Prospectus supplement summary
This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus supplement, including the risks of investing discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4, the information incorporated by reference, including our financial statements, the accompanying prospectus and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part.
Throughout this prospectus supplement, (i) references to “CAS,” “CASMED,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CAS Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, unless the context otherwise requires; (ii) references to “common stock” refer to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.004 per share; and (iii) references to “preferred stock” refer collectively to the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share, and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company
We are a medical technology company that develops, manufactures and markets non-invasive patient monitoring products that are vital to patient care. Our products include the FORE-SIGHT®Absolute Tissue Oximeter and sensors, and our Traditional Monitoring products, which include MAXNIBP® blood pressure measurement technology, bedside monitoring products, and neonatal vital signs supplies. These products are designed to provide accurate, non-invasive, biologic measurements that guide clinicians to provide better patient care.
We believe that our FORE-SIGHT Absolute Tissue Oximeter places CASMED in a unique position to expand the clinical application for monitoring tissue oxygenation. Standard non-invasive parameters such as pulse oximetry and blood pressure only provide surrogate markers of tissue oxygen delivery. The indirect nature of these parameters forces clinicians to infer the adequacy of oxygenation in vital organs. However, data show that clinician estimation of cerebral oxygenation during medical procedures often does not correlate with actual tissue oxygenation levels and that potentially dangerous cerebral hypoxia often goes unrecognized. Therefore, we believe direct monitoring of cerebral oxygenation provides a unique and powerful tool that allows clinicians to recognize and treat potentially dangerous tissue hypoxia to avoid adverse clinical outcomes.
We report two categories of revenue within one reportable business unit.
  • Tissue Oximetry Monitoring — includes sales of our FORE-SIGHT Absolute Tissue Oximeter monitors, sensors and accessories; and
  • Traditional Monitoring — includes sales of our traditional vital signs products and services including: (i) sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) of our proprietary non-invasive blood pressure technology (MAXNIBP®) for inclusion in the OEM customer’s own multi-parameter monitors; (ii) bedside vital signs monitors and accessories incorporating various combinations of measurement parameters for both human and veterinary use such as MAXNIBP non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, electrocardiography (ECG), temperature, and capnography (CO2 measurements); (iii) neonatal intensive care vital signs supplies including electrodes and skin temperature probes; and (iv) service repair.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 44 East Industrial Road, Branford, CT 06405, and our telephone number is (203) 488-6056. We maintain a website at www.casmed.com where general information about us is available. We are not incorporating the contents of the website into this prospectus supplement.
Financial Update
We have completed our second fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. Although we have not yet finalized and announced our consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2013, our preliminary financial data reflect revenues of approximately $5.0 million for the quarter, consisting of $2.2 million from sales of Tissue Oximetry Monitoring products, an increase of approximately 15% from the same period in the prior year, and $2.8 million from sales of our Traditional Monitoring products, a decrease of approximately 13% from the same period in the prior year. We expect to announce a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.


The Offering
Issuer
CAS Medical Systems, Inc.
Common Stock Offered by Us
           shares
Common Stock to be Outstanding After Completion of this Offering
           shares
Use of Proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.”
Impact of Preferred Stock Anti-Dilution
The holders of our common stock, including the purchasers of shares in this offering, will suffer immediate dilution upon the consummation of this offering as a result of the adjustment to the conversion price of our preferred stock, due to the issuance of common stock below the conversion price of $2.82 per share. Assuming the sale of      shares of common stock in this offering at a price of $      per share, the conversion price of our outstanding preferred stock will be reduced, based on a weighted average formula, from $2.82 per share to $       per share. Accordingly, based upon the liquidation value of the preferred stock at March 31, 2013, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock will increase from 6,045,242 to        . See “Risk Factors — Investors in this offering will suffer immediate dilution” on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement.
Risk Factors
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus and under similar headings in the other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
Market and Trading Symbol
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “CASM.”
The above information is based upon 13,735,221 shares of common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2013. This information does not include (a) 3,060,116 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants to purchase our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.70 per share, (b) 1,083,618 shares of common stock reserved for future grants under our outstanding equity compensation plan, subject to increase for awards that expire unexercised or otherwise do not result in the issuance of shares, (c) 107,796 shares of common stock reserved for future issuances under our employee stock purchase plan, or (d) shares issuable upon conversion of our outstanding preferred stock, the effect of which is addressed separately above.

RISK FACTORS
Our business faces many risks. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risk factors actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. The risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional risks that we do not yet know of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. You should consider the following risks, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference from our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and other subsequent SEC filings incorporated herein by reference before deciding to invest in our common stock.
Risks Relating to Our Business
We have a recent history of net losses and are subject to risks regarding future liquidity.
We have experienced operating losses during our last five fiscal years. The net loss applicable to common stockholders was $8,432,000 for the 2012 calendar year and $1,880,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the accumulated deficit was $13,066,000 as of December 31, 2012 and $14,654,000 as of March 31, 2013. The Company does not anticipate a return to operating profits in the near term and there can be no assurance that we will be able to improve our results of operations in the near term or at all.
The Company’s ordinary short-term capital needs are expected to be met from our current cash on hand and amounts available under our Loan Agreement with East West Bank. Cash flows may be impacted by a number of factors, including changing market conditions, market acceptance of the FORE-SIGHT system, and the loss of one or more key customers. The Company may seek additional capital in addition to the net proceeds from this offering, however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising such additional capital if the need arises. The failure to raise any necessary additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We are a small company in a highly competitive industry.
Competition from other medical device companies, diversified healthcare companies and research and academic institutions is intense and expected to increase. Many companies engaged in the medical device sector have substantially greater financial and other resources and development capabilities than we do, and have substantially greater experience in testing products, obtaining regulatory approvals and manufacturing, marketing and distributing medical devices.
Other companies may succeed in developing and commercializing products earlier than we do. In addition to competing with universities and other research institutions in the development of products, technologies and processes, the Company may compete with other companies in acquiring rights to products or technologies from universities. Also, the medical device market is experiencing increasing customer concentration, due to the emergence of large purchasing groups and hospital systems. We cannot assure you that we will develop products that are more effective or achieve greater market acceptance than competitive products, or that our competitors will not succeed in developing products and technologies that are more effective than those being developed by us or that would render our products and technologies less competitive or obsolete. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully sell to large purchasing groups, which are increasingly looking to suppliers that can provide a broader range of products than we currently offer.
Our business is impacted by customer concentration.
Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 31%, 36% and 41% of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Among these customers, Physio-Control, Inc. accounted for 15% of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 11% of revenues for both 2012 and 2011. Also included above are sales to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“V.A.”). When aggregating sales to the individual V.A. hospitals, those revenues accounted for 5% of overall revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 18% of overall revenues for both 2012 and 2011. The Company has a blanket agreement with the V.A. for the purchase of its 740 brand vital signs monitor through February 2015, however, there can be no assurance that our new 740 SELECT brand monitor will receive a similar designation. The loss of any significant customer could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We are devoting substantial resources to the development and marketing of our tissue oximetry products.
We expect to devote a significant amount of resources to continue the development and marketing of our FORE-SIGHT tissue oximetry products. We believe that substantial additional resources are required to further penetrate the markets for these products. Such investments include further research and development, including significant expenditures for clinical studies, equipment for placements at customer sites, further expansion of our selling organization, marketing expenditures and general working capital requirements. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these endeavors. In addition, since we have limited financial resources, our emphasis on FORE-SIGHT tissue oximetry products may result in a lack of sufficient resources for our other product lines, which may negatively impact our overall financial results.
The sale of our products may result in significant product liability exposure.
As a manufacturer of medical diagnostic equipment, we face product liability claims. We maintain product liability insurance in an aggregate amount of $5 million. We cannot assure you that this insurance coverage will be adequate to cover any product liability claims that occur in the future or that product liability insurance will continue to be available at reasonable prices. Any product liability judgments or settlements in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our business could be adversely affected if we cannot protect our proprietary technology or if we infringe on the proprietary technology of others.
Our proprietary technology aids our ability to compete effectively with other companies in certain markets in which we compete. Although we have been awarded, have filed applications for, or have been licensed under numerous patents, these patents may not fully protect our technology or competitive position. Further, our competitors may apply for and obtain patents that will restrict our ability to make and sell our products.
Our competitors may intentionally infringe our patents. Third parties may also assert infringement claims against us. Litigation may be necessary to enforce patents issued to us, to protect our trade secrets or know-how, to defend ourselves against claimed infringement of the rights of others or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. The defense and prosecution of patent suits are both costly and time-consuming, even if the outcome is favorable to us. Such proceedings can be extremely expensive and their outcome very unpredictable.
An adverse outcome in the defense of a patent suit could cause us to lose proprietary rights, subject us to significant liabilities to third parties or require us to license rights from third parties or to cease selling our products. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. We also rely on unpatented proprietary technology that others may independently develop or otherwise obtain access to.
Our inability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies could negatively affect our revenues and earnings.
Cost-containment efforts of our customers, purchasing groups, third-party payors and governmental organizations could adversely affect our sales and profitability.
Many existing and potential customers for our products within the United States have become members of group purchase organizations (GPOs) and integrated delivery networks (IDNs), in an effort to reduce costs. GPOs and IDNs negotiate pricing arrangements with healthcare product manufacturers and distributors and offer the negotiated prices to affiliated hospitals and other members. GPOs and IDNs typically award contracts on a category-by-category basis through a competitive bidding process. Bids are generally solicited from multiple manufacturers with the intention of driving down pricing. Due to the highly competitive nature of the GPO and IDN contracting processes, we may not be able to obtain or maintain contract positions with major GPOs and IDNs across our product portfolio.
Furthermore, the increasing leverage of organized buying groups may reduce market prices for our products, thereby reducing our profitability.

While having a contract with a GPO or IDN for a given product category can facilitate sales to members of that GPO or IDN, such contract positions can offer no assurance that sales volumes of those products will be maintained. GPOs and IDNs increasingly are awarding contracts to multiple suppliers for the same product category. Even when we are the sole contracted supplier of a GPO or IDN for a certain product category, members of the GPO or IDN generally are free to purchase from other suppliers. Furthermore, GPO and IDN contracts typically are terminable without cause upon 60 to 90 days’ notice. Accordingly, the members of such groups may choose to purchase from our competitors due to the price or quality offered by such competitors, which could result in a decline in our sales and profitability.
Distributors of our products also have begun to negotiate terms of sale more aggressively to increase their profitability. Failure to negotiate distribution arrangements having advantageous pricing and other terms of sale could cause us to lose market share and would adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Outside the United States, we have experienced pricing pressure from centralized governmental healthcare authorities and increased efforts by such authorities to lower healthcare costs. We frequently are required to engage in competitive bidding for the sale of our products to governmental purchasing agents. Our failure to offer acceptable prices to these customers could adversely affect our sales and profitability in these markets.
Defects or failures associated with our products could lead to recalls or safety alerts and negative publicity.
Manufacturing flaws, component failures, design defects, off-label uses or inadequate disclosure of product-related information could result in an unsafe condition or the injury or death of a patient. These problems could lead to a recall of, or issuance of a safety alert relating to, our products and result in significant costs and negative publicity. Due to the strong name recognition of our brands, an adverse event involving one of our products could result in reduced market acceptance and demand for all products within that brand, and could harm our reputation and our ability to market our products in the future. In some circumstances, adverse events arising from or associated with the design, manufacture or marketing of our products could result in the suspension or delay of regulatory reviews of our applications for new product approvals. We also may undertake a voluntary recall of products or temporarily shut down production lines based on performance relative to our own internal safety and quality monitoring and testing data. Any of the foregoing problems could disrupt our business and have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We depend on distributors for a substantial portion of our revenues. Failure to establish and maintain relationships with distributors could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations.
We depend on distributors for a substantial percentage of our revenues. Certain of our distribution agreements may contain terms that are not favorable to us, and as our existing distribution agreements expire, we may be unable to renew with our desired distributors on favorable terms or at all. In addition, we seek to limit our dependence on any single distributor by limiting and periodically redefining the scope of each distributor’s territory and the range of our products that it sells, which may make us less attractive to some distributors. Furthermore, competition for distributors is intense. We compete for distributors domestically and internationally with other leading medical equipment and device companies that may have higher visibility, greater name recognition and financial resources, and a broader product selection than we do. Our competitors also often enter into long-term distribution agreements that effectively prevent their distributors from selling our products. At times, we may also become engaged in contract disputes or other negotiations with distributors. Consequently, establishing relationships with new distributors, maintaining relationships with existing distributors, and replacing distributors may be difficult and time consuming. Any disruption of our distribution network, including our failure to renew distribution agreements at favorable terms or our failure to successfully negotiate contract disputes, could negatively affect our ability to effectively sell our products and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we are unable to effectively structure and manage our distribution network, actions taken by our distributors could harm our corporate image and cause us to fail to meet our sales goals.
We have limited ability to manage the activities of our distributors, who are independent from us. Our distributors could take one or more of the following actions, some of which we have previously experienced, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and brand:
  • sell products that compete with products that they have contracted to sell for us;
  • sell our products outside of our pricing guidelines, distorting the market price of our products;
  • sell our products outside their designated territory or to non-authorized end-users, possibly in violation of the exclusive distribution rights of other distributors;
  • directly or indirectly distribute products lacking necessary U.S. certifications into the U.S. market in violation of applicable U.S. law;
  • fail to adequately promote our products; and/or
  • fail to provide proper training, repair and service to our end-users.
Furthermore, our distributors may focus selling efforts only on those products that provide them with the largest margins at the expense of products that offer them smaller margins.
Failure to adequately manage our distribution network, or non-compliance by distributors with our distribution agreements could harm our corporate image among end-users of our products and disrupt our sales, resulting in a failure to meet our sales goals.
Our direct sales operations are costly and the related ongoing operational costs could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We maintain direct operations in the United States, and rely on direct sales for a significant portion of our revenues from the United States. Maintaining a direct sales force is costly. In the United States, we typically provide our direct operations personnel with payroll and other benefits that we do not provide independent distributors. Many of these benefits are fixed costs that do not depend on revenue generation. Maintaining these direct operations is costly and ongoing operational costs could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are subject to significant government regulation.
Our business is subject to varying degrees of governmental regulation in the countries in which we operate. In the United States, our products are subject to regulation as medical devices by the FDA, and by other federal and state agencies. These regulations pertain to the manufacturing, labeling, development and testing of our devices as well as to the maintenance of required records. An FDA regulation also requires prompt reporting by all medical device manufacturers of an event or malfunction involving a medical device where the device caused or contributed to death or serious injury or is likely to do so.
Federal law provides for several routes by which the FDA reviews medical devices before their entry into the marketplace. Medical products of the type currently being marketed and under development by us are subject to regulation under the Food, Drug & Cosmetics Act (the “FD&C Act”) and numerous acts and amendments such as the Quality System Regulations which replaced the regulations formerly called Good Manufacturing Practices. In addition, depending upon product type, we must also comply with those regulations governing the Conduct of Human Investigations, Pre-Market Regulations and other requirements, as promulgated by the FDA. The FDA is authorized to inspect a device, its labeling and advertising, and the facilities in which it is manufactured in order to ensure that the device is not manufactured or labeled in a manner which could cause it to be injurious to health.
The FDA has adopted regulations which classify medical devices based upon the degree of regulation believed necessary to assure safety and efficacy. A device is classified as a Class I, II, or III device. Class I devices are subject only to general controls. Class II devices, in addition to general controls, are or will be subject to “performance standards.” Most devices are also subject to the 510(k) pre-market notification provision. In addition, some Class III devices require FDA pre-market approval before they may be

marketed commercially because their safety and effectiveness cannot be assured by the general controls and performance standards of Class I or II devices. Our products are primarily Class I and II devices and several of them have required FDA notification under Section 510(k) of the FD&C Act.
Satisfaction of clearance or approval requirements may take up to several years or more and may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product. The effect of government regulation may be to delay marketing of new products for a considerable or indefinite period of time, to impose costly procedures upon our activities and to furnish a competitive advantage to larger companies that compete with us. We cannot assure you that FDA or other regulatory clearance or approval for any products we develop will be granted on a timely basis, if at all, or, once granted, that clearances or approvals will not be withdrawn or other regulatory action taken which might limit our ability to market our proposed products. Any delay in obtaining or failure to obtain these clearances or approvals would adversely affect the manufacturing and marketing of our products and the ability to generate additional product revenue. The FDA also has the authority to, among other things, deny marketing approval until all regulatory protocols are deemed acceptable, halt the shipment of defective products, and seize defective products sold to customers. Adverse action or publicity from the FDA, if any, could have a negative impact upon our results from operations.
Federal regulatory reforms may adversely affect our ability to successfully market our products and impact our financial condition.
Recent federal efforts to reform the U.S. health care industry have resulted in legislation such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Affordable Care Act”) and other measures which will effect changes in healthcare delivery and coverage, and public and private reimbursements for services performed. Federal initiatives may also affect state programs. Legislative changes may affect hospital market expenditures for medical devices, the type and volume of procedures performed, and the demand for new and innovative products. These changes could be significant and may adversely affect the demand for our products, our results of operations, cash flows and our overall financial condition.
The Affordable Care Act provisions are funded by a variety of taxes including a medical device excise tax of 2.3% imposed on manufacturers and importers of certain medical devices. The Company is subject to the medical device excise tax effective January 1, 2013. The Company estimates that had the tax been in effect since January 1, 2012, the Company would have paid approximately $315,000 in taxes in connection with the Affordable Care Act for the 2012 fiscal year.
Outside of the U.S., healthcare delivery and reimbursement systems vary by country. Efforts to control rising healthcare costs, changes and participation in government sponsored programs and various other economic factors may impact our ability to successfully market our products outside of the U.S.
Our products may become rapidly obsolete.
The areas in which we are developing, distributing, and/or licensing products involve rapidly developing technology. Others may develop products that might cause products being developed, distributed or licensed by us to become obsolete or uneconomical or result in products superior to our products.
We are subject to currency and related risks.
Our international sales subject us to currency and related risks. We expect that international sales will continue to constitute a significant portion of our business. Although we sell our products in United States dollars and are not subject to significant currency risks, an increase in the value of the United States dollar relative to foreign currencies in our international markets could make our products less price competitive in these markets. Our international sales accounted for 23% and 25% of our total net sales for the 2012 and 2011 fiscal years, respectively.
An acquisition of the company may be hindered.
Our Board of Directors is authorized to issue from time to time, without stockholder authorization, shares of preferred stock, in one or more designated series or classes. We are also subject to a Delaware statute regulating business combinations. These provisions could discourage, hinder or preclude an unsolicited acquisition of the Company and could make it less likely that stockholders receive a premium for their shares as a result of any takeover attempt.

We have outstanding shares of preferred stock with rights and preferences superior to those of our common stock.
The issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock grant the holders of such preferred stock anti-dilution, voting, accretion, dividend and liquidation rights that are superior to those held by the holders of our common stock. In addition, upon the issuance of shares of common stock in this offering and future issuances or deemed issuances of additional shares of common stock for a price below the applicable preferred stock conversion price (currently $2.82 per share prior to this offering — see “Prospectus Supplement Summary — The Offering — Impact of Preferred Stock Anti-Dilution” for a discussion of the impact of this offering on such conversion price), the conversion price of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be lowered based on a weighted average formula, which will have the effect of immediately diluting the holders of our common stock.
Ownership of our shares is concentrated in the hands of a few investors which could limit the ability of our other stockholders to influence the direction of the company.
As calculated by SEC rules of beneficial ownership, Thomas, McNerney & Partners and their affiliates, and BMI Capital Corporation each beneficially owned approximately 30.7% and 14.9%, respectively, of our common stock on an as converted basis as of the dates of their most recent public filings with the SEC. Accordingly, although they are not affiliated with one another, they collectively may have the ability to significantly influence or determine the election of all of our directors or the outcome of most corporate actions requiring stockholder approval. They may exercise this ability in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of our other stockholders.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market originally issued through the conversion of preferred stock, exercise of options or warrants, or additional financing transactions could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and would have a dilutive effect upon our shareholders.
Historically, our common stock has been thinly traded. This low trading volume may have had a significant effect on the market price of our common stock, which may not be indicative of the market price in a more liquid market. As of June 30, 2013, options and warrants for the purchase of 3,060,116 shares of our common stock were outstanding and 6,151,034 shares of common stock were issuable upon conversion of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock (which amount will be adjusted to          shares of common stock upon the consummation of this offering after giving effect to the anti-dilution provisions of these securities, assuming the issuance of         shares of common stock at a price to public of $     per share).
We depend highly on certain key management personnel.
We believe that our future success will depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our senior management, in particular, Thomas Patton, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Herwig, our Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Dr. Paul Benni, our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. John Gamelin, our Vice President of Research and Development, and Jeffery Baird, our Chief Financial Officer. The loss of the services of these executives could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We do not expect to pay cash dividends.
We have not paid cash dividends on our common stock since inception, and at this time we do not anticipate that we will pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we are currently precluded from issuing dividends on our common stock unless we receive the consent of holders of a majority of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock.
With regard to dividends issuable on our Series A Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, a holder must issue a written request to the Company by June 15th of 2011, 2012, or 2013 to receive cash dividends for the applicable succeeding four fiscal quarters ending June 30th, September 30th, December 31st, and March 31st. The holders of our preferred stock have elected in writing not to receive

cash dividends for the fiscal quarters through June 30, 2013. Further, the holders of our preferred stock have irrevocably waived their cash dividend rights for the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014, in accordance with the Company’s Loan Agreement with East West Bank executed on July 31, 2012. The Loan Agreement prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The holders’ waiver of their cash dividend rights for the four fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014, may be revoked if the Company’s obligations to East West Bank are terminated at any time prior to June 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2013, $2,047,583 in accretion had accumulated on the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering
Our stock price may be volatile and you may lose all or a part of your investment.
While our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, an active public market for our common stock may not be sustained. You may not be able to sell your shares quickly or at the current market price if trading in our stock is not active. Our stock price could fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, including:
  • achievement or rejection of regulatory approvals by our competitors or by us;
  • announcements of new technological innovations or new commercial products by our competitors or by us;
  • developments concerning proprietary rights, including patents;
  • economic or other crises or other external factors;
  • conditions or trends in the medical device or healthcare industries;
  • litigation and other developments relating to our patents or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors;
  • governmental regulation and legislation in the United States and foreign countries;
  • changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our performance or our failure to meet analysts’ expectations;
  • sales of substantial amounts of our stock;
  • variations in product revenue and profitability; and
  • variations in our anticipated or actual operating results.
Many of these factors are beyond our control, and we believe that period-to-period comparisons of our financial results will not necessarily be indicative of our future performance. If our revenues in any particular period do not meet expectations, we may not be able to adjust our expenditures in that period, which could cause our operating results to suffer. If our operating results in any future period fall below the expectations of securities analysts or investors, our stock price may fall by a significant amount.
In addition, the stock markets in general, and the Nasdaq Global Market and the market for medical device companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations recently. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.
Investors in this offering will suffer immediate dilution.
Upon the issuance of shares of common stock in this offering for a price below $2.82 per share, the conversion price of our outstanding preferred stock will be lowered based on a weighted average formula, which enables the shares of preferred stock to be converted into more shares of common stock than prior to such adjustment. As a result, the holders of our common stock, including the purchasers of shares in this offering, will suffer immediate dilution upon the consummation of this offering. Assuming the sale of      shares of common stock in this offering at a price of $      per share, the conversion price of our

outstanding preferred stock will be reduced, based on a weighted average formula, from $2.82 per share to $      per share. Accordingly, based upon the liquidation value of the preferred stock at March 31, 2013, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock will increase from 6,045,242 to        .
Based on an assumed public offering price of $1.58 per share (the last reported sales price of our common stock on July 15, 2013), the issuance price of our common stock in this offering will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock (assuming all shares of our preferred stock are converted into common stock). Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering stock (assuming all shares of our preferred stock are converted into common stock). Based on an assumed public offering price of $1.58 per share, you will experience immediate dilution of $   per share, representing the difference between our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and assuming all shares of our preferred stock are converted into common stock and the assumed public offering price. See “Dilution.”
We will have considerable discretion over the use of the proceeds of this offering and may not realize an adequate return.
We will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. We have not determined the amount of net proceeds that we will apply to various corporate purposes. We may use the proceeds for purposes that do not yield a significant return, if any, for our stockholders.

Such statements are based upon the beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management as of the date such statement was made and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. When used in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, the terms “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions which indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference speak only as of the date on which such statement was made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information, or otherwise.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we are offering will be approximately $          , after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby for operating costs, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies that we believe are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from the offering.

Capitalization
The following table sets forth our cash, cash equivalents and capitalization as of March 31, 2013 on an actual basis and on an as adjusted basis to reflect our receipt of estimated net proceeds of $     million from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering, based on an assumed public offering price of $1.58 per share (the last reported sales price of our common stock on July 15, 2013), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.
The historical data in the table is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, our historical financial statements, including accompanying notes, incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. You should also read this table in conjunction with the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

DILUTION
Our net tangible book value at March 31, 2013 was approximately $10,715,000, or $0.54 per share of common stock, assuming all shares of preferred stock have been converted to common stock. Net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing the net tangible book value, total tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of common stock, assuming all shares of preferred stock have been converted to common stock, at that date. Assuming the sale of      shares of common stock in this offering at a price of $1.58 per share (the last reported sales price of our common stock on July 15, 2013), the conversion price of our outstanding preferred stock will be reduced, based on a weighted average formula, from $2.82 per share to $      per share. Accordingly, based upon the liquidation value of the preferred stock at March 31, 2013, the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock will increase from 6,045,242 to      . After taking into account the sale by us of      shares of our common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $1.58 per share, assuming all shares of preferred stock have been converted to shares of common stock at the reduced conversion price and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and our estimated offering expenses, the as adjusted net tangible book value at March 31, 2013 would have been approximately $    million, or $    per share. Assuming the completion of this offering, there will be an immediate increase in net tangible book value to existing stockholders of $    per share and an immediate dilution to new investors of $    per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors:

The underwriter has advised us that they propose to offer the shares of common stock to the public at the price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. The underwriter proposes to offer the shares of common stock to certain dealers at the same price less a concession not in excess of a combined $       per share of common stock. After this offering, these amounts may be changed by the underwriter.
The underwriting discount is equal to the public offering price per share of common stock, less the amount paid by the underwriter to us per share of common stock. The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriter in this offering.

We estimate expenses payable by us in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts referred to above, will be approximately $198,500. This estimate includes $75,000 of fees and expenses of the underwriter, which includes the fees and expenses of underwriter’s counsel. Except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, the underwriter has not received and will not receive from us any other item of compensation or expense in connection with this offering considered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to be underwriting compensation under its rule of fair price. The underwriting discount was determined through an arms’ length negotiation between us and the underwriter.
We have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (theSecurities Act”) or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.
We and each of our directors and executive officers and the holders of our preferred stock have agreed to certain restrictions on the ability to sell shares of our common stock for a period of 90 days after the date of this prospectus supplement. The agreements provide exceptions for sales to the underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement and certain other situations. The restrictions in these agreements may be waived by the underwriter in its sole discretion. The lock-up period discussed above is subject to extension such that, in the event that either (i) during the last 17 days of the “lock-up” period, we issue an earnings or financial results release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs, or (ii) prior to the expiration of the “lock-up” period, we announce that we will release earnings or financial results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the “lock-up” period, then in either case the expiration of the “lock-up” period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings or financial results release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the underwriter waives, in writing, such an extension.
From time to time in the ordinary course of business, the underwriter and certain of the underwriter’s affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking transactions with us or our affiliates.
To facilitate this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of shares of our common stock during and after this offering. Specifically, the underwriter may create a short position in our common stock for its own accounts by selling more shares of common stock than we have sold to them. The underwriter may close out any short position by purchasing shares in the open market. In addition, the underwriter may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids

are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if shares previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of our common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of shares of our common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Market, where our common stock is listed or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
In connection with this offering, the underwriter and any selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Global Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.
The underwriter may facilitate the marketing of this offering online directly or through one of the underwriter’s affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and place orders online or through their financial advisors. Such websites and the information contained on such websites, or connected to such sites, are not incorporated into and are not a part of this prospectus supplement.

SUMMARY
Prospectus Summary
This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. You should carefully read the entire prospectus, including the risks of investing discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4, the information incorporated by reference, including our financial statements, and the exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Throughout this prospectus, (i) references to “CAS,” “CASMED,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to CAS Medical Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, unless the context otherwise requires; (ii) references to “common stock” refer to the Company’s common stock, par value $0.004 per share; and (iii) references to “preferred stock” refer to the Company’s preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share.
The Company
We are a medical technology company that develops, manufactures and markets non-invasive patient monitoring products that are vital to patient care. Our products include the FORE-SIGHT® Absolute Tissue Oximeter and sensors, and our Traditional Monitoring products which include MAXNIBP® blood pressure measurement technology, bedside monitoring products, and neonatal vital signs supplies. These products are designed to provide accurate, non-invasive, biologic measurements that guide clinicians to provide better patient care.
We believe that our FORE-SIGHT Absolute Tissue Oximeter places CASMED in a unique position to expand the clinical application for monitoring tissue oxygenation. Standard non-invasive parameters such as pulse oximetry and blood pressure only provide surrogate markers of tissue oxygen delivery. The indirect nature of these parameters forces clinicians to infer the adequacy of oxygenation in vital organs. However, data convincingly show that clinician estimation of cerebral oxygenation during medical procedures often does not correlate with actual tissue oxygenation levels and that potentially dangerous cerebral hypoxia often goes unrecognized. Therefore, direct monitoring of cerebral oxygenation provides a unique and powerful tool that allows clinicians to recognize and treat potentially dangerous tissue hypoxia to avoid adverse clinical outcomes.
We report two categories of revenue within one reportable business unit.
  • Tissue Oximetry Monitoring — includes sales of our FORE-SIGHT Absolute Tissue Oximeter monitors, sensors and accessories; and
  • Traditional Monitoring — includes sales of our traditional vital signs products and services including: (i) sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) of our proprietary non-invasive blood pressure technology (MAXNIBP®) for inclusion in the OEM customer’s own multi-parameter monitors; (ii) bedside vital signs monitors and accessories incorporating various combinations of measurement parameters for both human and veterinary use such as MAXNIBP non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, electrocardiography (ECG), temperature, and capnography (CO2 measurements); (iii) neonatal intensive care vital signs supplies including electrodes and skin temperature probes; and (iv) service repair.
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 44 East Industrial Road, Branford, CT 06405, and our telephone number is (203) 488-6056. We maintain a website at www.casmed.com where general information about us is available. We are not incorporating the contents of the website into this prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the risks described under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein, as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement hereto before making a decision to invest in our securities.

USE OF PROCEEDS
Except as described in any applicable prospectus supplement and in any free writing prospectuses in connection with a specific offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities offered hereby for operating costs, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies that we believe are complementary to our own, although we have no current plans, commitments or agreements with respect to any acquisitions as of the date of this prospectus. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK
As of the date of this prospectus, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to (i) 40,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.004 per share and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share. As of May 23, 2013, there were 13,697,955 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, which shares were held by 205 stockholders of record, and 150,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, of which 95,500 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 54,500 shares are designated as Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock.
The following summary describes the material terms of our capital stock. The description of our capital stock is qualified by reference to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are incorporated by reference as exhibits into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Common Stock
All outstanding shares of our common stock, par value $0.004 per share, are fully paid and nonassessable. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote, except matters that relate only to a series of our preferred stock. In general, stockholder action is based on the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock represented either in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such action. Directors are elected by plurality vote.
Subject to limitations under Delaware law and preferences that may apply to any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefor. Dividends, if any, will be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, and capital requirements and financial conditions. To date, no cash dividends have been declared on our common stock. We do not currently intend to pay a cash dividend on our common stock in the near future. Furthermore, we are currently precluded from issuing dividends on our common stock unless we receive the consent of holders of a majority of our outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share pro rata all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock, subject to the liquidation preference of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share.
When we offer to sell a particular class or series of preferred stock, we will describe the specific terms of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus. The preferred stock will be issued under a certificate of designations relating to each class or series of preferred stock and is also subject to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
There are currently 150,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, of which 95,500 shares are designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 54,500 shares are designated as Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock. The issuance of additional series of preferred stock could make it more difficult or prevent a change of control of our company or the removal of our management. Additionally, the issuance of additional series of preferred stock may have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock. The rights of holders of our common stock described above are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of any preferred stock that our board of directors has or may designate and issue in the future.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holders into common stock at a conversion price of $2.82 (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to weighted average anti-dilution adjustments subject to limitations under the listing rules of The Nasdaq Global Market. The stated value of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ($100.00 per share) accretes at an annual rate of 7%, compounded quarterly and prior to the third anniversary of the original date of issuance, the holders may elect, pursuant to certain requirements, to receive the accretion in the form of a dividend of 7% per annum, payable quarterly in cash at the holder’s option through the third anniversary of the original date of issuance and thereafter such determination is at our option. Upon our failure to pay when due any amounts owed on the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the failure of a Purchaser designee to be nominated to our Board of Directors or such other trigger events as described in the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, the dividend rate shall be increased by an additional five percent (5%) per annum.
After the third anniversary of the original date of issuance, we can force conversion (“Mandatory Conversion”) of all, and not less than all, of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock into common stock as long as the closing price of our common stock is at least 250% of the Conversion Price for at least 20 of the 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the conversion and the average daily trading volume is greater than 50,000 shares per day over the 30 consecutive trading days immediately prior to such conversion. Our ability to cause a Mandatory Conversion is subject to certain other conditions as provided in the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of 100% of the accreted value for each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding on the date of a liquidation plus all accrued and unpaid dividends or the amount a holder would have been entitled to had the holder converted the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to the liquidation. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock votes together with the common stock as-if-converted on the original date of issuance. Holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to purchase their pro rata share of additional stock issuances in certain future financings.
In addition, if at any time when at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock issued are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of the stockholders required by law or by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including any Certificate of Designation, or our Amended and Restated Bylaws, we will not, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock: (i) amend, alter, waive or repeal any provision of our certificate of incorporation, including any certificate of designation, or bylaws in any manner that would adversely affect the rights, powers, preferences or privileges (economic or otherwise) of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, increase the authorized number of shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, or split, reverse split, subdivide, reclassify, combine or take other corporate actions having a similar effect with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock; (ii) issue any additional shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock; (iii) offer, sell or issue any equity or equity-linked securities senior to or on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; (iv) increase or decrease the size of our board of directors; (v) incur indebtedness (other than indebtedness that, when aggregated with all other indebtedness incurred since June 9, 2011 and then outstanding, is less than $4,000,000 when so aggregated); (vi) redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or offer to redeem, repurchase, or otherwise acquire any equity or equity-linked securities senior to or on parity with the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, other pursuant to certain employee or director incentive or benefit plans; (vii) distribute assets to our stockholders; (viii) enter into any transaction with any of our officers, directors or affiliates, other than (A) employment arrangements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices providing for annual base compensation and benefits not exceeding $200,000 in the aggregate, unless unanimously approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and (B) grants pursuant to equity incentive plans approved by our stockholders; (ix) adopt or amend any stockholder rights plan, poison pill or similar anti-takeover device; (x) sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any assets outside the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, except for assets with a purchase price, in the aggregate, of less than

$500,000; (xi) enter into any contract, agreement or other arrangement that would preclude us from making payment in full in cash on of the dividends on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock; or (xii) authorize, commit or agree (in writing or otherwise) to do any of the foregoing.
Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock
Prior to approval by the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting of Stockholders on August 22, 2011, holders of the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock did not have any voting rights and the stated value of the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock of $100.00 per share accreted at an annual rate of 10%, compounded quarterly. Following approval by the stockholders of the Company, the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock now has substantially identical terms to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock described immediately above.
Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock, a holder must issue a written request to the Company by June 15th of 2011, 2012, or 2013 to receive cash dividends for the applicable succeeding four fiscal quarters ending June 30th, September 30th, December 31st, and March 31st. The holders have elected in writing not to receive cash dividends for the fiscal quarters through June 30, 2013. Further, the holders have irrevocably waived their cash dividend rights for the four fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014, in accordance with the Company’s agreement with East West Bank executed on July 31, 2012, which prohibits the payment of cash dividends. The holders’ waiver of their cash dividend rights for the four fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2014, may be revoked if the Company’s obligations to East West Bank are terminated at any time prior to June 30, 2014. As of March 31, 2013, $2,047,583 in dividend accretion has accumulated on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the Series A Exchangeable Preferred Stock.
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law and Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Our Amended and Restated Bylaws
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law.   We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of our board of directors, the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner or the interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of our outstanding voting stock in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” and the sale of more than 10% of our assets. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws.   Provisions of our restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change of control or change in our management, including transactions in which stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our stockholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our common stock. Among other things, our restated certificate of incorporation and our bylaws:
  • Authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval (Article 4(b) of our restated certificate of incorporation);
  • Limit the ability of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders to only those stockholders holding at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at such a meeting (Article II, Section 2.04 of our amended and restated bylaws);
  • Provide that a director may be removed from office only at a special meeting duly called and held for such purpose and by the affirmative vote of the majority holders of our then outstanding common stock entitled to vote at an election of directors (Article III, Section 3.03 of our amended and restated bylaws); and

  • Provide that vacancies in the board of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office and not by stockholders (Article III, Section 3.03 of our amended and restated bylaws).
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification Matters
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a Delaware corporation, in its certificate of incorporation, may limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except for liability for any:
  • Breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;
  • Act or omission not in good faith or that involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  • Unlawful payment of dividends or redemption of shares; or
  • Transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145(a) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) because that person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, so long as the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(b) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to obtain a judgment in its favor because the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, so long as the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed was in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, except that no indemnification shall be permitted without judicial approval if a court has determined that the person is to be liable to the corporation with respect to such claim. If a present or former director or officer has been successful in defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify such officer or director against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL provides, in general, that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person, in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation could indemnify the person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.
We maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and officers against losses arising from claims made by reason of a breach of duty or other wrongful act. We are also a party to indemnification agreements with each of the members of our board of directors, dated June 9, 2011, which provide the directors with contractual protection against personal liability.

The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the DGCL and our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are exhibits to this registration statement.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements and free writing prospectuses, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, which may be issued in one or more series. Warrants may be offered independently or together with common stock offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from the shares of common stock. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.
We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement with a warrant agent to be selected by us. The warrant agent, if any, will act solely as an agent of ours in connection with the warrants and will not act as an agent for the holders or beneficial owners of the 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, the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, as applicable, that describes the terms of the particular series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements, as applicable, are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus related to the particular series of warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates, as applicable, that contain the terms of the warrants.
General
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms relating to a series of warrants, including:
  • the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered;
  • the currency for which the warrants may be purchased;
  • if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security;
  • if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable;
  • the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise;
  • the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreements and the warrants;
  • the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants;
  • any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants;
  • the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire;
  • the manner in which the warrant agreements and warrants may be modified;
  • United States federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants;
  • the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and
  • any other specific terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants.

Before exercising their warrants, holders of warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the shares of common stock purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive dividends, if any, or, payments upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or to exercise voting rights, if any.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase the securities that we specify in the applicable prospectus supplement at the exercise price that we describe in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
Holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate or agreement representing the warrants to be exercised together with specified information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent or the Company in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the warrant certificate or agreement and in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent or the Company.
Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate or agreement properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate are exercised, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or part of the exercise price for warrants.
Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Warrants
Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the securities purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
The following description, together with the additional information we may include in any applicable prospectus supplements, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. However, no prospectus supplement will fundamentally change the terms that are set forth in this prospectus or offer a security that is not registered and described in this prospectus at the time of its effectiveness.
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, the form of unit agreement that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering, and any supplemental agreements, before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material terms and provisions of the units are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement and any supplemental agreements applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the particular series of units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreement and any supplemental agreements that contain the terms of the units.
General
We may issue units comprised of one or more shares of common stock and warrants in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including:
  • the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
  • any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
  • any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock and Preferred Stock — Common Stock” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock or warrant included in each unit, respectively.
Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.
Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units
Each unit agent, if applicable, will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit may, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.
We, any unit agents and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary. See “Legal Ownership of Securities.”

LEGAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES
We can issue securities in registered form or in the form of one or more global securities. We describe global securities in greater detail below. We refer to those persons who have securities registered in their own names on the books that we or any applicable trustee or depositary or warrant agent maintain for this purpose as the “holders” of those securities. These persons are the legal holders of the securities. We refer to those persons who, indirectly through others, own beneficial interests in securities that are not registered in their own names, as “indirect holders” of those securities. As we discuss below, indirect holders are not legal holders, and investors in securities issued in book-entry form or in street name will be indirect holders.
Book-Entry Holders
We may issue securities in book-entry form only, as we will specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. This means securities may be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system. These participating institutions, which are referred to as participants, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.
Only the person in whose name a security is registered is recognized as the holder of that security. Global securities will be registered in the name of the depositary or its participants. Consequently, for global securities, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities, and we will make all payments on the securities to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.
As a result, investors in a global security will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositary’s book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form, investors will be indirect holders, and not legal holders, of the securities.
Street Name Holders
We may terminate a global security or issue securities that are not issued in global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in “street name.” Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.
For securities held in street name, we or any applicable trustee or depositary will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the securities are registered as the holders of those securities, and we or any such trustee or depositary will make all payments on those securities to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.
Legal Holders
Our obligations, as well as the obligations of any applicable trustee or third party employed by us or a trustee, run only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.
For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with its participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, we may want to obtain the approval of the holders to amend an indenture, to relieve us of the consequences of a default or

of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture, or for other purposes. In such an event, we would seek approval only from the legal holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether and how the holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.
Special Considerations for Indirect Holders
If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in book-entry form because the securities are represented by one or more global securities or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:
  • how it handles securities payments and notices;
  • whether it imposes fees or charges;
  • how it would handle a request for the holders’ consent, if ever required;
  • whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a holder, if that is permitted in the future;
  • how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and
  • if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositary’s rules and procedures will affect these matters.
Global Securities
A global security is a security that represents one or any other number of individual securities held by a depositary. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms.
Each security issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we issue to, deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution or its nominee that we select. The financial institution that we select for this purpose is called the depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.
A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary, its nominee or a successor depositary, unless special termination situations arise. We describe those situations below under “— Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated.” As a result of these arrangements, the depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and legal holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a legal holder of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.
If the prospectus supplement for a particular security indicates that the security will be issued as a global security, then the security will be represented by a global security at all times unless and until the global security is terminated. If termination occurs, we may issue the securities through another book-entry clearing system or decide that the securities may no longer be held through any book-entry clearing system.
Special Considerations for Global Securities
As an indirect holder, an investor’s rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investor’s financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities transfers. We do not recognize an indirect holder as a holder of securities and instead deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.

If securities are issued only as global securities, an investor should be aware of the following:
  • an investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name, and cannot obtain non-global certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below;
  • an investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe above;
  • an investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form;
  • an investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in the global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order for the pledge to be effective;
  • the depositary’s policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investor’s interest in the global security. We and any applicable trustee have no responsibility for any aspect of the depositary’s actions or for its records of ownership interests in the global security. We and the trustee also do not supervise the depositary in any way;
  • the depositary may, and we understand that DTC will, require that those who purchase and sell interests in the global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well; and
  • financial institutions that participate in the depositary’s book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in the global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and other matters relating to the securities. There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor and are not responsible for the actions of any of those intermediaries.
Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated
In a few special situations described below, a global security will terminate and interests in it will be exchanged for physical certificates representing those interests. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor. Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in securities transferred to their own names, so that they will be direct holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name investors above.
A global security will terminate when the following special situations occur:
  • if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within 90 days;
  • if we notify any applicable trustee that we wish to terminate that global security; or
  • if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and has not been cured or waived.
The applicable prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply only to the particular series of securities covered by the prospectus supplement. When a global security terminates, the depositary, and neither we nor any applicable trustee, is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions that will be the initial direct holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, or directly to one or more purchasers. A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:
  • the name or names of any underwriters, if any;
  • the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;
  • any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities from us;
  • any agency fees or underwriting discounts and other items constituting agents’ or underwriters’ compensation;
  • any public offering price;
  • any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and
  • any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.
Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.
If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We may use underwriters with whom we have a material relationship. We will describe in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, the nature of any such relationship.
We may sell securities directly or through agents we designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we will pay the agent in the prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, our agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us 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. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.
We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
All securities we offer, other than common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open

market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on The Nasdaq Global Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on The Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.
In compliance with guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
