Company Overview

Lexaria is a biotechnology company developing the enhancement of the bioavailability of a broad range of fat-soluble active molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) using our patented DehydraTECH^TM drug delivery technology. DehydraTECH combines molecules or APIs with specific long-chain fatty acids and carrier compounds that improve the way they enter the bloodstream, increasing their effectiveness and allowing for lower overall dosing while promoting healthier oral ingestion methods.

DehydraTECH can be used with a wide range of active molecules encompassing fat-soluble vitamins, pain medications, hormones, PDE5 inhibitors, antivirals, nicotine and its analogs, and cannabinoids.  In addition, we have recently commenced research and development of DehydraTECH in connection with GLP-1 drugs with results from our first human pilot study issued in January 2024. Our technology can be applied to a variety of therapeutic indications, including hypertension and heart disease, diabetes and weight loss. DehydraTECH can be implemented in a multitude of ingestible or topically administered product formats including foods, beverages, oral suspensions, tablets, capsules, creams, lotions, and skin patches. It is suitable for use with a variety of product formats including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, over-the-counter products, and consumer packaged goods.

DehydraTECH is a technology incorporated into the formulation and manufacturing process of new or existing orally ingestible and topical products. The procedure involves fusing the active ingredient as a delivery “payload” together with certain fatty acids and infusing the mixture into a substrate material. Using controlled dehydration processing, it combines the payload and fatty acids together at a molecular level. The newly combined molecules are then integrated into production of the end-product using any number of dosage formats. From foods and beverages to cosmetics and nutraceuticals, this technology extends across many product categories beyond the primary pharmaceutical focus of the Company. DehydraTECH formulations have been found in some cases to reduce the need for unwanted sweeteners or chemical masking agents used for flavor- and odor-blocking, allowing manufacturers to create low-sugar products with fewer calories and artificial sweeteners.

The Company has developed extensive experience from the formulation and production of its demonstration products, in various formats, that enables us to provide expert advice to our licensees with the integration of DehydraTECH in their products for the purpose of providing a more palatable and efficient delivery of bioactive molecules.

Lexaria supports our licensees’ products with our technology. A part of our business plan is to encourage new and existing participants to license and utilize DehydraTECH to enable enhanced performance of their products. These products cross a wide range of lipophilic bioactive molecules including nicotine, cannabidiol (“CBD”) and GLP-1 drugs with additional molecules of interest continually being evaluated. 

Patents

Our current patent portfolio includes patent family applications or grants pertaining to our method of improving bioavailability and palatability, and the use of DehydraTECH as a delivery platform for a wide variety of APIs including, but not limited to, fat soluble vitamins; anti-viral drugs; phosphodiesterase inhibitors; human hormones; regulated cannabinoids, and nicotine and its analogs.

We continue to pursue patent protection in many countries around the world as vigorously as we are able, since the successful granting of more of those applications could lead to material increases in shareholder value. The Company currently has a multitude of patent applications pending worldwide. 

The Company has patents issued in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe, India, Mexico, and Japan.

Research & Development

Lexaria is advancing several R&D activities in both preclinical and clinical programs. Currently, our primary research program for calendar 2024 is the investigation of DehydraTECH formulations of semaglutide, liraglutide, trizepatide and certain combinations thereof with cannabidiol (CBD) based on the successful results of our first human pilot study which showed higher blood semaglutide levels, lower blood glucose levels and apparent improvements in gastrointestinal tolerability for our DehydraTECH processed Rybelsus® (which contains semaglutide) over Rybelsus on its own.

With funding received from our February 16, 2024 registered direct financing, we intend to expand on this research with a second acute human pilot study to determine the efficacy of an oral dissolvable DehydraTECH-semaglutide tablet formulation; and with a chronic dosing (12-week) animal study whereby various DehydraTECH formulations of semaglutide, liraglutide and DehydraTECH-CBD will be evaluated.

Also related to GLP-1 investigations during calendar 2024, we expect to initiate a third acute human pilot study, and are planning for a multiple-week chronic human study investigating weight loss potential and blood sugar control using DehydraTECH-processed GLP-1 drugs and, potentially, DehydraTECH-CBD. All these studies are investigator initiated, non-registrational studies.

We are also continuing to pursue our research of CBD for the reduction of hypertension pursuant to the receipt of a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA following their review of our Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application. Other programs of interest, but with no active investigations underway at this time, include DehydraTECH research with nicotine for oral pouches and prospective nicotine replacement therapy, antiviral drugs, hormones and other compounds. From time to time the Company will engage in contract R&D for third parties who are interested in evaluating DehydraTECH in their products.

Due to our expanding portfolio coverage, we continually examine accelerated timetable options for testing, research, and development of each API. We continue to devote an increasing proportion of our resources and focus towards pharmaceutical applications.

Investigational GLP-1 Research

The first results from our investigational human pilot study (the “GLP-1 Study”) of DehydraTECH enhanced GLP-1 drug semaglutide sold as Rybelsus® were announced on November 27, 2023.  The GLP-1 Study utilized a single semaglutide dose of 7 mg of the Rybelsus Control and compared it to the matching dose of the DehydraTECH GLP-1, swallowed by each subject after an overnight fasting period together with a 50 mL glass of water. The DehydraTECH GLP-1 formulation used was a compound formulated strictly for research purposes. Seven healthy subjects were dosed across two dosing visits following the “cross-over” design of the GLP-1 Study.  The results of the GLP-1 Study as announced in Lexaria’s news releases of November 27 and 28, 2023 and January 4, 2024 revealed that at each of the 19 blood sample time points, the DehydraTECH GLP-1 blood semaglutide levels were higher than the Control levels with peak levels of semaglutide in blood being 43% higher in the DehydraTECH GLP-1 than in the Rybelsus® Control, that the subjects had better tolerability using the DehydraTECH GLP-1 with instances of moderate nausea and moderate diarrhea experienced only by subjects using the Control, and only the Control group evidenced inconsistent blood glucose reduction that did not prevent blood glucose spikes after eating. Conversely, DehydraTECH GLP-1 reduced blood glucose to lower levels and was much more effective at maintaining consistently reduced blood glucose levels even after eating a standardized meal at the 240-minute mark and a standardized snack at the 360-minute mark.

Investigational New Drug Application 

The FDA provided Lexaria with a positive written response on August 10, 2022, from our pre-IND meeting regarding DehydraTECH-CBD for the treatment of hypertension. The FDA confirmed that it agreed with Lexaria’s proposal to pursue a 505(b)(2) new drug application (“NDA”) regulatory pathway for our program. Following this, we worked diligently toward our Phase 1(b) IND study filing for clinical trial HYPER-H23-1, pursuant to which we: (i) selected InClin, Inc. as our contract research organization (“CRO”) to perform the study; (ii) completed the initial manufacturing work associated with the study; and (iii) in collaboration with our CRO, commenced certain administrative tasks associated with the study.  On January 29, 2024 Lexaria submitted its IND application with the FDA.  Lexaria received requests for additional information to which it provided satisfactory responses resulting in the receipt on February 29, 2024 of a Study May Proceed letter from the FDA.  Lexaria may now proceed with conducting its phase 1b hypertension clinical trial HYPER-H23-1 entitled ‘A Phase 1b Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DehydraTECH-CBD in Subjects with Stage 1 or Stage 2 Hypertension, subject to raising sufficient funding, and satisfying certain other FDA-requested conditions.

HYPER-H21-4

The first results of our hypertension study HYPER-H21-4 were announced on October 27, 2022, with the primary safety and efficacy objectives being met. The study showed, among other things, a sustained drop in blood pressure in normally active hypertensive patients following multiple weeks of oral cannabidiol (“CBD”) therapy, using Lexaria’s patented DehydraTECH-CBD capsule formulation.

On December 21, 2022, further results were released from this multi-week human clinical hypertension study, indicating superior CBD blood absorption levels from our patented DehydraTECH-CBD™ relative to those of published, pharmaceutical-grade CBD industry.

On February 21, 2023, the Company announced additional findings demonstrating a potentially novel mechanism of action in reducing blood pressure. These latest results from study HYPER-H21-4 imply that the antihypertensive effects of DehydraTECH-CBD may be explained, at least in part, by its interaction with the sympatho-chromaffin system via catestatin modulation. This suggests a potentially unique mechanistic benefit upon cardiovascular regulation with DehydraTECH-CBD treatment that has not previously been demonstrated, to our knowledge, with testing of CBD for blood pressure reduction.

In May 2023, final results from HYPER-H21-4 revealed that blood-plasma levels of interleukin 8, 10, and 18, being pro-inflammatory biomarkers known to be linked to cardiovascular disease, were reduced significantly by ~19%, ~27%, and ~43%, respectively.

Overall, HYPER-H21-4 resulted in data sets which further strengthens and supports the case for DehydraTECH-CBD offering distinctive mechanistic benefits for the treatment of hypertension.

EPIL-A21-1

In March 2022, Lexaria initiated an animal study to determine if DehydraTECH-CBD evidences superior treatment of seizure activity when compared to Epidiolex. Epidiolex is an FDA-approved oral solution prescription CBD available to children 1 year of age and older to treat seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, Dravet syndrome or tuberous sclerosis complex.

On November 29, 2022, Lexaria announced findings from the study indicating its patented DehydraTECH-CBD has demonstrated performance enhancements compared to one of the world’s leading anti-seizure medications, Epidiolex®, generally at a lower DehydraTECH-CBD dose.

Additional work has been completed in this animal study program EPIL-A21-1 to establish an ED50 (i.e., the dose required to achieve seizure inhibition in 50% of the animals tested) for DehydraTECH-CBD, where ED50 determination is a common performance metric in preclinical animal studies for developmental therapeutics. This study confirmed that the DehydraTECH 75 mg/Kg dose was established as the calculated ED50.

DEM-A22-1

On November 8, 2022, commencement of animal study program DEM-A22-1 was announced. The inconclusive results from the efficacy animal study, DEM-A22-1 were reported on in June 2023, with the determination that any future investigations using DehydraTECH-CBD as a treatment for dementia will require an improved study design with a longer duration with the potential addition of DehydraTECH-nicotine which may have additive efficacy potential.  

4

DIAB-A22-1

DIAB-A22-1, was a 56-day animal program undertaken by a third-party testing laboratory located in Canada to explore the ability of DehydraTECH-CBD to potentially treat diabetes, a disease whereby the body does not produce sufficient insulin, leading to higher-than-normal levels of sugars in the blood. The results from this study were announced in March and June 2023 and evidenced the following achievements of DehydraTECH-CBD in obese diabetic-conditioned animals:

· Lowered blood glucose levels by 19.9% (p<0.05)

· Lowered overall body weight by 7% sustained over 8 weeks

· Witnessed a statistically significant increase in locomotor activity (p<0.05)

· Lowered triglyceride levels by more than 25% (p<0.007)

· Lowered blood urea nitrogen levels by 27.9% (p<0.001)

Based on these results, Lexaria has determined it is planning to undertake a human diabetes clinical study to investigate whether any of these improvements will be evidenced in humans.  Subject to raising sufficient funding and completion of a study design that receives the necessary IRB approval, Lexaria intends to commence this clinical study in Q3 of calendar 2024.  

NIC-H22-1

In November of 2022 we received independent review board approval for human clinical nicotine study NIC-H22-1, a 36-person human PK randomized, double blinded, cross-over study conducted in current cigarette smokers, wherein each person visited the laboratory to be dosed three times over a period of weeks. During each visit only one oral nicotine pouch was administered and evaluated: either DehydraTECH-nicotine; on!™ brand manufactured by Altria; or Zyn™ brand manufactured by Swedish Match™. Predetermined questionnaires for subjective evaluation were used for each oral nicotine pouch, and blood samples were taken 8 times per visit to conduct objective evaluations related to the quantity of nicotine in blood at various time points.  Subjective evaluations related to throat burn, user experience, gastrointestinal experience were also conducted.  Dosing for this study completed in May 2023 and the resulting data confirmed that Lexaria’s oral nicotine pouch was statistically significantly faster in the median time required to reach comparable maximum nicotine concentrations within the bloodstream, than both on! (15% faster) and ZYN (over 20% faster). 

Participants in the study also answered a number of subjective questions about their experience with the three oral pouch products and the results indicated that the Lexaria oral pouches resulted in no moderate to severe graded hiccups, lowest frequency of severe nausea and several instances of the highest positive endorsement ratings with respect to tolerability, pleasure, euphoria & head rush and mouth & throat burn.

Lexaria now seeks to commercialize DehydraTECH-Nicotine with suitable industry partners based on its clinical and intellectual property advancements.

HOR-A22-1

In May 2023, Lexaria completed and reported on its HOR-A22-1 tolerability and PK pilot study in animals using a DehydraTECH-estradiol composition.  Results evidenced that the DehydraTECH-estradiol formulation achieved an average peak concentration in the bloodstream that was roughly nine times (900%) higher than that achieved with the control formulation.  As well, because estradiol is known to be quickly converted into the metabolite estrone by cells in the uterus, mammary glands and liver, estrone levels were also quantified in the study, which revealed that levels of the estrone metabolite were also significantly higher with the DehydraTECH formulation showing greater than a twenty-fold (2,000%) improvement in delivery as compared to the control formulation.  Lexaria also discovered that the area under the curve findings for its DehydraTECH-estradiol formulation were at least fifteen times (1,500%) greater for estradiol and over one hundred and twenty-five times (12,500%) greater for estrone than the control.

The results from this study may lead Lexaria to investigate the potential use of DehydraTECH for human hormone therapies.

As part of the compensation to the Placement Agent in connection with the February 2024 Offering, pursuant to the Engagement Letter, we issued to designees of the Placement Agent unregistered Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 54,546 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.8875. These Warrants are exercisable immediately and will expire five years from the commencement of the sales pursuant to the February 2024 Offering.

The resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants issued to the Placement Agent is being registered in this registration statement.

Relationship with the Selling Stockholders

The Placement Agent has been engaged in investment banking, advisory and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us for which it has received customary compensation. The Placement Agent acted as the placement agent in connection with two offerings of our securities since January 2021, and it received compensation for each such offering.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

The following summary of the rights of our capital stock is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, copies of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 20, 2023, and the forms of securities, copies of which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, which are incorporated by reference herein.

Authorized Capital Stock

Our authorized capital stock consists of 220,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  As of March 12, 2024, there were 12,671,042 shares of common stock outstanding.

Common Stock

We are authorized to issue up to a total of 220,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Holders of our common stock have no cumulative voting rights. Further, holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share in all assets remaining after payment of all liabilities. Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our Board out of our assets which are legally available. Such dividends, if any, are payable in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock.

The holders of shares of our common stock equal to 33.33% of all of our outstanding capital stock, present in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any shareholder meeting. If a quorum is present, an action by stockholders entitled to vote on a matter is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action. The vote of a majority of our stock held by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the meeting will be sufficient to elect directors or to approve a proposal. The additional shares of our authorized capital stock available for issuance may be issued at times and under circumstances so as to have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and on the equity ownership of the holders of our common stock. The ability of our board of directors to issue additional shares of stock could enhance the board’s ability to negotiate on behalf of the stockholders in a takeover situation but could also be used by the board to make a change of control more difficult, thereby denying stockholders the potential to sell their shares at a premium and entrenching current management. The following description is a summary of the material provisions of our capital stock. You should refer to our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws, each as amended to date, both of which are on file with the SEC as exhibits to previous SEC filings, for additional information. The summary below is qualified by provisions of applicable law.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, including their pledgees, donees, transferees, distributees, beneficiaries or other successors in interest may, from time to time, offer some or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants if the Warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use those proceeds, if any, for working capital purposes. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus.

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, in the over-the-counter market or in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market and in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at privately negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:

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

· block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;  

· an over-the-counter distribution;

· an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

· privately negotiated transactions;

· short sales effected after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

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

· broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

· a combination of any such methods of sale; or

· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act, amending the list of the selling stockholders to include the selling stockholders’ pledgees, transferees, or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

12

In connection with the sale of shares of our common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect certain transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal. Such commissions will be in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with applicable FINRA rules; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with applicable FINRA rules.

The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. The selling stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conforms to the requirements of that rule.

The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

To the extent required pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the purchase price and public offering price, the names of any agent, dealer or underwriter, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states, the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in a sale of the common stock registered under this prospectus will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

In the event of a criminal action, the applicable director or officer must not have had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Pursuant to our Articles, we may indemnify each of our present and future directors, officers, employees or agents who becomes a party or is threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether pending, completed or merely threatened, and whether said suit or proceeding is civil, criminal, administrative, investigative, or otherwise, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, 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, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit, proceeding or settlement, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

The expenses of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, if and only if the director, officer, employee or agent undertakes to repay said expenses to the Company if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, that he/she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

No indemnification shall be applied, and any advancement of expenses to or on behalf of any director, officer, employee or agent must be returned to the Company, if a final adjudication establishes that the person’s acts or omissions involved a breach of any fiduciary duties, where applicable, intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law which was material to the cause of action.

The NRS further provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him/her against such liability and expenses. We have secured a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. We expect that we will continue to maintain such a policy.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

The list of exhibits following the signature page of this registration statement is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 17. Undertakings 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

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

Provided, however, that:

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

II-2

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

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

(4) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from a form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

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

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

(6) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been informed 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 by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the 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 registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
