of
Common Stock
On September 30, 2009 we completed an exchange offer pursuant to which holders of 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2009 exchanged those Notes for modified 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2014. In this prospectus we refer to these modified 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2014 as “Modified Notes due 2014” or “2014 Notes.” The Modified Notes due 2014 are convertible by holders into shares of Common Stock at $0.35 per share after September 30, 2009. At this conversion price, the total value of the Common Stock underlying the Modified Notes due 2014 is $4,049,859. We can require the conversion of these Modified Notes due 2014 to shares of Common Stock at any time after our shares of Common Stock trade at or above $0.70 per share for fifteen consecutive trading days. In connection with the exchange offer, we agreed to use our best efforts to register the shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of the Modified Notes due 2014. We refer to these shares of Common Stock as the “Common Stock” or the “securities.”
The selling securityholders named in this prospectus may sell, from time to time after September 30, 2009, 11,571,023 shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of our Modified Notes due 2014.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of any of these securities by the selling securityholders. This prospectus contains general information about these securities.
Our Common Stock is traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board (OTC-BB) market under the symbol “HMGN.” On May 23, 2012, the per share closing price of our Common Stock on the OTC-BB was $0.04.
Investing in our securities involves risks that are described in the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

MODIFIED NOTES DUE 2014
We issued a total of $6,315,000 in units during April and May, 2000. These units consisted of $6,315,000 principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2005, 1,184,072 shares of our common stock and 2,526,000 warrants to purchase 2,526,000 shares of our common stock. The warrants were exercisable at $2.75 per share until April 30, 2002 and the notes were convertible at a $2.50 per share price. We issued the units in a private placement. The warrants expired and were never exercised.
Beginning in September 2004 the Company conducted an exchange offer in which it exchanged 5,100,000 shares of Common Stock and $4,050,000 in principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2009 for its then outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes
due 2005, the aggregate principal amount of which was then $6,090,000. These new notes were convertible at a $0.75 per share price.
In September 2009 we exchanged $4,049,858.01 principal amount of 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”) for the Notes due 2009.
The 2014 Notes mature on September 30, 2014, with no principal payments required until maturity. The 2014 Notes provide for quarterly interest payments at the annual rate of 8%.
Commencing after September 30, 2009, the 2014 Notes are convertible into Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.35 per share. We may require that holders convert the 2014 Notes into Common Stock at any time after the Common Stock has traded at or above $0.70 for fifteen consecutive trading days. In addition, we may prepay the 2014 Notes at any time at the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In the event of a split, subdivision or combination or similar transaction in our Common Stock, or the issuance of a dividend consisting of our Common Stock, the conversion price will be proportionally increased or decreased, as the case may be. Additionally, in the event of any reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all our assets or similar transaction, the holder of a 2014 Note will be entitled to receive, upon conversion, the kind and number of shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such transaction as if the holder were the owner of the Common Stock issuable under the 2014 Note immediately prior to any such event at the conversion price in effect on the date of the closing of such transaction.
The 2014 Notes are secured by a first lien on all real, tangible and intangible property. This security interest is subordinated to: (i) a credit facility that is equal to or less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), (ii) any secured financing that is greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), provided that (A) we provide the holder twenty (20) business days’ written notice of such secured financing, and (B) all of the funds raised in connection with such secured financing are used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest owed on the 2014 Notes, (iii) real estate financing that we may incur for the purchase of a corporate facility provided that the annual mortgage payments are less than the rent expense that we pay in the year of such purchase for leased facilities, and (iv) secured financing not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) at any one time for the purpose of financing an acquisition by us of the business of another person.
The Company has the intention and a reasonable basis to believe that it will have the financial ability to make all payments on the 2014 Notes. The Company is not aware of any existing short position of a selling securityholder.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered under this prospectus involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below, including the risks set forth under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and all other information contained in this prospectus, as well as the other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus.
Risks Related to the Securities
Our Common Stock Is Thinly Traded.
Our Common Stock trades on the over-the-counter bulletin board (OTC-BB) market and is thinly traded compared to larger, more widely known companies. Thinly traded securities can be more volatile than securities trading in a more active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for the Common Stock will exist after this offering.
Our Stock Lacks Liquidity.
We have 15,500,281 shares of Common Stock outstanding and obligations to issue an additional 2,932,208 shares upon the exercise of outstanding options and 11,571,023 shares which we must issue upon the conversion of the Modified Notes due 2014. As of April 2, 2012 the previous 30 day average daily volume for our Common Stock equals only approximately 500 shares per day. This lack of liquidity in our Common Stock would increase the risk associated with investing in our Common Stock. The sale of any significant portion of these shares could have a depressing effect upon the trading market for our Common Stock.
We have not Paid, and Do Not Expect to Pay, Dividends on our Common Stock.
We have not paid dividends on our Common Stock since our inception and do not intend to pay any dividends to our Common Stock holders in the foreseeable future. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business.
Our Stock Price is Highly Volatile, and investing in our Common Stock Involves a High Degree of Risk.
The market price of our Common Stock, like the securities of many other medical diagnostic companies, fluctuates over a wide range, and you can expect it to continue to be highly volatile in the future. Since October 1, 2001, our stock has traded at a high of $1.19 and a low of $.03. The following factors may affect the market price of our Common Stock:
|
|
·
|
fluctuation in our operating results;
|
|
|
·
|
new product announcements made by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
·
|
our ability to develop, introduce and market new products on a timely basis;
|
|
|
·
|
our manufacturing capacities and our ability to increase the scale of these capacities;
|
|
|
·
|
the amount we spend on research and development;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in our strategy;
|
|
|
·
|
consolidation within our industry;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in the regulatory environment;
|
|
|
·
|
public concern as to the safety of our devices or similar devices developed by our competitors; and
|
|
|
·
|
general market conditions.
|
Because our stock price is so volatile, investing in our Common Stock is highly risky. A potential investor must be able to withstand the loss of his entire investment in our Common Stock.
Directors Stock Purchase Plan and Company ESOP Plan
The Company has a Directors 10b(5)-1 Stock Purchase Plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan that purchase on a quarterly basis approximately $1,650 of the Company’s Common Stock on the open market. This quarterly contribution may change over time and affect the demand for the Company’s Common Stock.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We are Not Profitable.
We continue to incur net losses and operating losses in recent fiscal years. There can be no assurance that we will experience profitability in the future. Our ability to be consistently profitable will depend, in part, on our ability to execute our business plan. We make no assurances that we will be able to successfully execute our business plan which includes:
|
·
|
continuing to develop innovative products;
|
|
·
|
increasing our sales and marketing activities;
|
|
·
|
increasing our manufacturing activities and efficiencies; and
|
|
·
|
effectively competing against current and future competitors.
|
We Have Major Suppliers and the Loss of any Such Major Supplier Would Significantly Affect Our Revenues.
We purchase a relatively large amount of products from only a few significant suppliers. If we were to lose certain supplier contracts, we may not be able to replace them. Our financial position, results of operations, our ability to pay debt and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders may be adversely affected by financial difficulties experienced by major suppliers.
We are Subject to Risks and Uncertainties that May Cause Our Actual Results, Performance or Achievement to Differ Materially from our Historical Results.
Our periodic operating results have varied in the past. In the future, we expect our periodic operating results to vary significantly depending on, but not limited to, a number of factors, including, in addition to those factors discussed elsewhere in this section:
|
·
|
new product announcements made by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
changes in our pricing structures or the pricing structures of our competitors;
|
|
·
|
our ability to develop, introduce and market new products on a timely basis;
|
|
·
|
our manufacturing capacities and our ability to increase the scale of these capacities;
|
|
·
|
the amount we spend on research and development;
|
|
·
|
changes in our strategy;
|
|
·
|
consolidation within our industry; and
|
|
·
|
changes in the regulatory environment.
|
We May Need Additional Funding in the Future for Our Operations, and These Funds May Not be Available to Us.
To the extent that our existing resources and anticipated revenue from the sale of our products are insufficient to fund our activities, we will have to raise additional funds from the issuance of public or private securities. We may not be able to raise additional funding, or if we are able to, we may not be able to raise funding on acceptable terms. We may dilute then-existing stockholders if we raise additional funds by issuing new equity securities. Alternately, we may have to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies, products and/or sales territories if we are required to obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative partners. If we are unable to raise needed funds, we may be required to curtail our operations significantly. This would materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We Rely on Trade Secrets and Confidentiality Agreements to Protect our Technology.
While we own a number of patents, we protect our technology primarily as trade secrets rather than relying on patents, either because patent protection is not possible or, in our opinion, would be less effective than maintaining secrecy. In addition; we rely upon confidentiality agreements with our employees. To the extent that we rely on confidentiality agreements and trade secret protection, there can be no assurance that our efforts to maintain secrecy will be successful or that third parties will not be able to develop the technology independently.
Our Internal Research and Development Resources are Limited.
Our research and development expenses are reported in filings we make with the SEC. In addition, we anticipate outsourcing some research and development activities, and we may increase research and development headcount were we to determine it to be appropriate.
We Rely on Distributors to Sell Our Products and Have Sole Distributorship Agreements in a Number of Countries.
We distribute many of our products primarily through distributors. As a result, we are dependent upon these distributors to sell our products and to assist us in promoting and creating a demand for our products. We have a number of distributors in and outside of the United States who distribute our products. We believe that our future growth depends on the efforts of these distributors. If one of our distributors were to stop selling our products we may not be able to replace such lost revenue. Furthermore, many of our distributors may carry our competitors’ products, and may promote our competitors’ products over our own products.
We Have Substantial Sales in Brazil and our Revenues are Subject to the Currency Fluctuations, Political and Economic Risks Associated with doing Business in Brazil.
A significant amount of our sales are through our Brazilian subsidiary and are subject to the currency fluctuations, political and economic risks associated with doing business in Brazil and over which we have no control. Our growth plans include continuing to grow revenues in Brazil going forward.
Compliance with Governmental Regulations Impose Significant Costs on our Business and New Governmental Regulations May Impose Additional Costs on our Business.
Federal, State and Local Regulations
In the United States we are subject to numerous federal, state and local regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of health care products and diagnostic devices. These regulations are subject to change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such changes would have on our business.
Our production and marketing activities are subject to regulation by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), under the authority of the Federal Food Drug, and Cosmetic Act. These regulations require that we must formally notify the FDA of our intentions to market in vitro diagnostic devices through a regulatory submissions process, either the 510(k) process or the Premarket Approval (PMA) process. When a 510(k) process is used, we are required to demonstrate that the product is “substantially equivalent” to another product in commercial distribution. We cannot proceed with sales of our diagnostic products in the United States until we receive clearance from the FDA in the form of a substantial equivalency letter. Currently, the majority of products that are reviewed by the 510(k) process are cleared within 90 days. In certain cases, specifically for Class III devices, we must follow the PMA process that involves a lengthier and more burdensome process.
We are required to register with the FDA as a device manufacturer and to disclose our devices. Accordingly, we are subject to inspection on a routine basis for compliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulations. These regulations require that we manufacture our products and maintain our documents in a prescribed manner with respect to design, manufacturing, testing, process control, and distribution activities. In addition, we are required to comply with various FDA requirements for labeling, pursuant to the applicable regulations. Finally, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for unapproved applications. A failure to satisfy any of these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Federal and state regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of health care products and diagnostic devices may change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such changes would have on our business.
International Regulations
Our products are distributed internationally and we are subject to numerous regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of health care products and diagnostic devices in territories outside the United States. These regulations are subject to change. We cannot predict what impact, if any, such changes would have on our business.
The regulatory controls being imposed upon us with respect to the international distribution and marketing of in vitro diagnostic devices are increasing. Specifically, member nations of the European Community are developing a standardized quality system called EN 29000 that is anticipated to be effective throughout the European Community once enacted. Companies will be allowed a grace period to conform to the directive. We will be required to conform to the EN 29000 regulations for any product sold in the European Community. The European Community has adopted the IVD Directive. All in vitro devices must bear the CE Marking of Conformity by December 2003. We have registered most of our products and
continue to work to register several other products. In addition, other countries are expected to come under the IVD directive and we will continue to register products where necessary. Hemagen received the CE Marking for the Analyst instrument in December 1999.
In addition, as we continue to sell in foreign markets, we may have to obtain additional governmental clearances in those markets. We may not be able to obtain regulatory clearances for our products in foreign markets, and the failure to obtain these regulatory clearances will materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We Depend on Key Members of our Management and Scientific Staff, and We Must Retain and Recruit Qualified Individuals if We are to be Competitive.
We are highly dependent on the principal members of our management and scientific staff. The loss of any of these key personnel, including in particular William P. Hales, our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, and certain scientific personnel might impede the achievement of our business objectives. We are not aware of any member of our senior or executive management team who intends to retire within one year of the date of this filing. We do not maintain key man life insurance on any of our active employees.
We May be Subject to Product Liability Claims.
The research, development, manufacturing, testing, marketing and sale of clinical diagnostic products entail an inherent risk of allegations of product liability, and there can be no assurance that product liability claims will not be asserted against us. We may incur product liability due to product failure or improper use of products by the user. Inaccurate detection may result in the failure to administer necessary therapeutic drugs or administration of unnecessary and potentially toxic drugs. Even with proper use of a product, there may be specific instances in which the results obtained from our test kits could lead a physician to predict the inappropriate therapy for a particular patient. We maintain product liability insurance in the amount of up to $2,000,000 per incident and in the aggregate which, based on our experience and industry practice, we believe to be adequate for our present operations. No assurance can be given that our insurance coverage is sufficient to fully insure against claims, which may be made against us.
Our Activities Involve the Use of Hazardous Materials, and We may be Held Liable for any Accidental Injury from these Hazardous Materials.
Our research and development activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials. Although we believe that our safety procedures for handling and disposing of our hazardous materials comply with the standards prescribed by federal, state and local laws and regulations, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials cannot be completely eliminated. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages that result and significant and unexpected costs including costs relating to liabilities and clean-up, costs from increased insurance premiums or liability to obtain adequate insurance at a reasonable price and costs from loss of operations during clean-up.
Our Industry is Highly Competitive.
The clinical diagnostics industry is highly competitive. There are many companies, both public and private, engaged in diagnostics-related research and development, including a number of well-known pharmaceutical and chemical companies. Competition is based primarily on product reliability, customer service and price. Many of these companies have substantially greater capital resources and have marketing and business organizations of substantially greater size than us. Many companies have been working on immunodiagnostic reagents and products, including some products believed to be similar to
those currently marketed or under development by us, for a longer period of time than us. We expect competition within this industry to intensify.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by that Act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “estimates,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “expects,” “intend,” “believes,” “should,” and similar expressions and the negative versions thereof, and by the context in which they are used. Such statements are based only upon our current expectations. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date made. Reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which they are made.
Statements concerning the establishments of reserves and adjustments for dated and obsolete products, expected financial performance, on-going business strategies and possible future action which Hemagen intends to pursue to achieve strategic objectives constitute forward-looking information. All forward-looking statements, including those relating to the sufficiency of such charges, implementation of strategies and the achievement of financial performance are each subject to numerous conditions, uncertainties, risks and other factors. Factors which could cause actual performance to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, management's analysis of Hemagen's assets, liabilities and operations, the failure to sell date sensitive inventory prior to its expiration, competition reliance on significant suppliers, new product development by competitors which could render particular products obsolete, the inability to develop or acquire and successfully introduce new products or improvements of existing products, recessionary pressures on the economy and the markets in which our customers operate, costs and difficulties in complying with the laws and regulations administered by the FDA and other governmental bodies, changes in the relative strength of the U.S. Dollar and Brazilian Real, unfavorable political or economical developments in Brazilian operations and the ability to assimilate successfully product acquisitions.
HEMAGEN DIAGNOSTICS, INC.
Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc., a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures and markets approximately 68 FDA cleared proprietary medical diagnostic test kits, was founded in 1985 and became a public company in 1993.

®
product line in South America through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hemagen Diagnosticos Comercio, Importacao Exportacao, Ltd. (HDC), a Brazilian limited liability company.
In September 1998, the Company acquired the ANALYST
®
BENCHTOP CLINICAL CHEMISTRY SYSTEM, which was originally designed by Dupont, from Dade Behring, Inc. The Analyst
®
is a proprietary bench top clinical chemistry instrument and reagent system. The Analyst
®
instrument is used to test general chemistry profiles for both the human and veterinary markets using a proprietary consumable rotor that is manufactured by Hemagen at its Columbia, Maryland facility. The Analyst
®

®
is approximately 90% veterinary practices and 10% physician office laboratory practices.
In 1995, Hemagen completed the acquisition of a comprehensive line of diagnostic test kits utilizing immunofluorescence technology (“IFA products”) from Schiaparelli Biosystems, Inc. The IFA products and Hemagen’s comprehensive line of proprietary diagnostic test kits based on enzyme-linked immunosorbence assay technologies (“ELISA” or “EIA”) and hemagglutination technology (“HA”) form the Virgo
®
product line. These products are used to test for autoimmune and infectious diseases and are manufactured for manual use or for use on automated instrument platforms.

DIVIDENDS
We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS
In a transaction exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, on September 30, 2009, we completed an exchange offer effective September 30, 2009 pursuant to which holders of 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2009 exchanged those Notes for Modified 8% Notes due 2014. We agreed to use our best efforts to register the Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of the Modified Notes due 2014.
The Modified Notes due 2014 are convertible by holders into shares of Common Stock at $0.35 per share after September 30, 2009. We can require the conversion of these Modified Notes due 2014 to shares of Common Stock at any time after our shares of Common Stock trade at or above $0.70 per share for fifteen consecutive trading days.
Selling securityholders, including their transferees, pledges or donees or their successors, may from time to time offer and sell any or all of such securities. The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the securities.
The table below sets forth the name of each selling securityholder and shares of common stock that may be offered by each selling securityholder under this prospectus. Information about the selling securityholders may change from time to time. Any changed information will be set forth in prospectus supplements or post-effective amendments, as required.
Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of the securities, we cannot estimate the amount of securities that may be held by the selling securityholders upon the completion of any sales. Therefore we have assumed for purposes of the following table that they sell all shares offered. For information on the procedure for sales by selling securityholders, read the disclosure under the heading “Plan of Distribution” below.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The securities are being registered to permit the sale of such securities by the holders from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from their sales. We will bear the fees and expenses incurred in connection with our obligation to register the securities. These fees and expenses include registration and filing fees, printing and duplications expenses, fees and disbursements of our counsel and fees and disbursements of the registrar and transfer agent for the securities. However, the selling securityholders will pay all underwriting discounts, commissions and agent’s commissions, if any. The selling securityholders may offer and sell the Common Stock that may be acquired upon conversion of the Modified Notes due 2014 from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
Such sales may be effected by a variety of methods, including the following:
|
|
·
|
in market transactions;
|
|
|
·
|
in privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
·
|
through the writing of options;
|
|
|
·
|
in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
·
|
if we agree to it prior to the distribution, through one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best-efforts basis;
|
|
|
·
|
through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals;
|
|
|
·
|
directly to one or more purchasers;
|
|
|
·
|
in any combination of the above or by any other legally available means.
|
In connection with the sales of the securities, the selling securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers (which may in turn engage in short sales of the offered securities), short and deliver the securities to close out such short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such securities.
If a material arrangement with any underwriter, broker, dealer or other agent is entered into for the sale of any securities through a secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, or if other material changes are made in the plan of distribution of the securities, we will file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if necessary, under the Securities Act disclosing the material terms and conditions of such arrangement.
The underwriter or underwriters with respect to an underwritten offering of securities and the other material terms and conditions of the underwriting will be set forth in a prospectus supplement relating to such offering and, if an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter or underwriters will be set forth on the cover of the prospectus supplement. In connection with the sale of the securities, underwriters will receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent. Underwriters may sell to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.
To our knowledge, there are no plans, arrangements or understandings between any selling securityholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the securities by the selling securityholders. Selling securityholders may decide to sell only a portion of securities offered by them pursuant to this prospectus or may decide not to sell any of their securities under this prospectus. In addition, any selling securityholder may transfer, devise or give the securities by other means not described in this prospects. Any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
The selling securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on the sale of the securities by the selling securityholders and any commissions received by any such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act. If the selling securityholders were deemed to be underwriters, the selling securityholders may be subject to statutory liabilities including, but not limited to, those of Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The selling securityholders and any other person participating in the distribution will be subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling securityholders and any other relevant person. Furthermore, Regulation M
may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed. All of the above may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities.
Under the securities laws of certain states, the securities may be sold in those states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities may not be sold unless the securities have been registered or qualified for sale in the state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with. Each selling securityholder should consult its counsel regarding the application of the states’ Blue Sky or securities laws in connection with sales of the securities.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling securityholders against certain civil liabilities, including certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and the selling securityholders will be entitled to contribution from us in connection with those liabilities. The selling securityholders will indemnify us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and will be entitled to contribution from the selling securityholders in connection with those liabilities.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Keating Muething & Klekamp PLL, Cincinnati, Ohio.
