We are offering up to1,562,500 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 781,250 shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of these warrants) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated August 27, 2014. Each share of common stock we sell in this offering will be accompanied by a warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price for two warrants of $1.70 per share. Each share of common stock and accompanying warrant will be sold at a negotiated price of $1.60. The shares of common stock and warrants will be issued separately but can only be purchased together in this offering. We are also registering warrants to purchase up to 39,062 shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of these warrants) issuable to the placement agent in the offering under the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part and are issuing these warrants contemporaneously with this offering.

 

Our common stock is traded on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “ONP”. We do not intend to apply for any listing of the warrants on any securities exchange and we do not expect that the warrants will be quoted on that NYSE MKT. On August 25, 2014, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE MKT was $2.02 per share.

 

   Per Share (1)   Total 
Offering Price  $1.60   $2,500,000 
Placement Agent’s Fees (2)  $0.08   $125,000 
Offering Proceeds, Before Expenses, to us  $1.52   $2,375,000 

(1)Per share price represents the offering price for one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock.

  

(2)In addition, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in this offering and to pay to the placement agent a non-accountable expense allowance equal to $60,000 as described in the “Plan of Distribution” section herein.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC has agreed to act as our placement agent in this offering. The placement agent is not purchasing any of the securities offered by us, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use its best efforts to sell the securities offered. We have agreed to pay the placement agent a placement fee equal to 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering or up to $125,000, to issue to the placement agent warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in the offering and to pay the placement agent a non-accountable expense allowance equal to $60,000. We estimate total expenses of this offering, excluding the placement agent fees, will be approximately $150,000. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing in this offering, the actual public offering amount, placement agent fees, and proceeds to us, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the total maximum offering amounts set forth above. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-8 of this prospectus for more information on this offering and the placement agent arrangements.

 

Delivery of the shares of common stock and warrants is expected to be made on or about September 3, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.

SUMMARY

This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before deciding to invest in our securities.

Our Company

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of diversified paper products in North China. We engage mainly in the production and distribution of packaging and printing paper products such as corrugating medium paper, offset printing paper, digital photo paper and other paper and packaging related products.

Our Products

Corrugating medium paper. Corrugating medium paper is used in the manufacturing of corrugated cardboards. After the launch of our new 360,000 tonnes/year PM6, corrugating medium paper becomes a major product of the Company and comprises approximately 78% of our total paper production quantities and roughly 64% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013, and approximately 81% of our total paper production quantities and roughly 67% of our total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Raw materials used in the production of corrugating medium paper include recycled paper board (or Old Corrugated Cardboard, “OCC”) and certain supplementary agents.

Offset printing paper. Offset printing paper is used for offset printing. Our medium-grade offset printing paper comprises approximately 21% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 32% of our total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 and approximately 18% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 29% of our total sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The offset printing paper we manufacture is typically coated and brightened. Raw materials used in the production of offset printing paper may include recycled white scrap paper, wood pulp, fluorescent whitening agent, sizing agent and pulvis talc. We have not produced any high-grade offset printing paper and have not used wood pulp as a source of raw material since the fourth quarter of year 2009. We currently have two production lines, PM2 and PM3 for the production of offset printing paper.

Digital photo paper. Starting in March 2010, we began producing digital photo papers that are cast-coating, and water-proof. These digital photo papers are sold to printing companies and paper distributors, who eventually sell to advertising companies and printing companies which use photo-quality paper for multiple-color printing or local photo studios for production of special event printouts or personal home printing use. Our digital photo paper comprises approximately 1% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 4% of our total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013 and approximately 1% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 4% of our total sales revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014. We have two photo paper coating lines, PM4 and PM5, that produce digital photo paper products.

Our Customers and Market

We generally sell our products to companies making corrugated cardboards (in the case of our packaging products like corrugating medium paper) and to printing companies (in the case of our printing paper products). We also sell digital photo paper mainly to distributors and advertising/printing companies. Our primary market has been the region of North China, especially in the province of Hebei. We target corporate customers in the middle range of the marketplace, where products such as corrugating medium paper and mid-grade offset printing paper with reasonable quality and competitive pricing have potential for high volume growth.

Company Information

Our principal executive offices are located at Science Park, Juli Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, People’s Republic of China. Our telephone number is (86) 312-869-8215. Our website is located at http://www.orientpaperinc.com. Information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our website in not part of this prospectus.

Working Capital Deficiency; Going Concern

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had current assets of $32,215,826 and current liabilities of $40,949,564 (including amounts due to related parties for $2,406,262), resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $8,733,738; while as of December 31, 2013, the Company had current assets of $25,953,328 and current liabilities of $28,372,723 (including amounts due to related parties for $2,266,961), resulting in a working capital deficit of approximately $2,419,395. We are currently seeking to restructure the term of our liabilities by raising funds through long-term loans to pay off liabilities with shorter terms. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our obtaining the necessary financing or negotiating the terms of the existing short-term liabilities to meet our current and future liquidity needs. Although management believes it can secure financial resources to satisfy the Company's current liabilities and the capital expenditure needs in the next 12 months, there can be no guarantee that we can secure these financial resources. Therefore, there is a substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risks. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” in the applicable prospectus supplement and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014, together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances.

S-4
 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate the net proceeds to us from the sale of the securities offered under this prospectus, after deducting estimated placement agent fees and our other estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $2.17 million if we sell the maximum amount of common stock and warrants offered hereby. However, this is a best efforts offering with no minimum, and we may not sell all or any of the securities; as a result, we may receive significantly less in net proceeds, and the net proceeds received may not be sufficient to continue to operate our business. If a warrant holder elects to exercise the warrants issued in this offering, we may also receive proceeds from the exercise of the warrants. We cannot predict when or if the warrants will be exercised. It is possible that the warrants may expire and may never be exercised.

We expect to use the net proceeds from this offering (including any resulting from the exercise of warrants, if any) for working capital and general corporate purposes. Our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

Common Stock

The material terms and provisions of our common stock and each other class of our securities that qualifies or limits our common stock are described under the caption “Description of Common Stock” starting on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus. As of August 26, 2014, we had 18,753,900 shares of common stock outstanding.

Warrants

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the warrants and is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the warrants.

Form. The warrants will be issued as individual warrants to each of the investors. You should review a copy of the form of warrant, which is attached as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K being filed with the SEC in connection with this offering, for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the warrants.

Exercisability. The warrants are exercisable at any time on or after the date of their original issuance, and at any time up to the date that is five years after such initial date of issuance. The warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, at any time a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is effective and available for the issuance of such shares, or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act is available for the issuance of such shares, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. If a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, the holder may only exercise the warrant through a cashless exercise, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the warrant. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.

Exercise Price; Anti-Dilution. The initial exercise price per share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is $1.70 per share of common stock. Two warrants are exercisable for each share of common stock. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. There is currently no trading market for the warrants and a trading market is not expected to develop.

Exchange Listing. We do not plan to apply to list the warrants on the NYSE MKT, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the holders of the warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In the event of a fundamental transaction that is an all cash transaction, a “going private” transaction as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act, or a fundamental transaction involving a person or entity not traded on a national securities exchange, the Company or any successor entity will, at the warrant holder’s option, purchase the warrants by paying to the warrant holder an amount of cash equal to the value of the remaining unexercised portion of the warrants on the date of the consummation of such fundamental transaction, as calculated based on the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg, L.P., determined as of the day of consummation of the applicable fundamental transaction for pricing purposes as set forth in the warrants.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant.

Placement Agent Warrants. We are also registering warrants to purchase up to 39,062 shares of our common stock (and the shares of common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of these warrants) issuable to the placement agent in the offering under the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. The placement agent warrants shall have substantially the same terms as the warrants offered in this offering, except that the exercise price shall be $2.00 per share and the expiration date shall be five years from the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are offering up to 1,562,500 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 781,250 shares of our common stock. Each share of common stock we sell in this offering will be accompanied by a warrant to purchase one-half of one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.70 per share, two warrants being exercisable for each share of common stock. Each share of common stock and accompanying warrant will be sold at a negotiated price of $1.60. The shares of common stock and warrants will be issued separately but can only be purchased together in this offering. There is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing, and we may sell significantly fewer shares of common stock and warrants in the offering.

We have entered into a securities purchase agreement directly with the investors in this offering. The securities purchase agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants for transactions of this type. These representations, warranties and covenants were made solely for purposes of the securities purchase agreement and should not be relied upon by any of our investors who are not parties to the agreement, nor should any such investor rely upon any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition. Such investors are not third party beneficiaries under the securities purchase agreement.

We are offering the securities to the investors through H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), which has agreed to act as placement agent in connection with the offering pursuant to the terms of an engagement letter with us. The placement agent is not purchasing the securities offered by us, and is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will assist us in this offering on a “reasonable best efforts” basis. Subject to the terms and conditions of the engagement letter, the placement agent is using its reasonable best efforts to introduce us to selected institutional investors who will purchase the shares directly from us. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the shares from us nor is it required to arrange the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the shares, but has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for the sale of all of the securities.

Upon the closing of this offering, we have agreed to pay the placement agent a placement fee equal to 5% of the aggregate gross proceeds to us from the sale of the common stock in the offering. We have agreed to pay to Wainwright a non-accountable expense allowance equal to $60,000. We estimate that total expenses of this offering, excluding placement agent fees, will be approximately $150,000. The following table shows the per share and total fees we will pay to the placement agent, assuming the sale of all of the securities being offered hereby. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing, the actual total proceeds received by us and total offering commissions and warrants issuable to the placement agent, if any, are not presently determinable and may be substantially less than the maximum amount set forth in the table below.

Per share  $0.08 
Total  $125,000 

 

In addition to the cash fees set forth above, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock sold in this offering (excluding any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants). The placement agent warrants shall have substantially the same terms as the warrants offered in this offering, except that the compensation warrants will have an exercise price of $2.00 (125% of the public offering price per share) and a termination date of June 26, 2019, or the five year anniversary of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the compensation warrants and any shares issued upon exercise of the compensation warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering, except the transfer of any security: 

  · by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of our company;
     
  · to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period;
     
  · if the aggregate amount of securities of our company held by the holder of the compensation warrants or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;
     
  · that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or
     
  · the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period.

S-7
 

 

The warrants and the shares underlying the warrants issuable to the placement agent are being registered under the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part.

The placement agent shall also be entitled to the foregoing cash and warrant compensation (other than the unaccountable expense allowance) with respect to any investors introduced by the placement agent to us that invest in any subsequent capital-raising transaction during the 12-month period following the termination of the engagement letter.

Following the completion of this offering, we have granted the placement agent a right of first refusal under certain circumstances to act as financial advisor with respect to certain business transactions or to act as lead underwriter or placement agent in connection with any subsequent public or private offering of equity securities or other capital markets financing by us. This right of first refusal extends for twelve months from the date this offering is consummated.

We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(ii) of the Securities Act and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the sale of securities by them while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. The placement agent is required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including without limitation, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock by the placement agent. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent may not (i) engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities or (ii) bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until they have completed their participation in the distribution. The placement agent has informed us that it will not engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions or syndicate covering transactions in connection with this offering.

The engagement letter agreement provides that we will indemnify the placement agent against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The foregoing descriptions of the securities purchase agreement and the engagement letter are only summaries, do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the securities purchase agreement and the engagement letter, copies of which are attached as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K being filed with the SEC in connection with this offering and are incorporated herein by reference.

We currently anticipate that the closing of the sale of the shares of common stock and warrants offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement will take place on or about September 3, 2014. The securities purchase agreement provides that the obligations of the investors to close this offering are subject to certain conditions, including the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the receipt of customary legal opinions, letters and certificates.

This prospectus supplement will be distributed to the investors who agree to purchase the securities and will inform the investors of the closing date as to such securities. The investors will also be informed of the date and manner in which they must transmit the purchase price for their shares. We will deposit the shares of our common stock with The Depository Trust Company once the funds have been received.

ABOUT ORIENT PAPER

 

Overview

 

We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of diversified paper products in North China. We engage mainly in the production and distribution of packaging and printing paper products such as corrugating medium paper, offset printing paper, digital photo paper and other paper and packaging related products. 

Our Products

 

Corrugating medium paper. Corrugating medium paper is used in the manufacturing of corrugated cardboards. After the launch of our new 360,000 tonnes/year PM6, corrugating medium paper becomes a major product of the Company and comprises approximately 78% of our total paper production quantities and roughly 64% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. Raw materials used in the production of corrugating medium paper include recycled paper board (or Old Corrugated Cardboard, “OCC”) and certain supplementary agents. In January 2013, we removed PM1, which was previously used to produce corrugating medium paper, from production. We are currently in the process of renovating and converting PM1. We expect PM1 to produce up to 50,000 tonnes/year of insulation liner paper upon the completion of the renovation, which is scheduled for the second quarter of 2014. We currently have only one production line (PM6) that produces corrugating medium paper.

Offset printing paper. Offset printing paper is used for offset printing. Our medium-grade offset printing paper comprises approximately 21% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 32% of our total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. The offset printing paper we manufacture is typically coated and brightened. Raw materials used in the production of offset printing paper may include recycled white scrap paper, wood pulp, fluorescent whitening agent, sizing agent and pulvis talc. We have not produced any high-grade offset printing paper and have not used wood pulp as a source of raw material since the fourth quarter of year 2009. We currently have two production lines, PM2 and PM3 for the production of offset printing paper.

Digital photo paper. Starting in March 2010, we began producing digital photo papers that are cast-coating, and water-proof. These digital photo papers are sold to printing companies and paper distributors, who eventually sell to advertising companies and printing companies which use photo-quality paper for multiple-color printing or local photo studios for production of special event printouts or personal home printing use. Our digital photo paper comprises approximately 1% of our total paper production quantities and approximately 4% of our total sales revenue for the year ended December 31, 2013. We have two photo paper coating lines, PM4 and PM5, that produce digital photo paper products. 

Our Customers and Market

 

We generally sell our products to companies making corrugated cardboards (in the case of our packaging products like corrugating medium paper) and to printing companies (in the case of our printing paper products). We also sell digital photo paper mainly to distributors and advertising/printing companies. Our primary market has been the region of North China, especially in the province of Hebei. We target corporate customers in the middle range of the marketplace, where products such as corrugating medium paper and mid-grade offset printing paper with reasonable quality and competitive pricing have potential for high volume growth. 

Company Information

 

Our principal executive offices are located at Science Park, Juli Road, Xushui County, Baoding City, Hebei Province, People’s Republic of China. Our telephone number is (86) 312-869-8215.

  · the resulting or acquiring entity, if other than us, is organized and existing under the laws of a United States jurisdiction and assumes all of our responsibilities and liabilities under the indenture, including the payment of all amounts due on the debt securities and performance of the covenants in the indenture;
     
  · immediately after the transaction, and giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture exists; and
     
  · we have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with the transaction, the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture and that all conditions precedent to the transaction contained in the indenture have been satisfied.

 

If we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term “wholly owned subsidiary” means any subsidiary in which we and/or our other wholly owned subsidiaries own all of the outstanding capital stock. 

Modification and Waiver

 

Under the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without its consent: 

  · a change in the stated maturity date of any payment of principal or interest;
     
  · a reduction in the principal amount of or interest on any debt securities;
     
  · an alteration or impairment of any right to convert at the rate or upon the terms provided in the indenture;
     
  · a change in the currency in which any payment on the debt securities is payable;

10
 

  · an impairment of a holder’s right to sue us for the enforcement of payments due on the debt securities; or
     
  · a reduction in the percentage of outstanding debt securities required to consent to a modification or amendment of the indenture or required to consent to a waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults under the indenture.

 

Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities

  · waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture; and
     
  · waive any past default under the indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities.

 

Events of Default

 

Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, “event of default” under the indenture will mean, with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following: 

  · failure to pay interest on any debt security for 30 days after the payment is due;
     
  · failure to pay the principal of any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise;
     
  · failure on our part to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture that applies to the debt securities for 90 days after we have received written notice of the failure to perform in the manner specified in the indenture; and
     
  · certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.

 

If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration. In addition, if there is an “event of default” under the indenture, it may trigger an event of default under our credit agreement. 

The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer’s knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture. 

The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may direct the time, method and place of 

  · conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or
     
  · exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee.
     
  · The holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:
     
  · the holder has previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default;
     
  · the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made a written request of, and offered reasonable indemnity to, the trustee to begin such proceeding;

11
 

 

  · the trustee has not started such proceeding within 60 days after receiving the request; and
     
  · no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the trustee under the indenture.

 

However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when due and to institute suit to enforce this payment. 

Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance

 

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time, 

  · we have paid the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of any series, except for debt securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid in accordance with the indenture, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, or
     
  · we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated, except for debt securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture, or
     
  · all the debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums due on the debt securities, on the dates the payments are due or become due under the indenture and the terms of the debt securities,

 

then the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for (a) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and our right of optional redemption, (b) substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities, (c) rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (d) the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture and (e) the rights of the holders of such series of debt securities as beneficiaries thereof with respect to the property so deposited with the trustee payable to all or any of them.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt securities of any series either: 

  · to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations with respect to such debt securities (“defeasance”), with certain exceptions described below; or
     
  · to be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under such covenants as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and any omission to comply with those obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to such debt securities (“covenant defeasance”).

 

We must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected: 

  · we must irrevocably deposit with the indenture trustee or other qualifying trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the trustee, trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such debt securities, sufficient money or government obligations or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums on the due dates for those payments; and
     
  · we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, to be effected with respect to such debt securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred.

 

In connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision for (a) payment of the principal of and interest on such debt securities, if any, appertaining thereto when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments or otherwise), (b) the payment of the expenses of the trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust provisions, (c) rights of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of such debt securities in accordance with the terms stated in the indenture and (d) continuation of the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee as against the holders of such debt securities as stated in the indenture. 

12
 

 

The accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a particular series. 

Global Securities

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary must be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement. 

Notices

 

We will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York. 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is applicable. 

Regarding the Trustee

 

From time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of shares of common stock and warrants or any combination of such securities. 

The applicable prospectus supplement will specify the following terms of any units in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered:

  · The terms of the units and of any of the common stock and warrants comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be traded separately;
     
  · a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units; and
     
  · a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units.

 

Each applicable unit agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of State of New York.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities described in this prospectus from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities separately or together:

  · directly to investors, including through a specific bidding, auction, or other process;
     
  · to investors through agents;
     
  · directly to agents;
     
  · to or through brokers or dealers;
     
  · to the public through underwriting syndicates led by one or more managing underwriters;
     
  · in privately negotiated transactions;
     
  · to one or more underwriters acting alone for resale to investors or to the public;
     
  · in a registered direct offering; and
     
  · through a combination of any such methods of sale.

 

Our common stock may be issued upon conversion of debt securities. Securities may also be issued upon exercise of warrants or rights and division of units and we reserve the right to sell securities directly to investors on their own behalf in those jurisdictions where they are authorized to do so. 

If we sell securities to a dealer acting as principal, the dealer may resell such securities at varying prices to be determined by such dealer in its discretion at the time of resale without consulting with us and such resale prices may not be disclosed in the applicable prospectus supplement. 

Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or a firm commitment basis. We may also offer securities through subscription rights distributed to our stockholders on a pro rata basis, which may or may not be transferable. In any distribution of subscription rights to stockholders, if all of the underlying securities are not subscribed for, we may then sell the unsubscribed securities directly to third parties or may engage the services of one or more underwriters, dealers or agents, including standby underwriters, to sell the unsubscribed securities to third parties. 

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions: 

  · at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
     
  · at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
     
  · at prices related to such prevailing market prices;
     
  · at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
     
  · at negotiated prices.

Any of the prices may represent a discount from the then prevailing market prices. 

We may determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement how any auction will be conducted to determine the price or any other terms of the securities, how potential investors may participate in the auction and, where applicable, the nature of the underwriters’ obligations with respect to the auction. 

We may solicit directly offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities. 

15
 

 

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and we will provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. Any underwritten offering may be on a best efforts or firm commitment basis. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. 

We, our underwriters, dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors. 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement (i) the identity of any underwriter, dealer or agent, (ii) any compensation we will pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, (iii) any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, (iv) the amounts underwritten; and (v) the nature of the underwriter’s or underwriters’ obligation to take the securities. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof. 

Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus supplement, each series of securities will be a new issue with no established trading market, other than shares of common stock, which are listed on the NYSE MTK. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing and trading on the NYSE MTK, subject to applicable notices. We may elect to list any series of warrants, rights, debt securities, units or depositary shares on an exchange, but we are not obligated to do so. It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of, or the trading market for, any offered securities. 

To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than we sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing the securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if the securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time. 

We do not make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above might have on the price of the securities. In addition, we do not make any representation that underwriters will engage in such transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice. 

We may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts. 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. If the third party is or may be deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act, it will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, we may otherwise loan or securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities. 

To comply with applicable state securities laws, the securities offered by this prospectus will be sold, if necessary, in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, securities may not be sold in some states unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
