PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated October 21, 2024)

 

 

1,908,402 Shares of Common Stock

 

We are offering to certain accredited and institutional investors 1,908,402 shares of our Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”). The combined offering price of each share of common stock, together with an accompanying common warrant (as defined below), is $1.31 per share.

 

In a concurrent private placement, we are also issuing to the same accredited and institutional investors warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,725,206 shares of our common stock (the “warrants”). The warrants will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $1.31 per share and expire two years from the initial exercise date. The warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” and an “emerging growth company” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and are subject to reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Smaller Reporting Company” and “Prospectus Supplement Summary—Emerging Growth Company.” Our shares of common stock are listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “COCH.” There is no established public trading market for the warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for the warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited. The closing price of our shares of common stock on Nasdaq on September 19, 2025, was $1.31 per share.

 

We engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent, or the Placement Agent, in connection with this offering. The Placement Agent is not purchasing the securities offered by us in this offering and is not required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of the securities offered.

 

Investing in our securities involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This document is in two parts. The first part is the prospectus supplement, including the documents incorporated by reference, which describes the specific terms of this offering. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. Before you invest, you should carefully read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, all information incorporated by reference herein and therein, as well as the additional information described under “Where You Can Find Additional Information” on page S-17 of this prospectus supplement and “Incorporation by Reference of Certain Documents” on page S-18 of this prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference concerning our industry and the markets in which we operate, including our general expectations and market position, market opportunity and market share, is based on information from our own management estimates and research, as well as from industry and general publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Management estimates are derived from publicly available information, our knowledge of our industry and assumptions based on such information and knowledge, which we believe to be reasonable.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA

 

This prospectus supplement contains, and any amendment or any further prospectus supplement may contain, industry and market data which have been obtained from industry publications, market research and other publicly available information. Such information is supplemented, where necessary, with the Company’s own internal estimates, taking into account publicly available information about other industry participants and the judgment of the Company’s management where information is not publicly available.

 

Industry publications and market research generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed and that the projections they contain are based on a number of significant assumptions. In some cases, the sources from which this data is derived is not expressly referred to. While the Company compiled, extracted and reproduced industry data from these sources, and believes that the information used is reliable, the Company did not independently verify the data that was extracted or derived from such industry publications or market reports, and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness.

 

The industry and market data that appears in this prospectus supplement is inherently uncertain, involves a number of assumptions and limitations and may not necessarily be reflective of actual market conditions and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such industry and market data because it may differ from current data due to material changes in market conditions or otherwise. Such statistics are based on market research, which itself is based on sampling and subjective judgements by both the researchers and the respondents, including judgements about what types of products and transactions should be included in the relevant market. Forecasts and other forward-looking information obtained from these sources are subject to the same qualifications and uncertainties as the other forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in any forecasts or estimates.

 

The Company does not intend or assume any obligation to update industry or market data set forth in this prospectus supplement. Because market behavior, preferences and trends are subject to change, prospective investors should be aware that market and industry information in this prospectus supplement and estimates based on any data therein may not be reliable indicators of future market performance or the Company’s future results of operations.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights selected information about us, this offering and information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before making an investment decision, to fully understand this offering and its consequences to you, you should carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and the financial statements and related notes and the other information that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement.

 

Our Company

 

We are a hearing health company focused on providing innovative medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Our technologies are designed to shift the paradigm within the hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire. Founded in 1995, our vision is to create fully implanted hearing devices that leverage the natural ear - not an artificial microphone - to pick up sound. In recent years, we have focused almost exclusively on developing the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant (the “Acclaim CI”), our lead product candidate.

 

We believe that the Acclaim CI is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Our fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound. The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2019.

 

Our first product, the Esteem ® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), received FDA approval in 2010. The Esteem FI-AMEI is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device and remains the only FDA approved fully implanted hearing device in the US market. Unfortunately, the Esteem FI-AMEI failed to gain commercial traction, primarily due to a lack of reimbursement or insurance coverage from third-party payors.

 

Despite the commercial challenges, approximately 1,000 Esteem FI-AMEI devices were implanted. Some devices were implanted in the early 2000s during clinical trials, providing Envoy Medical with over two decades of experience with our implantable sensor technology. Throughout our experience, our sensor technology proved a viable alternative and robust option to external or implanted microphones.

 

In late 2015, we made the decision to shift our focus from the Esteem FI-AMEI to a new product that would leverage our sensor technology and incorporate it into a cochlear implant. As a result, we now have the Acclaim CI, a fully implanted cochlear implant. We believe that Acclaim CI gives us the opportunity to disrupt the existing cochlear implant market. The cochlear implant market is one that already has established market acceptance and reimbursement pathways. In the United States, before we can market a new Class III medical device, like the Acclaim CI, we must first receive FDA approval via the premarket application approval process.

 

The Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) to begin a pivotal clinical study on the fully implanted Acclaim CI was granted by the FDA in October of 2024. Seven investigational sites were selected prior to the end of 2024. To date, five of the seven investigational sites have received Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approvals and been successfully activated. The two remaining sites are waiting for IRB approval and activation.

 

The IDE was approved as a “staged” clinical trial with the first stage allowing enrollment of 10 study participants. Envoy Medical may request expansion into the second stage once it has discussed initial three to six month data on the 10 study participants with the FDA. If allowed by the FDA to proceed into the second stage, an additional 46 study participants will be enrolled for a total study population of 56 patients.

 

S-1

 

 

The first two surgeries took place in February of 2025 and all 10 patients in the first stage were implanted by mid-April. To date, all 10 patients have been “activated” (i.e., devices turned on) and completed their 3 month follow up visits.

 

Timing of expansion beyond the first stage is dependent on data collection and subsequent discussions with the FDA about the data. Envoy Medical is currently targeting expansion into the second stage in the fourth quarter of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026.

 

Each implanted study participant will be followed through their 12 month visit. After all 56 patients have been through their 12 month visits, the data will be collected and analyzed in accordance with the clinical study protocol and statistical analysis plan. Upon finalization of the results, Envoy Medical intends to submit a Premarket Approval (“PMA”) application to the FDA. The FDA will have 180 days to review the PMA unless a panel review is requested. If a panel review is requested, it may add several months of additional review time to the PMA. As a result, Envoy Medical currently anticipates obtaining the FDA’s decision on our PMA at some point within the second half of 2027 or first half of 2028, depending on the FDA’s review process and timeline.

 

The FDA approval process is uncertain and there can be no guarantees of whether the Acclaim CI will ever successfully receive FDA approval. In addition, we cannot predict the effects that changes to federal regulatory staffing, funding, and policies and procedures will have on the timeline and ultimate FDA approval decision. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will receive FDA approval on a specific timeline, or at all.

 

We had a net losses of $5.7 million and $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10.7 million and $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $297.9 million and $284.7 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We have funded our operations to date primarily through the issuance of equity securities, term debt and convertible debt. We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and expect our research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures will continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses to increase as we continue our development of the Acclaim CI and seek the necessary regulatory approvals for our product candidate, as well as hire additional personnel, pay fees to outside consultants, attorneys and accountants, and incur other increased costs associated with being a public company. In addition, if and when we seek and obtain regulatory approval to commercialize the Acclaim CI in the United States, we will also incur increased expenses in connection with commercialization and marketing of such product. Our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending on the timing of our clinical trials, if any, and our expenditures on other research and development activities. We anticipate that our expenses will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, if and as we:

 

continue our research and development efforts for the Acclaim CI product candidate, including through clinical trials;

 

seek additional regulatory and marketing approvals in jurisdictions outside the United States;

 

establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize our product candidate;

 

rely on our third-party suppliers and manufacturers to obtain adequate supply of materials and components for our products;

 

S-2

 

 

seek to identify, assess, acquire, license, and/or develop other product candidates and subsequent generations of our current product candidate;

 

seek to maintain, protect, and expand our intellectual property portfolio;

 

seek to identify, hire, and retain additional skilled personnel;

 

create additional infrastructure to support our operations as a public company and our product candidate development and planned future commercialization efforts; and

 

experience any delays or encounter issues with respect to any of the above, including, but not limited to, failed studies, complex results, safety issues or other regulatory challenges that require longer follow-up of existing studies or additional supportive studies in order to pursue marketing approval.

 

We expect that our financial performance may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year due to the development status of our Acclaim CI product and our efforts to obtain regulatory approval and commercialize the Acclaim CI product.

 

The Acclaim CI has not yet been approved for sale. We do not expect to generate any product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidate. If we obtain regulatory approval for the Acclaim CI, we expect to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. As a result, until such time, if ever, that we can generate substantial product revenue, we expect to finance our cash needs through equity offerings, debt financings or other capital sources, including collaborations, licenses or similar arrangements. However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed or on favorable terms, if at all. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies, including our research and development activities. If we are unable to raise capital, we will need to delay, reduce, or terminate planned activities to reduce costs.

 

Recent Developments

 

Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement

 

On February 25, 2025, we received a deficiency notification letter (the “Notification Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) because the market value of the Company’s listed securities did not meet the minimum of $35,000,000 (the “MVLS Requirement”) for the period for 31 consecutive business days between January 7, 2025 and February 24, 2025. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had a grace period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) and would return to compliance if the market value of our listed securities exceeds $35,000,000 for ten consecutive business days.

 

On August 26, 2025, we received a determination letter from Nasdaq notifying us that we had not regained compliance with the MVLS Requirement within the 180 day cure period. The determination letter informed the Company that it can request a hearing regarding Nasdaq’s determination with a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to discuss how we believe we will regain compliance and why the Company believes the Panel should grant an extension. The Company timely requested a hearing, which will occur on October 2, 2025. However, Nasdaq may not grant an additional compliance period, the Panel may choose to delist our securities from trading on Nasdaq.

 

We intend to actively monitor the market value of our listed our common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or that Nasdaq will grant us a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.

Corporate Information

 

Our public company entity was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 2020. Our principal executive offices are located at 4875 White Bear Parkway, White Bear Lake, MN 55110. Our telephone number is (877) 900-3277. Our website address is www.envoymedical.com. Information contained on our website or connected thereto does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this prospectus or the registration statement of which it forms a part.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are eligible, and have elected, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are 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.

 

We could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering. However, if our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more, or our non-convertible debt issued within a three year period exceeds $1 billion, or the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the last day of that fiscal year.

 

Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and have a public float of less than $250 million or annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company,” at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein, including the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. If any of the risks incorporated by reference or set forth below occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our Securities

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class A Common Stock you purchase. You may also experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

 

The price per share, together with the number of shares of common stock to be issued in this offering will result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our common stock. Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 was $(29.9) million, or approximately $(1.39) per share of our common stock. After giving effect to the shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering at a public offering price of $1.31 per share, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025 would have been ($27.4) million, or approximately $(1.18) per share of our common stock. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of approximately $0.21 per share of our common stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $2.49 per share of our Class A Common Stock to new investors, representing the difference between the offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2025, after giving effect to this offering, and the public offering price per share.

 

In addition, in order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. In the event that the outstanding options or warrants are exercised or settled, or that we make additional issuances of common stock or other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of common stock in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into common stock in future transactions, may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. As a result, purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell at prices significantly below the price at which they invested.

 

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, including for any of the purposes described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes to fund the Company through its FDA pivotal trial. 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 net proceeds are being used appropriately. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our securities to decline. Pending the application of these funds, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

 

S-6

 

 

Any holder of the warrants being sold in a private placement concurrently with this offering will have no rights as a holder of our common stock until such holder exercises its warrants and acquires our common stock.

 

Until the holder of any warrants being sold in a private placement concurrently with this offering exercises such warrants and acquires shares of our common stock, such holder will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such warrants. Upon exercise of such warrants, the holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of a holder of our common stock only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

There is no public market for the warrant being sold in a private placement concurrently with this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the warrants being offered in the concurrent private placement, and we do not expect a market to develop.

 

In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the warrants will be limited.

 

This offering may cause the trading price of our common stock to decrease.

 

The price per share, together with the number of shares of common stock we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed and/or the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise the warrants being sold concurrently herewith, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our common stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

 

If we do not file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, the holder thereof may exercise the warrants on a “cashless basis.”

 

If we do not file and maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will be able to exercise such warrants on a “cashless basis”.As a result, the number of shares of common stock that holders will receive upon exercise of the warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holders exercised their warrants for cash. We have agreed to file a registration statement to register the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, or the warrant shares, as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 calendar days of the date of this prospectus supplement), and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days following the closing date of this offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the investors hold no warrants or warrant shares issuable upon exercise thereof. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If the warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” we will not receive any consideration from such exercises.

 

Provisions of the warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

 

Certain provisions of the warrants being sold in a private offering concurrently with this offering could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the warrants. Further, the warrants provide that, in the event of “fundamental transaction,” with some exceptions, we or a successor entity will be obligated to, at the option of the holder of such warrant, purchase such warrant from such holder by paying an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes value (as described in such warrants) of the unexercised portion of the warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction. For more information, see “Private Placement Transaction”. These and other provisions of the warrants could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to the holders of our common stock.

 

S-7

 

 

There may be future sales of our common stock, which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and dilute a stockholder’s ownership of common stock.

 

The exercise of any warrants or options granted to executive officers and other service providers under our equity compensation plans, and any other issuances of our common stock could have an adverse effect on the market price of the shares of our common stock. Other than the restrictions set forth in the section titled “Plan of Distribution,” we are not restricted from issuing additional shares of common stock, including any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares of common stock, provided that we are subject to the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (which generally requires stockholder approval for any transactions which would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our then outstanding shares of common stock or voting rights representing over 20% of our then outstanding shares of stock). Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could materially adversely affect the market price of the shares of our common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Accordingly, our stockholders bear the risk that our future offerings will reduce the market price of our common stock and dilute their stock holdings in us.

 

We have limited available operating capital, and we will be required to raise additional capital shortly after the current offering.

 

Following this offering, we expect to have sufficient funds for our operations through approximately December 2025. We have based our estimates as to how long we expect we will be able to fund our operations on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, in which case we would be required to obtain additional financing sooner than currently projected. Such financing may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital when needed or we incur unanticipated expenses, we would need to materially curtail our operations and expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and ability to achieve our intended business objectives. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and if we are unable to raise required capital, we may be unable to continue the operation of our business as currently planned or to seek strategic alternative transactions.

 

Our failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in a delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq.

 

If we fail to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, such as the corporate governance requirements, the minimum market value of listed securities requirements, or closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our Class A Common Stock. We received a notice of delisting from Nasdaq on February 25, 2025 regarding the market value of listed securities standard and will be required to meet such standard to maintain our Nasdaq listing. On August 26, 2025, the Company received a determination letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it has not regained compliance with the MVLS Requirement within the 180 day cure period. The determination letter informed the Company that it can request a hearing regarding Nasdaq’s determination with the Panel by September 2, 2025 to discuss how the Company believes it will regain compliance and why the Company believes the Panel should grant an extension. If the Company had not made a request to the Panel, the trading of the Company’s securities would be suspended at the opening of business on September 4, 2025. The Company submitted a hearing request to the Panel on August 29, 2025. The request itself will stay any trading suspension of the Company’s securities or the potential filing of a Form 25-NSE until after the Panel meeting is held and the Panel provides a decision. The Company is optimistic that it will be able to demonstrate to the Panel several different viable and relatively near-term pathways to regain compliance (including, in part, through the current offering), however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or provide a listing compliance extension. If such extension is not granted or the Company is unable to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement during such extension, our shares of common stock, including the shares of common stock issued in this offering, will be delisted from Nasdaq, which would substantially reduce liquidity of holders of common stock.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the offering will be approximately $2.2 million after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the warrants.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes to fund our operations during our FDA pivotal clinical study. This expected use of proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and prevailing business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and prevailing business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our use of proceeds will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering.

 

Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government, although the Company will evaluate the best investment options for the net proceeds.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to our dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors after considering our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, business prospects and other factors the board of directors deems relevant, and subject to the restrictions contained in any future financing instruments.

 

DILUTION

 

If you invest in this offering, your ownership interest will be immediately diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering.

 

As of June 30, 2025, our as reported net tangible book value was $(29.9) million, or $(1.39) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

S-9

 

 

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A Common Stock after the offering. After giving effect to the sale of 1,908,402 shares of our common stock in this offering at an offering price of $1.31 per share and after deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, but without adjusting for any other change in our net tangible book value subsequent to June 30, 2025, our as adjusted net tangible book value would have been $(1.18) per share as of June 30, 2025. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value on a reported basis of $0.21 per share to our existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $2.49 per share to new investors purchasing the securities at the public offering price. The following table illustrates the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors as of June 30, 2025:

 

Public offering price per share of common stock       $1.31 
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025  $(1.39)     
Increase in net tangible book value per share to the existing stockholders attributable to this offering.  $0.21      
As adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2025, after giving effect to this offering       $(1.18)
Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors on an as adjusted basis       $(2.49)

 

The above discussion is based on 21,520,932 shares of our Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2025, and excludes, as of that date, the following:

 

  14,166,666 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Public Warrants with an exercise price of $11.50 per share;

 

  3,209,511 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Meteora Warrants with an exercise price of $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment;

 

  3,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by GAT with a weighted average exercise price of $1.90 per share;

 

  3,588,406 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock; and

 

  2,164,238 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying options granted under our 2023 Equity Incentive Plan, exercisable at an average weighted exercise price of $2.31 per share.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT TRANSACTION

 

Concurrently with the sale of common stock in this offering, we will issue to the investors in this offering private placement warrants, or common warrants, to purchase up to an aggregate of 5,725,206 shares of common stock at an exercise price equal to $1.31 per share (subject to standard adjustments for stock splits, stock dividend, rights offerings and pro rata distributions). The common warrants are being sold together with the shares of common stock being sold in this offering, and we will receive additional proceeds from the common warrants to the extent the common warrants are exercised for cash.

 

The common warrants and the common stock issuable upon the exercise of such common warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act, are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and instead are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, the purchasers may only sell common stock issued upon exercise of the common warrants pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act.

 

The summary below is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the common warrants, which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the concurrent private placement and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form common warrants for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the common warrants.

 

Duration, Exercise Price and Anti-Dilutive Rights

 

The common warrants have an exercise price of $1.31 per share and will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the common warrants. The common warrants will expire on the 24-month anniversary of the initial exercise date. The common warrants contain standard adjustments to the exercise price including for stock splits, stock dividends and rights offerings.

 

Exercisability

 

Each common warrant will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrants at an exercise price of $1.31 per share, subject to adjustment, and will remain exercisable for two years from the initial exercise date, but not thereafter. 

 

Exercise Limitation

 

A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the common warrants to the extent that the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding common stock immediately after exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99%.

 

S-11

 

 

Cashless Exercise

 

In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may, in the event the shares underlying the common warrants, or the common warrants shares, are not registered under the Securities Act, elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the common warrants.

 

Fractional Shares

 

No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a common warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price or round up to the next whole share.

 

Fundamental Transaction

 

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the common warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, the holders of the common warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the common warrant the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the common warrant immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, in the event of a fundamental transaction, with some exceptions, we or a successor entity will be obligated to, at the option of the holder of such warrant, purchase such warrant from such holder by paying an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes value (as described in such warrants) of the unexercised portion of the common warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction.

 

Transferability

 

Subject to applicable laws, a common warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the common warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Resale/Registration Rights

 

Under the purchase agreement pursuant to which the common warrants were sold (the “Purchase Agreement”), we agreed that as soon as practicable (and in any event within 30 calendar days of the date of the Purchase Agreement), we would file a registration statement on Form S-1, referred to herein as the Re-Sale Registration Statement, providing for the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the common warrants, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 90 days following the closing date of this offering and to keep such registration statement effective at all times until the investors own no common warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon exercise thereof.

 

Exchange Listing

 

We do not intend to list the common warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

 

Rights as a Stockholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the common warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of common stock, the holders of the common warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise the common warrants.

 

S-12

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement dated September 17, 2025 (the “Engagement Letter”), we have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering. Under the terms of the Engagement Letter, the Placement Agent is not purchasing the securities offered by us in this offering, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will assist us in this offering on a reasonable best-efforts basis. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the Placement Agent and prospective investors. The Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the Engagement Letter. The Placement Agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with this offering. We may not sell the entire amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

 

The Placement Agent proposes to arrange for the sale of the shares we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus to one or more institutional or accredited investors through securities purchase agreements directly between the purchasers and us. We will only sell to such investors who have entered into the securities purchase agreement with us.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, from the date hereof until 30 days after the closing date of this offering, we may not issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the securities purchase agreement.

 

In addition, we have also agreed with the purchasers of our common stock, subject to certain exceptions, from the date of this prospectus supplement until one year after the closing date of this offering, that we will not effect or enter into an agreement to effect a “Variable Rate Transaction” as defined in the securities purchase agreement.

 

Fees and Expenses

 

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a placement agent fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate purchase price of the securities sold in this offering and a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price of the securities sold in this offering. The following table shows the per share and total cash Placement Agent’s fees we will pay to the Placement Agent in connection with the sale of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, assuming the purchase of all of the securities offered hereby.

 

   Per Share and accompanying Common Warrant   Total

(1)We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with this offering, discussed below. In addition, in connection with any future exercise of the common warrants, we have agreed to (A) pay the Placement Agent (i) a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect to the exercise of such common warrants and (ii) a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect to the exercise of such common warrants and (B) issue to the Placement Agent or its designees additional placement agent warrants to purchase that number of shares equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock underlying such common warrants that have been exercised.

We have also agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent $5,000 for its non-accountable expenses, $50,000 for fees and expenses of its legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses and $7,500 for its clearing fees. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding the Placement Agent’s fees and expenses, will be approximately $125,000.

 

In addition, we will issue to the Placement Agent, or its designees, placement agent warrants to purchase up to 143,130 shares of common stock. The placement agent warrants will be exercisable commencing on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon the exercise of the common warrants, will have an exercise price equal to $1.6375 per share and will expire on the earlier of (i) two years from the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise of such common warrants and (ii) September 22, 2030.

 

The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized on the resale of the shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

  may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

OUR COMPANY

 

Business Overview

 

We are a hearing health company focused on providing innovative medical technologies across the hearing loss spectrum. Our technologies are designed to shift the paradigm within the hearing industry and bring both providers and patients the hearing devices they desire. Founded in 1995, our vision is to create fully implanted hearing devices that leverage the natural ear – not an artificial microphone – to pick up sound. In recent years, we have focused almost exclusively on developing the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant (the “Acclaim CI”), our lead product candidate.

 

We believe that the Acclaim CI is a first-of-its-kind cochlear implant. Our fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound. The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI will only be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician. The Acclaim CI received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in 2019.

 

Our first product, the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (“Esteem FI-AMEI”), was created and received FDA approval in 2010. The Esteem FI-AMEI is a fully implanted active middle ear hearing device and remains the only FDA approved fully implanted hearing device in the US market. Unfortunately, the Esteem FI-AMEI failed to gain commercial traction, primarily due to a lack of reimbursement or insurance coverage from third-party payors. Despite commercial challenges, approximately 1,000 Esteem FI-AMEI devices were implanted. Some devices had been implanted in the early 2000s during clinical trials, providing Envoy Medical with nearly two decades of experience with its implantable sensor technology. Throughout our experience, our sensor technology proved a viable alternative and robust option to external or implanted microphones.

 

In late 2015, we made the decision to shift our focus from the Esteem FI-AMEI to a new product that would leverage our sensor technology and incorporate it into a cochlear implant. As a result, we now have the Acclaim CI, a fully implanted cochlear implant. We believe the Acclaim CI gives us the opportunity to disrupt the existing cochlear implant market. The cochlear implant market is one that already has established market acceptance and reimbursement pathways. In the United States, before we can market a new Class III medical device, which the Acclaim CI is, we must first receive FDA approval via the premarket application approval process.

 

In order for our pivotal clinical study to begin, we are required to obtain an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) from the FDA. We submitted an IDE application at the end of the first quarter of 2024. Due to some pending testing and the desire to continue interactive conversations with the FDA, we decided to convert the IDE to a “pre-submission” (sometimes referred to a Q-submission). This conversion allows for the pending testing to be completed and interactive feedback to be received from the FDA. FDA approval of the IDE is not guaranteed, and each step of the process may take longer than we have planned. We view the interactions with the FDA as a positive development that may increase the chances of a successful Premarket Approval (“PMA”) submission, which is planned to be filed at the conclusion of the pivotal clinical study. We believe it is advantageous that the pre-submission will allow us further discussion with the FDA now, prior to pivotal clinical trial beginning. We currently anticipate obtaining FDA approval of our PMA by the end of 2026, although the FDA approval process is uncertain, and we cannot guarantee that we will receive FDA approval on that timeline, or at all.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “Jobs Act”). As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

being permitted to provide only two years of audited financial statements, in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements, with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

 

an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act;

 

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements;

 

exemptions from the requirements to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation or seek shareholder approval of golden parachute arrangements not previously approved; and

 

an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We expect to take advantage of some or all of the reduced and other requirements that will be available to us as long as we qualify as an emerging growth company. We will, in general, remain an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years from the effectiveness of our initial registration statement in September 2023. We will cease to be an emerging growth company and become ineligible to rely on the above exemptions if we:

 

have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue in a fiscal year;

 

issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt during any three-year period; or

 

become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’).

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act. We may remain a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company, we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

 

We have taken advantage of these reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different from the information you receive from other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves risk. You should consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed on April 1, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which is incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. See “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be severely harmed. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

In addition, any prospectus supplement applicable to each offering of our securities will contain a discussion of the risks applicable to such an investment in us. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in such prospectus supplement or appearing or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the “Securities Act”, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which are subject to the safe harbor created by those sections. These forward-looking statements and information regarding us, our business prospects and our results of operations are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business, prospects and results of operations to differ materially from those that may be anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” herein and in our other filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. You should assume that the information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and any prospectus supplement, is accurate only as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus, and any prospectus supplement, or as of the date of the documents incorporated by reference herein or therein, as applicable. We expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference and in our other reports filed with the SEC that advise interested parties of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business.

 

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference, including statements regarding our plans, objectives and expectations for our business, operations and financial performance and condition, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “target,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments that we may make. Forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements relating to:

 

our financial performance;

 

changes in the market price of our Class A Common Stock;

 

unpredictability in the medical device industry, the regulatory process to approve medical devices, and the clinical development process of our products;

 

the potential need to make design changes to products to meet desired safety and efficacy endpoints;

 

changes in federal or state reimbursement policies that would adversely affect sales of our products;

 

3

 

 

introduction of other scientific advancements, including gene therapy or pharmaceuticals, that may impact the need for hearing devices such as cochlear implants or fully implanted active middle ear implants;

 

competition in the medical device industry, and the failure to introduce new products and services in a timely manner or at competitive prices to compete successfully against competitors;

 

disruptions in relationships with our suppliers, or disruptions in our own production capabilities for some of the key components and materials of our products;

 

changes in the need for capital and the availability of financing and capital to fund these needs;

 

our ability to realize some or all of the anticipated benefits of the business combination between Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I and the Company, which was completed on September 29, 2023;

 

changes in interest rates or rates of inflation;

 

legal, regulatory and other proceedings that could be costly and time-consuming to defend;

 

changes in applicable laws or regulations, or changes in how such laws or regulations are applied to us;

 

loss of any of our key intellectual property rights or failure to adequately protect intellectual property rights;

 

our ability to maintain the listing of our securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market;

 

the effects of catastrophic events, including war, terrorism and other international conflicts; and

 

other risks and uncertainties indicated in this prospectus, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this prospectus should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any duty to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

 

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities covered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, expansion of business development activities (including sales, marketing and reimbursement functions) and other general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of our net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary products, technologies or businesses, although we have no present commitments to complete any such transaction. Additional information on the use of net proceeds from the sale of securities covered by this prospectus may be set forth in any prospectus supplement relating to the specific offering.

 

The amounts and timing of our use of proceeds will vary depending on a number of factors, including the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. As a result, we will retain broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds of this offering.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, directly to one or more purchasers, including our affiliates, or through a combination of any of these methods. We may distribute securities 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;

 

prices related to the prevailing market prices; or

 

at negotiated prices.

 

We may also sell securities covered by this prospectus in an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such at the market offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.

 

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

 

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, if any;

 

the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

 

any options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;

 

any delayed delivery arrangements;

 

any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

 

any public offering price;

 

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

any commissions paid to agents.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the principal underwriters, the respective amount of securities underwritten, the nature of the obligation of the underwriters to take the securities and the nature of any material relationship between an underwriter and us.

 

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

 

6

 

 

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

 

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

 

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

We may provide underwriters, dealers and agents with indemnification against civil liabilities related to the offerings pursuant to this prospectus, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Underwriters, agents and dealers may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, each series of securities offered by us will be a new issue and will have no established trading market, other than our Class A Common Stock, which is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We may elect to list any series of offered securities on an exchange. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.

 

We, the underwriters or other agents may engage in derivative transactions involving the securities. These derivatives may consist of short sale transactions and other hedging activities. The underwriters or agents may acquire a long or short position in the securities, hold or resell securities acquired and purchase options or futures on the securities and other derivative instruments with returns linked to or related to changes in the price of the securities. In order to facilitate these derivative transactions, we may enter into security lending or repurchase agreements with the underwriters or agents. The underwriters or agents may effect the derivative transactions through sales of the securities to the public, including short sales, or by lending the securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. The underwriters or agents may also use the securities purchased or borrowed from us or others (or, in the case of derivatives, securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives) to directly or indirectly settle sales of the securities or close out any related open borrowings of the securities.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

 

The following summary of the material terms of our capital stock is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities, and is qualified by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are included as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and are incorporated herein by reference.

Common Stock

 

Authorized Common Stock

 

The Company is authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation to issue 400,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Voting Rights

 

Holders of our Class A Common Stock will be entitled to one vote for each share held as of the applicable record date on all matters properly submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election or removal of directors. Unless specified in our governing documents, or as required by applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast at any meeting of the stockholders at which there is a quorum by the stockholders present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon will be required to approve any such matter voted on by stockholders. The Board is divided into three (3) classes, each of which will generally serve for a term of three (3) years with only one (1) class of directors being elected each year. Our stockholders will not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

 

Dividend Rights

Preferred Stock

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock and the Board by resolution or resolutions, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designation, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing.

The preferred stock offered by this prospectus, when issued, will not have, or be subject to, any preemptive or similar rights.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for any series or class of preferred stock will be set forth in each applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

The Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions as summarized in the following paragraphs that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control and enhance the ability of the Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire the Company. However, these provisions may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter, or prevent a merger or acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A Common Stock held by stockholders.

 

Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock   

 

 Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock, of which 10,000,000 shares were designated as Series A Preferred Stock, with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated in the Certificate of Designation. When shares of Series A Preferred Stock are converted or otherwise reacquired by the Company, they will be promptly retired and not be reissued as shares of such series, but rather will become authorized but unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable the Board to make it more difficult to attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise.

 

Classified Board

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a classified board consisting of three classes of directors, with staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. This provision may have the effect of delaying a change in control of the Board.

 

Election and Removal of Directors and Board Vacancies 

 

Our Bylaws provide that directors are elected by a plurality vote. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, unless otherwise provided by resolution of the Board approved by at least a majority of the total authorized directorships, only the Board may fill vacancies and newly created directorships on the Board. Directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors. In addition, the number of directors constituting the Board may be set only by resolution adopted by a majority vote of the total authorized directorships. These provisions prevent stockholders from increasing the size of the Board and gaining control of the Board by filling the resulting directorships with their own nominees.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals

 

Our Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors that specify certain requirements as to the timing, form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders will be limited to those matters properly brought before the meeting. These provisions may make it more difficult for our stockholders to bring matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate directors at annual meetings of stockholders.

 

No Written Consent of Stockholders

 

 Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, all stockholder actions be taken by a vote of the stockholders at an annual or special meeting, and that stockholders may not take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. This limit may lengthen the amount of time required to take stockholder actions and would prevent the amendment of the Bylaws or removal of directors by our stockholders without holding a meeting of stockholders.

 

No Stockholder Ability to Call Special Meetings

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock, only the chairperson of the Board, the chief executive officer, the president or the Board, acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total authorized directorships on the Board, may be able to call special meetings of stockholders and only those matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered or acted upon at a special meeting of stockholders.

 

Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

 

Any amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by the Board, acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total authorized directorships on the Board, as well as, if required by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on the amendment and a majority of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, except that the amendment of Section 3 of Article IV, Section 2 of Article V, Section 1 of Article VI, Section 2 of Article VI, Section 5 of Article VII, Section 1 of Article VIII, Section 2 of Article VIII, Section 3 of Article VIII or Article XI of the Certificate of Incorporation must be approved by not less than the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Board or the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to amend the Bylaws, except that the amendment of Article VIII of the Bylaws must be approved by not less than the affirmative vote of 66.7% of the total voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock.

 

These provisions are designed to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Board and its policies, to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of our company and to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. We also designed these provisions to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, these provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they may also reduce fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

 

Delaware General Corporation Law Section 203

 

As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” (as defined in the statute) with an “interested stockholder” (as defined in the statute) for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person first becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business combination or the transaction by which the applicable stockholder became an interested stockholder is approved in advance by a majority of the independent directors or by the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the outstanding disinterested shares. The application of Section 203 of the DGCL could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

 

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, the Company’s stockholders have appraisal rights in connection with certain mergers, consolidations or conversions of the Company. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger, consolidation or conversion will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

 

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

 

Under the DGCL, any of the Company’s stockholders may bring an action in the Company’s name to procure a judgment in the Company’s favor, also known as a derivative action, if certain conditions are met, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of the Company’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

 

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

 

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors and certain officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ and officers’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Company’s governing documents include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL. The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on the Company’s behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director or officer for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer in certain circumstances, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director and does not apply to officers if the officer has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director or in the context of an action by or in the right of the Company.

 

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company must indemnify its directors, and the Bylaws provide that the Company must indemnify and advance expenses to its directors and officers, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. The Company is also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for its directors, officers, employees and agents for some liabilities. The Company believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and the authority to carry insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

 

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Governing Documents may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty.

 

These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any debt securities that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any debt securities offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. Unless the context requires otherwise, whenever we refer to the indenture, we also are referring to any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities.

 

We will issue the debt securities under the indenture that we will enter into with the trustee named in the indenture. The indenture will be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). We have filed the form of indenture as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and supplemental indentures and forms of debt securities containing the terms of the debt securities being offered will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or will be incorporated by reference from reports that we file with the SEC.

 

The following summary of material provisions of the debt securities and the indenture is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indenture applicable to a particular series of debt securities. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements and any related free writing prospectuses related to the debt securities that we may offer under this prospectus, as well as the complete indenture that contains the terms of the debt securities.

 

General

 

The indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that we may issue. It provides that we may issue debt securities up to the principal amount that we may authorize and may be in any currency or currency unit that we may designate. Except for the limitations on consolidation, merger, and sale of all or substantially all of our assets contained in the indenture, the terms of the indenture do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to give holders of any debt securities protection against changes in our operations, financial condition or transactions involving us.

 

We may issue the debt securities issued under the indenture as “discount securities,” which means they may be sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. These debt securities, as well as other debt securities that are not issued at a discount, may be issued with “original issue discount,” or OID, for U.S. federal income tax purposes because of interest payment and other characteristics or terms of the debt securities. Material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to debt securities issued with OID will be described in more detail in any applicable prospectus supplement.

the denominations in which we will issue the series of debt securities, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;

 

any and all terms, if applicable, relating to any auction or remarketing of the debt securities of that series and any security for our obligations with respect to such debt securities and any other terms which may be advisable in connection with the marketing of debt securities of that series;

additions to or changes in or deletions of the provisions relating to covenant defeasance and legal defeasance;

14

 

 

Conversion or Exchange Rights

 

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms on which a series of debt securities may be convertible into or exchangeable for our Class A Common Stock or our other securities. We will include provisions as to settlement upon conversion or exchange and whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option. We may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock or our other securities that the holders of the series of debt securities receive would be subject to adjustment.

 

Consolidation, Merger or Sale

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the indenture will not contain any covenant that restricts our ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer, or otherwise dispose of our assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety. However, any successor to or acquirer of such assets (other than a subsidiary of ours) must assume all of our obligations under the indenture or the debt securities, as appropriate.

 

Events of Default under the Indenture

 

Unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, the following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities that we may issue:

 

if we fail to pay any installment of interest on any series of debt securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment period by us in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

 

if we fail to pay the principal of, or premium, if any, on any series of debt securities as and when the same shall become due and payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to such series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such debt securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental thereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;

 

if we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and our failure continues for 90 days after we receive written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such is a notice of default thereunder, from the trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series; and

 

if specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur.

 

If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series occurs and is continuing, other than an event of default specified in the last bullet point above, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series, by notice to us in writing, and to the trustee if notice is given by such holders, may declare the unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest, if any, due and payable immediately. If an event of default specified in the last bullet point above occurs with respect to us, the principal amount of and accrued interest, if any, of each issue of debt securities then outstanding shall be due and payable without any notice or other action on the part of the trustee or any holder.

 

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of an affected series may waive any default or event of default with respect to the series and its consequences, except defaults or events of default regarding payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, unless we have cured the default or event of default in accordance with the indenture. Any waiver shall cure the default or event of default.

 

15

 

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture, if an event of default under an indenture shall occur and be continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under such indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the applicable series of debt securities, unless such holders have offered the trustee reasonable indemnity. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee, with respect to the debt securities of that series, provided that:

 

the direction so given by the holder is not in conflict with any law or the applicable indenture; and

 

subject to its duties under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the holders not involved in the proceeding.

 

A holder of the debt securities of any series will have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies only if:

 

the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default with respect to that series;

 

the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request;

 

such holders have offered to the trustee indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred by the trustee in compliance with the request; and

 

the trustee does not institute the proceeding, and does not receive from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series other conflicting directions within 90 days after the notice, request and offer.

 

These limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of debt securities if we default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on, the debt securities.

 

We will periodically file statements with the trustee regarding our compliance with specified covenants in the indenture.

 

Modification of Indenture; Waiver

 

We and the trustee may change an indenture without the consent of any holders with respect to specific matters:

 

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture or in the debt securities of any series;

 

to comply with the provisions described above under “Description of Debt Securities—Consolidation, Merger or Sale”;

 

to provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

 

to add to our covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions such new covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities, to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an event of default or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us in the indenture;

 

to add to, delete from or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication and delivery of debt securities, as set forth in the indenture;

 

to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series in any material respect;

 

to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of the debt securities of any series as provided above under “Description of Debt Securities—General” to establish the form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the indenture or any series of debt securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of debt securities;

 

16

 

 

to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment under the indenture by a successor trustee; or

 

to comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

In addition, under the indenture, the rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by us and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series that is affected. However, unless we provide otherwise in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular series of debt securities, we and the trustee may make the following changes only with the consent of each holder of any outstanding debt securities affected:

 

extending the fixed maturity of any debt securities of any series;

 

reducing the principal amount, reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest, or reducing any premium payable upon the redemption of any series of any debt securities; or

 

reducing the percentage of debt securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification, or waiver.

 

Discharge

 

The indenture provides that we can elect to be discharged from our obligations with respect to one or more series of debt securities, except for specified obligations, including obligations to:

 

provide for payment;

 

register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of the series;

 

replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of the series;

 

pay principal of and premium and interest on any debt securities of the series;

 

maintain paying agencies;

 

hold monies for payment in trust;

 

recover excess money held by the trustee;

 

compensate and indemnify the trustee; and

 

appoint any successor trustee.

 

In order to exercise our rights to be discharged, we must deposit with the trustee money or government obligations sufficient to pay all the principal of, any premium, if any, and interest on, the debt securities of the series on the dates payments are due.

 

Form, Exchange and Transfer

 

We will issue the debt securities of each series only in fully registered form without coupons and, unless we provide otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. The indenture provides that we may issue debt securities of a series in temporary or permanent global form and as book-entry securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company (the “DTC”), or another depositary named by us and identified in the applicable prospectus supplement with respect to that series. To the extent the debt securities of a series are issued in global form and as book-entry, a description of terms relating to any book-entry securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

17

 

 

At the option of the holder, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holder of the debt securities of any series can exchange the debt securities for other debt securities of the same series, in any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

Subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the debt securities may present the debt securities for exchange or for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or with the form of transfer endorsed thereon duly executed if so required by us or the security registrar, at the office of the security registrar or at the office of any transfer agent designated by us for this purpose. Unless otherwise provided in the debt securities that the holder presents for transfer or exchange, we will impose no service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange, but we may require payment of any taxes or other governmental charges.

 

We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement the security registrar, and any transfer agent in addition to the security registrar, that we initially designate for any debt securities. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents or rescind the designation of any transfer agent or approve a change in the office through which any transfer agent acts, except that we will be required to maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of each series.

 

If we elect to redeem the debt securities of any series, we will not be required to:

 

issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any debt securities of that series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of any debt securities that may be selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing; or

 

register the transfer or exchange of any debt securities so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any debt securities we are redeeming in part.

 

Information Concerning the Trustee

 

The trustee, other than during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under an indenture, undertakes to perform only those duties as are specifically set forth in the applicable indenture. Upon an event of default under an indenture, the trustee must use the same degree of care as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Subject to this provision, the trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur.

 

Payment and Paying Agents

 

Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make payment of the interest on any debt securities on any interest payment date to the person in whose name the debt securities, or one or more predecessor securities, are registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest.

 

We will pay principal of and any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of the paying agents designated by us, except that unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will make interest payments by check that we will mail to the holder or by wire transfer to certain holders. Unless we otherwise indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will designate the corporate trust office of the trustee as our sole paying agent for payments with respect to debt securities of each series. We will name in the applicable prospectus supplement any other paying agents that we initially designate for the debt securities of a particular series. We will maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities of a particular series.

 

All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any debt securities that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security thereafter may look only to us for payment thereof.

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, except to the extent that the Trust Indenture Act is applicable.
