockholders.

 

These provisions could discourage a potential acquirer from acquiring Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. or otherwise attempting to obtain control and increase the likelihood that its incumbent directors and officers will retain their positions.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is VStock Transfer, LLC.

 

The Nasdaq Capital Market

 

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SPGC”.

Transfer and Exchange

 

Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC” or the “Depositary”) or a nominee of the Depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Legal Ownership of Securities” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.

 

Certificated Debt Securities

 

You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture. No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

 

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, premium and interest on certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

 

Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System

 

Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary, and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Legal Ownership of Securities” for more information.

 

Covenants

 

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

 

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control

 

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions that may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) that could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

 

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

 

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, any person (a “successor person”) unless:

 

  we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than Sacks Parente Golf, Inc.) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture;
     
  immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no default or event of default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and
     
  certain other conditions are met.

 

Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

Events of Default

 

An “event of default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

 

  default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

 

  default in the payment of principal of any debt security of that series at its maturity;
     
  default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture or any debt security (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or Sacks Parente Golf, Inc. and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;
     
  certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Sacks Parente Golf, Inc.; or
     
  any other event of default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

No event of default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain events of default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

 

We will provide the trustee written notice of any default or event of default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such default or event of default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such default or event of default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an event of default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an event of default.

 

The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, 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.

 

14
 

 

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

 

  that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default with respect to debt securities of that series; and
     
  the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and premium and any interest on, that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

 

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. If a default or event of default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each holder of the securities of that series notice of a default or event of default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such default or event of default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any default or event of default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

 

Modification and Waiver

 

We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

 

  to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
     
  to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”;
     
  to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;
     
  to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series;
     
  to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture;
     
  to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series;
     
  to comply with the applicable procedures of the Depositary;
     
  to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;
     
  to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;
     
  to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or
     
  to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

 

15
 

 

We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modification or amendment. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment would:

 

  reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
     
  reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;
     
  reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;
     
  reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;
     
  waive a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of, or premium or interest on, any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);
     
  make the principal of, or premium or interest on, any debt security payable in a currency other than that stated in the debt security;
     
  make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of the holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, and premium and interest on, those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or
     
  waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security.

 

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all of the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or any interest on, any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

 

Defeasance of the Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

 

Legal Defeasance

 

The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of cash and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, cash and/or government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide cash in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

 

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

 

16
 

 

Defeasance of Certain Covenants

 

The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

 

  we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants that may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and
     
  any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to the debt securities of that series (a “covenant defeasance”).

 

The conditions include:

 

  depositing with the trustee cash and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. dollars, cash and/or government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide cash in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on, and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and
     
  delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that we have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

 

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders

 

None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the debt securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 

The indenture provides that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

The indenture provides that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture further provides that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture further provides that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock or for the purchase of debt securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. If a series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and the investors or a warrant agent, we will so specify in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

The following summary of the material terms of the warrants and warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the warrants and any warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete warrants and any warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

The material terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:

 

  the number of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares and the price at which such number of shares may be purchased upon exercise;
     
  a summary of the terms (including, without limitation, liquidation, dividend, conversion and voting rights) of the series of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Preferred Stock as set forth in the certificate of designations for such series of Preferred Stock;
     
  the principal amount of debt securities that may be purchased upon exercise of a debt warrant and the exercise price for the warrants;
     
  the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related debt securities, Preferred Stock or Common Stock will be separately transferable;
     
  the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
     
  the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
     
  the material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to the warrants; and
     
  any additional material terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants.

 

Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled:

 

  to vote, consent or received dividends;
     
  receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or
     
  exercise any rights as stockholders of Sacks Parente Golf, Inc.

 

Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the principal amount of debt securities or the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any rights to receive payments of principal, premium or interest on the underlying debt securities or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture. Until any warrants to purchase Common Stock or Preferred Stock are exercised, the holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying Common Stock or Preferred Stock, including any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, if any.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

 

General

 

We may issue rights to our stockholders to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock or the other securities described in this prospectus. We may offer rights separately or together with one or more additional rights, debt securities, preferred stock, common stock or warrants, or any combination of those securities in the form of units, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of the series of certificates and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of the rights to which any prospectus supplement may relate and the extent, if any, to which the general provisions may apply to the rights so offered will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To the extent that any particular terms of the rights, rights agreement or rights certificates described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described below, then the terms described below will be deemed to have been superseded by that prospectus supplement. We encourage you to read the applicable rights agreement and rights certificate for additional information before you decide whether to purchase any of our rights. We will provide in a prospectus supplement the following terms of the rights being issued:

 

  the date of determining the stockholders entitled to the rights distribution;
     
  the aggregate number of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
     
  the exercise price;
     
  the aggregate number of rights issued;
     
  whether the rights are transferrable and the date, if any, on and after which the rights may be separately transferred;
     
  the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence, and the date on which the right to exercise the rights will expire;
     
  the method by which holders of rights will be entitled to exercise;
     
  the conditions to the completion of the offering, if any;
     
  the withdrawal, termination and cancellation rights, if any;
     
  whether there are any backstop or standby purchaser or purchasers and the terms of their commitment, if any;
     
  whether stockholders are entitled to oversubscription rights, if any;
     
  any applicable material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and
     
  any other terms of the rights, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the distribution, exchange and exercise of the rights, as applicable.

 

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities at the exercise price provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Holders may exercise rights as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock, preferred stock or other securities, as applicable, purchasable upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than stockholders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Rights Agent

 

The rights agent for any rights we offer will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

19
 

 

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate unit agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.

 

The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file each unit agreement as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.

 

If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:

 

  the title of the series of units;
     
  identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units;
     
  the price or prices at which the units will be issued;
     
  the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable;
     
  the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and
     
  any other material terms of the units and their constituent securities.

 

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

 

We may 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, depositary or warrant agent 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 discussed 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 depositary’s 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. Securities issued in global form will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for securities issued in global form, 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 book-entry securities 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 depositary’s 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 holders, of the securities.

 

20
 

 

Street Name Holders

 

We may terminate a global security or issue securities in non-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 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 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 holders, of those securities.

 

Legal Holders

 

Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee and of any third parties 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.

 

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 depositary 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 the 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 or how the holders contact the indirect holders is the responsibility of the holders.

 

Special Considerations for Indirect Holders

 

If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:

 

  the performance of third-party service providers;
     
  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 depositary’s 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 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 the section entitled “Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated” in this prospectus. As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and 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 does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a 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 in global form only, 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.

 

Special Considerations for Global Securities

 

The rights of an indirect holder relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s 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.

 

21
 

 

If securities are issued only in the form of a global security, 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 described 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 described 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 a 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 depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in a global security;
     
  we and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in a global security, nor do 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 a 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 depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in a 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 intermediary.

 

Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated

 

In a few special situations described below, the 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 the responsibility of the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to learn 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.

 

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 applicable prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and not we or 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 offered 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 issued by us under this prospectus will be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market, 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 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.

 

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions.

 

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.
