Our Company
Overview
We are a provider of technologically-advanced telecom solutions to network operators, mobile device carriers, governmental units and other enterprises worldwide. We have assembled a portfolio of communications, power and portable infrastructure technologies, capabilities and products that enable the upgrading of latent 3G networks to 4G and 4G-LTE networks and will facilitate the rapid roll out of the 5G and “next-Generation” (“nG”) networks of the future. We focus on novel capabilities, including signal modulations, antennae, software, hardware and firmware technologies that enable increasingly efficient data transmission across the electromagnetic spectrum. Our product solutions are complemented by a broad array of services, including technical support, systems design and integration, and sophisticated research and development programs. While we compete globally on the basis of our innovative technology, the breadth of our product offerings, our high-quality cost-effective customer solutions, and the scale of our global customer base and distribution, our primary focus is on the North American telecom infrastructure and service market. We believe we are in a unique position to rapidly increase our near-term domestic sales as we are among the few U.S.-based providers of telecommunications equipment and services.
We provide the following categories of product offerings and solutions to our customers:
● | Telecom and Network Products and Solutions. We design, develop, market and sell technologically-advanced products for telecom network operators, mobile device carriers and other enterprises, including the following: |
● | Backhaul Telecom Radios. We offer a line of high-capacity packet microwave solutions that drive next-generation IP networks. Our carrier-grade point-to-point packet microwave systems transmit broadband voice, video and data. Our solutions enable service providers, government agencies, enterprises and other organizations to meet their increasing bandwidth requirements rapidly and affordably. The principal application of our product portfolio is wireless network transport, including a range of products ideally suited to support the emergence of underlying small cell networks. Additional solutions include leased-line replacement, last mile fiber extension and enterprise networks. |
● | In-Band Full-Duplex Technologies. We have developed proprietary wireless transmission technologies that alleviate the performance limitations of the principal transmission technologies used by most networks today. Time Division Duplex (TDD) transmission technology used by many communications systems utilizes a single channel for transmission of data alternating between downlink or uplink, which limits capacity/throughput. Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) technologies in the marketplace today use two independent channels for downlink and uplink but require twice the spectrum. Neither TDD nor FDD can simultaneously transmit and receive on a single channel — a limitation that network advancements and 5G will require for optimal performance. In late 2021, we intend to commence offering products incorporating our proprietary In-Band Full-Duplex technologies that simultaneously transmit and receive data on a single channel, which resolves the limitation of current TDD and FDD transmissions by increasing network performance and doubling spectrum efficiency. |

● | Edge Compute Capable Small Cell 4G LTE and 5G Access Radios. We offer Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) frequency and other small cell radios that are designed to connect to other access radios or to connect directly to mobile devices such as mobile phones and other IoT devices. Recently, we developed the world’s first fully-virtualized 5G core network on a microcomputer the size of a credit card, enabling, for the first time, the ability to have the 5G network collocated on the network edge with the small cell communicating with the devices themselves. The small cells support edge-based application hosting and enable third-party service integration. |
● | Intelligent Batteries and Back-Up Power Solutions. We are developing for the telecom industry a full line of environmentally-friendly, non-volatile advanced intelligent lithium-ion batteries and back-up power units that charge quickly, have a life span approximately five times longer than conventional lead-acid batteries, and can be monitored remotely. We are also currently offering and developing models that provide power for a wide range of applications, including cellular towers and other radio access network (RAN) infrastructures, automobiles, boats, spacecraft and other vehicles. |
● | Tethered Drones and Aerostats. We design, manufacture, sell and provide logistical services for specialized tethered aerial monitoring and communications platforms serving national defense and security customers for use in applications such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (“ISR”) and communications. We focus primarily on a suite of tethered aerostats known as the Winch Aerostat Small Platform (“WASP”), which are principally designed for military and security applications and provide secure and reliable aerial monitoring for extended durations while being tethered to the ground via a high-strength armored tether. Our recently-acquired HoverMast line of quadrotor-tethered drones feature uninterruptible ground-based power, fiber optic communications for cyber immunity, and the ability to operate in GPS-denied environments while delivering dramatically-improved situational awareness and communications capabilities to users. |
We are also developing processes that we believe will significantly advance the state-of-the-art in silicon photonic (SiP) devices for use in advanced data interconnects, communication networks and computing systems. We believe our novel approach will allow us to overcome the limitations of current SiP modulators, dramatically increase computing bandwidth and reduce drive power while offering lower operating costs.
Our engineering and management teams have extensive experience in optical systems and networking, digital signal processing, large-scale application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design and verification, SiP design and integration, system software development, hardware design, high-speed electronics design and network planning, installation, maintenance and servicing. We believe this broad expertise in a wide range of advanced technologies, methodologies and processes enhances our innovation, design and development capabilities, and has enabled us, and we believe will continue to enable us, to develop and introduce future-generation communications and computing technologies. In the course of our product development cycles, we engage with our customers as they design their current and next-generation network equipment in order to gauge current and future market needs.
Our more than 700 customers include a majority of the leading global telecommunication operators, as well as many data center managers and leading multi-system operators (MSOs), and hundreds of enterprise customers, including many Fortune 500 companies. We have long-standing, direct relationships with our customers and serve them through a direct sales force and a global network of channel partners.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of June 4, 2021 by:
● | each person known by us to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock; |
● | each of our directors; |
● | each of our executive officers; and |
● | all directors and executive officers as a group. |
The amounts and percentages of common stock beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days after June 4, 2021. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest. Except as indicated by footnote, to our knowledge, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them.
In the table below, the percentage of beneficial ownership of our common stock is based on 71,531,070 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 4, 2021. Unless otherwise noted below, the address of the persons listed on the table is c/o COMSovereign Holding Corp., 5000 Quorum Drive, Suite 400, Dallas, Texas 75254.

On June 4, 2021, there were 71,531,070 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Common stock options and derivative securities held by other stockholders are disregarded in this calculation. Therefore, the denominator used in calculating beneficial ownership among our stockholders may differ. Unless we have indicated otherwise, each person named in the table has sole voting power and sole investment power for the shares listed opposite such person’s name. |

Our authorized capital stock consists of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of June 4, 2021, 71,531,070 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. In addition, as of such date, 10,375,804 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase warrants, including the Warrants, 5,805,011 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding common stock purchase options, and 4,848,547 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the conversion of outstanding convertible debt incurred in conjunction with the Fastback acquisition.
Common Stock
Voting, Dividend and Other Rights. Each outstanding share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters presented to the stockholders for a vote. Holders of shares of common stock have no cumulative voting, pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights. All shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this registration statement will be duly authorized, fully paid and non-assessable. Our board of directors determines if and when distributions may be paid out of legally available funds to the holders. To date, we have not declared any dividends with respect to our common stock. Our declaration of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our board of directors’ determination as to whether, in light of our earnings, financial position, cash requirements and other relevant factors existing at the time, it appears advisable to do so. We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future.
Rights Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation, subject to the right of any holders of the preferred stock to receive preferential distributions, each outstanding share of common stock may participate pro rata in the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, all our known debts and liabilities.
Majority Voting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders. A plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders elects our directors. The common stock does not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of our directors. In general, a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders must authorize stockholder actions other than the election of directors. Most amendments to our articles of incorporation require the vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding voting shares.
Preferred Stock
Authority of Board of Directors to Create Series and Fix Rights. Under our articles of incorporation, as amended, our board of directors can issue up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series. The board of directors is authorized to fix by resolution as to any series the designation and number of shares of the series, the voting rights, the dividend rights, the redemption price, the amount payable upon liquidation or dissolution, the conversion rights, and any other designations, preferences or special rights or restrictions as may be permitted by law. Unless the nature of a particular transaction and the rules of law applicable thereto require such approval, our board of directors has the authority to issue these shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation, as Amended, and Our Bylaws
Provisions of our articles of incorporation, as amended, and our bylaws could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest, open market purchases, removal of incumbent directors and otherwise. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.
Calling of Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our bylaws provide that special meetings of the stockholders may be called only by the chief executive officer, if any, or the president or the board of directors.
Removal of Directors; Vacancies. Our bylaws provide that a director may be removed either for or without cause at any special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote; provided, however, that notice of intention to act upon such matter shall have been given in the notice calling such meeting.
Amendment of Bylaws. Our bylaws provide that our bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed at any meeting of the board of directors at which a quorum is present, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at such meeting.
Preferred Stock. Our articles of incorporation, as amended, authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with such rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors in their sole discretion. Our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, issue series of preferred stock with dividends, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

The table below sets forth, as of June 4, 2021, the following information regarding the Selling Stockholders:
● | the number of shares of common stock owned by each Selling Stockholder prior to this offering, without regard to any beneficial ownership limitations contained in the Warrants; |
● | the number of shares of common stock to be offered by each Selling Stockholder in this offering; |
● | the number of shares of common stock to be owned by each Selling Stockholder assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus; and |
● | the percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock to be owned by each Selling Stockholder assuming the sale of all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus based on the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of June 4, 2021. |
Except as described above, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder has been determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and includes, for such purpose, shares of common stock that the Selling Stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of June 4, 2021.
The shares of common stock that may be offered by certain Selling Stockholders hereunder may be acquired by such Selling Stockholders upon the exercise by such Selling Stockholders of the Warrants that are held by such Selling Stockholders and that were previously issued in a private transaction by our company. The outstanding shares of common stock that may be offered by certain other Selling Stockholders hereunder were issued in private transactions by our company in connection with the acquisition of certain of our subsidiaries. Descriptions of the private transactions in which we issued the Warrants or the outstanding shares of common stock are set forth under the caption “Issuance of Securities to Selling Stockholders.” Except as otherwise indicated, we believe that the Selling Stockholders have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of common stock.
All information with respect to the common stock ownership of each Selling Stockholder has been furnished by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholder. We believe, based on information supplied by the Selling Stockholders, that except as may otherwise be indicated in the footnotes to the table below, each Selling Stockholder has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of common stock reported as beneficially owned by it. Because the Selling Stockholders may sell some or all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and covered by this prospectus, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of the shares of common stock, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares of common stock available for resale hereby that will be held by the Selling Stockholders upon termination of this offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, the shares of common stock it beneficially owns in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which it provided the information set forth in the table below. We have, therefore, assumed for the purposes of the following table, that each Selling Stockholder will sell all of the shares of common stock owned beneficially by it that are covered by this prospectus, but will not sell any other shares of common stock that it presently owns. Except in the case of (i) Brain M. Kelly, our Executive Vice President for Business Development, who joined our company in connection with our acquisition of RVision on April 1, 2021, and (ii) Scott R. Velazquez, our Chief Research Officer, who joined our company in connection with our acquisition of Innovation Digital on June 3, 2021, no Selling Stockholder has held any position or office, or has otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our shares of common stock or other securities.

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of its shares of common stock being offered under this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which our common stock is traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares of common stock:
● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resales by the broker-dealer for its account; |
● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
● | privately negotiated transactions; |
● | to cover short sales made after the date that the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; |
● | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
● | a combination of any of these methods of sale; and |
● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The shares of common stock may also be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available for a Selling Stockholder, rather than under this prospectus. Each Selling Stockholder has the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of shares of common stock if it deems the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The Selling Stockholders may pledge their shares of common stock to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a Selling Stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares.
Broker-dealers engaged by a Selling Stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from a Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, which commissions as to a particular broker or dealer may be in excess of customary commissions to the extent permitted by applicable law.
If sales of shares of common stock offered under this prospectus are made to broker-dealers as principals, we would be required to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. In the post-effective amendment, we would be required to disclose the names of any participating broker-dealers and the compensation arrangements relating to such sales.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that are deemed to be underwriters may not sell common shares offered under this prospectus unless and until we set forth the names of the underwriters and the material details of their underwriting arrangements in a supplement to this prospectus or, if required, in a replacement prospectus included in a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
18
The Selling Stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations under that act, including Regulation M. These provisions may restrict activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by, the Selling Stockholders or any other person. Furthermore, under Regulation M, persons engaged in a distribution of securities are prohibited from simultaneously engaging in market making and other activities with respect to those securities for a specified period of time prior to the commencement of such distributions, subject to specified exceptions or exemptions. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock.
If any of the shares of common stock offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus are transferred other than pursuant to a sale under this prospectus, then subsequent holders could not use this prospectus until a post-effective amendment or prospectus supplement is filed, naming such holders. We offer no assurance as to whether the Selling Stockholder will sell all or any portion of the shares offered under this prospectus.
We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective at all times until the Selling Stockholders no longer own any Warrants or shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise thereof. The shares of common stock will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares of common stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
The legality of the issuance of the shares of common stock offered in this prospectus will be passed for us by Flangas Law Group, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Our financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the period January 10, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, have been audited by Haskell & White LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report, which is incorporated by reference herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 13. | Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution |
The following table sets forth the expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the Securities registered hereby, all of which expenses, except for the Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee, are estimates:
Description | Amount | |||
SEC Filing Fee | $ | 1,849.46 | ||
Printing Expenses | 500.00 | |||
Accounting Fees and Expenses | 15,000.00 | |||

Miscellaneous | 2,650.54 | |||
Total | $ | 50,000.00 |
Item 14. | Indemnification of Directors and Officers |
Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) Section 78.7502 provides that a corporation shall indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with any the defense to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to Section 78.7502(1) or 78.7502(2), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.
NRS 78.7502(1) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502(2) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he: (a) is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138; or (b) acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals there from, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
II-1
NRS Section 78.747 provides that except as otherwise provided by specific statute, no director or officer of a corporation is individually liable for a debt or liability of the corporation, unless the director or officer acts as the alter ego of the corporation. The court as a matter of law must determine the question of whether a director or officer acts as the alter ego of a corporation.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the full extent permitted by NRS, including in circumstances in which indemnification is otherwise discretionary under such law.
These indemnification provisions may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers, directors and other corporate agents for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.
We have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other business against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the person in any of these capacities, or arising out of the person’s fulfilling one of these capacities, and related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person against the claim under the provisions of the NRS. We do not currently maintain director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our director and officers; however, we intends to so purchase and maintain such insurance when economically feasible.
Item 15. | Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities |
During the past three years, we have issued securities in the following transactions, each of which was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Except for the shares of our common stock that were issued upon the conversion of convertible indebtedness, all of the below-referenced securities were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and are deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act. There were no underwriters or placement agents employed in connection with any of these transactions. Use of the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) for transactions not involving a public offering is based on the following facts:
● | Neither we nor any person acting on our behalf solicited any offer to buy or sell securities by any form of general solicitation or advertising. |
● | The recipients were either accredited or otherwise sophisticated individuals who had such knowledge and experience in business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in our securities. |
● | The recipients had access to business and financial information concerning our company. |
● | All securities issued were issued with a restrictive legend and may only be disposed of pursuant to an effective registration or exemption from registration in compliance with federal and state securities laws. |
The shares of our common stock that were issued upon the conversion of our Series A preferred stock and convertible indebtedness were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and are deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act.
The number of shares of common stock issued or issuable in each transaction, and the price per share of common stock in each transaction, has been adjusted to give effect to the proposed one-for-three reverse stock split of the common stock to be effected following the effective date of Registration Statement but prior to the closing of the offering contemplated hereby.

Item 17. | Undertakings |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that:
(1) | To file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: |
(i) | Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; | |
(ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement; and | |
(iii) | Include any additional or changed information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) | For determining liability under the Securities Act, the Company will treat each such post-effective amendment as a new Registration Statement of the securities offered, and the offering of such securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering. | |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. | |
(4) | For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new Registration Statement for the securities offered in the Registration Statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities. | |
(5) | For determining liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. | |
(6) | For determining liability under the Securities Act, if securities are offered or sold to a purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Company will be a seller to such purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; | |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company; | |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the Company or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Company; and | |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Company to a purchaser. |
