PROSPECTUS SUMMARYTHE COMPANY

This summary highlights selected information about Stereotaxis, Inc. and a general description of the securities that may be offered for resale or other disposition by the selling stockholders. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of us and the securities offered by the selling stockholders, you should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the “Risk Factors” section, any applicable prospectus supplement for these securities and the other documents we refer to and incorporate by reference. In particular, we incorporate important business and financial information into this prospectus by reference.

The Company

 

Stereotaxis designs, manufactures and markets robotic systems, instruments and information systems for the interventional laboratory. Our proprietary robotic technology, Robotic Magnetic Navigation, fundamentally transforms endovascular interventions using precise computer-controlled magnetic fields to directly control the tip of flexible interventional catheters or devices. Direct control of the tip of an interventional device, in contrast to all manual hand-held devices that are controlled from their handle, can improve the precision, stability, reach and safety of these devices during procedures.

 

Our primary clinical focus has been electrophysiology, specifically cardiac ablation procedures for the treatment of arrhythmias. Cardiac ablation has become a well-accepted therapy for arrhythmias and a multi-billion-dollar medical device market with expectations for substantial long-term growth. We have shared our aspiration and a product strategy to expand the clinical focus of our technology to several additional endovascular indications including coronary, neuro, and peripheral interventions.

 

There is substantial real-world evidence and clinical literature for Robotic Magnetic Navigation in electrophysiology. Hundreds of electrophysiologists at over one hundred hospitals globally have treated over 100,000 arrhythmia patients with our robotic technology. Clinical use of our technology has been documented in over 400 clinical publications. Robotic Magnetic Navigation is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures with greater success and safety by providing image-guided delivery of catheters through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied computer-controlled magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter, resulting in improved navigation. The more flexible atraumatic design of catheters driven using magnetic fields may reduce the risk of patient harm and other adverse events. Performing the procedure from a control cockpit enables physicians to complete procedures in a safe location protected from x-ray exposure, with greater ergonomics, and improved efficiency. We believe these benefits can be applicable in other endovascular indications where navigation through complex vasculature is often challenging or unsuccessful and generates significant x-ray exposure.

 

Our primary products include the Genesis RMN System, the Odyssey Solution, and other related devices. We also offer our customers the Stereotaxis Imaging Model S x-ray System and other accessory devices.

 

The Genesis RMN System is designed to enable physicians to complete more complex interventional procedures by providing image-guided delivery of catheters through the blood vessels and chambers of the heart to treatment sites. This is achieved using externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter, resulting in improved navigation, efficient procedures, and reduced x-ray exposure.

 

The Odyssey Solution consolidates lab information onto one large integrated display, enabling physicians to view and control all the key information in the operating room. This is designed to improve lab layout and procedure efficiency. The system also features a remote viewing and recording capability called Odyssey Cinema, which is an innovative solution that delivers synchronized content for optimized workflow, advanced care, and improved productivity. This tool includes an archiving capability that allows clinicians to store and replay entire procedures or segments of procedures. This information can be accessed from locations throughout the hospital local area network and over the global Odyssey Network providing physicians with a tool for clinical collaboration, remote consultation, and training.

The Stereotaxis Imaging Model S provides an integrated complete solution for a robotic interventional operating room. It is a single-plane, full-power x-ray system and includes the c-arm, powered table, motorized boom, and large high-definition monitors. Stereotaxis Imaging Model S incorporates modern fluoroscopy technology to support high quality imaging while minimizing radiation exposure for patients and physicians. The combination of RMN Systems with Stereotaxis Imaging Model S is designed to reduce the cost of acquisition, the ongoing cost of ownership, and the complexity of installation of a robotic electrophysiology practice.

 

We promote our full suite of products in a typical hospital implementation, subject to regulatory approvals or clearances. This implementation requires a hospital to agree to an upfront capital payment and recurring payments. The upfront capital payment typically includes equipment and installation charges. The recurring payments typically include disposable costs for each procedure, equipment service costs beyond warranty period, and ongoing software updates. In hospitals where our full suite of products has not been implemented, equipment upgrade or expansion can be implemented upon purchasing of the necessary upgrade or expansion.

 

We have strategic relationships with technology leaders and innovators in the global interventional market. Through these strategic relationships we provide compatibility between our robotic magnetic navigation system and digital imaging and 3D catheter location sensing technology, as well as disposable interventional devices. The maintenance of these strategic relationships, or the establishment of equivalent alternatives, is critical to our commercialization efforts. There are no guarantees that any existing strategic relationships will continue, and efforts are ongoing to ensure the availability of integrated systems and devices and/or equivalent alternatives. We cannot provide assurance as to the timeline of the ongoing availability of such compatible systems or our ability to obtain equivalent alternatives on competitive terms or at all.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in June 1990. Our principal executive offices are located at 710 North Tucker Boulevard, Suite 110, Saint Louis, Missouri 63101, and our telephone number is (314) 678-6100.

Securities Being Offered

This prospectus relates to the offer, resale or other disposition of up to an aggregate of 91,221,439 shares of our common stock, comprised of (i) up to 54,921,439 shares issuable upon the conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (as defined below) and (ii) 36,300,000 shares of common stock upon exercise of certain related warrants, in each case held by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus or their transferees. The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the warrants were issued in the transactions described below, and the selling stockholders are identified in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” on page 6, below. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. The registration of these shares of common stock does not necessarily mean that any of them will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders. The securities may be sold directly or through brokers, dealers or agents in private or market transactions. In connection with any sales, the selling stockholders and any brokers, dealers or agents participating in such sales may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Financing Transaction

On September 26, 2016, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which we sold in a private placement sale to the investors identified on the Schedule of Buyers thereto (together the “Buyers”) (i) a total of 24,000 shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 with a stated value of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into 36,923,078 shares of common stock based upon an initial conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to certain adjustments, and (ii) related warrants (the “SPA Warrants”) to initially purchase an aggregate of 36,923,078 shares of our common stock at an initial warrant exercise price of $0.70 per share subject to certain adjustments and for a term of five (5) years. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the SPA Warrants were sold at an aggregate price of $24 million. This transaction (the “Financing Transaction”) closed on September 29, 2016. Of the 24,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock originally issued, an aggregate of 22,383 remain issued and outstanding, 100 have been converted into common stock held by an affiliate and 1,517 have been converted into common stock by non-affiliates. As a result, the New Registration Statement (as defined below) and this prospectus do not relate to such shares of common stock underlying the 1,517 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock that have been previously converted into common stock by non-affiliates.

On February 28, 2018, we entered into a Consent and Amendment with the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants pursuant to which the exercise price of the SPA Warrants was reduced from $0.70 per share to $0.28 per share that ended at 1:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on March 5, 2018 (the “Restricted Exercise Period”), provided that (i) exercises of the SPA Warrants at the reduced exercise price would only be effected if the aggregate exercise price for all SPA Warrants exercised during the Restricted Exercise Period was at least $6,000,000 (the “Exercise Condition”), (ii) cashless exercise was not permitted during the Restricted Exercise Period, (iii) the exercising holder was required to enter into a lock-up agreement with the Company agreeing not to sell the SPA Warrants or the shares received on exercise of the SPA Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) for a period of 18 months following March 12, 2018 and (iv) the limitations on beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock set forth in the SPA Warrants would not apply to Warrant Shares issued to a holder upon exercises of such holder’s SPA Warrants during the Restricted Exercise Period. The Exercise Condition was satisfied and the Company issued 35,791,927 shares of common stock to such exercising holders for an aggregate exercise price of $10,021,739. Subsequent to the expiration of the Consent and Amendment, an additional 1,115,765 warrants were exercised at the original exercise price of $0.70 per share for an aggregate exercise price of $781,035. The balance of the SPA Warrants expired unexercised.

In connection with the original Financing Transaction, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the purchasers of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and the SPA Warrants (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), under which we agreed to undertake to file one or more registration statements on behalf of the selling stockholders with respect to the offer, resale or other disposition of the common stock issued or issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and upon the exercise of the SPA Warrants.

Our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-214255) (the “Original Registration Statement”), was initially declared effective on November 15, 2016 and registered (a) 130% of the number of shares initially issuable upon exercise of all issued and outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (b) 100% of the number of shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants. In connection with the Consent and Amendment, the Company determined to file a post-effective amendment to register for resale the shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the SPA Warrants as amended, in the event that the SEC were to conclude the Consent and Amendment represented the issuance of a new security. Accordingly, on March 30, 2018 and May 30, 2018 we filed Post-Effective Amendments, which was declared effective on May 31, 2018 to confirm the registration of the resale of the Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the SPA Warrants as amended by the Consent and Amendment.

On May 19, 2023, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “New Registration Statement”), of which this prospectus is a part, to register additional shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred as a result of the dividend accrual feature. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, the New Registration Statement will constitute a Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Prior Registration Statement, and upon effectiveness, will convert the Prior Registration Statement to a registration statement on Form S-3. Pursuant to Rule 429, this prospectus is a combined prospectus relating to both the additional shares registered under the New Registration Statement and to shares covered by Prior Registration Statement. The Prior Registration Statement also related to an aggregate of 1,141,935 shares of our common stock underlying warrants issued under various agreements in 2013, as well as an aggregate of 15,385 shares underlying the SPA warrants, all of which were never exercised and have expired. As a result, the New Registration Statement and this prospectus does not relate such shares of common stock underlying such unexercised and expired warrants.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the period ended December 31, 2022 and any updates in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, together with all other information appearing in or incorporated by reference in, this prospectus, including the risks described below and under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in any other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), along with the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, in evaluating an investment in our common stock. The information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see the sections entitled “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” in this prospectus.

The risks and uncertainties described ininto this prospectus and the documents incorporated by referenceany applicable prospectus supplement, in this prospectus represent all the materiallight of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. These risks known to us, but they are not the only ones facing us. Additional riskscould materially and uncertainties that we do not presently know about or that we currently believe are not material may also adversely affect our business. If anybusiness, results of the risksoperations and uncertainties describedfinancial condition and could result in thisa partial or complete loss of your investment.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The prospectus, orincluding the documents incorporated by reference herein, actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in a material way. As a result, the trading price of our common stock and/or the value of any other securitiesfree writing prospectus that we may issue may decline, and you might lose part or all of your investment.

We may become subject to governmental action or private litigation if the temporary reduction in the exercise price of the SPA Warrants were deemed to constitute a tender offer.

After we filed our Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Registration Statement, the Company was advised by the staff of the SEC that the temporary reduction in the exercise price of the SPA Warrants during the Restricted Exercise Period described above may have constituted a tender offer subject to Rule 13e-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). If the staff takes the position that the Company failed to comply with the tender offer rules, the Company could become subject to enforcement action by the SEC or other governmental entities and, potentially, to private litigation. If the SEC were to take action, it could seek civil monetary penalties or a “cease and desist” order, which would require the Company to comply with the tender offer rules in the event of any future temporary reduction in the warrant exercise priceauthorized for the SPA Warrants or any other convertible securities issued by the Company. While the SEC has not elected to take any such action, the Company cannot provide any assurance that such actions will not occur. If private litigation ensues, the likelihood of its success, or the amount of any damages that might be awarded, cannot be predicted.

Future issuances of our securities could dilute current stockholders’ ownership.

The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part covers the resale or other disposition up to 91,221,439 shares of our common stock, including up to an aggregate of 54,921,439 shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, which number includes 20,330,615 shares related to the dividend accrual provisions in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of Stereotaxis, Inc. the “Certificate of Designations”) related thereto.

As of April 30, 2023, we had 48,043,491 million shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bears dividends at a rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum, which are cumulative and accrue daily from the date of issuance on the $1,000 stated value. Such dividends will not be paid in cash, exceptuse in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Instead, the value of the accrued dividends is added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and will increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion, which will dilute the ownership of our common stockholders. As a result of this accrual feature, this prospectus relates to more shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock than are currently issuable as of the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

A significant number of shares of our common stock are subject to issuance under our existing stock incentive plans, and we may request the ability to issue additional such securities. We may also decide to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing to fund our operations. While we cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of debt, our common stock, other equity securities or securities exercisable for or convertible into our common stock or other equity securities or the availability of any of the foregoing for future sale, will have on the market price of our common stock, it is likely that sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exercise of stock options and stock appreciation rights, the vesting of the CEO Performance Share Unit Award and restricted stock units, or the conversion of any convertible securities outstanding now or in the future, including the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock), will dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders and that the perception that such sales could occur, will adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

Further, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock rank senior to our common stock as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding their beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of shares of our common stock.

The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of April 30, 2023 (without giving effect to any limitations on conversion or exercise with respect to the applicable securities), including shares representing dividends accruing on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock within 60 days of April 30, 2023.

(2)Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, a selling stockholder may not convert shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock if as a result of such conversion such selling stockholder, its affiliates and any other person whose beneficial ownership of shares of common stock would be aggregated with the selling stockholder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, would beneficially own more than 4.99% of our common stock (or 9.99% if such selling stockholder has previously provided not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company of such increase). This ownership limitation was eliminated as to shares of common stock issued upon exercise of SPA Warrants during the Restricted Exercise Period. For purposes of the Selling Stockholder table, we have disregarded these limitations.

Registered Global Securities

We may issue registered debt securities of a series in the form of one or more fully registered global securities. We will deposit the registered global security with a depository or with a nominee for a depository identified in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. The global security or global securities will represent and will be in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding registered debt securities of the series to be represented by the registered global security or securities. Unless it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred, except as a whole in three cases:

Dr. Fischel also serves on our Board of Directors. Excludes shares beneficially owned by Dr. Fischel and Mr. Fischel directly.successor.

 

The ownership informationprospectus supplement relating to a series of each Fund includeddebt securities will describe the specific terms of the depository arrangement concerning any portion of that series of debt securities to be represented by a registered global security. We anticipate that the following provisions will generally apply to all depository arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depository will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the registered global security to the accounts of persons that have accounts with the depository. These persons are referred to as “participants.” Any underwriters, agents or debtors participating in the Selling Stockholder table does not includedistribution of debt securities represented by the registered global security will designate the accounts to be credited. Only participants or persons that hold interests through participants will be able to beneficially own interests in a registered global security. The depository for a global security will maintain records of beneficial ownership informationinterests in a registered global security for participants. Participants or persons that hold through participants will maintain records of beneficial ownership interests in a global security for persons other than participants. These records will be the other Funds.only means to transfer beneficial ownership in a registered global security.

The laws of some states may require that specified purchasers of securities take physical delivery of the securities in definitive form. These laws may limit the ability of those persons to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in global securities.

So long as the depository, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, the depository or its nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security:

 

(5)Piedmont Partners, L.P. distributed its sharesmay not have the debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in their names;
will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of Series A Convertible Preferred Stockdebt securities represented by a registered global security in definitive form; and SPA Warrants to its partners.
will not be considered the owners or holders of debt securities represented by a registered global security under the indenture.

 

Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depository for the registered global security and, if the person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interests, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture applicable to the registered global security.

We understand that, under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders, or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, the depository for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take the action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take the action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.

Payment of Interest on and Principal of Registered Global Securities

We will make principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depository or its nominee to the depository or its nominee as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Stereotaxis, the trustee, or any paying agent for debt securities represented by a registered global security will have any responsibility or liability for:

Based on a Schedule 13G filed by Joe Kiani on June 9, 2021, and the Company’s records. Mr. Kiani joined our Board of Directors in connection with the closingany aspect of the Financing Transactionrecords relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in such registered global security;
maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests;
the payments to beneficial owners of the global security of amounts paid to the depository or its nominee; or
any other matter relating to the actions and served until he resigned from our Board effective May 20, 2021. Excludes shares beneficially owned by Mr. Kiani directly.practices of the depository, its nominee or any of its participants.

 

We expect that the depository, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in respect of the global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their beneficial interests in the principal amount of a registered global security as shown on the depository’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices. This is currently the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street name.” Such payments will be the responsibility of participants.

Exchange of Registered Global Securities

We may issue debt securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security if both of the following occur:

(7)Based on the Company’s recordsdepository for any debt securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act; and Schedule 13F filed by Arbiter Partners Capital Management LLC on February 14, 2023.
we do not appoint a successor depository within 90 days.

 

In addition, we may, at any time, determine not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by one or more registered global securities. In this event, we will issue debt securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for all of the registered global security or securities representing those debt securities.

Covenants by Stereotaxis

The indenture includes covenants by us, including among other things that we will make all payments of principal, or premium, if any, and interest at the times and places required. The supplemental indenture establishing each series of debt securities may contain additional covenants, including covenants which could restrict our right to incur additional indebtedness or liens and to take certain actions with respect to our businesses and assets.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the following will be events of default under the indenture with respect to each series of debt securities issued under the indenture:

certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us; and
any other event of default specified in any supplemental indenture under which such series of debt securities is issued.

Except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us and except as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, if any event of default shall occur and be continuing with respect to any series of debt securities under the indenture, either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of such series may accelerate the maturity of all debt securities of such series. Upon certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings affecting us, the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all debt securities of each series shall be immediately due and payable.

After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each affected series of debt securities may waive all defaults with respect to such series and rescind and annul such acceleration if all events of default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured, waived or otherwise remedied.

No holder of any debt securities will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy under the indenture, unless such holder shall have previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default and the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series shall have made written request and offered indemnity satisfactory to the trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the trustee shall not have received from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of a debt security for enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on such debt security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such debt security.

Supplemental Indentures

We and the trustee may, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to or consent of any holders of debt securities, enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the indenture, among other things:

 to add guarantees to or secure any series of debt securities;
to provide for the succession of another person pursuant to the provisions of the indenture relating to consolidations, mergers and sales of assets and the assumption by such successor of our covenants, agreements, and obligations, or to otherwise comply with the provisions of the indenture relating to consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets;
to surrender any right or power conferred upon us under the indenture or to add to our covenants further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of all or any series of debt securities;
to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained in the indenture, in any supplemental indenture that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained therein;
to modify or amend the indenture in such a manner as to permit the qualification of the indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;
to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to supplement any of the provisions of the indenture in order to permit the defeasance and discharge of any series of debt securities pursuant to the indenture, so long as any such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities of any series in any material respect;
to add to, change, or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture with respect to one or more series of debt securities, so long as any such addition, change or elimination shall not apply to any debt securities of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to the benefit of such provision;
to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor or separate trustee; and
to establish the form or terms of debt securities of any series and to make any change that does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of debt securities.

With the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of debt securities of each series affected by such supplemental indenture (each series voting as one class), we and the trustee may enter into one or more supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of debt securities of each such series.

Notwithstanding our rights and the rights of the trustee to enter into one or more supplemental indentures with the consent of the holders of debt securities of the affected series as described above, no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the affected series, among other things:

change the final maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any debt securities;
reduce the principal amount of any debt securities or the rate of interest on any debt securities;
change the currency in which any debt securities are payable;

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTIONSatisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture; Defeasance

Except to the extent set forth in a supplemental indenture with respect to any series of debt securities, we, at our election, may satisfy and discharge the indenture and the indenture shall generally cease to be of any further effect with respect to that series of debt securities if (i) either (a) we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of that series (with certain limited exceptions), or (b) all debt securities of that series not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee the entire amount sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such debt securities; (ii) we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture by us; and (iii) we have delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent under the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge have been complied with.

In addition, we have a “legal defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, all of our obligations under such debt securities and the indenture with respect to such debt securities) and a “covenant defeasance option” (pursuant to which we may terminate, with respect to the debt securities of a particular series, our obligations with respect to such debt securities under certain specified covenants contained in the indenture). If we exercise our legal defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option with respect to a series of debt securities, payment of such debt securities may not be accelerated because of an event of default related to the specified covenants.

We may exercise our legal defeasance option or our covenant defeasance option with respect to the debt securities of a series only if we irrevocably deposit in trust with the trustee cash or U.S. government obligations (as defined in the indenture) for the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to such debt securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be. In addition, to exercise either of our defeasance options, we must comply with certain other conditions, including the delivery to the trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or other change in applicable Federal income tax law).

The trustee will hold in trust the cash or U.S. government obligations deposited with it as described above and will apply the deposited cash and the proceeds from deposited U.S. government obligations to the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the debt securities of the defeased series.

Mergers, Consolidations and Certain Sales of Assets

We may not consolidate with or merge into any other person or entity or permit any other person or entity to consolidate with or merge into us in a transaction in which we are not the surviving entity, or transfer, lease or dispose of all or substantially all of our assets to any other person or entity unless:

the resulting, surviving or transferee entity shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof and such resulting, surviving or transferee entity shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered in form satisfactory to the trustee, all of our obligations under the debt securities and the indenture;
immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity as a result of such transaction as having been incurred by such entity at the time of such transaction), no default or event of default would occur or be continuing; and
we shall have delivered to the trustee an officer’s certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the indenture (except that such opinion of counsel need not opine as to the matters set forth in the second bullet-point above).

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for eachper share held of record on all matters submitted to abe voted upon by shareholders.

In accordance with Delaware law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the stockholders.shares cast at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the shareholders. The presence at the meeting, by person or by proxy, of the holders of record of a majority of shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for transacting business.

No such distributions or payments upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company may be made to holders of common stock unless and until the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have received the stated value of $1,000 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends.

This power is limited by applicable laws or regulations and may be delegated to a committee of our board of directors.

As of the date of this prospectus, all 5,610,121 shares previously designated as shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were converted to common stock, at which time they were no longer designated as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and resumed the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 29,, 2016, we filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate“Series A Certificate of Designations”) to authorize the issuance of up to 24,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.Stock, of which 22,383 shares remain issued and outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.

The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bears dividends at a rate of six percent (6.0%) per annum, which are cumulative and accrue daily from the date of issuance on the $1,000 stated value. Such dividends will not be paid in cash, except in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any redemption of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Instead, the value of the accrued dividends is added to the liquidation preference of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and will increase the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion.

 

Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder from and after the original date of issuance, at an initial conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, dividends, mergers, sales of all or substantially all of our assets or similar transactions, subject to specified beneficial ownership issuance limitations. If we fail to timely issue shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock or common stock issuable on conversion or remove legends from any such shares, in each case as and when required to do so under the Series A Certificate of Designations, we will be required to pay liquidated damages to the affected holder in an amount equal to 0.25% of the product of (i) the number of shares of common stock to be issued or issuable on conversion of the relevant shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) the weighted average price of the common stock on the last date before such failure, and may be required to pay additional or alternative damages in specified circumstances at the option of the holder.

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law and Charter Provisions

 

Interested Stockholder TransactionsTransactions.. We are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in any “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, with the following exceptions:

 

 before such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;
 
upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction began, excluding for purposes of determining the number of shares outstanding those shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

on or after such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 

Section 203 defines “business combination” to include the following:

 

any merger or consolidation involving the corporation and the interested stockholder;

any sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition involving the interested stockholder of assets with a value of 10% or more of either the total assets or all outstanding stock of the corporation;

subject to certain exceptions, any transaction that results in the issuance or transfer by the corporation of any stock of the corporation to the interested stockholder;

any transaction involving the corporation that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the stock or any class or series of the corporation beneficially owned by the interested stockholder; or

the receipt by the interested stockholder of the benefit of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial benefits by or through the corporation.

15

 

In general, Section 203 defines “interested stockholder” as an entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation or any entity or person affiliated with or controlling or controlled by such entity or person.

 

In addition, some provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.

12

Cumulative VotingVoting.. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation expressly denies stockholders the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Classified Board of DirectorsDirectors.. Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of the board of directors iswill be elected each year, which has the effect of requiring at least two annual stockholder meetings, instead of one, to replace a majority of the members of the board. These provisions, when coupled with the provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizing only the board of directors to fill vacant directorships or increase the size of the board of directors, may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies created by such removal with its own nominees. The amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that directors may be removed by stockholders only for cause. Since the board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

 

Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of StockholdersStockholders.. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not permit stockholders to act by written consent. They provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of our board of directors, our chief executive officer or a majority of our directors. Further, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the stockholders may amend bylaws adopted by the board of directors or specified provisions of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of our capital stock.

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Directors NominationsNominations.. Our amended and restated bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at our principal executive offices not more than 120 days or less than 90 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. However, in the event that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be received not later than the close of business on the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed to stockholders or made public, whichever first occurs. Our amended and restated bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Authorized But Unissued SharesShares.. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Stereotaxis by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Amendments; Supermajority Vote RequirementsRequirements.. The Delaware General Corporation Law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater percentage. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation imposes supermajority vote requirements of 66-2/3% of the voting power of our capital stock in connection with the amendment of certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, including those provisions relating to the classified board of directors, action by written consent and the ability of stockholders to call special meetings.

The warrants will be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, as detailed in the prospectus supplement relating to warrants being offered.

The descriptions of the warrant agreements in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the applicable provisions of the applicable agreements. These descriptions do not restate those agreements in their entirety and do not contain all of the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable agreements because they, and not the summaries, define your rights as holders of the warrants or any warrant units. For more information, please review the form of the relevant agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of the warrants or warrant units and will be available as described in the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information” below.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, purchase contracts, or warrants. These rights may be issued independently or together with any other security and may or may not be transferable by the person receiving the rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of such rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement which we will enter into with a bank or trust company, as rights agent, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The rights agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the certificates relating to the rights and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

the date of determining the shareholders entitled to the rights distribution;
the number of rights issued or to be issued to each shareholder;
the exercise price payable for each share of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, purchase contracts, or warrants upon the exercise of the rights;
the number and terms of the shares of common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares, purchase contracts, or warrants which may be purchased per each right;
the extent to which the rights are transferable;
the date on which the holder’s ability to exercise the rights shall commence, and the date on which the rights shall expire;
the extent to which the rights may include an over-subscription privilege with respect to unsubscribed securities;
if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of such rights; and
any other terms of the rights, including the terms, procedures, conditions, and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the rights.

The descriptions of the rights and any applicable underlying security in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions of the applicable agreements. These descriptions do not restate those agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable agreements because they, and not the summaries, define many of your rights as holders of the units. For more information, please review the form of the relevant agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of units and will be available as described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

18

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

We may issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The units may be issued under units agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as unit agent, as detailed in the prospectus supplement relating to units being offered. The prospectus supplement will describe:

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may be held or transferred separately;
a description of the terms of any unit agreement governing the units;
a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units;
a discussion of material federal income tax considerations, if applicable; and
whether the units will be issued in fully registered or global form.

The descriptions of the units in this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement are summaries of the material provisions that may be included in the applicable unit agreements. These descriptions do not restate the terms of any such agreements in their entirety and may not contain all the information that you may find useful. We urge you to read the applicable agreements because they, and not the summaries, will define your rights as holders of the units. For more information, please review the form of the relevant agreements, which will be filed with the SEC promptly after the offering of any units and will be available as described under the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information” below.

19

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell any of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus in any manner specified in a prospectus supplement or in any of the following manners:

directly to purchasers;
to or through underwriters;
through dealers or agents; or
through a combination of methods.

We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We may also determine the price or other terms of the securities offered under this prospectus by use of an electronic auction. The securities may be sold through an at-the-market offering, a rights offering, forward contracts or similar arrangements.

The prospectus supplement with respect to the securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including the names of the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, the purchase price of the securities, the net proceeds to us, any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation, any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed. Also, if applicable, we will describe in the prospectus supplement how any auction will determine the price or any other terms, how potential investors may participate in the auction and the nature of the underwriters’ obligations with respect to the auction.

If underwriters are used in an offering, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriters and will specify the name of each underwriter and the terms of the transaction (including any underwriting discounts and other terms constituting compensation of the underwriters and any dealers) in a prospectus supplement. If an underwriting syndicate is used, the managing underwriter(s) will be specified on the cover of the prospectus supplement. If underwriters are used in the sale, the offered securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own accounts and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the offered securities if any are purchased.

If dealers are used in an offering, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers then may resell the securities to the public at varying prices which they determine at the time of resale. The names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction will be specified in a prospectus supplement.

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents we designate. If agents are used in an offering, the names of the agents and the terms of the agency will be specified in a prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the agents will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of their appointment.

We may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

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

20

Dealers and agents named in a prospectus supplement may be deemed to be underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933) of the securities described therein. In addition, we may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to any resales thereof.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled to indemnification by us against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make in respect thereof, under underwriting or other agreements. The terms of any indemnification provisions will be set forth in a prospectus supplement. Certain underwriters, dealers or agents and their associates may engage in transactions with, and perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

Each series of securities is expected to be a new issue of securities with no established trading market, other than the common stock which is listed on the NYSE American. Any common stock sold pursuant to a prospectus supplement will be eligible for listing and trading on the NYSE American, subject to official notice of issuance. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but the underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The securities, other than the common stock, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.

Item 14.15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, our directors shall not be liable to the Company or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. In addition, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or any predecessor of the Company, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Company.

 

Our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Company shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other law. We are not required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with a proceeding brought by such director or officer unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required by law; (ii) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors; or (iii) such indemnification is provided by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law. In addition, our amended and restated bylaws provide that the Company may indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law or any other applicable law.

 

We have also entered into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that require us, among other things, to indemnify each of them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service with the Company or on behalf of the Company, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable nature. The Company is not required to indemnify under the agreement for (i) actions initiated by the director without the authorization of consent of the board of directors; (ii) actions initiated to enforce the indemnification agreement unless the director is successful; (iii) actions resulting from violations of Section 16 of the Exchange Act in which a final judgment has been rendered against the director; and (iv) actions to enforce any non-compete or non-disclosure provisions of any agreement.

 

The indemnification provided for above provides for reimbursement of all losses of the indemnified party, including expenses, judgment, fines and amounts paid in settlement. The right to indemnification set forth above includes the right for us to pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition in certain circumstances.

 

II-1

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that indemnification is permissible only when the director, officer, employee, or agent acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law also precludes indemnification in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which an officer, director, employee, or agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine that, despite such adjudication of liability, but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court deems proper.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify us and our controlling persons, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Reference is made to the Underwriting Agreement filed as part of the exhibits hereto.

See Item 17 for information regarding our undertaking to submit to adjudication the issue of indemnification for violation of the securities laws.
