PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

SUMMARY

Our Business

The following is only a summary. We provide a range of software products for mobile video entertainment, personalization and mobile social applications. Our comprehensive software platforms include applications that allow users to: (i) create, download and share mobile video entertainment content inurge you to read the form of video ringtones for mobile phones, (ii) create social picture ringtone and ringback content inentire prospectus, including the form of animated slideshows sourced from their friends’ social networks, (iii) create ReMixed video clips from artists and branded content, and (iv) utilize Fan Loyalty mobile applications for contestant based reality TV shows. Our applications and services have been launched with ten carriers in eight markets. The billing integrations that we have with these operators are of significant strategic value to its operations. In addition, we have deals in place with two of the four largest handset makers in the world. We also believe that social network information and updates will be shared regularly when friends regularly communicate by voice and by text. Our video ringtone solutions and other mobile social and video applications, which encompass a suite of mobile and PC-based tools, enable users to create, download and share video and other social content with ease as part of the normal communication process, and provide our business partners with a consumer-friendly and easy-to-integrate monetization platform. While our current portfolio of applications and services represents what it believes to be cutting edge mobile technology that can work across many operating systems, we recognize that the pace at which the mobile landscape is changing has increased and the two most dominant operating systems are Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS. Moving forward, we intend to develop additional applications and services for these two key operating systems, as well as other dominant smartphone operating systems that may emerge. We believe that it can leverage our existing distribution and relationships to promote apps and services for these two operating systems.

To date, we have developed four different mobile video, personalization and mobile social application platforms:

Video Ringtones - our original product platform that allows users to create, download and share mobile entertainment content in the form of video ringtones for mobile phones;

Facetones™ - a visual ringtone experience based on social network pictures from a user’s friends;

Video ReMix - an application that allows a user to create his or her own music video by tapping on a smartphone or tablet, in partnership with music artists and brands; and

Fan Loyalty - a platform that allows users to obtain video and video ringtones, view information on certain reality television series and stars and vote for contestants.

To develop these platforms, we have leveraged our existing technology, intellectual property and our extensive experience with mobile video, personalization and social applications. We believe that these platforms will represent a significant component of our business going forward.

Our ability to compete successfully depends on our ability to ensure a continuing and timely introduction of innovative new products and technologies to the marketplace. As a result, we must make significant investments in research and development. To date, we filed over 24 patents, 3 of the patents that have been filed have been granted by the USPTO and we have received a notice of allowance for 1 patent in Europe.

We were incorporated in January 2006 and are still a development stage company. Our principal executive offices are located in New York, NY, and in addition, we have a wholly owned subsidiary, Vringo (Israel) Ltd., located in Bet-Shemesh, Israel. From inception through March 31, 2012, we recorded revenues of $1,055,000, which includes $726,000 from revenue share subscription services, $118,000 from one-time setup fees, $91,000 from Facetones™, $80,000 from Fan Loyalty application formats, $30,000 from Video ReMix platform and $10,000 from applications sold. We believe that current cash levels will be sufficient to support our activity into the first quarter of 2013. The continuation of our business is dependent upon the successful consummation of the merger with Innovate/Protect and/or similar merger or acquisition, financing and/or further development of our products. There can be no assurance that the merger will be consummated, or that business development opportunities will materialize. Should we need to raise funds, the issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a substantial dilution to our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments. All of our auditedmore detailed consolidated financial statements, since inception have contained a statement by our management that raises substantial doubt about us being ablenotes to continue as a going concern unless we are able to raise additional capital.

Our video ringtone platform was our primary product focus since inception through the launch of our Facetones™ product in the third Quarter of 2011. We continue to develop business for this product. We believe that our comprehensive video ringtone service represents the next stage in the evolution of the ringtone market from standard audio ringtones to high-quality video ringtones, with social networking capability and integration with web systems. Our solution, which encompasses a suite of mobile and PC-based tools, enables users to create, download and share video ringtones with ease. Our solution, furthermore, provides our business partners with a consumer-friendly and easy-to-integrate monetization platform. This platform combines a downloadable mobile application which works on multiple operating systems and over 400 mobile handsets, a WAP site, which is a simplified website accessible by a user on a mobile phone, and a website, together with a robust content integration, management and distribution system. As part of providing a complete end-to-end video ringtone platform, we have amassed a library of over 12,000 video ringtones that we provide for our users in various territories. Certain portions of this library are geographically restricted. We also have developed substantial tools for users to create their own video ringtones and for mobile carriersconsolidated financial statements and other partners to include their own content and deliver it exclusively to their customers. Our VringForward™ video ringtone technology allows users to enjoy a rich social experienceinformation included herein or incorporated by sharing video ringtonesreference from our library or which they created.

Until the end of 2009, our video ringtone service was offered to consumers for free. At that point, we moved to a paid service model together with mobile carriers and other partners around the world. The revenue model for our video ringtone service offered through the carriers is generally a subscription-based model where users pay a monthly fee for access to our service and additional fees for premium content. Our free version is still available in markets where we have not entered into commercial arrangements with carriers or other partners. We have built our video ringtone platform with a flexible back-end and front-end that is easy to integratefilings with the back-end systems of mobile carriersU.S. Securities and easy to co-brand with mobile carriers. To date, we have filed 24 patent applications forExchange Commission, or SEC. Investing in our platform, three of which have been issued to date, and we continue to create new intellectual property. securities involves risks. Therefore, please carefully consider the information provided under the heading “Risk Factors” starting on page 3.

Our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, which had previously been listed under the trading symbol “FH” on the Nasdaq Capital Market, has been listed under the trading symbol “XSPA” since January 8, 2018.

As a result of the transition to a pure-play health and wellness services company, we currently have one operating segment that is also our sole reporting unit, XpresSpa, a leading airport retailer of spa services.

In 2018, approximately 83% of XpresSpa’s total revenue was generated by services, primarily massage and nailcare, and 17% was generated by retail products, primarily travel accessories.

In October 2017, we completed the Common Stock Exchange Ratio (as defined below)sale of FLI Charge, Inc. (“FLI Charge”) and in March 2018, we completed the sale of Group Mobile Int’l LLC (“Group Mobile”). These two entities previously comprised our technology operating segment. The results of operations for FLI Charge and Group Mobile are presented in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as consolidated net loss from discontinued operations. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities belonging to Group Mobile as of December 31, 2018, and FLI Charge and Group Mobile as of December 31, 2017, are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as assets held for disposal and liabilities held for disposal, respectively.

Each of the Calm Notes and the Calm Warrants contains, upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, anti-dilution price protection and provides for the inclusion of a provision allowing for the voluntary reduction of the conversion or exercise price, as applicable, by our Board of Directors at any time in its discretion. In connection with the 2019 Calm Purchase Agreement, we filed the Series E COD Amendment with the State of Delaware to reduce the conversion price to $2.00 per share, upon receipt of Shareholder Approval.


On July 8, 2019, we also entered into the Credit Agreement Amendment with B3D in order to, among other provisions, (i) extend the maturity date to May 31, 2021, (ii) reduce the applicable interest rate to 9.0% and (iii) amend and restate the B3D Note in order to increase the principal amount owed to B3D to $7.0 million, which principal and any interest accrued thereon are, upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, convertible at B3D’s option into common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.00 per share. Upon receipt of Shareholder Approval, the B3D Note contains anti-dilution price protection and includes a provision allowing for voluntary reduction of the conversion price by us priorour Board of Directors at any time in its discretion.

The issued and outstanding warrants to purchase Innovate/Protect Common Stock shall be exchanged for 250,000 shares of Vringo common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of Vringo Common Stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split.

Innovate/Protect is the owner of patent assets acquired from Lycos, one of the largest search engine websites of its kindRisks Related to our Financial Condition and Capital Requirements

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

The audited financial statements included in the mid-late 1990s, with technologies that remain critical to current search platforms. In September 2011, Innovate/Protect through its subsidiary, I/P Engine, initiated a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Courtour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Eastern Districtfiscal year ended December 31, 2018 have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. The report of Virginia against Google, Inc., AOL, Inc., IAC Search & Media, Inc., Gannett Company, Inc.our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and Target Corporation2017, included an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our auditors’ doubts are based on our recurring losses from operations and working capital deficiency. The inclusion of a going concern explanatory paragraph in future reports of our independent auditors may make it more difficult for unlawfully using systemsus to secure additional financing or enter into strategic relationships on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and may materially and adversely affect the terms of any financing that incorporate features claimed in two patents owned by I/P Engine. The patents relate to relevance search technology that is used in the search engine industry to produce better search results, and has also become the dominant technology used in search advertising to position high-quality advertisements. Through the strategic combination with Innovate/Protect, we expect to substantially increase our intellectual property portfolio, add significant talent in technological innovation, and be positioned to potentially enhance our opportunities for revenue generation through the monetization of the combined company’s assets.might obtain.

 

Innovate/Protect isOur business and financial condition could be constrained by our outstanding debt.

We are obligated under a senior secured note payable to its principal stockholder Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. (“Hudson Bay) withthe Credit Agreement Amendment and B3D Note, which has an outstanding balance of $3,200,000 asapproximately $7,000,000, with a maturity date of MarchMay 31, 2012.2021. The senior secured noteB3D Note accrues interest at 0.46%of 9.0% per annum, which interest is payable in arrears on the last business date of each month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have agreed with B3D that interest for the months of September 2019 and matures on June 22, 2014. Hudson Bay hasOctober 2019 shall be paid in shares of common stock following the option of requiring Innovate/Protect to redeem up to $2,000,000 aggregate principal of the senior secured note beginning March 22, 2012. Pursuant to a letter agreement dated March 12, 2012, by and between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, Hudson Bay agreed not to exercise its right of redemption until the earlier of (i) any termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the effective time of the Merger; provided that if the Merger is consummated, the note will be amended and restated and the holder may exercise any and all rights and remedies pursuant to such amended and restated note delivered at the closing of the Merger, including with respect to any optional redemption provisions contained therein. If the Merger is consummated, the amended and restated note will mature on June 22, 2013 and the right of redemption described above will be amended to provide that, from and after the date upon which (i) we and our subsidiaries have more than $15,000,000 in the aggregate of cash and cash equivalents, Hudson Bay may require us to redeem up to 50% of the outstanding principal amount of the note, (ii) we and our subsidiaries have more than $20,000,000 in the aggregate of cash and cash equivalents, Hudson Bay may require us to redeem up to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Note, (iii) we and our subsidiaries receive proceeds in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate from the issuance of any equity or indebtedness, Hudson Bay may require us to redeem the outstanding principal under the note in an amount equal to up to 20% of the proceeds of the issuance of any such equity or indebtedness. In addition, the amended and restated note shall provide that in the eventeffectiveness of a changeregistration statement registering such shares for resale and also anticipate paying interest for the month of control, Hudson Bay may require us to redeem all or any portionNovember 2019 in shares of the note at a price in cash equal to 125% of the amount redeemed. Innovate/Protect hascommon stock. We have granted Hudson BayB3D a security interest in all of its tangible and intangible personal property (including the Lycos’s patents) to secure itsour obligations under the senior secured note. In connection with the Merger, the senior secured note will becomeB3D Note. The B3D Note is an outstanding obligation of the combined company and we will guaranty the obligations under the senior secured note.XpresSpa Holdings, LLC but is guaranteed by us.

  

On June 1, 2012, Hudson Bay committed, subject to the terms and conditions of a commitment letter agreement, that, at any time within 18 months following the closing of the Merger and upon the request of Innovate/Protect, it or, at its election, one or more of its affiliated funds or entities shall provide debt financing to Innovate/Protect in the aggregate principal amount of up to $6,000,000. Hudson Bay’s commitment shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by (i) any cash or capital raised by us, Innovate/Protect and/or any of their subsidiaries (each a “Vringo entity” and, together the “Vringo entities”), including, without limitation, through the issuance of any debt, equity and/or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into equity of any of the Vringo entities or the incurrence of indebtedness by any of the Vringo entities and (ii) any cash received by any Vringo entity in connection with the exercise of any of its outstanding warrants. Any such financing provided under such facility will be in the form of senior secured notes at an interest rate of the greater of (i) LIBOR plus 300 basis points and (ii) 8% per annum with a maturity of seven years after issuance. Such obligations will be guaranteed by each of the Vringo entities and secured by a first priority lien on all assets of the Vringo entities. In addition, both Innovate/Protect andon July 8, 2019, we entered into the holder of the notes will be able to require redemption of all or any portion of the Notes at any time after 18 months following the consummation of the Merger, subject to an interest make-whole through maturity. In addition to other covenants to be mutually agreed between Innovate/Protect and Hudson Bay, the Vringo entities will not spend cash during any calendar quarter while any notes are outstanding at a rate greater than the amount specified in the capital budget of Vringo and its subsidiaries, prepared on a combined basis, agreed to by Hudson Bay, without the prior written consent of Hudson Bay. The obligations of Hudson Bay or any of its affiliated funds under the commitment letter agreement will be subject to certain conditions set forth in the commitment letter agreement and will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earlier to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger2019 Calm Purchase Agreement pursuant to its terms, (b)which we issued the Calm Notes. Interest on the Calm Notes is payable in arrears beginning on the last day of each February, May, August and November during the period beginning on the original issuance date and ending on, and including, the maturity date, when all amounts outstanding under the Calm Notes become due and payable in cash. 

Each of the B3D Note and the Calm Notes provides that upon an event of default (defined to include any default underin payment, failure to observe or acceleration priorperform certain covenants, and the occurrence of certain bankruptcy events, among other events), the respective lender could declare such note, including outstanding principal and all other amounts owing thereon, immediately due and payable. While we do not anticipate failing to maturitymake any such debt payments or taking any action that could result in an event of default, any indebtednessdefault of any Vringo entity, (c) theour loan obligations could lead to financial and operational hardship. Our failure of any Vringo entity to satisfy anymake payments pursuant to either of the conditions set forth inB3D Note or the commitment letter agreement, (d) any event, which, if occurring priorCalm Notes could cause material harm to the closing of the Merger, would have resulted in the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(f) (Litigation) and 6.2(j) (Patents) of the Merger Agreement to be satisfied, (e) upon written notice to terminate the commitment letter agreement delivered by Innovate/Protect to Hudson Bay or (f) 18 months after the consummation of the Merger.

As of June 13, 2012, the indebtedness of Vringo and Innovate/Protect were zero and $3.2 million, respectively. Therefore, following the consummation of the Merger, Vringo may incur up to $2.8 million of debt senior to the Vringo preferred stock without violating the provisions of the Vringo preferred stock (in addition to any amounts up to $6,000,000 that may be drawn down by Innovate/Protect under the Hudson Bay debt facility).

We have expended significant effort and management attention on the proposed transaction. There is no assurance that the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement will be consummated. If the transaction is not consummated for any reason, our business and operations, as well as the market price of our stock and warrants may be adversely affected. For accounting purposes Innovate/Protect was identified as the “Acquirer”, as it is defined in FASB Topic ASC 805. As a result, in the post-combination consolidated financial statements,Innovate/Protect’s assets and liabilities will be presented at its pre-combination amounts, and our assets and liabilities will be recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance for business combinations in ASC 805. We are currently evaluating the effect of this on our financial statements. We believe such effect will be material.

Innovate/Protect’s Initial Litigation

As one of the means of realizing the value of the Lycos Patents, on September 15, 2011, Innovate/Protect initiated (through I/P Engine) litigation in the United States District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, against AOL, Inc., Google, Inc., IAC Search & Media, Inc., Gannett Company, Inc., and Target Corporation for patent infringement regarding two of the Lycos Patents (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,314,420 and 6,775,664). The case number is 2:11 CV 512-RAJ/FBS, and is pending in the Norfolk Division.

The court docket for the case, including the parties’ briefs, is publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records website (“PACER”),www.pacer.gov, which is operated by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

As described above, the asserted patents relate to relevance filtering technology used in the search engine industry to place high quality advertisements in the best positions on websites and thereby maximizing the potential for generating substantial advertising revenue to the website owner. In this lawsuit, Innovate/Protect alleges that the defendants have used, and continue to use, search and search advertising systems that infringe upon Innovate/Protect’s relevant filtering patents. Innovate/Protect is seeking unspecified compensatory damages, past and future, amounting to no less than reasonable royalties, and attorneys’ fees.

The complaint states that the accused systems use the patented technology by filtering and presenting search and search advertising results based on a combination of (i) an item’s content relevance to a search query; and (ii) click-through rates from prior users relative to that item. For example, the complaint alleges that Google has adopted the patented technology with its use of Quality Score. Google’s search advertising systems filter advertisements by using Quality Score, which is a combination of an advertisement’s content relevance to a search query (e.g., the relevance of the keyword and the matched advertisement to the search query), and click-through rates from prior users relative to that advertisement (e.g., the historical click-through rate of the keyword and matched advertisement).

The complaint alleges that, after adopting the patented technology, Google’s market share significantly grew and its profits from search advertising considerably outpaced those of other pay per click advertising providers. Google also allows third party publishers, for example AOL, IAC, Target and Gannett Media, to display advertising search results in response to search queries made on the third party websites.

On November 4, 2011, I/P Engine entered into a stipulation with all of the defendants, which provided, among other things, that: (i) I/P Engine would provide the defendants with a preliminary identification of the asserted claims, and representative claim charts, (ii) the defendants would provide an initial production of technical documents; and (iii) the defendants would not move or otherwise seek to transfer or sever any party from the action, or otherwise assert that the Eastern District of Virginia is inconvenient for any reason.

The defendants filed their answers to the complaint on November 14, 2011, and also asserted declaratory judgment counterclaims of non-infringement and invalidity. On November 28, 2011, all defendants (except AOL, which asserted no such allegation) amended their counterclaims to remove an allegation of unenforceability. On December 5, 2011, I/P Engine filed answers to AOL’s counterclaims. On December 9, 2011, I/P Engine filed answers to the counterclaims of the remaining defendants.

On February 15, 2012, the Court entered a scheduling order in the case setting the claim construction hearing for June 4, 2012 and trial for October 16, 2012. The claim construction hearing is commonly referred to as aMarkman hearing after the Supreme Court case that explained the process by which courts must determine the meaning of particular terms or phrases with the claims asserted in the patent-in-suit. The claims in a patent are what determine the scope of the patent’s right to exclude infringing technology. Each claim comprises a set of limitations: specific terms or phrases that define the technology covered by the claim. The parties will apply that claim construction when presenting the case to the jury.

On March 15, 2012, Google submitted a request to the USPTO forex parte reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 6,314,420, one of the two patents-in-suit. The request was deposited on March 16, 2012 and was assigned Control No. 90/009,991. Innovate/Protect expected Google to seek reexamination and believes this request is a standard and typical tactic used by defendants in patent litigation cases. The filing of a request for reexamination is the first step in a process that ordinarily takes several years. On April 26, 2012, the USPTO vacated Google’s request for ex parte reexamination for failing to follow to the requirements set forth in the USPTO’s regulations. On May 24, 2012, Google submitted their request to the USPTO. This resubmission purports to address the issues identified by the USPTO. Google’s request has not resulted in any delay of the dates set out in the Court's scheduling order dated February 15, 2012.

Discovery has commenced; the parties have served and responded to written discovery requests and have produced documents. Further discovery, including depositions, is expected to occur in the next few months. Near the end of discovery, the parties will exchange expert reports. Innovate/Protect expects that defendants will make several attempts to avoid trial.

Within the Markman, or claim construction process, the court reviewed the parties competing definitions for specific terms within the asserted claims. Both parties submitted two rounds of briefing to the court that provided arguments for their proposed definitions. The opening claim construction briefs were filed on April 12, 2012, and the responsive claim construction briefs were filed on May 3, 2012. At the Markman hearing on June 4, 2012, the court heard arguments from both sides in support of their positions. On June 15, 2012, the court issued a Memorandum Opinion & Order providing binding definitions for the contested terms. The court’s definitions to the patent claims established the boundary markings of the claimed technology and inform both parties’ expert reports and testimony as well as the parties’ arguments to the jury. The court’s Memorandum Opinion & Order construing the contested terms is publicly available on the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) electronic public access service at http://www.pacer.uscourts.gov/, and was also filed by Vringo with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Although Innovate/Protect’s intention is to expand its business through the acquisition of additional patent and intellectual property assets, the viability of Innovate/Protect currently depends on the outcome of this lawsuit.

NYSE Amex

On April 26, 2012, the NYSE Amex notified us that it had resolved the continued listing deficiency referenced in the NYSE Amex’s letter dated May 24, 2011, which stated that we were not in compliance with Section 1003(a) (iv) of the NYSE Amex’s continued listing standards. The NYSE Amex’s conclusion was based on a review of available information, including our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our continued listing eligibility will be assessed on an ongoing basis.

We may not be able to consummate our Merger with Innovate/Protect.

On March 12, 2012, we entered into a Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Innovate/Protect will merge with and into our wholly owned subsidiary, Merger Sub, with Merger Sub beingraise additional capital. Moreover, additional financing may have an adverse effect on the surviving corporation through an exchange of capital stock of Innovate/Protect for our capital stock of Vringo. The consummationvalue of the transaction with Innovate/Protect is subject to stockholders approval and other closing conditions. We have expended significant effort and management attention on the proposed transaction. There is no assurance that the transaction will be approved. For example, our stockholders may not approve the transaction. If the transaction is not consummated for any reason, our business and operations, as well as the market price of our stock and warrants may be adversely affected.

The issuance of our shares of common stock to Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger will substantially dilute the voting power of our current stockholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, it is anticipated that we will issue equity instruments to Innovate/Protect stockholders representing approximately 67.82% of the outstanding equity instruments of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis as of immediately following the completion of the Merger. After such issuance, our equity instruments outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger will represent approximately 32.18% of the outstanding equity instruments of the combined company, calculated on a fully diluted basis as of immediately following the completion of the Merger. Accordingly, the issuance of our equity instruments Innovate/Protect stockholders in connection with the Merger will significantly reduce the relative voting power of each share of our common stock held by our current stockholders.

To date, we have generated only losses, which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

As of March 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $3.6 million and $2.7 million of net working capital. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the cumulative period from inception until March 31, 2012, we incurred net losses of $5.6 million, $1.1 million and $43.2 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2012, our deficit in stockholders' equity was $1.0 million.

 

We expect our net losses to continue in the foreseeable future, as we continue to grow our user base through carrier partnerships, continue to ensure we have broad handset reach, enhance our viral and social tools, maintain and grow our product and technology portfolio, build a strong revenue base of recurring monthly subscription revenue, find new forms of distribution, and explore monetization through advertising and revenue through content sales.

We are a development stage company with no significant source of income and our there is a significant doubt about our ability to continue our activities as a going concern.

We are still a development stage company. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in development stage companies which do not have significant revenues or operating income. Our potential for success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with a new business, especially technology start-up companies. We cannot provide any assurance that our business objectives will be accomplished. All of our audited consolidated financial statements since inception have contained a statement by our management that raises significant doubt about us being able to continue as a going concern unless we are able to raise additional capital. Our financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our operations cease.

We believe that current cash levels will be sufficient to support our activity into the first quarter of 2013. The continuation of our business is dependent upon the successful consummation of our Merger with Innovate/Protect, or similar merger or acquisition, financing and upon the further development of our products.

Since it is impossible to predict the timing and amount of any recovery, if any, resulting from the Innovate/Protect litigation, we anticipate that we will needmay choose to raise additional funds in connection with any potential acquisition of operating businesses or other assets. In addition, we may also need additional funds to respond to business opportunities and challenges, including our ongoing operating expenses, protection of our assets, development of new lines of business and enhancement of our operating infrastructure. While we may need to seek additional funding, we may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, the terms of our financings may be dilutive to, or otherwise adversely affect, holders of our common stock. We may also seek additional funds through equity offerings in orderarrangements with collaborators or other third parties. We may not be able to meet our liquidity requirements in the second half of 2012. After taking into effect the Merger with Innovate/Protect,negotiate arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to obtain additional resources thatfunding on a timely basis, we may be required for the continuationto curtail or terminate some or all of the combined operations approximates $4.3 million and $11.8 million, for the twelve month periods ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014, respectively.our business plans. Any such financing that we undertake will likely be dilutive to our current stockholders.

 

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2018, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of $150,926,000 which expire 20 years from the respective tax years to which they relate, and $23,139,000 for U.S. federal purposes with an indefinite life due to new regulations in the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”). Our ability to utilize our NOLs may be limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The exerciselimitations apply if an ownership change, as defined by Section 382, occurs. Generally, an ownership change occurs when certain stockholders increase their aggregate ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage in a testing period (typically three years). Additionally, United States tax laws limit the time during which these carryforwards may be utilized against future taxes. As a result, we may not be able to take full advantage of these carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes. Future changes in stock ownership may also trigger an ownership change and, consequently, a substantialSection 382 limitation.

The recently passed comprehensive federal tax reform bill could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law the TCJA, which significantly reformed the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The TCJA, among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, the limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense to 30% of adjusted earnings (except for certain small businesses), the limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks and modification or repeal of many business deductions and credits. We continue to examine the impact this tax reform legislation may have on our business. However, the effect of the TCJA on our business, whether adverse or favorable, is uncertain, and may not become evident for some period of time. We urge investors to consult with their legal and tax advisers regarding the implications of the TCJA on an investment in our common stock.

Global economic and market conditions may adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our business plan depends significantly on worldwide economic conditions and our success is dependent on consumer spending, which is sensitive to economic downturns, inflation and any associated rise in unemployment, decline in consumer confidence, adverse changes in exchange rates, increase in interest rates, increase in the price of oil, deflation, direct or indirect taxes or increase in consumer debt levels. As a result, economic downturns may have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, uncertainty about global economic conditions poses a risk as businesses and individuals may postpone spending in response to tighter credit, negative financial news and declines in income or asset values. This could have a negative effect on corporate and individual spending on health and wellness and travel. These factors, taken together or individually, could cause material harm to our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Risks Related to our Business Operations

We are reliant on international and domestic airplane travel, and the time that airline passengers spend in United States airports post-security. A decrease in airline travel, a decrease in the desire of customers to buy spa services and products, or decreased time spent in airports would negatively impact our operations.

We depend upon a large number of warrants airplane travelers with the propensity for health and wellness, and in particular spa treatments and products, spending significant time post- security clearance check points.

If the number of airline travelers decreases, if the time that these travelers spend post-security decreases, and/or options byif travelers’ ability or willingness to pay for our security holders mayproducts and services diminishes, this could have an adverse effect on our growth, business activities, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations. Some reasons for these events could include:

·terrorist activities (including cyber-attacks), pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases, such as the Zika or Ebola crises, impacting either domestic or international travel through airports where we operate, causing fear of flying, flight cancellations, or an economic downturn, or any other event of a similar nature, even if not directly affecting the airline industry, may lead to a significant reduction in the number of airline passengers;

·a decrease in business spending that impacts business travel, such as a recession;

·a decrease in consumer spending that impacts leisure travel, such as a recession or a stock market downturn or a change in consumer lending regulations impacting available credit for leisure travel;

·an increase in airfare prices that impacts the willingness of air travelers to fly, such as an increase in oil prices or heightened taxation from federal or other aviation authorities;

·severe weather, ash clouds, airport closures, natural disasters, strikes or accidents (airplane or otherwise), causing travelers to decrease the amount that they fly and any of these events, or any other event of a similar nature, even if not directly affecting the airline industry, may lead to a significant reduction in the number of airline passengers;

·scientific studies that malign the use of spa services or the products used in spa services, such as the impact of certain chemicals and procedures on health and wellness; or

·streamlined security screening checkpoints, which could decrease the wait time at checkpoints and therefore the time air travelers’ budget for spending time at the airport.

Further, any disruption to, or suspension of services provided by, airlines and the travel industry as a result of financial difficulties, labor disputes, construction work, increased security, changes to regulations governing airlines, mergers and acquisitions in the airline industry and challenging economic conditions causing airlines to reduce flight schedules or increase the price of airline tickets could negatively affect the number of airline passengers.

Additionally, the threat of terrorism and governmental measures in response thereto, such as increased security measures, recent executive orders in the United States impacting entry into the United States and changing attitudes towards the environmental impacts of air travel may in each case reduce demand for air travel and, as a result, decrease airline passenger traffic at airports.

The effect that these factors would have on our business depends on their magnitude and duration, and a reduction in airline passenger numbers will result in a decrease in our sales and may have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our success will depend in part on relationships with third parties. Any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our success is dependent on our ability to maintain and renew our business relationships and to establish new business relationships. There can be no assurance that our management will be able to maintain such business relationships or enter into or maintain new business contracts and other business relationships, on acceptable terms, if at all. The failure to maintain important business relationships could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.


We rely on a limited number of distributors and suppliers for certain of our products, and events outside our control may disrupt our supply chain, which could result in an inability to perform our obligations under our concession agreements and ultimately cause us to lose our concessions.

We rely on a small number of suppliers for our products. As a result, these distributors may have increased bargaining power and we may be required to accept less favorable purchasing terms. In the event of a dispute with a supplier or distributor, the delivery of a significant amount of merchandise may be delayed or cancelled, or we may be forced to purchase merchandise from other suppliers on less favorable terms. Such events could cause turnover to fall or costs to increase, adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, we have publicized our sale of certain brands of products in our stores – our failure to sell these brands may adversely affect our business.

Further, damage or disruption to our supply chain due to any of the following could impair our ability to sell our products: adverse weather conditions or natural disaster, government action, fire, terrorism, cyber-attacks, the outbreak or escalation of armed hostilities, pandemic, industrial accidents or other occupational health and safety issues, strikes and other labor disputes, customs or import restrictions or other reasons beyond our control or the control of our suppliers and business partners. Failure to take adequate steps to mitigate the likelihood or potential impact of such events, or to effectively manage such events if they occur, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as require additional resources to restore our supply chain.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly due to certain factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period significantly because of several factors, including:

·the timing and size of new unit openings, particularly the launch of new terminals;

·passenger traffic and seasonality of air travel;

·changes in the price and availability of supplies;

·macroeconomic conditions, both nationally and locally;

·changes in consumer preferences and competitive conditions;

·expansion to new markets and new locations; and

·increases in infrastructure costs, including those costs associated with the build-out of new concession locations and renovating existing concession locations.

Our operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of the factors discussed above. Accordingly, results for any period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other period or for any year.

Our expansion into new airports or off-airport locations may present increased risks due to our unfamiliarity with those areas.

Our growth strategy depends upon expanding into markets where we have little or no meaningful operating experience. Those locations may have demographic characteristics, consumer tastes and discretionary spending patterns that are different from those in the markets where our existing operations are located. As a result, new airport terminal and/or off-airport operations may be less successful than existing concession locations in current airport terminals. We may find it more difficult in new markets to hire, motivate and keep qualified employees who can project our vision, passion and culture. We may also be unfamiliar with local laws, regulations and administrative procedures, including the procurement of spa services retail licenses, in new markets which could delay the build-out of new concession locations and prevent us from achieving our target revenues on a timely basis. Operations in new markets may also have lower average revenues or enplanements than in the markets where we currently operate. Operations in new markets may also take longer to ramp up and reach expected sales and profit levels, and may never do so, thereby negatively affecting our results of operations.


Our growth strategy is highly dependent on our ability to successfully identify and open new locations.

Our growth strategy primarily contemplates expansion through procuring new locations and opening new stores and kiosks. Implementing this strategy depends on our ability to successfully identify new store locations. We will also need to assess and mitigate the risk of any new store locations, to open the stores on favorable terms and to successfully integrate their operations with ours. We may not be able to successfully identify opportunities that meet these criteria, or, if they do, we may not be able to successfully negotiate and open new stores on a timely basis. If we are unable to identify and open new locations in accordance with our operating plan, our revenue growth rate and financial performance may fall short of our expectations.

Our profitability depends on the number of airline passengers in the terminals in which we have concessions. Changes by airport authorities or airlines that lower the number of airline passengers in any of these terminals could affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The number of airline passengers that visit the terminals in which we have concessions is dependent in part on decisions made by airlines and airport authorities relating to flight arrivals and departures. A decrease in the number of flights and resulting decrease in airline passengers could result in fewer sales, which could lower our profitability and negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Concession agreements generally provide for a minimum annual guaranteed payment (“MAG”) payable to the airport authority or landlord regardless of the amount of sales at the concession. Currently, the majority of our concession agreements provide for a MAG that is either a fixed dollar amount or an amount that is variable based upon the number of travelers using the airport or other location, retail space used, estimated sales, past results or other metrics. If there are fewer airline passengers than expected or if there is a decline in the sales per airline passenger at these facilities, we will nonetheless be required to pay the MAG or fixed rent and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

Furthermore, the exit of an airline from a market or the bankruptcy of an airline could reduce the number of airline passengers in a terminal or airport where we operate and have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not be able to execute our growth strategy to expand and integrate new concessions or future acquisitions into our business or remodel existing concessions. Any new concessions, future acquisitions or remodeling of existing concessions may divert management resources, result in unanticipated costs, or dilute the ownership of our stockholders.

Part of our growth strategy is to expand and remodel our existing facilities and to seek new concessions through tenders, direct negotiations or other acquisition opportunities. In this regard, our future growth will depend upon a number of factors, such as our ability to identify any such opportunities, structure a competitive proposal and obtain required financing and consummate an offer. Our growth strategy will also depend on factors that may not be within our control, such as the timing of any concession or acquisition opportunity.

We must also strategically identify which airport terminals and concession agreements to target based on numerous factors, such as airline passenger numbers, airport size, the type, location and quality of available concession space, level of anticipated competition within the terminal, potential future growth within the airport and terminal, rental structure, financial return and regulatory requirements. We cannot provide assurance that this strategy will be successful.

In addition, we may encounter difficulties integrating expanded or new concessions or any acquisitions. Such expanded or new concessions or acquisitions may not achieve anticipated turnover and earnings growth or synergies and cost savings. Delays in the commencement of new projects and the refurbishment of concessions can also affect our business. In addition, we will expend resources to remodel our concessions and may not be able to recoup these investments. A failure to grow successfully may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


In particular, new concessions and acquisitions, and in some cases future expansions and remodeling of existing concessions, could pose numerous risks to our operations, including that we may:

·have difficulty integrating operations or personnel;

·incur substantial unanticipated integration costs;

·experience unexpected construction and development costs and project delays;

·face difficulties associated with securing required governmental approvals, permits and licenses (including construction permits) in a timely manner and responding effectively to any changes in federal, state or local laws and regulations that adversely affect our costs or ability to open new concessions;

·have challenges identifying and engaging local business partners to meet ACDBE requirements in concession agreements;

·not be able to obtain construction materials or labor at acceptable costs;

·face engineering or environmental problems associated with our new and existing facilities;

·experience significant diversion of management attention and financial resources from our existing operations in order to integrate expanded, new or acquired businesses, which could disrupt our ongoing business;

·lose key employees, particularly with respect to acquired or new operations;

·have difficulty retaining or developing acquired or new business customers;

·impair our existing business relationships with suppliers or other third parties as a result of acquisitions;

·fail to realize the potential cost savings or other financial benefits and/or the strategic benefits of acquisitions, new concessions or remodeling; and

·incur liabilities from the acquired businesses and we may not be successful in seeking indemnification for such liabilities.

In connection with acquisitions or other similar investments, we could incur debt or amortization expenses related to intangible assets, suffer asset impairments, assume liabilities or issue stock that would dilute the percentage of ownership of our then-current stockholders. We may not be able to complete acquisitions or integrate the operations, products, technologies or personnel gained through any such acquisition, which may have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If the estimates and assumptions we use to determine the size of our market are inaccurate, our future growth rate may be impacted.

Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts are subject to uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The estimates and forecasts in this annual report relating to the size and expected growth of the travel retail market may prove to be inaccurate. Even if the market in which we compete meets our size estimates and forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. The principal assumptions relating to our market opportunity include projected growth in the travel retail market and our share of the market. If these assumptions prove inaccurate, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.


Our business requires substantial capital expenditures and we may not have access to the capital required to maintain and grow our operations.

Maintaining and expanding our operations in our existing and new retail locations is capital intensive. Specifically, the construction, redesign and maintenance of our retail space in airport terminals where we operate, technology costs, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations require substantial capital expenditures. We may require additional capital in the future to fund our operations and respond to potential strategic opportunities, such as investments, acquisitions and expansions.

We must continue to invest capital to maintain or to improve the success of our concessions and to meet refurbishment requirements in our concessions. Decisions to expand into new terminals could also affect our capital needs. Our actual capital expenditures in any year will vary depending on, among other things, the extent to which we are successful in renewing existing concessions and winning additional concession agreements.

We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to maintain our operating performance, generate sufficient cash flow, or have access to sufficient financing to continue our operations and development activities at or above our present levels, and we may be required to defer all or a portion of our capital expenditures. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected if we cannot make such capital expenditures.

We currently rely on a skilled, licensed labor force to provide spa services, and the supply of this labor force is finite. If we cannot hire adequate staff for our locations, we will not be able to operate.

As of November 30, 2019, we had approximately 550 full-time and 200 part-time employees in our locations. Excluding some dedicated retail staff, the majority of these employees are licensed to perform spa services, and hold such licenses as masseuses, nail technicians, aestheticians, barbers and master barbers. The demand for these licensed technicians has been increasing as more consumers gravitate to health and wellness treatments such as spa services. We compete not only with other airport-based spa companies but with spa companies outside of the airport for this skilled labor force. In addition, all staff hired by us must pass the background checks and security clearances necessary to work in airport locations. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified staff to work in our airport locations, our ability to operate will be impacted negatively.

Our business is subject to various laws and regulations, and changes in such laws and regulations, or failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations, could adversely affect us.

We are subject to various laws and regulations in the United States, Netherlands and United Arab Emirates that affect the operation of our concessions. The impact of current laws and regulations, the effect of changes in laws or regulations that impose additional requirements and the consequences of litigation relating to current or future laws and regulations, or our inability to respond effectively to significant regulatory or public policy issues, could increase our compliance and other costs of doing business and, therefore, have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Failure to comply with the laws and regulatory requirements of governmental authorities could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal liability. In addition, certain laws may require us to expend significant funds to make modifications to our concessions in order to comply with applicable standards. Compliance with such laws and regulations can be costly and can increase our exposure to litigation or governmental investigations or proceedings.

Our labor force could unionize, putting upward pressure on labor costs.

Currently, our stores in two airports have a labor force which is unionized. Major players in labor organization, and in particular “Unite Here!” which represents approximately 45,000 employees in the airport concessions and airline catering industries, could target our locations for its unionization efforts. In the event of the successful unionization of all of our labor force, we would likely incur additional costs in the form of higher wages, more benefits such as vacation and sick leave, and potentially also higher health care insurance costs.


We compete for new locations in airports and may not be able to secure new locations.

We participate in the highly competitive and lucrative airport concessions industry, and as a result compete for retail leases with a variety of larger, better capitalized concessions companies as well as smaller, mid-tier and single unit operators. Frequently, an airport includes a spa concept within its retail product set and, in those instances, we compete primarily with BeRelax, Terminal Getaway, Massage Bar and 10 Minute Manicure.

We may not be able to predict accurately or fulfill customer preferences or demands.

We derive a significant amount of our revenue from the sale of massage, cosmetic and luxury products which are subject to rapidly changing customer tastes. The availability of new products and changes in customer preferences has made it more difficult to predict sales demand for these types of products accurately. Our success depends in part on our ability to predict and respond to quickly changing consumer demands and preferences, and to translate market trends into appropriate merchandise offerings. Additionally, due to our limited sales space relative to other retailers, the proper selection of salable merchandise is an important factor in revenue generation. We cannot provide assurance that our merchandise selection will correspond to actual sales demand. If we are unable to predict or rapidly respond to sales demand or to changing styles or trends, or if we experience inventory shortfalls on popular merchandise, our revenue may be lower, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our leases may be terminated, either for convenience by the landlord or as a result of a default by us.

We have store locations and kiosks in a number of airports in which the landlord, with prior written notice to us, can terminate our lease, including for convenience or as necessary for airport purposes or operations. If a landlord elects to terminate a lease at an airport, we may have to shut down one or more store locations at that airport.

Additionally, our leases have numerous provisions governing the operation of our stores. Violation of one or more of these provisions, even unintentionally, may result in the landlord finding that we are in default of the lease. Violation of lease provisions may result in fines and, in some cases, termination of a lease.

Our ability to operate depends on the traffic patterns of the terminals in which we operates, and the cessation or disruption of air traveler traffic in these terminals would negatively impact our addressable market.

We depend on a high volume of air travelers in our terminals. It is possible that a terminal in which we operate could become subject to a lower volume of air travelers, which would significantly impact traffic near and around our locations and therefore our total addressable market. Lower volume in a terminal could be caused by:

·terminal construction that results in the temporary or permanent closure of a unit, or adversely impacts the volume or pattern of traffic flows within an airport;

·an airline utilizing an airport in which we operate could abandon that airport or an individual terminal in favor of other airports or terminals, or because it is contracting operations; or

·adverse weather conditions could cause damage to the terminal or airport in which we operate, resulting in the temporary or permanent closure of a unit.

We are dependent on our local partners.

Our local partners, including our Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“ACDBE”) partners, maintain ownership interests in certain of our locations. Our participation in these operating entities differs from market to market. While the precise terms of each relationship vary, our local partners may have control over certain portions of the operations of these concessions. The stores are operated pursuant to the applicable joint venture agreement governing the relationship between us and our local partner. Generally, these agreements also provide that strategic decisions are to be made by a committee comprised of us and our local partner. These concessions involve risks that are different from the risks involved in operating a concession independently, and include the possibility that our local partners:


·are in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, our requests, our policies, our objectives or applicable laws;

·take actions that reduce our return on investment;

·go bankrupt or are otherwise unable to meet their capital contribution obligations;

·have economic or business interests or goals that are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals; or

·take actions that harm our reputation or restrict our ability to run our business.

Failure to comply with minimum airport concession disadvantaged business enterprise participation goals and requirements could lead to lost business opportunities or the loss of existing business.

Pursuant to ACDBE participation requirements, we are often required to meet, or use good faith efforts to meet, certain minimum ACDBE participation requirements when bidding on or submitting proposals for new concession contracts. If we are unable to find and/or partner with an appropriate ACDBE, we may lose opportunities to open new locations. In addition, a number of our existing leases contain minimum ACDBE participation requirements which require the ACDBE to own a significant portion of the business being operated under those leases. The level of ACDBE participation requirements may affect our profitability and/or our ability to meet financial forecasts.

Further, if we fail to comply with the minimum ACDBE participation requirements, we may be held responsible for a breach of contract, which could result in the termination of a lease and impairment of our ability to bid on or obtain future concession contracts. To the extent that our leases are terminated and we are required to shut down one or more store locations, there could be a material adverse impact to our business and results of operations.

Continued minimum wage increases would negatively impact our cost of labor.

We compensate our licensed technicians via a formula that includes commissions. As a result, an increase in the minimum wage would increase our cost of labor and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Information technology systems failure or disruption, or changes to information technology related to payment systems, could impact our day-to-day operations.

Our information technology systems are used to record and process transactions at our point-of-sale interfaces and to manage our operations. These systems provide information regarding most aspects of our financial and operational performance, statistical data about our customers, our sales transactions and our inventory management. Fire, natural disasters, power-loss, telecommunications failure, break-ins, terrorist attacks (including cyber-attacks), computer viruses, electronic intrusion attempts from both external and internal sources and similar events or disruptions may damage or impact our information technology systems at any time. These events could cause system interruption, delays or loss of critical data and could disrupt our acceptance and fulfillment of customer orders, as well as disrupt our operations and management. For example, although our point-of-sales systems are programmed to operate and process customer orders independently from the availability of our central data systems and even of the network, if a problem were to disable electronic payment systems in our stores, credit card payments would need to be processed manually, which could result in fewer transactions. Significant disruption to systems could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also continually enhance or modify the technology used for our operations. We cannot be sure that any enhancements or other modifications we make to our operations will achieve the intended results or otherwise be of value to our customers. Future enhancements and modifications to our technology could consume considerable resources. We may be required to enhance our payment systems with new technology, which could require significant expenditures. If we are unable to maintain and enhance our technology to process transactions, we may experience a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


If we are unable to protect our customers’ credit card data and other personal information, we could be exposed to data loss, litigation and liability, and our reputation could be significantly harmed.

Privacy protection is increasingly demanding, and the use of electronic payment methods and collection of other personal information, including order history, travel history and other preferences, exposes us to increased risk of privacy and/or security breaches as well as other risks. The majority of our sales are by credit or debit cards. Additionally, we collect and store personal information from individuals, including our customers and employees.

In the future, we may experience security breaches in which credit and debit card information or other personal information is stolen. Although we use secure private networks to transmit confidential information, third parties may have the technology or know-how to breach the security of the customer information transmitted in connection with credit and debit card sales, and our security measures and those of technology vendors may not effectively prohibit others from obtaining improper access to this information. The techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently and are often difficult to detect for long periods of time, which may cause a breach to go undetected for an extensive period of time. Advances in computer and software capabilities, new tools, and other developments may increase the risk of such a breach. Further, the systems currently used for transmission and approval of electronic payment transactions, and the technology utilized in electronic payments themselves, all of which can put electronic payment at risk, are determined and controlled by the payment card industry, not by us. In addition, contractors, or third parties with whom we do business or to whom we outsource business operations may attempt to circumvent our security measures in order to misappropriate such information and may purposefully or inadvertently cause a breach involving such information. If a person is able to circumvent our security measures or those of third parties, he or she could destroy or steal valuable information or disrupt our operations. We may become subject to claims for purportedly fraudulent transactions arising out of the actual or alleged theft of credit or debit card information, and we may also be subject to lawsuits or other proceedings relating to these types of incidents. Any such claim or proceeding could cause us to incur significant unplanned expenses, which could have an adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Further, adverse publicity resulting from these allegations could significantly harm our reputation and may have a material adverse effect on it. Although we carry cyber liability insurance to protect against these risks, there can be no assurance that such insurance will provide adequate levels of coverage against all potential claims.

Negative social media regarding us could result in decreased revenues and impact our ability to recruit workers.

Our affinity among consumers is highly dependent on their positive feelings about the brand, our customer service and the range and quality of services and products that we offer. A negative customer experience that is posted to social media outlets and is distributed virally could tarnish our brand and our customers may opt to no longer engage with the brand.

We employ people in multiple different jurisdictions, and the employment laws of those jurisdictions are subject to change. In addition, our services are regulated through government-issued operating licenses. Noncompliance with applicable laws could result in employee lawsuits or legal action taken by government authorities.

We must comply with a variety of employment and business practices laws across the United States, Netherlands and United Arab Emirates. We monitor the laws governing our activities, but in the event we do not become aware of a new regulation or fail to comply with a regulation, we could be subject to disciplinary action by governing bodies and potentially employee lawsuits.

We are not currently cash flow positive and will depend on funding to open new locations. In the event that capital is unavailable, we will not be able to open new locations.

Throughout our operating history, we have not generated sufficient cash from operations to fund our new store development. As a result, we will be dependent upon additional funding for our new location growth until such time as we can produce enough cash to profitably fund our own location growth.

We source, develop and sell products that may result in product liability defense costs and product liability payments.

Our products contain ingredients that are deemed to be safe by the United States Federal Drug Administration and the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act. However, there is no guarantee that these ingredients will not cause adverse health effects to some consumers given the wide range of ingredients and allergies amongst the general population. We may face substantial product liability exposure for products we sell to the general public or that is used in our services. Product liability claims, regardless of their merits, could be costly and divert management’s attention, and adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products and services. We to date have not been named as a defendant in any product liability action.


We have commenced legal proceedings and/or licensing discussions with security, content distribution and/or telecommunications companies. We expect that licensing discussions may be time consuming and may either, absent any litigation we initiate, fail to lead to a license, or may result in litigations commenced by the potential licensee.

To license or otherwise monetize the patent assets that we own, we have commenced legal proceedings and/or attempted to commence licensing discussions with a number of companies, during the course of which we allege that such companies infringe one or more of our patents. The future viability of our licensing program is highly dependent on the outcome of these discussions, and there is a risk that we may be unable to achieve the results we desire from such negotiations and be forced either to accept minimal royalties or commence litigations against the alleged infringer. In addition, the recipients of our licensing overtures have substantially more resources than we do, which could make our licensing efforts more difficult. Furthermore, due to changes in the approach to patent laws around the world it has become much easier for potential licensees to commence proceedings to revoke or otherwise nullify our patents in lieu of engaging in bona fide licensing discussions. There is a real risk that any potential licensee we approach would rather commence proceedings to revoke our patents than engage in any licensing discussions whatsoever.

We anticipate that any legal proceedings could continue for several years. While we endeavor, where possible, to engage counsel on a full or partial contingency basis, proceedings may commence that fall outside of contingency arrangements with counsel and may require significant expenditures for legal fees and other expenses. Disputes regarding the assertion of patents and other intellectual property rights are highly complex and technical. Once initiated, we may be forced to litigate against other parties in addition to the originally named defendants. Our adversaries may allege defenses and/or file counterclaims for, among other things, revocation of our patents or file collateral litigations in an effort to avoid or limit liability and damages for patent infringement. If such actions by our adversaries are successful, they may preclude our ability to derive licensing revenue from the patents being asserted.

There is a risk that we may be unable to achieve the results we desire from such litigation, which may harm our business. In addition, the defendants in these litigations have substantially more resources than we do, which could make our litigation efforts more difficult.

There is a risk that a court will find our patents invalid, not infringed or unenforceable and/or that the USPTO or other relevant patent offices in various countries will either invalidate the patents or materially narrow the scope of their claims during the course of a reexamination, opposition or other such proceeding. In addition, even with a positive trial court verdict, the patents may be invalidated, found not infringed or rendered unenforceable on appeal. This risk may occur either presently or from time to time in connection with future litigations we may bring.

Patent litigation is inherently risky and the outcome is uncertain. Some of the parties that we believe infringe on our patents are large and well-financed companies with substantially greater resources than ours. We believe that these parties may devote a substantial amount of resources in an attempt to avoid or limit a finding that they are liable for infringing on our patents or, in the event liability is found, to avoid or limit the amount of associated damages. In addition, there is a risk that these parties may file reexaminations or other proceedings with the USPTO or other government agencies in the United States or abroad in an attempt to invalidate, narrow the scope or render unenforceable the patents we own. In addition, as part of our ongoing legal proceedings, the validity and/or enforceability of our patents-in-suit is often challenged in a court or an administrative proceeding.

We may not be able to successfully monetize our patents and, thus, we may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of acquisitions from third parties.

There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully monetize the patent portfolios that we acquired from third parties. The patents we acquired could fail to produce anticipated benefits or could have other adverse effects that we currently do not foresee.

In addition, the acquisition of a patent portfolio is subject to a number of risks, including, but not limited to the following:

·There is a significant time lag between acquiring a patent portfolio and recognizing revenue from those patent assets, if at all. During that time lag, material costs are likely to be incurred that would have a negative effect on our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

·The integration of a patent portfolio is a time consuming and expensive process that may disrupt our operations. If our integration efforts are not successful, our results of operations could be harmed. In addition, we may not achieve anticipated synergies or other benefits from such acquisition.

Therefore, there is no assurance that we will be able to monetize an acquired patent portfolio and recoup our investment.


We and our subsidiaries have been, are, and may become involved in litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our businesses.

Litigation often is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our businesses. We may be exposed to claims against us even if no wrongdoing has occurred. Responding to such claims, regardless of their merit, can be time-consuming, costly to defend, disruptive to our management’s attention and to our resources, damaging to our reputation and brand, and may cause us to incur significant expenses. Even if we are indemnified against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual obligations.

New legislation, regulations or court rulings related to enforcing patents could harm our business and operating results.

Intellectual property is the subject of intense scrutiny by the courts, legislatures and executive branches of governments around the world. Various patent offices, governments or intergovernmental bodies may implement new legislation, regulations or rulings that impact the patent enforcement process, or the rights of patent holders and such changes could negatively affect licensing efforts and/or litigations. For example, limitations on the ability to bring patent enforcement claims, limitations on potential liability for patent infringement, lower evidentiary standards for invalidating patents, increases in the cost to resolve patent disputes and other similar developments could negatively affect our ability to assert our patent or other intellectual property rights.

It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any of the proposals will become enacted as laws. Compliance with any new or existing laws or regulations could be difficult and expensive, affect the manner in which we conduct our business and negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our failure or inability to protect the trademarks or other proprietary rights we use, or claims of infringement by us of rights of third parties, could adversely affect our competitive position or the value of our brands.

We believe that our trademarks and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. However, any actions that we take to protect the intellectual property we use may not prevent unauthorized use or imitation by others, which could have an adverse impact on our image, brand or competitive position. If we commence litigation to protect our interests or enforce our rights, we could incur significant legal fees. We also cannot provide assurance that third parties will not claim infringement by us of their proprietary rights. Any such claim, whether or not it has merit, could be time consuming and distracting for our management, result in costly litigation, cause changes to existing retail concepts or delays in introducing retail concepts, or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. As a result, any such claim could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Future acquisitions or business opportunities could involve unknown risks that could harm our business and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We have in the past, and may in the future, acquire businesses or make investments, directly or indirectly through our subsidiaries, that involve unknown risks, some of which will be particular to the industry in which the investment or acquisition targets operate, including risks in industries with which we are not familiar or experienced. Although we intend to conduct appropriate business, financial and legal due diligence in connection with the evaluation of future investment or acquisition opportunities, there can be no assurance that our due diligence investigations will identify every matter that could have a material adverse effect on us. We may be unable to adequately address the financial, legal and operational risks raised by such investments or acquisitions, especially if we are unfamiliar with the relevant industry. The realization of any unknown risks could expose us to unanticipated costs and liabilities and prevent or limit us from realizing the projected benefits of the investments or acquisitions, which could adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and trading price.

Anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law, provisions in our charter and bylaws, and our stockholder rights plan could prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change our Board of Directors or current management and could delay, discourage or make more difficult a third-party acquisition of control of us.

We are a Delaware corporation and, as such, certain provisions of Delaware law could prevent or frustrate attempts by stockholders to change the Board of Directors or current management, or could delay, discourage or make more difficult a third-party acquisition of control of us, even if the change in control would be beneficial to stockholders or the stockholders regard it as such. We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), which prohibits certain “business combination” transactions (as defined in Section 203) with an “interested stockholder” (defined in Section 203 as a 15% or greater stockholder) for a period of three years after a stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder,” unless the attaining of “interested stockholder” status or the transaction is pre-approved by our Board of Directors, the transaction results in the attainment of at least an 85% ownership level by an acquirer or the transaction is later approved by our Board of Directors and by our stockholders by at least a 662/3 percent vote of our stockholders other than the “interested stockholder,” each as specifically provided in Section 203.

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws, each as currently in effect, also contain certain provisions that may delay, discourage or make more difficult a third-party acquisition of control of us. Such provisions include a provision that any vacancies on our Board of Directors may only be filled by a majority of the directors then serving, although not a quorum, and not by the stockholders and the ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock, without stockholder approval, that could dilute the stock ownership of a potential unsolicited acquirer and hinder an acquisition of control of us that is not approved by our Board of Directors, including through the use of preferred stock in connection with a stockholder rights plan.

We have also adopted a stockholder rights plan in the form of a Section 382 Rights Plan, designed to help protect and preserve our substantial tax attributes primarily associated with our NOLs under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and research tax credits under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code and related United States Treasury regulations, which was approved by our stockholders in December 2016 and expires in March 2022. Although this is not the purpose of the Section 382 Rights Plan, it could have the effect of making it uneconomical for a third party to acquire us on a hostile basis.

These provisions of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and our Section 382 Rights Plan may delay, discourage or make more difficult certain types of transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over the current market price, and might limit the ability of our stockholders to approve transactions that they think may be in their best interest.


Our confidential information may be disclosed by other parties.

We routinely enter into non-disclosure agreements with other parties, including but not limited to vendors, law firms, parties with whom we are engaged in negotiations, and employees. However, there exists a risk that those other parties will not honor their contractual obligations to not disclose our confidential information. This may include parties who breach such obligations in the context of confidential settlement offers and/or negotiations. In addition, there exists a risk that, upon such breach and subsequent dissemination of our confidential information, third parties and potential licensees may seek to use such confidential information to their advantage and/or to our disadvantage including in legal proceedings in which we are involved. Our ability to act against such third parties may be limited, as we may not be in privity of contract with such third parties.

Risks Related to our Capital Stock

Stock prices can be volatile, and this volatility may depress the price of our common stock.

The stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, which have affected the market price of many companies in ways that may have been unrelated to those companies’ operating performance. Furthermore, we believe that our stock price may reflect certain future growth and profitability expectations. If we fail to meet these expectations, then our stock price may significantly decline, which could have an adverse impact on investor confidence. We believe that various factors may cause the market price of our common stock.stock to fluctuate, perhaps substantially, including, among others, the following:

 

·additions to or departures of our key personnel;

Should our currently outstanding warrants be exercised, there will be an additional 7,385,364 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. In addition, we currently have options outstanding to purchase 4,634,821 shares of common stock, granted as of the reporting date, to our management, employees, directors and consultants. In March 2012, our Board approved participation of all outstanding options in future dividends, as well as, acceleration of vesting of all outstanding options will accelerate if our common stock reaches certain price or market capitalization targets for 20 of 30 consecutive trading dates, as follows: (i) 50% acceleration if either the price of our common stock is at least $5 or our market capitalization is at least $250,000,000; (ii) 75% acceleration if either the price of our common stock is at least $10 or our market capitalization is $500,000,000 or more; and (iii) 100% acceleration if either the price of our common stock is at least $20 or our market capitalization is at least $1,000,000,000. Furthermore, all outstanding options granted to members of the Board shall fully vest if a Board member ceases to be a director at any time during the six-month period immediately following a change of control. Certain options which are outstanding have exercise prices that are below, and in some cases significantly below, recent market price. Such securities, if exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, the sale, or even the possibility of sale, of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and options could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. The average weighted exercise price of all currently outstanding warrants and options, as of June 13, 2012, is $3.19 per share.

·announcements of innovations by us or our competitors;

·announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, capital commitments, or new technologies;

·new regulatory pronouncements and changes in regulatory guidelines;

·developments or disputes concerning our patents and efforts in licensing and/or enforcing our patents;

·lawsuits, claims, and investigations that may be filed against us, and other events that may adversely affect our reputation;

·changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and

·general and industry-specific economic conditions.

 

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will issueInnovate/Protect stockholders warrants to purchase 15,959,838 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse split. In addition, the issued and outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000 shares of Innovate/Protect’s common stock that are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Merger will be exchanged for 250,000 shares of our common stock and 850,000 warrants to purchase 850,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Finally, all outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Innovate/Protect common stock, whether vested or unvested, will be converted into options to purchase our common stock with the number of shares subject to and the exercise price applicable to such options being appropriately adjusted based on the Common Stock Exchange Ratio. As a result of an approval of the Merger with Innovate/Protect, the total number of warrants and options held by our security holders will be increased by 16,851,016 and the former stockholders of Innovate/Protect (without taking into account any shares of Vringo common stock held by Innovate/Protect stockholders prior to the completion of the Merger) are expected to own approximately 56.30% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 67.82% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis) and the current stockholders of Vringo are expected to own approximately 43.70% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company (or 32.18% of the outstanding common stock of the combined company calculated on a fully diluted basis).

Future sales of our shares of common stock by our stockholders could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is otherwise performing well.

 

As of June 13, 2012,December 2, 2019, we have 14,239,226had 15,152,664 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, excluding shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, options or options.restricted stock units, or preferred stock on an as-converted basis. As shares saleable under Rule 144 are sold or as restrictions on resale need,lapse, the market price of our common stock could drop significantly if the holders of shares of restricted sharesstock sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. This decline in our stock price could occur even if our business is otherwise performing well. We filed Registration Statements for the common stock shares underlying (a) the 2,526,289 of the new warrants issued in June 2012 (including 11,834 warrants issued to our placement agent) and (b)4,634,821 options currently outstanding under our 2006 Stock Option Plan.

 


Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we will issue Innovate/Protect shareholders 17,863,169Ownership of our common stock may be highly concentrated, and it may prevent our existing stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and may result in conflicts of interest that could cause our stock price to decline.

As of December 2, 2019, our executive officers and directors beneficially own or control approximately 36.9% of our common stock on a fully diluted basis. Accordingly, these executive officers and directors, acting individually or as a group, have substantial influence over the outcome of a corporate action requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets or any other significant corporate transaction. These stockholders may also exert influence in delaying or preventing a change in control of us, even if such change in control would benefit our other stockholders. In addition, the significant concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the market value of our common stock due to investors’ perception that conflicts of interest may exist or arise.

The conversion of a substantial number of shares of our preferred stock, the conversion of a substantial amount of notes or the exercise of a substantial number of warrants or options by our security holders may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.

Should our Series E Preferred Stock and Series A ConvertibleF Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 2, 2019 be converted into common stock initially convertibleat a conversion price of $2.00 per share, there would be an additional 1,949,800 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. Should the B3D Note and Calm Notes outstanding as of December 2, 2019 be converted into 20,136,445common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share, there would be an additional 4,845,034 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. Should our warrants outstanding as of December 2, 2019 be exercised, there would be an additional 7,139,194 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. Such securities, if converted or exercised, will increase the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition,Therefore, the outstanding warrant to purchase 250,000sale of the shares of Innovate/Protect’scommon stock underlying these instruments could have an adverse effect on the market price for our securities and/or on our ability to obtain future financing.

We have no current plans to pay dividends on our common stock, and our investors may not receive funds without selling their stock.

We have not declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock, nor do we expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Investors seeking cash dividends should not invest in our common stock for that purpose. We currently intend to retain any additional future earnings to finance our operations and growth and, therefore, we have no plans to pay cash dividends on our common stock at this time. Any future determination to pay cash dividends on our common stock will be exchangedat the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent on our earnings, financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, any contractual restrictions, and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Accordingly, our investors may have to sell some or all of their common stock in order to generate cash from their investment. You may not receive a gain on your investment when you sell our common stock and may lose the entire amount of your investment.

We may fail to meet publicly announced financial guidance or other expectations about our business, which would cause our stock to decline in value.

From time to time, we provide preliminary financial results or forward-looking financial guidance, to our investors. Such statements are based on our current views, expectations and assumptions that may not prove to be accurate and may vary from actual results and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance, achievements or share prices to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements or share prices expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include the risk factors contained herein. If we fail to meet our projections and/or other financial guidance for 250,000 sharesany reason, our stock price could decline.

The market price of our common stock historically has been and 850,000 warrantslikely will continue to purchase 850,000be highly volatile.

The market price for our shares of common stock historically has been highly volatile, and the market for our shares has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, based both on our operating performance and for reasons that appear to be unrelated to our operating performance. The market price of our shares of common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors, including:

·our ability to realize the expected value and benefits of our recent business and asset acquisitions;

·the level of our financial resources;

·our ability to develop and introduce new products and/or develop services;

·developments concerning our intellectual property rights generally or those of us or our competitors;

·our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations and business plan and the effects that such financing may have on the value of the equity instruments held by our stockholders;

·our ability to retain key personnel;

·general economic conditions and level of consumer and corporate spending on health and wellness and travel;

·our ability to hire a skilled labor force and the costs associated;

·our ability to secure new retail locations, maintain existing ones, and ensure continued customer traffic at those locations;

·changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial performance or deviations in our business and the trading price of our common stock from the estimates of securities analysts;

·our ability to protect our customers’ financial data and other personal information;

·the loss of one or more of our significant suppliers;

·unexpected trends in the health and wellness and travel industries and potential technology and service obsolescence;

·market acceptance, quality, pricing, availability and useful life of our products and/or services, as well as the mix of our products and services sold; and

·lawsuits, claims, and investigations that may be filed against us and other events that may adversely affect our reputation.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our common stock.

The continued listing standards of Nasdaq provide, among other things, that a company may be delisted if the bid price of its stock drops below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days or if stockholders’ equity is less than $2.5 million. On March 16, 2018, we received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our securities had closed below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum required closing bid price for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In order to regain compliance, on February 22, 2019, we filed a certificate of amendment to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a one-for-twenty reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock. On March 11, 2019, we received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing us that we had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).


While we have exercised diligent efforts to maintain the listing of our common stock with an exercise price of $1.76 per share, each subject to equitable adjustment in the event of a reverse stock split. In addition, the aggregate number of shares of our common stock and the aggregate number of warrants (and the aggregate number of shares of our common stock that mayon Nasdaq, there can be purchased upon exercise thereof) to be issued in exchange for the issued and outstanding warrant of Innovate/Protect shall each be ratably adjusted to give effect to any partial exercise of such warrant prior to the effective time of the Merger. Upon the consummation of the Merger, if consummated, the number of outstanding shares of common stock (calculated on a fully diluted basis) held by our security holders will significantly increase.

If we are unable to adequately protect our intellectual property, we may not be able to compete effectively.

Our ability to compete depends in part upon the strength of our proprietary rights in our technologies, brands and content. We rely on a combination of U.S. and foreign patents, copyrights, trademark, trade secret laws and license agreements to establish and protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights. The efforts we have taken to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective at stopping unauthorized use of our intellectual property and proprietary rights. In addition, effective trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available or cost-effective in every country in which our services are made available. There may be instances where we are not able to fully protect or utilize our intellectual property in a manner that maximizes competitive advantage. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights from unauthorized use, the value of our products may be reduced, which could negatively impact our business. Our inability to obtain appropriate protections for our intellectual property may also allow competitors to enter our markets and produce or sell the same or similar products. In addition, protecting our intellectual property and other proprietary rights is expensive and diverts critical managerial resources. If any of the foregoing were to occur, or if we are otherwise unable to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights, our business and financial results could be adversely affected.

If we are forced to resort to legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive. In addition, our proprietary rights could be at risk if we are unsuccessful in, or cannot afford to pursue, those proceedings. We also rely on trade secrets and contract law to protect some of our proprietary technology. We have entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with our employees and consultants. Nevertheless, these agreements may not be honored and they may not effectively protect our right to our un-patented trade secrets and know-how. Moreover, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and know-how.

The possibility of extensive delays in the patent issuance process could effectively reduce the term during which a marketed product is protected by patents.

We may need to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. We may not be able to obtain the licenses required under any patents or proprietary rights or they may not be available on acceptable terms. If we do not obtain required licenses, we may encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring licenses could be foreclosed. We may, from time to time, support and collaborate in research conducted by universities and governmental research organizations. We may not be able to acquire exclusive rights to the inventions or technical information derived from these collaborations, and disputes may arise over rights in derivative or related research programs conducted by us or our collaborators.

If we or our users infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, we may have to defend against litigation and pay damages and our business and prospects may be adversely affected.

If a third party were to assert that our products infringe on its patent, copyright, trademark, right of publicity, right of privacy, trade secret or other intellectual property rights, we could incur substantial litigation costs and be forced to pay substantial damages. Third-party infringement claims, regardless of their outcome, would not only consume significant financial resources, but would also divert our management’s time and attention. Such claims or the lack of available access to certain sites or content could also cause our customers or potential customers to purchase competitors’ products if such competitors have access to the sites or contents that we are lacking or defer or limit their purchase or use of our affected products or services until resolution of the claim. In connection with any such claim or litigation, our mobile carriers and other partners may decide to re-assess their relationships with us, especially if they perceive that they may have potential liability or if such claimed infringement is a possible breach of our agreement with such mobile carrier. If any of our products are found to violate third-party intellectual property rights, we may have to re-engineer one or more of our products, or we may have to obtain licenses from third parties to continue offering our products without substantial re-engineering. Our efforts to re-engineer or obtain licenses could require significant expenditures of time and money and may not be successful. Accordingly, any claims or litigation regarding our infringement of intellectual property of a third party by us or our users could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects.

Third party infringement claims could also significantly limit our Vringo Studio product and the content available in our content library. Our Vringo Studio tool allows users to access video from multiple sites on the web or from their computer and then edit and send these video clips to their mobile phones as customized video ringtones. These websites could choose to block us from accessing their content for violating their terms of service by allowing users to download clips or for any other reason, which could significantly limit the availability of content in the Vringo Studio. Additionally, while we employ special software that seeks to determine whether a clip is copyrighted or otherwise restricted, it is not feasible for us to determine whether users of Vringo Studio own or acquire appropriate intellectual property permissions to use each clip before it is downloaded. Therefore, we require users of the Vringo Studio to certify that they have the rights to use the content which they desire to send to their phone. Additionally, while the majority of the clips in our content library are either licensed by us directly or are public domain or creative commons, our content library contains certain clips which we have not licensed from the content owner. As a result, we may receive cease-and-desist letters, or other threats of litigation, from website hosts and content owners asserting that we are infringing on their intellectual property or violating the terms and conditions of their websites. In such a case, we will remove or attempt to obtain licenses for such content or obtain additional content from other websites. However, there is no assurance that we will be able to enter into license agreements with content owners. Consequently, we may be forcedcontinue to remove a portionmeet the continuing listing requirements of our content from our library and significantly limit the availability of content in the Vringo Studio. This would negatively impact our user experience and may cause users to cancel our service and make our service less attractive to our partners.

The Nasdaq Capital Market. If we are unable to enter into or maintain distribution arrangements with major mobile carriers and/or other partners and develop and maintainmeet the continuing listing requirements, Nasdaq may take steps to delist our existing strategic relationships with mobile carriers, we will be unable to distribute our products effectively or generate significant revenue.

Our strategy for distributing our applications and services is dependent upon establishing distribution arrangements with major mobile carriers and other partners. We currentlycommon stock. Such a delisting would likely have distribution arrangements with Etisalat (Emirates Telecom), Orange (Everything Everywhere), Vodafone, Verizon, Maxis, Celcom (Axiata Berhard), Hungama Mobile and Du. We need to develop and maintain strategic relationships with these entities in order for them to market our service to their end users. While we have entered into agreements witha negative effect on the aforementioned mobile carriers pursuant to which our service may be made available to their end-users, such agreements are not exclusive and generally do not obligate the partner to market or distribute our service. In addition, a numberprice of our distribution agreements allow the mobile carriercommon stock and would impair your ability to terminate its rights under the agreement at any time and for any reason upon 30 days’ notice. We are dependent upon the subsequent success of these partners in performing their responsibilities and sufficiently marketingsell or purchase our service. We cannot providecommon stock when you any assurance thatwish to do so. Further, if we willwere to be abledelisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock would cease to negotiate, execute and maintain favorable agreements and relationships with any additional partners, that the partners with whom we have a contractual relationship will choose to promote our service or that such partners will be successful and/or will not pursue alternative technologies.

If we are unsuccessful in entering into and maintaining content license agreements, our revenues will be negatively affected.

The success of our service is dependent upon our providing end-users with content they desire. An important aspect of this strategy is establishing licensing relationships with third party content providers that have desirable content. Content license agreements generally have a fixed term, may or may not include provisions for exclusivity and may require us to make significant minimum payments. We have entered into approximately 35 content license agreements with various content providers. While our business is not dependent on any particular content license agreement, there is no assurance that we will enter into a sufficient number of content license agreements or that the ones that we enter into will be profitable and will not be terminated early.

We may not be able to generate revenues from certain of our prepaid mobile customers.

We currently operate in markets that have a high percentage of prepaid mobile customers. Many of these users may not have a sufficient balance in their prepaid account when their free trial endsrecognized as covered securities and we bill them to cover the charges for subscribing to our service. As a result, the subscriber numbers that we periodically disclose may not generate revenues at the expected level.

We are dependent on mobile carriers and other partners to make timely payments to us.

We will receive our revenue from mobile carriers and other distribution partners who may delay payment to us, dispute amounts owed to us, or in some cases refuse to pay us at all. Many of these partners are in markets where we may have limited legal recourse to collect payments from these partners. Our failure to collect payments owed to us from our partners will have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

We may not be able to continue to maintain our application on all of the operating systems which we currently support.

Some of our applications are compatible with various mobile operating systems including the Android, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, Symbian, Apple’s iOS Java and Windows Mobile operating systems. While Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Android do not support video ringtones natively, our development team has enabled our application to work on many devices which utilize these operating systems. The user base for the video ringtone service is spread out amongst a number of smartphone and feature phone operating systems, with applications on each aforementioned operating system representing less than 5% of the total subscribers to our video ringtone platform. Our Facetones™ platform, which represents less than 5% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, is heavily reliant upon our Android devices users. Currently, over 96% of our Facetones™users utilize the Android operating system. In addition, our commercial agreement with ZTE is solely reliant on our ability to maintain its support for the Android operating system. Since these operating systems do not support our applications natively, any significant changes to these operating systems by their respective developers may prevent our application from working properly or at all on these systems. If we are unable to maintain our application on these operating systems or on any other operating systems, users of these operating systems will not be able to use our application, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We operate in the digital content market where piracy of content is widespread.

Our business strategy is partially based upon users paying us for access to our content. If users believe they can obtain the same or similar content for free via other means including piracy, they may be unwilling to pay for our service. Additionally, since our own clips do not have any copy protection, they can theoretically be distributed by a paying user to a non-paying user without any additional payment to us. If users or potential users obtain our content or similar content without payment to us, our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Major network failures could have an adverse effect on our business.

Major equipment failures, natural disasters, including severe weather, terrorist acts, acts of war, cyber-attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security that affect third-party networks, transport facilities, communications switches, routers, microwave links, cell sites or other third-party equipment on which we rely, could cause major network failures and/or unusually high network traffic demands that could have a material adverse effect on our operations or our ability to provide service to our customers. These events could disrupt our operations, require significant resources to resolve, result in a loss of customers or impair our ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our data is hosted at a remote location. Although we have full alternative site data backed up, we do not have data hosting redundancy. Accordingly, we may experience significant service interruptions, which could require significant resources to resolve, result in a loss of customers or impair our ability to attract new customers, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, with the growth of wireless data services, enterprise data interfaces and Internet-based or Internet Protocol-enabled applications, wireless networks and devices are exposed to a greater degree to third-party data or applications over which we have less direct control. As a result, the network infrastructure and information systems on which we rely, as well as our customers’ wireless devices, maywould be subject to a wider array of potential security risks, including viruses and other types of computer-based attacks,regulation in each state in which could cause lapses inwe offer our service or adversely affect the ability of our customers to access our service. Such lapses could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.securities.

 

Our business depends upon our ability to keep pace with the latest technological changes, and our failure to do so could make us less competitive in our industry.

The market for our products and services is characterized by rapid change and technological change, frequent new product innovations, changes in customer requirements and expectations and evolving industry standards. Products using new technologies or emerging industry standards could make our products and services less attractive. Furthermore, our competitors may have access to technology not available to us, which may enable them to produce products of greater interest to consumers or at a more competitive cost. Failure to respond in a timely and cost-effective way to these technological developments may result in serious harm to our business and operating results. As a result, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop and market product and service offerings that respond in a timely manner to the technological advances available to our customers, evolving industry standards and changing preferences.

Our Facetones™ application depends upon our continued access to Facebook® photos.

Our Facetones™ application creates automated video slideshow using friends' photosDelisting from social media web sites, primarily from Facebook®, the world's leading social media site. Facetones™ represented less than 5% of our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2012, however, we believe that the rapid growth of its user base is critical to the value of its mobile application business. In the event Facebook® prohibits or restricts the ability of our application to access photos on its site, our business, financial condition, operating results and projected growth could be harmed. In February 2012, we entered into an agreement with Facebook®, which clarifies our permitted use of the Facetones™ mark and domain name.

If our Facetones™ trademark is challenged by another party, our revenue from this application may be adversely affected.

On February 9, 2012, Vringo entered into an agreement with Facebook, Inc. an online social network, relating to the use of our Facetones™ mark and domain name (collectively, the "Facetones Mark").  The Agreement resolved a potential dispute between the parties regarding the Facetones Mark.  Nonetheless, Facebook reserves the right to challenge the Facetones Mark in the future if Vringo violates certain limitations on its use of the Facetones Mark and/or certain conditions are not met.  If Facebook or any other party successfully challenges our Facetones Mark, we will need to re-brand our application, which may have a negative impact on our revenue from this application.

Regulation concerning consumer privacy may adversely affect our business.

Certain technologies that we currently support, or may in the future support, are capable of collecting personally-identifiable information. We anticipate that as mobile telephone software continues to develop, it will be possible to collect or monitor substantially more of this type of information. A growing body of laws designed to protect the privacy of personally-identifiable information, as well as to protect against its misuse, and the judicial interpretations of such laws, may adversely affect the growth of our business. In the United States, these laws could include the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act, as well as various state laws and related regulations. In addition, certain governmental agencies, like the Federal Trade Commission, have the authority to protect against the misuse of consumer information by targeting companies that collect, disseminate or maintain personal information in an unfair or deceptive manner. In particular, such laws could limit our ability to collect information related to users or our services, to store or process that information in what would otherwise be the most efficient manner, or to commercialize new products based on new technologies. The evolving nature of all of these laws and regulations, as well as the evolving nature of various governmental bodies’ enforcement efforts, and the possibility of new laws in this area, may adversely affect our ability to collect and disseminate or share certain information about consumers and may negatively affect our ability to make use of that information. If we fail to successfully comply with applicable regulations in this area, our business and prospects could be harmed.

Our ability to raise capital through equity or equity-linked transactions may be limited.

In order for us to raise capital through equity or equity-linked transactions, stockholder approval is required to enable us to issue more than 19.99% of our outstanding shares of common stock pursuant to the rules and regulations of the NYSE Amex. Should stockholders not approve such issuances, our sole means to raise capital would be through debt, which could have a material adverse effect on our balance sheet and overall financial condition.

If the NYSE Amex delists our securities from trading, we could face significant consequences, including:

a limited availability for market quotations for our securities;

reduced liquidity with respect to our securities;

a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock;

limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

In addition, we would no longer be subject to the NYSE Amex rules, including rules requiring us to have a certain number of independent directors and to meet other corporate governance standards.

If there are significant shifts in the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business relationships and profitability.

Our research and development facility and finance department are located in Israel and many of our key personnel reside in Israel. Our business is directly affected by the political, economic and military conditions in Israel and its neighbors. Major hostilities involving Israel or the interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its present trading partners could have a material adverse effect on our existing business relationships and on our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, several countries restrict business with Israeli companies, which may impair our ability to create new business relationships or to be, or become, profitable.

We may not be able to enforce covenants not-to-compete under current Israeli law, which may result in added competition.

We have non-competition agreements with all of our employees, almost all of which are governed by Israeli law. These agreements generally prohibit our employees from competing with or working for our competitors, during their term of employment and for up to 12 months after termination of their employment. However, Israeli courts are reluctant to enforce non-compete undertakings of former employees and may not enforce those provisions, or only enforce those provisions for relatively brief periods of time in restricted geographical areas and only when the employee has unique value specific to that employer’s business and not just regarding the professional development of the employee. If we are not able to enforce non-compete covenants, we may be faced with added competition.

Because a substantial portion of our revenues is generated in dollars and euros, while a significant portion of our expenses is incurred in Israeli currency, our revenue may be reduced due to inflation in Israel and currency exchange rate fluctuations.

A substantial portion of our revenues is generated in dollars and euros, while a significant portion of our expenses, principally salaries and related personnel expenses, is paid in Israeli currency. As a result, we are exposed to the risk that the rate of inflation in Israel will exceed the rate of devaluation of Israeli currency in relation to the dollar or the euro, or that the timing of this devaluation will lag behind inflation in Israel. Because inflation has the effect of increasing the dollar and euro costs of our operations, it would therefore have an adverse effect on our dollar-measured results of operations. The value of the New Israeli Shekel, or NIS, against the United States Dollar, the Euro and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Israel’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of the NIS may materially and adversely affect our cash flows, revenues and financial condition. Fluctuations in the NIS exchange rate, or even the appearance of instability in such exchange rate,Nasdaq could adversely affect our ability to operateraise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our business.securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

 

The termination or reductionOur common stock has traded in low volumes. We cannot predict whether an active trading market for our common stock will ever develop. Even if an active trading market develops, the market price of tax and other incentives that the Israeli government provides to domestic companies, such as our wholly-owned subsidiary,common stock may increase the costs involved in operating a company in Israel.be significantly volatile.

 

The Israeli government currently provides taxHistorically, our common stock has experienced a lack of trading liquidity. In the absence of an active trading market you may have difficulty buying and selling our common stock at all or at the price you consider reasonable; and market visibility for shares of our common stock may be limited, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for shares of our common stock and on our ability to raise capital investment incentives to domestic companies, as well as grant and loan programs relating to research and development and marketing and export activities. Our wholly-owned Israeli subsidiary currently takes advantageor make acquisitions by issuing our Common Stock.

If we raise additional capital in the future, stockholders’ ownership in us could be diluted.

Any issuance of some of these programs. We cannot provide you with any assurance that such benefits and programs will continue to be availableequity we may undertake in the future to raise additional capital could cause the price of our Israeli subsidiary. In addition,shares to decline or require us to issue shares at a price that is lower than that paid by holders of our shares in the past, which would result in previously issued shares being dilutive. If we obtain funds through a credit facility or through the issuance of debt or preferred securities, these securities would likely have rights senior to rights as a holder of common stock, which could impair the value of our shares.

19

If we exercise the option to repay the Series E Preferred Stock in common stock rather than cash, such repayment may result in the issuance of a large number of shares of common stock which may have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock as well as a dilutive effect.

Pursuant to the terms of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, on the seven-year anniversary of the initial issuance date of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, November 14, 2025 in the case of the 3,225,806 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued on November 14, 2018 or December 28, 2025 in the case of the 322,581 shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued on December 28, 2018, we may repay each share of Series E Preferred Stock, at our option, in cash, by delivery of shares of common stock or through any combination thereof. If we elect to make a payment, or any portion thereof, in shares of common stock, the Base Shares will be based on the Base Price plus the Premium Shares, calculated as follows: (i) if the Base Price is greater than $180.00, no Premium Shares shall be issued, (ii) if the Base Price is greater than $140.00 and equal to or less than $180.00, an additional number of shares equal to 5% of the Base Shares shall be issued, (iii) if the Base Price is greater than $120.00 and equal to or less than $140.00, an additional number of shares equal to 10% of the Base Shares shall be issued, (iv) if the Base Price is greater than $100.00 and equal to or less than $120.00, an additional number of shares equal to 20% of the Base Shares shall be issued and (v) if the Base Price is less than or equal to $100.00, an additional number of shares equal to 25% of the Base Shares shall be issued. Accordingly, if the volume weighted average price per share of our common stock is below $180.00 per share as of the time of repayment and we exercise the option to make such repayment in shares of our common stock, a large number of shares of our common stock may be issued to the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock upon maturity which may have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock.

On November 14, 2025 or December 28, 2025, as applicable, upon the maturity of the Series E Preferred Stock, when determining whether to repay the Series E Preferred Stock in cash or shares of common stock, we expect to consider a number of factors, including our cash position, the price of our common stock and our capital structure at such time. Because we do not have to make a determination as to which option to elect until 2023, it is possibleimpossible to predict whether it is more or less likely to repay in cash, stock or a portion of each.

Having availed ourselves of scaled disclosure available to smaller reporting companies, we cannot be certain if such reduced disclosure will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

Under Section 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, a "smaller reporting company" is a company that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and has a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. Similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies are permitted to provide simplified executive compensation disclosure in their filings; they are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting; and they have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosure in our subsidiary will failSEC filings as a result of our having availed ourselves of scaled disclosure may make it harder for investors to meet the criteria required for eligibilityanalyze our results of future benefits. If such benefits and programs were terminated or further reduced, it could have an adverse effect on our business, operating resultsoperations and financial condition.prospects.

They use words, such as “anticipate,” “could,” “continue,” “contemplate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “potential,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. These include statements, among others, relating to the sufficiency of our financial resources, our planned future actions, and expected outcomes, our products under development, our intellectual property position, our plans with respect to funding operations, projected expense levels, and the outcome of contingencies.

Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Actual results may vary materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

The amended and restated certificateSubsection (a) of incorporation of the Company provides that all directors, officers, employees and agents of the registrant shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”of Delaware (the “DGCL”). empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he 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 his conduct was unlawful.

 

Article EIGHTH of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides:

“The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisionsSubsection (b) of Section 145 of the DGCL asempowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the sameright of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification may be amended and supplemented from timemade with respect to time, indemnify any and all persons whom itclaim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have powerbeen adjudged to indemnify under said section frombe liable to the corporation unless and against any andonly to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses liabilitieswhich the Court of Chancery or such other matterscourt shall deem proper.

Section 145 of the DGCL further provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) or coveredin the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by said section as amendedhim in connection therewith; that indemnification or supplemented (or any successor), and the indemnificationadvancement of expenses provided for hereinby Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which thosethe indemnified party may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, voteentitled; and empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inureof the corporation against any liability asserted against him or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under Section 145.

Reference is also made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its certificate of incorporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for monetary damages for violations of a director’s fiduciary duty, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the benefitcorporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the heirs, executors and administratorsDGCL (providing for liability of such a person.”directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions) or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 


PursuantOur certificate of incorporation, as amended, provides that a director shall not be personally liable to the Company’s bylaws,Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of his or her duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (under Section 174 of the DGCL or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. Article V of our amended and restated by-laws provides that we shall indemnify our directors and officers, of the Company shall,or former directors and officers, against any and all expenses and liabilities, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, also have the right to receive from the Company an advancement of expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition. To the extent required under the DGCL, an advancement of expenses incurred by a director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such individual, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. The Company is not required to provide indemnification or advance expenses in connection with (i) any proceeding initiated by a director or officer of the Company unless such proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors or otherwise required by law; (ii) any proceeding providing for disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (iii) and for amounts for which payment is actually made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy or indemnity provisions or law; or (iv) any prohibition by applicable law.

Pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company may also maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which insures the Company and any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other entities, against expense, liability or loss asserted against such persons in such capacity whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person under the DGCL.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company’s directors, officers, and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in a successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to the court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by the Company is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or executive officers as to which indemnification is required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding that may result in a claim for indemnification.

 

We have an insurance policy coveringentered into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, will indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers for all expenses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees, witness fees, damages, judgments, fines and directors with respectsettlement amounts incurred by any such person in any action or proceeding, including any action by us arising out of such person’s services as our director or officer, or any other company or enterprise to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising underwhich the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or otherwise.person provides services at our request.
