TD HOLDINGS, INC. 

Up to US$1,500,000 Common Stock

Issuable upon the conversion of

10% Convertible Promissory Note Due 2024

 

Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we are offering, from time to time, shares of our common stock, par value 0.001 par value per share, for an aggregate offering price of up to US$1,500,000, issuable upon the conversion of US$1,500,000 principal amount of 10% convertible note due 2024 (the “Note”) and interest accrued thereon to Streeterville Capital, LLC (“Streeterville Capital” or the “Investor”).

 

The Note was purchased by the Investor from us pursuant to a securities purchase agreement on March 13, 2023. The Note has a principal amount of US$3,320,000.00 (the “Principal”) and bears an interest rate that equals to ten percent (10%) per annum. The purchase price for the Note is $3,000,000.00 (the “Purchase Price”, and the date on which the Purchase Price is delivered by Streeterville Capital to the Company, the “Purchase Price Date”). The Principal and the interest payable under the Note will become due and payable twelve (12) months from the Purchase Price Date (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier converted or prepaid by us. The Note has a conversion price (the “Redemption Conversion Price”) equal to eighty percent (80%) multiplied by the lowest VWAP (the dollar volume-weighted average price for shares of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market) during the fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding the date a redemption notice is delivered (the “Redemption Date”). In this prospectus supplement, we refer to all shares issued by us pursuant to conversion of the Note as “Conversion Shares.” The Investor has the right to redeem the Note at any time beginning on the date that is ninety (90) days from the Purchase Price Date until the outstanding balance has been paid in full, subject to the maximum monthly redemption amount of $375,000.00 (the “Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount”). Redemptions may be satisfied in cash, common stock at the Redemption Conversion Price, or any combination of the foregoing. We have the right, but not the obligation, to prepay all or any portion of the outstanding balance under this Note prior to the Maturity Date at a cash prepayment price equal to 125% of the outstanding balance to be prepaid. For a more detailed description of the Note, see the section entitled “Description of Securities We Are Offering” beginning on page S-11.

  

Our shares of common stock are currently traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “GLG.” On March 13, 2023, the closing sale price of our shares of common stock was US$1.16 per share.

 

The aggregate market value of our outstanding shares of common stock held by non-affiliates was approximately US$144,363,405 based on 144, 416,101 outstanding shares of common stock, of which 116,422,101 shares are held by non-affiliates, and per share price of US$1.24, which was the last reported price on the NASDAQ Capital Market of our common stock on March 3, 2023. We have offered US$559,072.97 of securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this prospectus supplement and we may sell up to approximately US$100 million of securities hereunder.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus and any supplement hereto carefully, including the risk factors section as well as the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements incorporated herein by reference.

 

Our Company

 

TD Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Bat Group, Inc.) currently engages in the commodity trading business (the “Commodities Trading Business”) and supply chain service business (the “Supply Chain Service Business”) in China. The Commodities Trading Business primarily involves purchasing non-ferrous metal products from upstream metal and mineral suppliers and then selling to downstream customers. The Supply Chain Service Business primarily has served as a one-stop commodity supply chain service and digital intelligence supply chain platform integrating upstream and downstream enterprises, warehouses, logistics, information, and futures trading.

 

The following diagram illustrates our corporate structure as of the date of this prospectus supplement.

 

 

Our Business

 

Commodities Trading Business

 

We have operated the Commodities Trading Business through Shenzhen Huamucheng Trading Co., Ltd. (“Huamucheng”) since November 2019, which was renamed Shenzhen Baiyu Jucheng Data Technology Co., Ltd. (“Shenzhen Baiyu Jucheng”) in 2021. On November 22, 2019, Hao Limo Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Hao Limo”), our indirectly wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a series of agreements with Huamucheng and the shareholders of Huamucheng pursuant to which we obtained control of Huamucheng (the “VIE Agreements”). On June 25, 2020, Hao Limo and Huamucheng entered into certain VIE termination agreements to terminate the Huamucheng VIE Agreements. As such, Hao Limo no longer has the control rights and rights to the assets, property and revenue of Huamucheng. At the same time, Shanghai Jianchi Supply Chain Company Limited (“Shanghai Jianchi”), our wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in China, acquired 100% equity interest of Huamucheng from the Huamucheng shareholders for nominal consideration.

 

S-1

 

 

The Commodity Trading Business primarily involves purchasing non-ferrous metal products, such as aluminum ingots, copper, silver, and gold, from upstream metal and mineral suppliers and then selling to downstream customers. In connection with the Company’s commodity sales, in order to help customers to obtain sufficient funds to purchase various metal products and also help upstream metal and mineral suppliers to sell their metal products, the Company launched its Supply Chain Service Business in December 2019. The Company primarily generates revenues from bulk non-ferrous commodity products, and from providing related supply chain management services in the PRC.

 

Through Huamucheng’s business, we source bulk commodity products from non-ferrous metal and mines or its designated distributors and then sells to manufacturers who need these metals in large quantity. We also work with upstream suppliers in the sourcing of commodities. 

 

Supply Chain Service Business

 

Our Supply Chain Service Business is conducted through Shenzhen Qianhai Baiyu Supply Chain Co., Ltd. (“Qianhai Baiyu”), our wholly-owned subsidiary incorporated in China. On October 26, 2020, Huamucheng entered into certain share purchase agreements to acquire 100% shares of Qianhai Baiyu. Qianhai Baiyu is engaged in the supply chain service business and covers a full range of commodities, including non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals, coal, metallurgical raw materials, soybean oils, oils, rubber, wood and various other types of commodities. It also has a supply chain infrastructure, which includes processing, logistics, warehousing and terminals. Utilizing its customer base, industry experience, and expertise in the commodity trading industry, Qianhai Baiyu serves as a one-stop commodity supply chain service and digital intelligence supply chain platform integrating upstream and downstream enterprises, warehouses, logistics, information, and futures trading.

 

The acquisition of Qianhai Baiyu has laid a solid foundation for the Company to further expand its operations in the commodity supply chain field. The Company plans to strengthen and upgrade its supply chain services platform by introducing a systematic quantitative risk control system, which will be based on the Qianhai Baiyu’s massive historical market data and complex data analysis models. The platform is expected to establish a quantitative risk management system utilizing ETL data integration (Extract, Transform, Load) as its core, and then optimize trading portfolios by incorporating a combination of various factors and strategies in order to effectively control risks and sustain business development.

 

Disposition of the Used Luxury Car Leasing Business

 

Historically, one of our core businesses has been the used luxury car leasing business conducted through Beijing Tianxing Kunlun Technology Co. Ltd (“Beijing Tianxing”), an entity we controlled via certain contractual arrangements. Beijing Tianxing offers our customers the opportunity to rent luxury pre-owned automobiles in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Chengdu, China.  

 

S-2

 

 

On August 28, 2020, the Company, Vision Loyal Limited (“Vision Loyal”), HC High Summit Limited (“HC High HK”) and HC High Summit Holding Limited (“HC High BVI”) entered into a certain share purchase agreement (the “Disposition SPA”). HC High BVI, our wholly-owned subsidiary, is the sole shareholder of HC High HK, a company incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong S.A.R. of the PRC. HC High HK is the sole shareholder of Hao Limo which, via a series of contractual arrangements, controls Beijing Tianxing. Pursuant to the Disposition SPA, HC High BVI agreed to sell HC High HK in exchange for a nominal consideration of US$1.00, based on a valuation report rendered by an independent third party valuation firm, Beijing North Asia Asset Assessment Firm The transaction contemplated by the Disposition SPA is hereby referred as the Disposition.

 

Upon the closing of the Disposition on August 28, 2020, Vision Loyal became the sole shareholder of HC High HK and, as a result, assumed all assets and liabilities of all the subsidiaries and variable interest entities owned or controlled by HC High HK.  

 

Competition

 

We mainly compete against other large domestic commodity metal product trading service providers such as Xiamen International Trade Group Corp, Ltd. Currently, the principal competitive factors in the non-ferrous metals commodities trading business are price, product availability, quantity, service, and financing terms for purchases and sales of commodities.

 

Applicable Government Regulations

 

Huamucheng has obtained all material approvals, permits, licenses and certificates required for our non-ferrous metals commodities trading operations, including registrations from the local business and administrative department authorizing the purchase of raw materials.

 

Qianhai Baiyu has obtained all material approvals, permits, licenses and certificates required for providing supply chain management, design, consultation and related services, including registrations from the local business and administrative department authorizing the purchase of raw materials.

RISK FACTORS

 

Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.

 

Risk Factors Relating to This Offering

 

Issuance of our common stock to the Investor may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

It is anticipated that Conversion Shares offered to the Investor will be sold from time to time. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, the sale of the Conversion Shares under the Purchase Agreement may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

 

Since our management will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from this offering, we may use the proceeds in ways with which you disagree.

 

Our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. 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 influence how the proceeds are being used. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow. 

 

Because we are a smaller reporting company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

 

As a public company with listed equity securities, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC and the NASDAQ, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations occupies a significant amount of the time of our Board of Directors and management and significantly increases our costs and expenses. Among other things, we must:

 

maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

comply with rules and regulations promulgated by the NASDAQ;

 

prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;

 

maintain various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading in our common stock;

 

involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities;

 

maintain a comprehensive internal audit function; and

 

maintain an investor relations function.

 

S-5

 

 

Future sales of our common stock, whether by us or our stockholders, could cause our stock price to decline.

 

If our existing shareholders sell, or indicate an intent to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly. Similarly, the perception in the public market that our shareholders might sell shares of our common stock could also depress the market price of our common stock. A decline in the price of shares of our common stock might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities. In addition, the issuance and sale by us of additional shares of our common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of our common stock, or the perception that we will issue such securities, could reduce the trading price for our common stock as well as make future sales of equity securities by us less attractive or not feasible. The sale of shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of our outstanding options and warrants could further dilute the holdings of our then existing shareholders.

  

Securities analysts may not cover our common stock and this may have a negative impact on the market price of our common stock.

 

The trading market for our common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over independent analysts (provided that we have engaged various non-independent analysts). We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by independent securities and industry analysts. If no independent securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, the trading price for our common stock would be negatively impacted. If we obtain independent securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our stock price and trading volume to decline.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

 

We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares of our common stock or other securities in any other offering or other transactions at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering.

 

The price of our common stock may be volatile or may decline, which may make it difficult for investors to resell shares of our common stock at prices they find attractive. 

 

The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. In addition, the stock market is subject to fluctuations in the share prices and trading volumes that affect the market prices of the shares of many companies. These broad market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Among the factors that could affect our stock price are: 

 

the perception of U.S. investors and regulators of U.S. listed Chinese companies;

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

 

changes in financial estimates by securities research analysts;

 

negative publicity, studies or reports;

 

changes in the economic performance or market valuations of other microcredit companies;

 

S-6

 

 

announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

 

addition or departure of key personnel;

 

fluctuations of exchange rates between RMB and the U.S. dollar;

 

general economic or political conditions in China.

 

actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition, and, in particular, further deterioration of asset quality;

 

  changes in revenue or earnings estimates or publication of research reports and recommendations by financial analysts;

 

failure to meet analysts’ revenue or earnings estimates;

 

speculation in the press or investment community;

 

strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

 

actions by institutional shareholders;

 

fluctuations in the stock price and operating results of our competitors;

 

general market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the financial services industry;

 

proposed or adopted regulatory changes or developments;

 

anticipated or pending investigations, proceedings or litigation that involve or affect us; or

 

domestic and international economic factors unrelated to our performance.

 

S-7

 

 

The stock market has experienced significant volatility recently. As a result, the market price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate more than usual and cause significant price variations to occur. The trading price of the shares of our common stock and the value of our other securities will depend on many factors, which may change from time to time, including, without limitation, our financial condition, performance, creditworthiness and prospects, future sales of our equity or equity related securities, and other factors identified above in “Forward-Looking Statements.” 

 

Accordingly, the shares of our common stock that an investor purchases, whether in this offering or in the secondary market, may trade at a price lower than that at which they were purchased, and, similarly, the value of our other securities may decline. Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented. The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength.

 

A significant decline in our stock price could result in substantial losses for individual shareholders and could lead to costly and disruptive securities litigation.

 

Volatility in our common stock price may subject us to securities litigation.

 

The market for our common stock may have, when compared to seasoned issuers, significant price volatility and we expect that our share price may continue to be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

 

Our certificate of incorporation allows our board of directors to create new series of preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common stock.

 

Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors has the authority to issue up to 600,000,000 shares of our common stock and up to 50,000,000 shares of our preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible into our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders. Although we have no present intention to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to create any additional series of preferred stock, we may issue such shares in the future.

 

Risk Factors Relating to Our Newly Acquired of Supply Chain Service Business

 

Acquisitions or strategic investments we have made or may make could turn out to be unsuccessful.

 

As part of our strategy, we frequently monitor and analyze acquisition or investment opportunities that we believe will create value for our shareholders. For example, in October 2020, we acquired Qianhai Baiyu and plan to leverage Qianhai Baiyu’s experiences and techniques to expand our operations in the commodity supply chain service field.

 

S-8

 

 

However, our acquisition of Qianhai Baiyu or future acquisitions and investments could involve numerous risks that may prevent us from fully realizing the benefits that we anticipated as a result of the transaction. These risks include the failure to derive any commercial value from the acquired technology, products and intellectual property including as a result of the failure to obtain regulatory approval or to monetize products once approved, as well as risks from lengthy product development and high upfront development costs without guarantee of successful results. Patents and other intellectual property rights covering acquired technology and/or intellectual property may not be obtained, and if obtained, may not be sufficient to fully protect the technology or intellectual property. We may be subject to liabilities, including unanticipated litigation costs, that are not covered by indemnification protection we may obtain. As we pursue or consummate a strategic acquisition or investment, we may value the acquired or funded company incorrectly, fail to successfully manage our operations as our asset diversity increases, expend unforeseen costs during the acquisition or integration process, or encounter other unanticipated risks or challenges. Once an investment is made, we may fail to value it accurately, properly account for it in our consolidated financial statements, or successfully divest it or otherwise realize the value which we originally invested or have subsequently reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Any failure by us to effectively limit such risks as we implement our acquisitions or strategic investments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations and may negatively impact our net income and cause the price of our securities to fall.

 

Our Commodity Trading and Supply Chain Service Businesses are susceptible to volatility due to ongoing uncertainty as a result of ongoing international and domestic pandemic response and recovery efforts.

 

Our Commodities Trading and Supply Chain Services Businesses have been relatively stable since May 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic has been brought under control in Shenzhen China. As of the date of this prospectus, we are continuing to execute our pandemic response plan and planning to best position our company to emerge as strong as possible when the COVID-19 pandemic officially ends. However, our Commodities Trading and Supply Chain Services Businesses are still susceptible to volatility due to ongoing international and domestic pandemic response and recovery efforts. Despite our diligent efforts to monitor and respond as appropriate to the impacts of the pandemic on our Commodities Trading and Supply Chain Services Businesses, there remains a fair degree of uncertainty regarding the potential impact of the pandemic on our business, from both a financial and operational perspective, and the scope and costs associated with additional measures that may be necessary in response to the pandemic going forward.

 

If customers of our supply chain services are able to reduce their logistics and supply chain costs or increase utilization of their internal solutions, our supply chain services business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Qianhai Baiyu has a supply chain infrastructure, which includes processing, logistics, warehousing and terminals. Utilizing its customer base, industry experience, and expertise in the commodity trading industry, Qianhai Baiyu serves as a one-stop commodity supply chain service and digital intelligence supply chain platform integrating upstream and downstream enterprises, warehouses, logistics, information, and futures trading.

 

A major driver for merchants and other customers to use third-party logistics and supply chain service providers is the high cost and degree of difficulty associated with developing in-house logistics and supply chain expertise and operational efficiencies. If, however, our customers are able to develop their own logistics and supply chain solutions, increase utilization of their in-house supply chain, reduce their logistics spending, or otherwise choose to terminate our services, our logistics and supply chain management business and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of Conversion Shares by the Investor. However, we estimate that we will receive a total of US$3.0 million gross proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Promissory Note issued on March 13, 2023 to the Investor. The Conversion Shares are shares that may be issued to the Investor upon conversion of all or any portion of the Note.

 

Any net proceeds we have received will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

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, and the rate of growth, if any, of our business. As a result, we will retain broad discretion in the timing and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering. In addition, while we have not entered into any agreements, commitments or understandings relating to any significant transaction as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we may use a portion of the net proceeds to pursue acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

 

Convertible Note

 

On March 13, 2023, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company has issued a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) to the Investor.

 

The Note bears interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note will become due and payable twelve (12) months after the date the purchase price is delivered by the Investor to the Company (the “Purchase Price Date”). The Note carries an original issue discount of US$300,000.00 along with US$20,000.00 for the Investor’s legal fees, accounting costs, due diligence, monitoring and other transaction costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of the Note. The Company may prepay all or a portion of the Note at any time by paying 125% of the outstanding balance elected for pre-payment. The Investor has the right to redeem the Note at any time beginning on the date that is ninety (90) days from the Purchase Price Date, subject to the maximum monthly redemption amount of US$375,000.00. Redemptions may be satisfied in cash, common stock or any combination of the foregoing. The Company will be required to pay the Redemption Amount (as defined in the Note) in cash, in the event there is an Equity Conditions Failure (as defined in the Note) and such failure is not waived in writing by the Investor. If the Investor converts such Note into the common stock, such Conversion Shares will be issued at 80% of the average of the lowest volume weighted average price of the common stock on the principal market for a particular trading day or set of trading days, as the case may be, as reported by Bloomberg during the fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding Redemption Date.

 

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Investor will have the right to increase the outstanding balance of the Note by 15% for Major Defaults and 5% for Minor Defaults. In addition, the Note provides that upon occurrence of an Event of Default, the interest rate will accrue on the outstanding balance at the rate equal to the lesser of 22% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

 

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, while the Note is outstanding, the Company agreed to keep adequate public information available and maintain its Nasdaq listing. The Company is required to reserve 11,500,000 shares of common stock from its authorized and unissued common stock to provide for all issuances of common stock under the Note (the “Share Reserve”), and will add additional shares of common stock to the Share Reserve in increments of 1,000,000 shares as and when requested by the Investor if as of the date of any such request the number of shares being held in the Share Reserve is less than three (3) times the number of shares of common stock obtained by dividing the outstanding balance as of the date of the request by the Redemption Conversion Price. The Company is required to further require the Transfer Agent to hold the shares of common stock reserved pursuant to the Share Reserve exclusively for the benefit of the Investor and to issue such shares to the Investor promptly upon the Investor’s delivery of a redemption notice under the Note. The Company is required to also request the Transfer Agent to issue shares of common stock pursuant to the Note to the Investor out of its authorized and unissued shares, and not the Share Reserve, to the extent shares of common stock have been authorized, but not issued, and are not included in the Share Reserve.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We did not declare or pay any dividend in 2022 and do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future. Although we intend to retain our earnings, if any, to finance the growth of our business, our board of directors will have the discretion to declare and pay dividends in the future, subject to applicable PRC regulations and restrictions as described below. Payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, and other factors, which our board of directors may deem relevant.

 

In addition, due to various restrictions under PRC laws on the distribution of dividends by wholly foreign-owned enterprise, we may not be able to pay dividends to our stockholders. The Foreign Investment Law, promulgated on March 15, 2019 and became effective on January 1, 2020, and the Implementation Regulations for the Foreign Investment Law, promulgated on December 26, 2019 and became effective on January 1, 2020, are the key regulations governing distribution of dividends of foreign-invested enterprises. According to the applicable regulations, a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in China, or a WFOE, may pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits, if any, determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. In addition, a WFOE is required to allocate at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits each year, if any, to statutory reserve funds unless its reserves have reached 50% of the registered capital of the enterprises. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. The proportional ratio for withdrawal of rewards and welfare funds for employees will be determined at the discretion of the WFOE. Profits of a WFOE will not be distributed before the losses thereof before the previous accounting years have been made up. Any undistributed profit for the previous accounting years may be distributed together with the distributable profit for the current accounting year. If we or our subsidiaries and affiliates are unable to receive all of the revenues from our operations through the current contractual arrangements, we may be unable to pay dividends on our common stock.

 

S-12

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have not entered into any underwriting agreement, arrangement or understanding for the sale of the Note being offered.

We negotiated the price for the securities offered in this offering with the Investor. The factors considered in determining the price included the recent market price of our shares, the general condition of the securities market at the time of this offering, the history of, and the prospects, for the industry in which we compete, our past and present operations, and our prospects for future revenues.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LAW VIOLATIONS

 

Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company has broad powers to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company’s Bylaws provide that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Bylaws require the Company to advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against an undertaking by the directors and officers to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that the directors and officers are not entitled to indemnification. The Bylaws further provide that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other right such persons may have or acquire under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The Company believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least negligence and gross negligence.

 

S-14

 

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions which states that the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same may be amended and supplemented, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have power to indemnify under said section from and against any and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by said section. The Company shall advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted by said section. Such right to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholder or disinterested directors or otherwise. 

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Overview

 

TD Holdings, Inc., (formerly known as Bat Group, Inc.) has become a used luxurious car leasing business as well as a commodities trading business operating in China since the disposition of its direct loans, loan guarantees and financial leasing services to small-to-medium sized businesses, farmers and individuals (the “Micro-lending Business”) in July 2018. Our current operations consist of leasing of luxurious pre-owned automobiles and operation of a non-ferrous metal commodities trading business.

 

The Company operates a luxurious car business that is conducted under the brand name “Batcar” through the Company’s VIE entity, Beijing Tianxing Kunlun Technology Co. Ltd (“Beijing Tianxing”), from its headquarters in Beijing. The Company also conducts a commodities trading business via its other VIE entity, Shenzhen Huamucheng Trading Co., Ltd. (“Huamucheng”).

 

Our Business

 

Used Luxurious Car Leasing Business

Currently the Company has eleven used luxurious cars with net book value of approximately US$ 2.43 million. To determine the model of vehicles to be purchased, we collect data related to customers’ demands and preferences through sales and online promotions. Our professional procurement personnel will then compare models of vehicles offered by different sellers. The decision to purchase a specific vehicle is based on a number of considerations including time of delivery, vehicle condition, vehicle safety feature, mileage, repairing and maintenance history, accidents history, market scarcity, and etc. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company earned income from operating lease of $1,830,148 and $488,062, respectively.

 

Commodities Trading Business

 

In order to diversify the Company’s business, on November 22, 2019, the Company’s indirectly   wholly owned subsidiary Hao Limo Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“Hao Limo”) entered into a series of agreements (the “Huamucheng VIE Agreements”) with Huamucheng and the shareholders of Huamucheng who collectively hold 100% of Huamucheng.

 

Through Huamucheng’s VIE structure, the Company launched its commodities trading operations. Huamucheng focuses on trading of non-ferrous metal commodities such as aluminum, copper, silver, and gold, and is striving to become an emerging platform in the non-ferrous metal e-commerce industry by offering all participants in the non-ferrous metal e-commerce industry a seamless, one-stop transaction experience. In connection with the commodity trading business, the Company primarily generates revenues from sales of commodities products and providing of supply chain management services such as loan recommendation and distribution services to customers in the PRC.

 

In December 2019, the Company generated revenue of $100,427 from commodities trading business and $562,586 from supply chain management services (including loan recommendation service fee of $323,623 and distribution service fee of $238,963), respectively.

  

Our Services

 

Used Luxurious Car Leasing Business

 

Renting Service  

 

We rent our luxurious cars to both our individual and corporate customers from our stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Chengdu. The rental price varies based on the rental term which ranges from one day to one month; the longer the rental term, the cheaper the price. The daily rental price is the highest, while the average weekly rental prices and average monthly rental prices are 10% to 20% and 20% to 30% cheaper, respectively, than that of the daily rental price.

 

Customers can confirm the time and place for vehicle delivery and rental term via SMS messages, phone calls or face-to-face communication with our sales personnel, as well as through our website and WeChat Applet. Our sales personnel will then deliver the vehicle to the customers as designated. The customer, before signing the car rental agreement, will inspect the vehicle in person and pay the rent along with the deposit with their credit card, Wechat Pay or Alipay. The customer is responsible for the gas, toll, and any other expenses related to the use of the vehicle during the rental term.

Corporate customers are required to provide their company’s business license, enterprise organization code certificate, and the legal person’s power of attorney and driver’s license.

5)Rent and Deposit Prepayment: The prepayment of rental fees and the deposit must be paid by the customer prior to renting the vehicle. The amount of the prepayment is determined by the rental duration and price of the vehicle.

 

6)Delivery Inspection: When the vehicle is delivered to the customer, the sales personnel will hand over the vehicle key, instructions, and other accessories such as data cables and mobile phone holders. The sales personnel will then guide the customer through a thorough vehicle inspection including the exterior, steering system, braking system, lubrication system, coolant, tires, and lights.

Customers will also be reminded to keep their communications open at all times during the rental period.

 

Car Pooling Service with Peer Companies

 

In addition to directly renting to customers, we also rent to other auto rental companies in a similar fashion but at a discounted rate. We and our peer companies have formed a vehicle pool consisting of all available pre-owned vehicles. In the scenario where a customer places a rental order with a company which does not currently have the requested vehicle in stock, another company in the vehicle pool possessing the requested vehicle will rent it to the company at a discounted price upon its request.

 

Commodities Trading Business

 

Business Model

 

We source bulk commodity from non-ferrous metal mines or its designated distributors and sell to manufactures who need these metals in large quantities. We work with many upstream suppliers in the sourcing of commodities. Suppliers we source from include various metal and mineral suppliers such as Kunsteel Group, Baosteel Group, Aluminum Corporate of China Limited, Yunnan Benyuan, Yunnan Tin, and Shanghai Copper. Potential customers include large infrastructure companies such as China National Electricity, Datang Power, China Aluminum Foshan International Trade, Tooke Investment (China), CSSC International Trade Co., Ltd., Shenye Group, and Keliyuan.

 

The Company has entered into a Warehousing Agreement with Foshan Nanchu to designate it as the Company’s warehouse. The Company’s criteria for choosing its warehouse is based primarily on the convenience of its location for transportation, which is highly conducive to the transportation of non-ferrous metal commodities, and secondarily based on its storage price.

 

3

 

 

Our inventory management procedure involves (1) an Application for Storage, (2) Storage of the Commodities, (3) an Application for Shipment, and (4) Shipment of Commodities, which are further described below.

 

1)Application for Storage

 

The upstream suppliers apply for storage with the Company’s leased warehouse center upon the sale of commodities to the Company. The application requires information including the commodities’ production company, brand, specifications, weight, quantity, and storage time.

 

2)Storage of the Commodities

 

Upon the arrival of the commodities at the warehouse, the warehouse checks and accepts the commodities according to the delivery instructions provided by the transportation company, ensuring that the delivery instructions, storage application, and the delivered commodities are all consistent.

 

Upon acceptance, the warehouse scans and places the commodities into sorted storage. The warehouse then issues a certificate of inspection, which includes information such as the brand name, specifications, weight, quantity, packaging information, arrival time, storage location and other information of the received commodities. The certificate of inspection is then signed and stamped by the delivery driver, the warehouse manager, and the warehouse. Four copies of the certificate of inspection are made, two of which are provided to the transportation company and the supplier.

 

3)Application for Shipment

 

The downstream customers apply for shipment with the warehouse upon the purchase of Commodities from the Company. The application requires information including the production company, brand, specifications, weight, quantity, delivery time, and storage location number.

 

The downstream customers also fill in a delivery entrustment letter, including the name of the delivery company, the name of the delivery person, his or her ID number, the delivery vehicle’s license plate number, the time, quantity, and information regarding the warehouse for delivery.

 

4)Shipment of Commodities

 

The warehouse prepares the commodities in advance according to the pick-up time and the Application for Shipment.

 

Upon arrival of the pick-up driver at the warehouse, the Company reviews the identity of the pick-up driver according to the delivery entrustment letter.

 

Upon completing the loading of the commodities for shipment, the warehouse issues a certificate of sale, which includes information such as the brand name, specifications, weight, quantity, delivery time, and storage location number. The pick-up driver, warehouse manager, and the warehouse signs and stamps the certificate of sale. Four copies of the certificate of sale are made, two of which are provided to the transportation company and the customer.

 

Distribution Services

 

We offer a distribution service to bulk suppliers of precious metals by acting as a sales intermediary, procuring small to medium-sized buyers through our own professional sales team and channels and distributing to them the bulk precious metals of the suppliers. Upon the execution of a purchase order from our sourced buyers, we charge the suppliers with a commission fee ranging from 1% to 1.5% of the distribution order, depending on the size of the order. In December 2019, the Company generated revenue of $238,963 from its distribution services.

 

Loan Recommendation and Referral Services

 

We offer to our downstream customers who require additional funding for the purchase of precious metals recommendations and referrals to third-party licensed financial institutions and small credit providers while assuming no credit risks ourselves. When our recommendation and referrals are accepted and our downstream customers proceed with the loan, we charge our downstream customers between 2% to 5% of the loan principal as our referral fee. In December 2019, the Company generated revenue of $323,623 from its loan recommendation services

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any these methods. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. The prospectus supplement will include the following information:

 

  the terms of the offering;
     
  the names of any underwriters or agents;
     
  the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
     
  the purchase price of the securities;
     
  any over-allotment 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 initial public offering price;
     
  any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
     
  any commissions paid to agents; and
     
  any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

  

Sale through Underwriters or Dealers

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. 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. 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. The underwriters may change from time to time any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

 

7

 

 

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.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers.

   

Direct Sales and Sales through Agents

 

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. 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.

 

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

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.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. 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. 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.

The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended certificate of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed previously with the SEC, and applicable provisions of Delaware law.

 

We, directly or through agents, dealers or underwriters designated from time to time, may offer, issue and sell, together or separately, up to $100,000,000 in the aggregate of:

 

  common stock;

The preferred stock may also be exchangeable for and/or convertible into shares of common stock, another series of preferred stock or other securities. The debt securities, the preferred stock, the common stock and the warrants are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “securities.” When a particular series of securities is offered, a supplement to this prospectus will be delivered with this prospectus, which will set forth the terms of the offering and sale of the offered securities.

 

Common Stock

 

As of July 23, 2020, there were 68,963,229 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held of record by approximately 276 stockholders. The outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. The common stock has no cumulative voting rights, including with respect to the election of directors.

 

Subject to preferential rights with respect to any outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available therefore. Pursuant to Section 281 of Delaware General Corporation Law, in the event of our dissolution, the holders of common stock are entitled to the remaining assets after payment of all liabilities of the company.

 

Our common stock has no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights.

Preferred Stock

 

Our certificate of incorporation, as amended, empowers our board of directors, without action by our shareholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock from time to time in one or more series, which preferred stock may be offered by this prospectus and supplements thereto. As of the date of this prospectus, no shares of preferred stock were designated or issued and outstanding. Our board may fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of our authorized but undesignated preferred shares, including:

 

  dividend rights and preferences over dividends on our common stock or any series of preferred stock;
     
  the dividend rate (and whether dividends are cumulative);
     
  conversion rights, if any;
     
  voting rights;
     
  rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions, if any);
     
  redemption price and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of any preferred stock and the designation thereof of any of them; and
     
  to increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series but not below the number of shares then outstanding.

 

You should refer to the prospectus supplement relating to the series of preferred stock being offered for the specific terms of that series, including:

 

  title of the series and the number of shares in the series;
     
  the price at which the preferred stock will be offered;
     
  the dividend rate or rates or method of calculating the rates, the dates on which the dividends will be payable, whether or not dividends will be cumulative or noncumulative and, if cumulative, the dates from which dividends on the preferred stock being offered will cumulate;

 

  the voting rights, if any, of the holders of shares of the preferred stock being offered;
     
  the provisions for a sinking fund, if any, and the provisions for redemption, if applicable, of the preferred stock being offered, including any restrictions on the foregoing as a result of arrearage in the payment of dividends or sinking fund installments;
     
  the liquidation preference per share;
     
  the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock being offered will be convertible into our common stock, including the conversion price, or the manner of calculating the conversion price, and the conversion period;
     
  the terms and conditions, if applicable, upon which the preferred stock being offered will be exchangeable for debt securities, including the exchange price, or the manner of calculating the exchange price, and the exchange period;
     
  any listing of the preferred stock being offered on any securities exchange;
     
  a discussion of any material federal income tax considerations applicable to the preferred stock being offered;
     
  any preemptive rights;
     
  the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs;
     
  any limitations on the issuance of any class or series of preferred stock ranking senior or equal to the series of preferred stock being offered as to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or the winding up of our affairs; and
     
  any additional rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the series.

 

10

 

 

Upon issuance, the shares of preferred stock will be fully paid and nonassessable, which means that its holders will have paid their purchase price in full and we may not require them to pay additional funds.

 

Any preferred stock terms selected by our board of directors could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of our common stock or adversely affect the rights and power, including voting rights, of the holders of our common stock without any further vote or action by the stockholders. The rights of holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued by us in the future. The issuance of preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or make removal of management more difficult.

 

Debt Securities

 

As used in this prospectus, the term “debt securities” means the debentures, notes, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness that we may issue from time to time. The debt securities will either be senior debt securities, senior subordinated debt or subordinated debt securities. We may also issue convertible debt securities. Debt securities issued under an indenture (which we refer to herein as an Indenture) will be entered into between us and a trustee to be named therein. It is likely that convertible debt securities will not be issued under an Indenture.

 

The Indenture or forms of Indentures, if any, will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the Indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the Indentures (and any amendments or supplements we may enter into from time to time which are permitted under each Indenture) and the debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms.

 

General

 

Unless otherwise specified in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct secured or unsecured obligations of our company. The senior debt securities will rank equally with any of our other unsecured senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to any senior indebtedness.

  

We may issue debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Unless indicated in a prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of such series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional debt securities, together with all other outstanding debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of debt securities under the applicable Indenture and will be equal in ranking.

 

Should an indenture relate to unsecured indebtedness, in the event of a bankruptcy or other liquidation event involving a distribution of assets to satisfy our outstanding indebtedness or an event of default under a loan agreement relating to secured indebtedness of our company or its subsidiaries, the holders of such secured indebtedness, if any, would be entitled to receive payment of principal and interest prior to payments on the senior indebtedness issued under an Indenture.

The applicable prospectus supplement will contain information as to how we will determine the amount of principal or interest payable on any date, as well as the currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which the amount payable on that date relates and certain additional tax considerations.

Warrants

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities or any combination thereof. Warrants may be issued independently or together with our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities and may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. To the extent warrants that we issue are to be publicly-traded, each series of such warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with such warrants. The warrant agent will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

 

We will file as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC, forms of the warrant and warrant agreement, if any. The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement, if any. These terms may include the following:

 

  the title of the warrants;
     
  the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
     
  the designation, amount and terms of the securities or other rights for which the warrants are exercisable;
     
  the designation and terms of the other securities, if any, with which the warrants are to be issued and the number of warrants issued with each other security;
     
  the aggregate number of warrants;
     
  any provisions for adjustment of the number or amount of securities receivable upon exercise of the warrants or the exercise price of the warrants;
     
  the price or prices at which the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
     
  if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the securities or other rights purchasable upon exercise of the warrants will be separately transferable;
     
  a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to the exercise of the warrants;
     
  the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence, and the date on which the right will expire;
     
  the maximum or minimum number of warrants that may be exercised at any time;
     
  information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; and
     
  any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the warrants.

 

Exercise of Warrants. Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase the amount of securities or other rights, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, if applicable, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised in the manner described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent, if any, or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the securities or other rights that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

 

14

 

 

Rights

 

We may issue rights to purchase our securities. The rights may or may not be transferable by the persons purchasing or receiving the rights. In connection with any rights offering, we may enter into a standby underwriting or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which such underwriters or other persons would purchase any offered securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agent agreement to be entered into between us and one or more banks, trust companies or other financial institutions, as rights agent, that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

 

The prospectus supplement relating to any rights that we offer will include specific terms relating to the offering, including, among other matters:

 

  the date of determining the security holders entitled to the rights distribution;
     
  the aggregate number of rights issued and the aggregate amount of securities purchasable upon exercise of the rights;
     
  the exercise price;
     
  the conditions to completion of the rights offering;
     
  the date on which the right to exercise the rights will commence and the date on which the rights will expire; and

Each right would entitle the holder of the rights to purchase for cash the principal amount of securities at the exercise price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will become void.

 

If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed securities directly to persons other than our security holders, to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby arrangements, as described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we may issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent, if any, may be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent, if any, in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units. Specific unit agreements, if any, will contain additional important terms and provisions. We will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from a current report that we file with the SEC, the form of unit and the form of each unit agreement, if any, relating to units offered under this prospectus.
