SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MAY 3, 2021

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

 

PROSPECTUS FOR

20,251,852 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

OF

KALEYRA INC.

 

 

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to (a) 8,400,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Parent Common Stock”), of Kaleyra Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Kaleyra” or the “Company”), which are expected to be issued in a private placement pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreements (as defined below), and (b) up to 11,851,852 shares of Parent Common Stock which are expected to be issued upon conversion of our 6.125% Convertible Notes (as defined below), each in connection with, and as part of the consideration for, the Merger (as described below). If the Merger is not consummated, the shares of Parent Common Stock registered pursuant to this prospectus will not be issued.

On February 18, 2021, Kaleyra, Volcano Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Kaleyra (“Merger Sub”), and Vivial Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vivial”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Kaleyra, Merger Sub, Vivial and GSO Special Situations Master Fund LP, an exempted limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands solely in its capacity as Stockholder Representative (“Stockholder Representative”), for the acquisition of the business owned by Vivial known as mGage (“mGage”), a leading global mobile messaging provider. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Vivial would merger with and into Merger Sub, with Vivial surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kaleyra.

In support of the consummation of the Merger, on February 18, 2021, Kaleyra entered into subscription agreements (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”), each dated February 18, 2021, with certain institutional investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, Kaleyra agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, an aggregate of 8,400,000 shares (the “PIPE Shares”) of Parent Common Stock to the PIPE Investors at $12.50 per share, and Kaleyra also entered into convertible note subscription agreements (the “Convertible Note Subscription Agreements”), each dated February 18, 2021, with certain institutional investors (the “Convertible Note Investors”), pursuant to which Kaleyra agreed to issue and sell, in private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% unsecured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”). The issuance of the Convertible Notes, together with the issuance of the PIPE Shares, constitutes the “Financing.” The shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Financing are the subject of this prospectus.

In connection with the Merger, Vivial will form a wholly-owned subsidiary (“SpinCo”), into which it will transfer two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vivial Mobile LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Vivial Media LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (the “Reorganization”). Following the Reorganization, Vivial will cause its stockholders to receive on a pro rata basis 100% of the shares of SpinCo common stock (the “Distribution”, and the Distribution together with the Reorganization is referred to as the “Separation”). As a result of and following the Separation, Vivial will solely own the business of mGage immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

Kaleyra will acquire mGage for a total purchase price of approximately $215 million, subject to adjustments. The consideration to mGage shareholders will consist of cash in the amount of $195 million and an additional $20 million in consideration paid through the issuance of 1,600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock at $12.50 per share. The Merger is expected to be consummated in the second fiscal quarter of 2021.

The Selling Stockholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock registered hereby publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will pay certain offering fees and expenses and fees in connection with the registration of their Parent Common Stock and will not receive proceeds from the sale of the shares of Parent Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders. The Kaleyra Common Stock is currently listed on the NYSE American stock exchange (“NYSE American”) under the symbol “KLR.” Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, we intend to apply to list the shares of our Common Stock to be issued to the Vivial equity holders under the Merger Agreement, as well as our shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Financing, on the NYSE American under the same symbol. It is a condition to consummation of the Merger Agreement described above that Kaleyra receives confirmation from the NYSE American that the securities to be issued under the Merger Agreement and as part of the Financing have been conditionally approved for listing on the NYSE American, but there can be no assurance such listing conditions will be met or that Kaleyra will obtain such confirmation from the NYSE American. If such listing conditions are not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Merger Agreement described above may not be consummated unless the NYSE American condition set forth in the Merger Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.

We are an “emerging growth company” under applicable federal securities laws and will be subject to reduced public company reporting requirements.

Parties to the Merger

The Company

We are a Delaware corporation formerly known as GigCapital, Inc., and as a result of our business combination with Kaleyra S.p.A. on November 25, 2019, we changed our name to Kaleyra, Inc.

Kaleyra provides its customers and business partners with a trusted cloud communications platform (the “Platform”) that seamlessly integrates software services and applications for business-to-consumer communications between Kaleyra’s customers and their end-user customers and partners on a global basis. The demand for cloud communications is increasingly driven by the growing, and often mandated, need for enterprises to undertake a digital transformation that includes omnichannel, mobile-first interactive end-user customer communications. This complements new workflows that Kaleyra’s customers have developed which are driven by software and artificial intelligence to automate certain end-user customer-facing processes before, during and after transactions. These communications are increasingly managed through mobile network operators as the gateway to reach end-user consumers’ mobile devices. Kaleyra’s Platform enables these communications by integrating mobile alert notifications and interactive capabilities to reach and engage end-user customers. Kaleyra’s Platform couples a “Software as a Service” or SaaS business model, creating what is generally referred to as a “cloud communications platform as a service”, or simply CPaaS.

Kaleyra is a result of the expansion of the former Ubiquity, which was founded in Milan, Italy in 1999. Ubiquity secured a leading market position in mobile messaging on behalf of the Italian financial services industry and then sought to expand its products and geographic offerings. Ubiquity acquired Solutions Infini of Bangalore, India in 2017 and Buc Mobile of Vienna, Virginia in 2018. It was rebranded as Kaleyra S.p.A. in February 2018. Following the integration of the acquired entities, the combined company is collectively engaged in the operation of the Platform on behalf of Kaleyra’s customers.

The mailing address of the Company’s principal executive office is c/o Kaleyra Inc., Via Marco D’Aviano, 2, Milano MI, Italy.

Additional information regarding the Company can be found in Item 1 (“Business”) in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 16, 2021, a copy of which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Merger Sub

Merger Sub, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, formed by the Company in February 2021 to consummate the Merger. In the Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into Vivial, with Vivial continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

The mailing address of Merger Sub’s principal executive office is Via Marco D’Aviano, 2, Milano MI, Italy.

Vivial

Vivial Networks, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Vivial, was formed to invest in and acquire digital marketing companies. On August 21, 2015, Vivial Networks completed the acquisition of mGage. mGage is a global mobile engagement provider which enables brands to intelligently personalize mobile communications for the omni-channel consumer, across marketing and customer care interactions, primarily through SMS and MMS text marketing and engagement campaigns. Currently, mGage provides these services in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia with plans for further global expansion

Table of Contents

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, the Company is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and the requirement to obtain stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. The Company has elected to take advantage of such extended transition period.

The Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2025 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer,” as defined in the Exchange Act, and (4) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt during the prior three-year period.

In connection with the Merger, Vivial will form a wholly-owned subsidiary (“SpinCo”), into which it will transfer two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vivial Mobile LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Vivial Media LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (the “Reorganization”). Following the Reorganization, Vivial will cause its stockholders to receive on a pro rata basis 100% of the shares of SpinCo common stock (the “Distribution”, and the Distribution together with the Reorganization is referred to as the “Separation”). As a result of and following the Separation, Vivial will solely own the business of mGage immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

Merger Consideration to the Vivial Stockholders

At the Effective Time, each share of Vivial Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Vivial Common Stock resulting from the conversion of restricted stock units prior to the Effective Time) will be cancelled and converted into and will thereafter represent the right to receive, without interest, in accordance with a schedule to be delivered by Vivial prior to the closing of the Merger, (i) the Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration plus (ii) such share’s Allocable Share of any Adjustment Amount distributed pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Adjustment Escrow Amount in accordance with an escrow agreement to be established for the Adjustment Escrow Amount plus (iii) its Allocable Share of any amount from the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund distributed.

The Convertible Note Investors have agreed to purchase an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 of Convertible Notes. The ownership percentage with respect to the Company following the Merger does not take into account (i) warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Merger, (ii) conversion of any of the Convertible Notes, or (iii) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Merger under the Incentive Plan. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company as a result of the Merger will be different. For more information, please see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial InformationDescription of the Merger” on page 16.

Risk Factors

You should carefully review and consider the risk factors set forth under the section included as Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and Item 3 (Risk Factors) in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on April 5, 2021), each of which are incorporated herein by reference. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in that section, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company and Vivial to complete the Merger and the Financing.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected and projected. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this prospectus, including those incorporated by reference from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, including, without limitation, statements in the section of the Annual Report entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “seek” and variations and similar words and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance, but reflect management’s current beliefs, based on information currently available. A number of factors could cause actual events, performance or results to differ materially from the events, performance and results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Actual results and stockholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and Merger risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and stockholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

All such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “anticipates,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predicts,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus include, but are not limited to, statements about the:

 

   

benefits from the Merger;

 

   

ability to complete an initial Merger, including the Merger;

 

   

future financial performance following the Merger;

 

   

success in retaining or recruiting, or changes required in, our officers, key employees or directors following an initial Merger;

 

   

officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with the Company’s business or in approving our initial Merger, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements;

 

   

public securities’ potential liquidity and trading; and

 

   

impact from the outcome of any known and unknown litigation.

RISK FACTORS

Pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, Item 1A (Risk Factors) of Kaleyra’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 as well as Item 3 of Kaleyra’s Form S-4 filed April 5, 2021 is incorporated herein by reference.

Certain of our warrants may be accounted for as a warrant liability and may be recorded at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings, which may have an adverse effect on the market price of Parent Common Stock.

We have 373,692 warrants that were issued in private placements that occurred concurrently with our initial public offering (the “private warrants”). These private warrants and the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the private warrants are exercisable for cash or on a cashless basis, at the holder’s option, and are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, in which case the 373,692 private warrants could be redeemed by the Company for $3,737. Under U.S. GAAP, we are required to evaluate contingent exercise provisions of these warrants and then their settlement provisions to determine whether they should be accounted for as a warrant liability or as equity. Any settlement amount not equal to the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of our equity shares and a fixed monetary amount precludes these warrants from being considered indexed to our own stock, and therefore, from being accounted for as equity. As a result of the provision that the private warrants, when held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, will be redeemable by the Company, the requirements for accounting for these warrants as equity are not satisfied. Therefore, we will account for these private warrants as a warrant liability and record (a) that liability at fair value, which we have determined as the same as the fair value of the warrants included in the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering, and (b) any subsequent changes in fair value as of the end of each period for which earnings are reported. As the fair value of the warrants is not considered material to the historical consolidated financial statements, we have chosen to revise the historical financial statements in future filings starting with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. The impact of changes in fair value on earnings may have an adverse effect on the market price of Parent Common Stock.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On February 18, 2021, Kaleyra and Vivial executed the Merger Agreement for the acquisition by Kaleyra of the business owned by Vivial known as mGage.

For the purpose of the preparation of this unaudited pro forma combined financial information the historical financial information of mGage has been derived from the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Vivial Networks LLC (“Vivial Networks”), a subsidiary of Vivial, which, together with its subsidiaries, substantially represents the operations of mGage.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Kaleyra as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Vivial Networks as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, as adjusted to give effect to the following transactions (together, the “Transactions”):

 

   

The Merger;

 

   

The issuance of PIPE Shares;

 

   

The issuance of the Convertible Notes;

 

   

The payment by Kaleyra of the Merger Consideration to Vivial equity holders (as further described below); and

 

   

The payment by Kaleyra of certain fees, expenses and other amounts associated with the Merger.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 (the “pro forma combined balance sheet”) gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Pro forma combined statement of operations”) gives effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not necessarily reflect what the combined company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been, had the Merger occurred on the dates indicated. It also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial condition and results of operations of the combined company may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited)

 

1.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been derived from the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Kalerya as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 and the audited historical consolidated financial statements of Vivial Networks as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain Vivial Networks historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the Kaleyra’s financial statement presentation.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. In addition, the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations was used in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with Kaleyra treated as the acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the fair value of the purchase consideration, will be determined as of the closing date of the Merger when Kaleyra obtains control of Vivial Networks. The purchase price will be allocated to the underlying assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The preliminary pro forma purchase price allocation was based on the fair value of the estimated Merger Consideration (as described below) and preliminary estimates of the fair values of the acquired assets and liabilities assumed. In arriving at the estimated fair values, Kaleyra has considered the estimates of independent valuation professionals, which were based on preliminary and limited reviews of the assets related to mGage. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial combined information, and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair values as of the closing of the Merger. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final Merger accounting may have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma combined financial information and the post-Merger company’s future results of operations and financial position.

Kaleyra and Vivial have not had any historical relationship prior to the Merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

2.

The Merger

Estimated Merger Consideration

As per the Merger Agreement, the Merger Consideration shall consist of cash consideration and Parent Common Stock. In particular, the Common Stock Consideration shall be paid with the issuance of a total of 1,600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock. The remainder of the Merger Consideration shall be paid in cash (Cash Consideration).

The estimated Merger Consideration may be adjusted for customary adjustments in respect of the cash, indebtedness, and net working capital as of the closing of the Merger, as well as an adjustment on the basis of the stock price of Parent Common Stock as of the closing date of the Merger. These adjustments, if any, will affect the estimated Merger Consideration.

 

21


Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the components of the estimated Merger Consideration:

 

(in thousands, except share data)

   Shares      Kalerya
share price as of
March 15, 2021
        

Estimated Cash Consideration (1)

         $ 195,000  

Estimated fair value of Parent Common Stock to be issued to Vivial equity holders (2)

     1,600,000        17.63      $ 28,208  
        

 

 

 

Estimated Merger Consideration

         $ 223,208  
        

 

 

 

 

(1)

Amount subject to adjustment upon finalization of the net working capital adjustment.

(2)

1,600,000 shares of newly issued Parent Common Stock will be issued as pursuant to the Merger Agreement to the Vivial equity holders. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet, the estimated value of Parent Common Stock for the Merger Consideration is based upon the $17.63 per share closing Parent Common Stock price as of March 15, 2021. The final Merger Consideration at closing may change materially from the amount shown. A 15% change in the closing price per share of Parent Common Stock would increase or decrease the estimated Merger Consideration by approximately $4,231,000.

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

The table below represents the preliminary purchase price allocation as if the Merger had been completed on December 31, 2020:

The preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare the Merger pro forma adjustment (See Note 6). The purchase price allocation will be finalized following the effective date of the Merger when the valuation analysis is complete. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the Merger pro forma adjustment.

 

3.

Accounting Policies and Reclassifications

For the purpose of the preparation of this unaudited pro forma combined financial information, Kaleyra performed a preliminary assessment of Vivial Networks’ financial information to identify differences in accounting policies in financial statements presentation as compared to those of Kaleyra. At the time of preparing

 

22


Table of Contents

this unaudited pro forma combined financial information, Kaleyra has not identified all the proper reclassifications necessary to conform Vivial Networks’ accounting policies to Kaleyra’s accounting policies. Following the Merger, the combined company will finalize the review of accounting policies, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information presented herein.

No reclassifications were made to present Vivial Networks’ balance sheet as of December 31, 2020 to conform with that of Kaleyra.

Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassifications made to present Vivial Networks’ statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 to conform with that of Kaleyra:

4.

Closing cash pro forma adjustment

As per the Merger Agreement, closing cash shall not exceed $7,000,000 and the final Cash Consideration will be adjusted for any residual cash amount. For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, Kaleyra has assumed closing cash equal to zero and the estimated Cash Consideration equal to $195,000,000. Kaleyra has assumed the reduction of cash will be accounted for as an equity distribution. Vivial Networks final closing cash may differ from that presented in the pro forma combined financial information; the estimated Cash Consideration will be adjusted accordingly.

 

5.

Financing pro forma adjustment

The following summarizes the pro forma adjustments related to the Financing. Proceeds from the Financing include:

 

  (i)

Proceeds from the issue and sale by Kaleyra (to be completed immediately prior to the closing of the Merger), of an aggregate of 8,400,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”) to certain institutional investors (the “PIPE Investors”) at $12.50 per share, pursuant to the subscription agreements dated February 18, 2021 (the “PIPE Subscription Agreements”); and

 

  (ii)

Proceeds from the issue in a private placement (to be completed immediately prior to the closing of the Merger), of $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) to certain institutional investors. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable semi-annually, and will be convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock at a conversion price of $16.875 per share in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, and will mature five years after their issuance.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been presented on a net basis, where applicable. The combined company’s ability to use NOLs to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes is subject to limitations. In general, under Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change NOLs to offset future taxable income. As of the date hereof, Kaleyra has not made a final determination of the ability to utilize all tax attributes, which determination will be subject to a formal Section 382 analysis upon consummation of the Merger.

Pro forma loss per common share

Pro forma loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been calculated based on the estimated weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a pro forma basis, as described below. The pro forma weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been calculated as if the shares issued in the Transactions had been issued and outstanding on January 1, 2020. The following table sets forth the computation of pro forma weighted average common and diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2020:

Kaleyra’s historical consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 was in a net loss position, thus Kaleyra’s stock awards and outstanding warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There is no adjustment for the dilutive impact of stock awards and outstanding warrants in the pro forma combined financial information due to the combined results being in a net loss position.

THE MERGER

Structure of the Merger

On February 18, 2021, the Company, Merger Sub and Vivial entered into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and Vivial will enter into the Merger whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into Vivial in the Merger, with Vivial surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, termination provisions and other terms relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement is summarized below.

The Merger will be consummated by the filing of a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and will be effective immediately upon such filing or upon such later time as may be agreed by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time of the filing of such Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties to the Merger Agreement and specified in such Certificate of Merger) being the “Effective Time”). The Certificate of Merger will be filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three (3) business days, after the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, it being understood that the occurrence of the Closing shall remain subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of such conditions at the Closing). The parties will hold the Closing immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger. The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to as the Closing Date.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

The below description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the actual agreement, a copy of which is filed on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021 and is incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings given to them in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Kaleyra, Vivial, mGage or Merger Sub. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about Kaleyra, Merger Sub or Vivial at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Kaleyra makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Merger

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Kaleyra will acquire mGage through the Merger of Merger Sub with and into Vivial, with Vivial surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Kaleyra. In connection with the Merger, Vivial will form a wholly-owned subsidiary (“SpinCo”), into which it will transfer two other wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vivial Mobile LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Vivial Media LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (the “Reorganization”). Following the Reorganization, Vivial will cause its stockholders to receive on a pro rata basis 100% of the shares of SpinCo common stock (the “Distribution”, and the Distribution together with the Reorganization is referred to as the “Separation”). As a result of and following the Separation, Vivial will solely own the business of mGage immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger.

At the Effective Time, each share of Vivial Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including shares of Vivial Common Stock resulting from the conversion of restricted stock units

The “Estimated Merger Consideration” is the estimated calculation of the Merger Consideration that will be made by Vivial two business days prior to the anticipated date of closing of the Merger (the “Closing Date”) using the formula set forth in the prior sentence. The “Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration” means an amount equal to (x) the Closing Payment divided by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Vivial Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held in the Vivial’s treasury or by Kaleyra or Merger Sub).

Note Subscription Agreements and Indenture

On February 18, 2021, Kaleyra also entered into the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, each dated February 18, 2021, with certain institutional investors (the “Note Investors”), pursuant to which Kaleyra agreed to issue and sell, in a private placements to close immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, $200,000,000 aggregate principal amount of unsecured Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are to be issued under an indenture to be entered into in connection with the closing of the Merger, between Kaleyra and Wilmington Trust, National Association, a national banking association, in its capacity as trustee thereunder (the “Indenture”).

Kaleyra may, at its election, force conversion of the Convertible Notes after (i) first anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the last reported sale price of the Parent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter and (ii) the second anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the last reported sale price of the Parent Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if Kaleyra forces a mandatory conversion, Kaleyra will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such a corporate event or has its Convertible Notes mandatorily converted, as the case may be. In addition, in the event that a holder of the Convertible Notes elects to convert its Convertible Notes prior to the third anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, Kaleyra will be obligated to pay an amount equal to twelve months of interest, or if on or after such third anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, any remaining amounts that would be owed to, but excluding, the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes (the “Interest Make-Whole Payment”). The Interest Make-Whole Payment will be payable in cash or shares of the Parent Common Stock as set forth in the Indenture.

Kaleyra will be obligated to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes. Kaleyra agreed that, prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “Convertible Note Resale Registration Filing Deadline”), Kaleyra will file with the SEC a registration statement (the “Convertible Note Resale Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes (the “Convertible Note Registrable Securities”), and Kaleyra will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Convertible Note Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the 60th calendar day (or 90th calendar day if the SEC notifies Kaleyra that it will “review” the Convertible Note Resale Registration Statement) following the Convertible Note Resale Registration Filing Deadline.

The foregoing description of the Convertible Note Subscription Agreements, the Indenture and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the agreed upon form of Convertible Note Subscription Agreements and Indenture, copies of which are filed with Kaleyra’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 18, 2021 as Exhibits 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Total Company Shares Following the Merger and the Financing

We anticipate that, upon completion of the Merger and the Financing, the ownership of the Company will be as follows1:

 

   

the former Vivial equity holders will own 1,600,000 shares of Parent Common Stock, representing a 3.9% interest;

 

   

there will be 12,780,483 Insider Shares issued to our directors and our executive officers or any of their affiliates;

 

   

the existing public stockholders will own 18,149,634 shares of Parent Common Stock, representing a 44.3% interest; and

 

   

the PIPE Investors will own 8,400,000 shares of Parent Common Stock, representing a 20.5% interest.

The ownership percentage with respect to the Company following the Merger and the Financing does not take into account (i) warrants to purchase Parent Common Stock that will remain outstanding immediately following the Merger, (ii) conversion of any of the Convertible Notes or (iii) the issuance of any shares upon completion of the Merger under the Incentive Plan. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the percentage ownership retained by the Company’s existing stockholders in the Company will be different. As a result of the Merger, the economic and voting interests of our public stockholders will decrease.

Please read “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.

Board of Directors of Vivial Following the Merger

Upon the Closing Date, we anticipate that the Vivial Board will consist of the members of the Board of Merger Sub, all of whom are current officers of the Company.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The Parent Common Stock being offered by the Selling Stockholders are those previously issued to the Selling Stockholders, and those issuable to the Selling Stockholders, upon exercise of the Convertible Notes. We are registering the shares of Parent Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. For additional information regarding the issuance of those shares of Parent Common Stock see “The Merger—Financing” above. Except as disclosed in the footnotes, the Selling Stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued to the PIPE Investors covered by this prospectus will be acquired by the PIPE Investors concurrently with, or immediately prior to, the Closing. The Convertible Notes will be convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock at a conversion price of $16.875 per share of Parent Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and will mature five years after their issuance. In addition, Kaleyra may, at its election, force conversion of the Convertible Notes after (i) first anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the last reported sale price of the Parent Common Stock exceeds 150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter and (ii) the second anniversary of the issuance of the Convertible Notes, subject to a holder’s prior right to convert, if the last reported sale price of the Parent Common Stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. See “The Merger – The Financing” for additional information regarding the terms relating to the issuance of the PIPE Shares and conversion of the Convertible Notes into shares of Parent Common Stock.

The table below lists the Selling Stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of Parent Common Stock by each of the Selling Stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of Parent Common Stock and any derivative securities convertible into shares of Common Stock, as of May 1, 2021, assuming conversion of all Convertible Notes held by the Selling Stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on convertibility.

The third column lists the shares of Parent Common Stock being offered by this prospectus by the Selling Stockholders.

In accordance with the terms of the PIPE Subscription Agreement or Convertible Note Subscription Agreement (together with the Indenture), as the case may be, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the PIPE Investors and upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes, determined as if the outstanding PIPE Shares are issued, and the Convertible Notes converted in full, as applicable, as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

The Selling Stockholders are not making any representation that any shares of Parent Common Stock covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. Because each Selling Stockholder may dispose of all, none or some portion of the shares of Parent Common Stock covered by this prospectus, no estimate can be given as to the number of shares that will be beneficially owned by a Selling Stockholder upon termination of this offering. In addition, the Selling Stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of their shares of Parent Common Stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which the information in the table is presented. For purposes of the table below, however, we have assumed that after termination of this offering, none of the shares of Parent Common Stock registered for resale under this prospectus will be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholders, and we have further assumed that the Selling

Stockholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional shares of Parent Common Stock during this offering.

To our knowledge, the Selling Stockholders have held no position or office or had any other material relationship with us or any of our affiliates or predecessors during the past three years.

Subject to certain limitations, the Company is entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Selling Stockholder not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by the Company or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, the Company’s Board of Directors reasonably believes, upon the advice of external legal counsel, would require additional disclosure by the Company in the Registration Statement of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of the Company’s Board of Directors, upon the advice of external legal counsel, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements. See the forms of PIPE Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Note Subscription Agreement included as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2021 and incorporated by reference herein. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation. The Selling Stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each Selling Stockholder of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the NYSE or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

 

   

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

   

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities 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 exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

   

privately negotiated transactions;

 

   

settlement of short sales;

 

   

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

 

   

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

   

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

   

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the securities 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 securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities 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 create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

49


Table of Contents

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect, and (iii) the date which is three years after the Closing. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Parent Common Stock. This discussion is limited to holders that hold Parent Common Stock as a “capital asset” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This summary is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rules and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect holders to which this section applies. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following discussion, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or Kaleyra will agree with such statements and conclusions.

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects resulting from the ownership and disposition of Parent Common Stock, and this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their personal circumstances. In addition, this summary does not address the Medicare tax on certain investment income, U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or any tax treaties. This summary also does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

 

   

banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

 

   

tax-exempt or governmental organizations;

 

   

qualified foreign pension funds (or any entities all of the interests of which are held by a qualified foreign pension fund);

 

   

brokers or dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

 

   

U.S. persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

   

“controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;

 

   

traders in securities that use the mark-to-market method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

 

   

persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

 

   

partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

 

   

persons deemed to sell Parent Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

 

   

persons that acquired Parent Common Stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

 

   

real estate investment trusts;

 

   

regulated investment companies;

 

   

certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; and

 

   

persons that hold Parent Common Stock as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds Parent Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner

Table of Contents

level. Accordingly, we urge partners in partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holding Parent Common Stock to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them relating to the matters discussed below.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to “U.S. holders” of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. holder” is a beneficial owner of shares of Parent Common Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

   

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

   

a corporation (or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

 

   

an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

 

   

a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) which has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Distributions on Parent Common Stock

If we pay cash distributions to U.S. holders of shares of Parent Common Stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in Parent Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock and will be treated as described under “—Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Common Stock” below.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. holder that is a corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction (at varying percentages based upon such U.S. holder’s ownership percentage in the Company) if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains.

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Parent Common Stock

Upon a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of Parent Common Stock, a U.S. holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Parent Common Stock. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for shares of Parent Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Generally, the amount of gain

 

52


Table of Contents

or loss recognized by a U.S. holder is an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Parent Common Stock so disposed of.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments received by a U.S. holder may be subject, under certain circumstances, to information reporting and backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. holder that (i) is a corporation or entity that is otherwise exempt from backup withholding (which, when required, certifies as to its exempt status) or (ii) furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes any other required certification on IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to “Non-U.S. holders” of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. holder” is any beneficial owner of Parent Common Stock that is neither a U.S. holder nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Distributions on Our Common Stock

In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. holder of shares of Parent Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an applicable IRS Form W-8). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of Parent Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Parent Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “—Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Parent Common Stock” below.

This withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder who provides a Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the Non-U.S. holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Non-U.S. corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate). In addition, if we determine that we are likely to be classified as a USRPHC (see “—Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Parent Common Stock ” below), we may withhold up to 15% of any distribution to a Non-U.S. holder to which Section 301 of the Code applies and which is not made out of our earnings and profits.

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Parent Common Stock

Subject to the discussions below under “Non-U.S. Holders—Information Reporting and Backup Withholding” and “Non-U.S. Holders—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” a Non-U.S. holder generally

 

53


Table of Contents

should not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of any gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Common Stock, unless:

 

   

the Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met;

 

   

the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States); or

 

   

we are or have been a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. holder held Parent Common Stock, and, in the case where shares of Parent Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of Parent Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the shares of Parent Common Stock.

A Non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount of such gain, which generally may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

A Non-U.S. holder whose gain is described in the second bullet point above generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons (as defined in the Code) unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If the Non-U.S. holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose gain is described in the second bullet point above, then such gain would also be included in its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which may be subject to a branch profits tax (at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

If the third bullet point above applies to a Non-U.S. holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of Parent Common Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of Parent Common Stock from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We do not believe we currently are a USRPHC and we do not anticipate becoming one in the near future, although no assurances can be given in this regard.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Any dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder must be reported annually to the IRS and to the Non-U.S. holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Any dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding if the Non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or a successor form).

Payments of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition by a Non-U.S. holder of Parent Common Stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the Non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an applicable IRS Form W-8 (or a successor form) and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Parent Common Stock effected outside the United States by a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the Non-U.S. holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or the Non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of Parent Common Stock effected outside the United States by such a broker if it has certain relationships within the United States.

 

54


Table of Contents

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Requirements under FATCA

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (“FATCA”), impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends paid on Parent Common Stock, and subject to the discussion of certain proposed Treasury regulations below, on the gross proceeds from a disposition of Parent Common Stock, in each case if paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners), (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity, or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.

The U.S. Treasury released proposed Treasury regulations which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of Parent Common Stock. In its preamble to such proposed Treasury regulations, the U.S. Treasury stated that taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA to them.

Item 15. Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws provide for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided in our Certificate of Incorporation. Each indemnification agreement provides for indemnification and advancements by the Registrant of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings arising from his or her service to the Registrant or, at our request, service to other entities, as officers or directors to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract qualified directors.

The Registrant also maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (1) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, while acting in their capacity as directors and officers of the Registrant, and (2) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to any indemnification provision contained in the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws or otherwise as a matter of law.

increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
