Overview
We are a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel inhaled therapeutic products intended to prevent and treat respiratory and other diseases with significant unmet medical needs.
We design and develop inhaled therapeutic products based on our proprietary dry powder delivery technology, iSPERSE (inhaled Small Particles Easily Respirable and Emitted), which enables delivery of small or large molecule drugs to the lungs by inhalation for local or systemic applications. The iSPERSE powders are engineered to be small, dense particles with highly efficient dispersibility and delivery to airways. iSPERSE powders can be used with an array of dry powder inhaler technologies and can be formulated with a broad range of drug substances including small molecules and biologics. We believe the iSPERSE dry powder technology offers enhanced drug loading and delivery efficiency that outperforms traditional lactose-blend inhaled dry powder therapies. We believe the advantages of using the iSPERSE technology include reduced total inhaled powder mass, enhanced dosing efficiency, reduced cost of goods and improved safety and tolerability profiles. We are developing iSPERSE-based therapeutic candidates targeted at the prevention and treatment of a range of diseases, including allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in patients with asthma and in patients with cystic fibrosis, and lung cancer. We are also exploring iSPERSE based therapeutics in neurological diseases.
Recent Developments
COVID-19 Developments
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”), was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China and has reached multiple other countries, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in China and such other countries. On March 12, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent weeks. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common stock.
| 1 |
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and the Company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the global economy generally.
The COVID-19 pandemic directly impacted the Pulmazole Phase 2 clinical study by both causing certain trial sites to suspend enrolling patients or us voluntarily suspending enrollment at other sites, as described in more detail below. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impact on our business, our relationships with our business partners, our clinical trials or the global economy as a whole. However, any one or a combination of these events could have an adverse effect on the operation of and results from our clinical trials and on our other business operations.
Pulmazole
In July of 2019, we initiated a Phase 2 clinical investigation for Pulmazole, our inhaled formulation of itraconazole, an anti-fungal drug commercially available as an oral drug that we are developing to treat and prevent pulmonary fungal infections. To date, five subjects have completed the 28-day dosing regimen, receiving either 10 mg, 20 mg, or 35 mg of Pulmazole or placebo in a randomized, double-blind treatment assignment. In the first quarter of 2020, we initiated the process of establishing additional study sites and amending the study protocol.
Due to delays in patient enrollment in the Phase 2 clinical study, exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Cipla Technologies, LLC (“Cipla”), with whom we entered into a development and commercialization agreement on April 15, 2019 for the development and commercialization of Pulmazole, informed us that it desired to amend the current agreement. In connection with our renegotiation of this agreement, on July 10, 2020, the joint steering committee established by us and Cipla terminated the Phase 2 study in order to facilitate the commencement of a newly designed Phase 2b study that would supersede the prior Phase 2 study. The Phase 2b study design is anticipated to include up to 4 months of dosing and efficacy endpoints, whereas the terminated Phase 2 study was of 28-day duration with safety and tolerability as its primary endpoint. The longer dosing regimen of the Phase 2b study is supported by the recently completed 6-month inhalation toxicology study in dogs. We anticipate that the study will start (site activation) during Q3 2021 and that top line data is anticipated to be available 18 months subsequent to the study start, provided that the COVID-19 pandemic, or other events that cannot reasonably be predicted or are outside of our control, do not significantly impact regulatory approvals or study operations. While we have not yet entered into a definitive amendment with Cipla, we anticipate that, among other possible amendments, that we could bear a greater share of our employee overhead costs and the costs for consultants needed to run the Phase 2b study, which we currently share equally with Cipla. Additionally, we would bear the risk of any cost overruns related to employee overhead or consulting costs. We anticipate all other program expenses, such as clinical and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls costs, would continue to be shared equally between us and Cipla as per the current agreement.
In addition, we anticipate that we would grant Cipla the exclusive right to develop and commercialize Pulmazole, at Cipla’s sole expense, in India, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Iran, Yemen, Myanmar and Algeria, and that we would forego any royalty payments from the sale of Pulmazole in those countries (under our current agreement with Cipla we are entitled to one-half of worldwide net sales of Pulmazole).
If Cipla does not agree to initiate a new Phase 2b study or we and Cipla cannot agree on how the costs of the Phase 2b study should be allocated among us and Cipla, and Cipla does not continue funding its share of costs for our current Phase 2 clinical study, including its agreed upon shutdown, we may be forced to suspend the continued development of Pulmazole. Furthermore, our failure to successfully renegotiate the development and commercialization agreement with Cipla may result in the initiation of arbitration proceedings between us and Cipla. Any arbitration proceedings between and us and Cipla may have a negative impact on our business, including the diversion of management attention from our other product candidates or result in rulings from the arbitration panel that are adverse to our interests or the continued development of Pulmazole.
PUR 1800
Separately, we plan to initiate a Phase 1b study of PUR1800 in stable moderate-severe COPD patients in the second half of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic could delay this date or impact enrollment generally to the extent we cannot secure sites to enroll patients, patients remain or become subject to government “stay at home” mandates, patients feel like they cannot safely visit trial sites or patients drop out due to COVID-19 related issues.
Sensory Cloud Agreement
On April 9, 2020, we entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sensory Cloud, Inc. (“Sensory Cloud”). Under the terms of the Agreement, we have granted Sensory Cloud an exclusive, worldwide, royalty bearing license to PUR 003 and PUR 006, the Company’s proprietary aerosol salt solution for delivery or administration to or through the nasal passages also known as NasoCalm, as well as related patents and know-how, for use in the field (the “Sensory Licensed Product”).
Under the terms of the Agreement, Sensory Cloud may develop other over-the-counter (“OTC”) Sensory Licensed Products that contain other active pharmaceutical ingredients or therapeutic agents and combine the Sensory Licensed Product with one or more of Sensory Cloud’s proprietary delivery devices. In addition, we have granted Sensory Cloud an exclusive right of first refusal to any new OTC products in the field that may be developed by us.
In July 2020, we announced that Sensory Cloud plans to commence commercial sales of FEND in September 2020. FEND is the Sensory Cloud brand name for NasoCalm, an OTC nasal hygiene product that is comprised of sodium chloride and calcium chloride salts. NasoCALM was designed to provide, among other potential benefits, an ability to suppress the exhalation of droplets of airway lining fluid, which can transmit airborne infection.
Pulmatrix’s development data and additional data generated by Sensory Cloud utilizing its Nimbus delivery device were recently published in the Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics Discovery, demonstrating a reduction in airborne particles in exhaled air over time following FEND administration. Taken together, these data demonstrate that FEND provides potential hygienic benefit which may augment current social distancing and hygiene measures for addressing COVID-19 and other airborne pathogens.
The Company shall be entitled to royalties on net sales of Sensory Licensed Product in each country in which there is a valid claim of a patent within the licensed intellectual property covering the Sensory Licensed Product. Our rights to receive such royalties commence upon the first commercial sale of a Sensory Licensed Product in any such country and terminates upon the expiration of the last valid claim in such territory. The royalty rates are as follows: (1) 7% of net sales during calendar year 2020, (2) 14% of net sales during calendar year 2021, and (3) 17% of net sales during calendar year 2022 and each calendar year thereafter during the royalty term. In addition, the Company shall be entitled to receive a milestone payment of $1.0 million following the achievement of aggregate net sales of all Sensory Licensed Products of $20.0 million.
The Agreement shall terminate at such time that we would no longer be entitled to royalties because there are no longer any valid claims of a patent within the licensed intellectual property covering any Sensory Licensed Product. Upon there being no more such royalty payments owed by Sensory Cloud for a Sensory Licensed Product, the licenses granted by us to Sensory Cloud shall become fully-paid up, royalty free, perpetual, irrevocable and non-exclusive licenses to such Sensory Licensed Product. The Agreement may also be terminated earlier by Sensory Cloud for convenience and by Sensory Cloud or us for material breach or upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party.
Leases
On April 23, 2020, an extension to our operating lease for office and lab space of approximately 22 thousand square feet was signed between the Company and 99 Hayden LLC. The 5th amendment to the original lease executed on May 31, 2007 has a base rent of $1.2 million which is adjusted annually by 3%, and will expire on June 30, 2022.

Please also read carefully the section below entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to Our Business
The recent coronavirus outbreak has caused interruptions or delays of our clinical studies and may have a significant adverse effect on our business.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China and has reached multiple other countries, resulting in government-imposed quarantines, travel restrictions and other public health safety measures in China and such other countries. On March 12, 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant financial market volatility and uncertainty in recent weeks. A continuation or worsening of the levels of market disruption and volatility seen in the recent past could have an adverse effect on our ability to access capital, on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and on the market price of our common stock.
In July of 2019, we initiated a Phase 2 clinical investigation for Pulmazole, our inhaled formulation of itraconazole, an anti-fungal drug commercially available as an oral drug that we are developing to treat and prevent pulmonary fungal infections. To date, five subjects have completed the 28-day dosing regimen, receiving either 10 mg, 20 mg, or 35 mg of Pulmazole or placebo in a randomized, double-blind treatment assignment. In the first quarter of 2020, we initiated the process of establishing additional study sites and amending the study protocol in order to improve enrollment. However, as the COVID-19 pandemic escalated in late March and early April 2020, we were notified that 11 out of 21 clinical sites suspended enrollment in the Pulmazole study due to issues associated with COVID-19. Subsequently, we communicated with each of the remaining study sites as to their ability to ensure subject safety and completion of the study as per protocol. Following these discussions, we requested that each of these sites pause enrollment in the study pending further developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, the delay in patient enrollment due to COVID-19 have led to the termination of the Phase 2 clinical study of Pulmazole. For more discussion on the termination of the Phase 2 clinical study, see “—If our collaborators are not successful, we may not effectively develop and market some of our therapeutic candidates.”
Separately, we plan to initiate a Phase 1b study of PUR1800 in stable moderate-severe COPD patients in the second half of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic could delay this date or impact enrollment generally to the extent we cannot secure sites to enroll patients, patients remain or become subject to government “stay at home” mandates, patients feel like they cannot safely visit trial sites or patients drop out due to COVID-19 related issues.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has begun to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and the Company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other epidemic harms the global economy generally.
We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impact on our business, our relationship with our business partners, our clinical trials or the global economy as a whole. However, any one or a combination of these events could have an adverse effect on the operation of and results from our clinical trials and on our other business operations.
If collaborations are not successful, we may not effectively develop and market some of our therapeutic candidates.
We have entered into co-development agreements regarding two of our therapeutic candidates and, as a result, no longer have complete control over the development of these candidates. If our collaborators do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may be delayed or may not obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates. If our relationships with these collaborators terminate, we believe that we would be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties. However, replacing any of these collaborators could delay our clinical trials and could jeopardize our ability to obtain regulatory approvals and commercialize our product candidates on a timely basis, if at all. On April 15, 2019, we entered into a Development and Commercialization Agreement (the “Cipla Agreement”) with Cipla for the co-development and commercialization, on a worldwide exclusive basis, of Pulmazole. Due to delays in patient enrollment in the Phase 2 clinical study, exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Cipla informed us that it desires to amend the Cipla Agreement. Accordingly, on July 10, 2020, the joint steering committee established by us and Cipla terminated the Phase 2 study. We are currently renegotiating the terms of the amendment to the Cipla Agreement to initiate a new Phase 2b clinical study. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renegotiate the Cipla Agreement on favorable terms, or at all. If Cipla does not agree to initiate a new Phase 2b study or we and Cipla cannot agree on how the costs of such new Phase 2b study should be allocated among us and Cipla, we may be forced to suspend the continued development of Pulmazole. In addition, our failure to successfully renegotiate the Cipla Agreement may result in the initiation of arbitration proceedings between us and Cipla. Any arbitration proceedings between and us and Cipla may have a negative impact on our business, including the diversion of management attention from our other product candidates or result in rulings from the arbitration panel that are adverse to our interests or the continued development of Pulmazole.

The selling stockholders named in the table below may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement up to 10,741,314 shares of common stock. This reflects the aggregate number of shares of common stock into which the Warrants are exercisable.
July 2020 Warrant Exercise (the “Exercise”)
On July 9, 2020, we entered into letter agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) with certain existing accredited investors to exercise certain outstanding warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,085,741 shares of the Company’s common stock at the existing exercise price per share of $1.35. The Existing Warrants were issued in an underwritten public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-230395) and an additional registration statement on Form S-1 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (File No. 333-230714) that was consummated in April 2019. In consideration for the exercise of the Existing Warrants for cash, the exercising holders received New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,085,741 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.80 per share and with an exercise period of five years from the initial closing date. The initial closing of the Exercise took place on July 13, 2020. The New Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate on July 14, 2025. A holder of a New Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%. The issuance of the New Warrants and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
| 6 |
Placement Agent Warrants
On April 16, 2020, we entered into an engagement letter (the “Engagement Letter”) with Wainwright, pursuant to which the we agreed to issue Wainwright (or its designees) the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 655,573 shares of our common stock, which is equal to 6.5% of the aggregate number of shares issued to the investors upon the Exercise. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $2.25 per share and otherwise have identical terms to the New Warrants. The exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants is subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation; provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to us, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%. The Placement Agent Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants were not registered under the Securities Act and were offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Relationships with the Selling Stockholders
Each of Intracoastal Capital, LLC (“Intracoastal”), Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. (“Sabby”) and the funds to which Empery Asset Management, LP serves as the investment manager (the “Empery Funds”) have participated in our financings.
Intracoastal, Sabby and the Empery Funds participated in our underwritten public offering that closed on April 3, 2018, pursuant to which we issued and sold to such selling stockholders common units, with each common unit being comprised of one share of our common stock, one Series A Warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Series B Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, and/or pre-funded units, with each pre-funded unit being comprised of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, one Series A Warrant and one Series B Warrant.

Information About Selling Stockholder Offering
The following table sets forth the number and percentage of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of August 7, 2020, taking into account the number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus and the number and percentage of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all of the shares covered hereby are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days.
The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned after the offering assumes that the selling stockholders has exercised their Warrants in full without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation as applicable for the exercise of the Warrants and further assumes the sale of all shares being offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The percentage of shares owned after the offering is based on 34,407,483 shares of common stock outstanding as of August 7, 2020 and based on the assumption that the selling stockholder has exercised its Warrants in full and therefore that all shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such Warrants were outstanding as of that date. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that the selling stockholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned.
The number of shares in the column “Maximum Number of Shares Offered” represents all of the shares of common stock that the selling stockholders may offer under this prospectus. Under the terms of the Series B Warrants, the 2019 Investor Warrants, the 2020 Investor Warrants and the Warrants, a selling stockholder may not exercise such warrants to the extent such exercise would cause the selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such exercise. The number of shares in the first, second and third numerical columns does not reflect these limitations. The fourth numerical column lists the percentage of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, taking account of any limitations on exercise set forth in the applicable warrants. The third and fourth numerical columns assume the sale of all the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus and that the selling stockholders do not acquire any additional shares of common stock before the completion of this offering. However, because the selling stockholders may sell all or some of their shares under this prospectus from time to time, or in another permitted manner, we cannot assure you as to the actual number of shares that will be sold by the selling stockholders or that will be held by the selling stockholders after completion of any sales. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of their shares in this offering. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares.
As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes the selling stockholders set forth below and any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock received after the date of this prospectus from the selling stockholders as a gift, pledge, or other non-sale related transfer.

Unless approval of our stockholders is so required, our board of directors does not intend to seek stockholder approval for the issuance and sale of our common stock or preferred stock.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. Our directors are divided into three classes. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire are elected for a term of office to expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of stockholders after their election. The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.
The foregoing description summarizes important terms of our capital stock, but is not complete. For the complete terms of our common stock, please refer to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, any certificates of designation for our preferred stock, and our restated bylaws, as amended, as may be amended from time to time.
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Vstock Transfer, LLC. The transfer agent’s address is 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, NY 11598. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PULM.”
The selling stockholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer some or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein:
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| ● | an over-the-counter distribution; |
| ● | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| ● | privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | short sales effected after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| ● | a combination of any such methods of sale; or |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
| 10 |
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of the selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee, or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
Broker-dealers engaged by a selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If a selling stockholder effects certain transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with applicable FINRA rules; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with applicable FINRA rules.
The aggregate proceeds to a selling stockholder from the sale of the common stock offered by it will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the name of the selling stockholder, the purchase price and public offering price, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
The selling stockholders and any other person participating in a sale of the common stock registered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
