PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
We are aU.S.-based developer and commercial supplier of a diversified portfolio of advanced drug delivery systems. We collaborate with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking to optimize drug lifecycles and generate differentiation for their brand in competitive therapeutic markets through the use of innovative devices that can improve patient care, protect healthcare workers and prevent disease. We have developed a broad portfolio of drug delivery systems in direct response to unmet market needs for macromolecule injectable drugs including biologics.
Our Unifill® syringe, the world’s first and only known, commercially available,ready-to-fill syringe with automatic, user-controlled safety features integrated within the glass barrel, sits at the leading edge of a proprietary platform of primary drug containers. The Unifill syringe is designed to be supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in a form that is ready for filling with an injectable drug or vaccine of up to 1mL in dose volume. As a primary drug container, the Unifill syringe has USP Class Six compatible materials within the drug fluid path. Following our supply of the Unifill syringe to the pharmaceutical company, they are primarily responsible for the filling, packaging, shipment, regulatory approval, clinical use and marketing of the drug-device combination product. The Unifill syringe is suitable for use by healthcare workers and by patients that self-administer prescription medication outside of healthcare facilities.
We have a strategic relationship with Sanofi, a large global pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it has paid to us 10.0 million euros under an exclusive licensing agreement plus an additional 17.0 million euros during the industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Together, these payments (equating to approximately $40 million in total based upon currency rates at the time of payments) provide Sanofi with the exclusive right to negotiate for the purchase of the Unifill syringe within the main therapeutic classes of anti-thrombotic agents, vaccines and four smaller confidentialsub-classes until June 30, 2014.
We commenced initial production and supply of the Unifill syringe to Sanofi and one other U.S. based pharmaceutical company in July 2011. We are also in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies regarding the supply of, and access to, the Unifill syringe, within therapeutic drug classes outside of those retained by Sanofi. We expect that current and future customers will seek to utilize initial units of the Unifill syringe for required compatibility and stability studies with target injectable drugs and vaccines.
Our Unifill portfolio ofready-to-fill syringes with integrated safety features is now being expanded to support the delivery of other prefilled injectable drugs and vaccines. Our Unifill Select syringes are designed for the use of interchangeable needles of up to 11/2” in length. They can be prefilled either with liquid stable drugs for therapeutic classes such as vaccines where intramuscular injections are commonly required, or with a diluent for use with lyophilized drugs supplied in a vial for reconstitution at the point of delivery. We have also developed and filed provisional patent applications for the Unifill EZMix range of syringes with multiple chambers that contain the lyophilized drug and the diluent for reconstitution within the single delivery system.
Additional technology platforms that we have developed in response to the unmet device needs of pharmaceutical companies include patient self-administration systems including auto-injectors and wearable subcutaneous pump infusion systems for viscous, large-volume drugs, and other specialized devices for targeted organ delivery. We also supply our Unitract 1mL range of syringes to medical distributors for use within healthcare facilities and by patients that self-administer prescription medication.
These technology platforms may also facilitate the customization of each device to address the specific pharmaceutical, molecular and patient requirements of a target drug supplied in either a liquid stable form or lyophilized for reconstitution. As our devices can form an integral part of the drug-device combination product that is submitted to regulatory agencies for approval, our collaboration with pharmaceutical companies can begin during the early clinical development of a pipeline drug and potentially span its entire commercial lifecycle.
Our goal is to enter into commercial supply contracts with pharmaceutical companies, as well as to enter into development agreements under which a pharmaceutical company may fund the development or customization of a Unilife device for use with its drugs entering into scheduled clinical trials. Programs to develop products suitable for use in scheduled clinical trials are now ongoing with one pharmaceutical company.
S-1
We design and manufacture our devices out of astate-of-the-art global headquarters and production facility located in York, Pennsylvania. We opened the 165,000 square foot facility in December 2010 following a $32 million one-year construction program. The facility includes a 100,000 square foot production center that contains eleven cleanrooms, a product development center, quality labs, machine shops and a fully segregated warehouse. Activities undertaken at the site include device design, rapid prototyping, pilot and commercial production, bio-analytical testing, packaging, quality assurance and supply chain. Our Quality Management System is fully certified to ISO 13485 and operates in compliance with 21 CRF 210/211 for pharmaceuticals and 21 CFR 820 for medical devices.
Unilife Corporation was incorporated in Delaware on July 2, 2009 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Unilife Medical Solutions Limited, an Australian corporation (“UMSL”). On January 27, 2010, Unilife Corporation became the parent company of UMSL upon completion of the redomiciliation and UMSL’s shareholders and option holders exchanged their interests in UMSL for equivalent interests in Unilife Corporation. Our principal executive offices are located at 250 Cross Farm Lane, York, Pennsylvania 17406. Our telephone number is +1 717 384 3400.
UMSL was incorporated on June 28, 1985. UMSL acquired all of the issued shares of Unitract Pty Limited in November 2002, and changed its name to Unitract Limited (now Unilife Medical Solutions Limited), listed on the Australian Securities Exchange under the ticker “UNI” and continued Unitract’s business operations. In January 2007, UMSL acquired all the stock of Integrated BioSciences, Inc., a Pennsylvania-based company, which in February 2009 changed its corporate name to Unilife Medical Solutions, Inc.

Forward-looking statements represent our management’s judgment regarding future events. In many cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “intend,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other words of similar import, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of forward-looking statements, and you should be aware that results and events could differ materially and adversely from those described in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
You should also consider carefully the statements set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 and our Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as may be updated by any other document that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, which address various factors that could cause results or events to differ from those described in the forward-looking statements.

S-4
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described below and in our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 and our Quarterly Report onForm 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, as updated by any other document that we subsequently file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face, but those that we currently consider to be material. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. Please also read carefully the section above entitled “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock
We Currently do not Generate Substantial Product Revenue and May Need Additional Funding to Meet Our Future Capital Needs. Such Funding May not be Available on Favorable Terms, if at all, and May be Dilutive to Our Existing Stockholders.
To date, we have generated no substantial product revenue. Therefore, we have to fund all of our operations and development expenditures from cash on hand and equity or debt financings. We may need to raise additional funding for our product development programs and commercialization efforts. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to raise additional funding, if needed, on terms favorable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our shares of common stock may suffer dilution. If we raise additional funds from debt financing, we may be obligated to abide by restrictive covenants contained in the debt financing agreements, which may make it more difficult for us to operate our business. If we are unable to secure additional funding, our ability to continue our product development and commercialization programs would be delayed, reduced or eliminated.
The Trading Price of Our Shares of Common Stock May Fluctuate Significantly.
The price of our shares of common stock may be volatile, which means that it could decline substantially within a short period of time. The trading price of the shares may fluctuate, and investors may experience a decrease in the value of the shares that they hold, sometimes regardless of our operating performance or prospects. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for many reasons, including the following:
| | |
| l | future announcements concerning our business and that of our competitors including in particular, the progress of our commercial sales for the Unifill syringe and the development programs for the other advanced drug delivery devices; |
|
| l | regulatory developments, enforcement actions bearing on advertising, marketing or sales of our current or pipeline products; |
|
| • | quarterly variations in operating results; |
| l | introduction of new products or changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors; |
|
| l | acquisition or loss of significant customers, distributors or suppliers; |
|
| l | business acquisitions or divestitures; |
|
| l | changes in third party reimbursement practices; |
|
| l | fluctuations of investor interest in the medical device sector; and |
|
| l | fluctuations in the economy, world political events or general market conditions. |
Management will have Broad Discretion as to the Use of the Proceeds from this Offering, and we May not Use the Proceeds Effectively.
Because we have not designated the amount of net proceeds from this offering to be used for any particular purpose, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of the offering. Our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not improve our financial condition or market value.
S-5
You will Experience Immediate and Substantial Dilution in the Book Value per Share of the Common Stock You Purchase.
Because the price per share of our common stock being offered will be higher than the tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering. In addition, we have a significant number of options and warrants outstanding. We have also agreed to issue 1,166,000 shares of restricted stock and options to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock to our chief executive officer, Mr. Alan D. Shortall, on January 3, 2012, subject to approval by our stockholders of the grant and of an amendment to our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under that plan. If the holders of our outstanding options and warrants exercise them, or if we issue those additional securities to Mr. Shortall, you may incur further dilution.
S-6
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $33,808,125, or approximately $38,922,094, if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. We currently expect to use the net proceeds from this offering to fund the continued development and commercial supply of our diversified portfolio of advanced drug delivery systems and the expansion of our workforce to support anticipated customer demands, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The amount and timing of actual expenditures for the purposes set forth above may vary based on several factors, and our management will retain broad discretion as to the ultimate allocation of the proceeds. Pending the application of the net proceeds from this offering, we expect to invest such proceeds in U.S. government securities and money market funds.
S-7
DILUTION
If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and our pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible book value, which is tangible assets less total liabilities, by the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.
Our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011 was approximately $33.3 million, or $0.52 per share. After giving effect to the sale by us of 8,250,000 shares of common stock offered by this prospectus supplement at a public offering price of $4.35 per share and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma net tangible book value as of September 30, 2011 would have been approximately $67.1 million, or $0.93 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.41 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $3.42 per share to new investors purchasing our common stock in this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution:
| | | | | | | | |
Public offering price per share | | | | | | $ | 4.35 | |
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2011 | | $ | 0.52 | | | | | |
Increase in net tangible book value per share after this offering | | $ | 0.41 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2011, after giving effect to this offering | | | | | | $ | 0.93 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering | | | | | | $ | 3.42 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The information above assumes that the underwriters do not exercise their over-allotment option. If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, our pro forma net tangible book value per share at September 30, 2011 after giving effect to this offering would have been $0.98 per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to investors in this offering would have been $3.37 per share. The above discussion and table are based on 64,274,703 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2011, which does not include the following:
| | |
| l | 13,031,943 shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2011 with a weighted-average exercise price of $6.67 per share; |
|
| l | 342,052 shares available for future issuance under our equity compensation plans as of September 30, 2011; and |
|
| l | 1,166,000 shares of performance-based restricted stock and 750,000 stock options to be granted to Mr. Alan D. Shortall on January 3, 2012, subject to approval by our stockholders of the grant and of an amendment to our 2009 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under that plan. The exercise price of Mr. Shortall’s stock options will be the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on January 3, 2012, and thus is not currently determinable. |
S-8

The Company may issue compensatory stock awards to its directors as contemplated by its proxy statement filed on October 14, 2011, so long as each such recipient of such award shall have executed for the benefit of the underwriter alock-up agreement.
In addition, one director is the beneficiary of the equivalent of 29,178 shares of Unilife common stock held in a superannuation fund. This director does not have the power to vote these shares, nor does this director have the power to direct or prevent the disposition of these shares by the fund. This director has agreed not to request or consent to any action by the trustee that the director could not take if he held the shares directly, but the trustee may nevertheless sell or otherwise transfer some or all of the 116,711 shares of our common stock owned by the fund.
This restriction terminates after the close of trading of the shares of common stock on and including the 90 days after the date of this prospectus. However, subject to certain exceptions, in the event that either:
| | |
| • | during the last 17 days of the90-day restricted period, we issue an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to us occurs, or |
| • | prior to the expiration of the90-day restricted period, we announce that we will release earnings results during the16-day period beginning on the last day of the90-day restricted period, |
then in either case the expiration of the90-day restricted period will be extended until the expiration of the18-day period beginning on the date of the issuance of an earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or event, as applicable, unless Jefferies & Company, Inc. waives, in writing, such an extension.
Jefferies & Company, Inc. may, in its sole discretion and at any time or from time to time before the termination of the90-day period, without public notice, release all or any portion of the securities subject tolock-up agreements. There are no existing agreements between the underwriter and any of our shareholders who will execute alock-up agreement, providing consent to the sale of shares prior to the expiration of thelock-up period.
Stabilization
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions, including overallotment, stabilizing bids, syndicate covering transactions or the imposition of penalty bids, which may have the effect of stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the common shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Overallotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Establishing short sales positions may involve either “covered” short sales or “naked” short sales.
“Covered” short sales are sales made in an amount not greater than the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of our common shares in this offering. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares of our common shares or purchasing shares of our common shares in the open market. In determining the source of shares to close out the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the option to purchase additional shares.
“Naked” short sales are sales in excess of the option to purchase additional shares of our common shares. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares of our common shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.
S-11
A stabilizing bid is a bid for the purchase of common shares on behalf of the underwriters for the purpose of fixing or maintaining the price of the common shares. A syndicate covering transaction is the bid for or the purchase of common shares on behalf of the underwriters to reduce a short position incurred by the underwriters in connection with the offering. Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriter’s purchases to cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. A penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the underwriters to reclaim the selling concession otherwise accruing to a syndicate member in connection with the offering if the common shares originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction and therefore have not been effectively placed by such syndicate member.
Neither we, nor any of the underwriters makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common shares. The underwriters are not obligated to engage in these activities and, if commenced, any of the activities may be discontinued at any time.
The underwriters may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of shares of our common stock in this offering and extending through the completion of distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
Electronic Distribution
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available bye-mail or on the web sites or through online services maintained by one or more of the underwriters or their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms online and may be allowed to place orders online. The underwriters may agree with us to allocate a specific number of common shares for sale to online brokerage account holders.
Any such allocation for online distributions will be made by the underwriters on the same basis as other allocations. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the underwriters’ web sites and any information contained in any other web site maintained by any of the underwriters is not part of this prospectus, has not been approvedand/or endorsed by us or the underwriters and should not be relied upon by investors.
Affiliations
The underwriters and certain of their affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and certain of their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the issuer, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and certain of their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securitiesand/or instruments of the issuer.

The validity of the shares of common stock offered hereby is being passed upon for us by DLA Piper LLP (US), New York, New York. Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, New York, New York, is counsel to the underwriters in connection with this offering.
EXPERTS
The consolidated financial statements of Unilife Corporation as of June 30, 2011 and 2010 and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2011 have been incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference from our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, incorporated herein by reference and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The audit report covering the June 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company had incurred recurring losses from operations and estimated that its then existing cash and cash equivalents would last only through the third quarter of fiscal 2012 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.
The financial statements of Unilife Corporation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 incorporated in this prospectus supplement by reference from our Annual Report onForm 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 have been audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such financial statements have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

UNILIFE CORPORATION
Overview
We are a U.S. based medical device company focused on the design, development, manufacture and supply of a proprietary range of retractable syringes. Primary target customers for our products include pharmaceutical manufacturers, suppliers of medical equipment to healthcare facilities, and distributors to patients who self-administer prescription medication. All of our syringes incorporate automatic and fully-integrated safety features which are designed to protect those at risk of needlestick injuries and injury from other unsafe injection practices. Our main product is the Unifillready-to-fill syringe, which is designed to be supplied to pharmaceutical manufacturers in a form that is ready for filling with their injectable drugs and vaccines. We have a strategic partnership with sanofi-aventis, a large global pharmaceutical company, pursuant to which it paid us a 10.0 million euro exclusivity fee and has committed to pay us up to an additional 17.0 million euros to fund our industrialization program for the Unifill syringe. Upon the completion of the industrialization program which is scheduled to occur by the end of fiscal 2011, we expect to commence the supply and sale of the Unifill syringe to sanofi-aventis. We are also in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies that are seeking to obtain access to the Unifill syringe.
Our clinical and prefilled safety syringes incorporate automatic, also known as passive, safety features which are fully integrated within the barrel. They are designed to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers and healthcare facilities comply with needlestick prevention laws and to encourage single use and safe disposal practices outside of healthcare settings. We consider the following combination of core proprietary features available in our safety products to be unique within the marketplace:
| |
• | Integrated design. All safety features are fully integrated inside the syringe barrel to facilitate compact handling, intuitive use and convenient disposal. |
|
• | Passive retraction. The activation of the needle retraction mechanism occurs automatically while the needle is inside the body to help prevent the risk of needlestick injury. |
|
• | Controlled retraction. Operators can control the speed of needle retraction directly from the body into the syringe barrel to help reduce the risk of infection through transmission routes such as needlestick injuries and aerosol (splatter). |
|
• | Auto-disable. Upon withdrawal of the needle into the barrel, the plunger is automatically locked to prevent re-exposure or reuse. |
We have utilized this core proprietary technology to design and develop a range of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. Furthermore, we are not aware of any other company that is manufacturing safety syringes with automatic, integrated safety features in both a prefilled (glass) and clinical (plastic) format which share the same common technology platform.
Key target markets for our products include pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication. We believe that the majority of our products would be supplied, either directly or through pharmaceutical customers, for use within sophisticated healthcare markets such as North America, Western Europe and some Asia-Pacific countries that require or are transitioning toward the mandatory use of safety syringes.
Our goal is to progressively move to the forefront of the international transition of healthcare and pharmaceutical markets to the mandatory use of prefilled and clinical safety syringes. We believe that the competitive strength of our proprietary technology puts us in a strong position to become an established and preferred supplier of“best-in-class” safety syringe products to pharmaceutical companies, healthcare facilities and patients who self-administer prescription medication.
Key elements of our business strategy are the development, production and sale of our patent-protected safety syringes, the continued expansion of our global operational and commercial presence and the establishment of long-term supply relationships with multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare equipment companies. We are committed to designing, developing and supplying innovative medical devices that can enhance and save lives.

As of March 31, 2011 and June 30, 2010, our total assets were $98.2 million and $64.8 million, respectively, and our accumulated deficit was $109.8 million and $79.7 million, respectively. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, our revenues were $11.4 million and $20.0 million, respectively, and our net loss was $29.7 million and $517,000, respectively. Our independent registered public accounting firm included, in their audit report on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2010, an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the liquidity condition of the Company. Subsequent to the issuance of the going concern qualification in the audit report, we completed a private placement of common stock in which we raised approximately $33.4 million. However, the issuance of the going concern qualification may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing, if we were to seek to do so.
Corporate Information
Unilife Corporation was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July 2, 2009. On January 27, 2010, our predecessor Unilife Medical Solutions Limited, an Australian corporation, or UMSL, whose ordinary shares were listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX, completed a redomiciliation from Australia to the State of Delaware pursuant to which the shareholders and option holders of UMSL exchanged their interests in UMSL for equivalent interests in Unilife Corporation and Unilife Corporation became the parent company of UMSL and its subsidiaries. The redomiciliation was conducted by way of schemes of arrangement under Australian law. The issuance of Unilife Corporation common stock and stock options under the schemes of arrangement was exempt from registration under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Under the schemes, holders of UMSL ordinary shares or share options received one share of Unilife Corporation common stock or an option to purchase one share of Unilife Corporation common stock, for every six UMSL ordinary shares or share options, respectively, held by such holders, unless the holder elected to receive, in lieu of Unilife Corporation common stock, Chess Depositary Interests of Unilife Corporation, or CDIs (each representing one-sixth of one share of Unilife Corporation common stock), in which case such holder received one CDI for every UMSL ordinary share. The redomiciliation was approved by the Australian Federal Court, and approved by UMSL shareholders and option holders. As a result of the redomiciliation, the listing of UMSL’s ordinary shares on the ASX, has been replaced by Unilife Corporation’s CDIs.
Our principal executive offices are located at 250 Cross Farm Lane, York, Pennsylvania 17406, and our telephone number is(717) 384-3400. Our website address is www.unilife.com. The information on, or that can be accessed through, our website is not part of this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we anticipate that the net proceeds from our sale of any securities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, acquisitions, retirement of debt and other business opportunities. In the case of sales by the selling shareholders, we will not receive any of the proceeds from such sales; however, we may receive proceeds from cash payments made in connection with the exercise of options and warrants held by the selling stockholders that are covered by this prospectus.
RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES
Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $29,687,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and $29,439,000, $40,000, $7,884,000, $8,216,000 and $7,633,000 during the years ended June 30, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. “Earnings” consists of net loss from continuing operations before income tax expense and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the portion of rents that we believe to be representative of the interest factor.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
This prospectus contains a summary of the securities that Unilife or certain selling stockholders to be identified in a prospectus supplement may sell. These summaries are not meant to be a complete description of each security.
4
However, this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement contain the material terms of the securities being offered.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of May 9, 2011, 63,851,300 shares of our common stock, and no shares of our preferred stock, were outstanding.
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including the election of directors. Holders of our common stock do not have any conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. In the event of our dissolution, liquidation or winding up, holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors and the aggregate liquidation preference of any preferred stock then outstanding. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future. All outstanding shares of our common stock are, and any shares of common stock that we may issue in the future will be, fully paid and non-assessable.
Preferred Stock
We may issue any class of preferred stock in any series. Our board of directors has the authority to establish and designate series, and to fix the number of shares included in each such series and the variations in the relative rights, preferences and limitations as between series, provided that, if the stated dividends and amounts payable on liquidation are not paid in full, the shares of all series of the same class shall share ratably in the payment of dividends including accumulations, if any, in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such shares if all dividends were declared and paid in full, and in any distribution of assets other than by way of dividends in accordance with the sums which would be payable on such distribution if all sums payable were discharged in full. Shares of each series when issued shall be designated to distinguish the shares of each series from shares of all other series.
DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The debt securities will be our direct unsecured general obligations. The debt securities will be issued under an indenture between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
We have summarized select portions of the material provisions of the indenture below. The summary is not complete. The form of the indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. We will indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement any material variation from the expected terms of the indenture described below.
General
The debt securities will be our direct unsecured general obligations. Any senior debt securities will rank equally with all of our other senior and unsubordinated debt. Any subordinated debt securities will have a junior position to all of our senior debt.
5
Holders of the debt securities will have a junior position to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries, including trade creditors, debtholders, secured creditors, taxing authorities, guarantee holders and any preferred stockholders, except to the extent that the debt securities are guaranteed by one or more subsidiary guarantees.
The provisions of the indenture allow us to “reopen” a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series.
A prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities being offered will include specific terms relating to the offering. The terms will be established in an officers’ certificate or a supplemental indenture. The officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture will be signed at the time of issuance and will contain important information. The officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report onForm 8-K of Unilife, which will be publicly available. The officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture will include some or all of the following terms for a particular series of debt securities:
| |
• | the title of the securities; |
|
• | the principal amount being offered, and if a series, the total amount authorized and the total amount outstanding; |
|
• | any limit on the amount that may be issued; |
|
• | whether or not the debt securities will be issued in global form and who the depositary will be; |
|
• | the maturity date(s); |
|
• | the principal amount due at maturity; |
|
• | the interest rate or the method of computing the interest rate; |
|
• | the date or dates from which interest will accrue, or how such date or dates will be determined, and the interest payment date or dates and any related record dates; |
|
• | the place(s) where payments will be made; |
|
• | Unilife’s right, if any, to defer payment of interest and the maximum length of any deferral period; |
|
• | whether or not the debt securities will be convertible into shares of our common stock or our preferred stock and, if so, the terms of such conversion; |
|
• | the terms and conditions on which the debt securities may be redeemed at the option of Unilife; |
|
• | the date(s), if any, on which, and the price(s) at which Unilife is obligated to redeem, or at the holder’s option to purchase, such series of debt securities and other related terms and provisions; |
|
• | whether or not the debt securities will be secured or unsecured by some or all of our assets, and the terms of any secured debt; |
|
• | any provisions granting special rights to holders when a specified event occurs; |
|
• | any changes to or additional events of default or covenants; |
|
• | whether the indenture will restrict our ability to pay dividends, or will require us to maintain any asset ratios or reserves; |
|
• | any special tax implications of the debt securities; |
|
• | whether we will be restricted from incurring any additional indebtedness, issuing additional securities, or entering into a merger, consolidation or sale of our business; |
|
• | the denominations in which the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and whole multiples of $1,000; |
6
| |
• | the subordination terms of any subordinated debt securities; and |
|
• | any other terms that are not inconsistent with the indenture. |
Optional Redemption
Unless the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities provides otherwise with respect to such series, each series of debt securities will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of:
| |
• | 100% of the principal amount of the series of debt securities to be redeemed; or |
|
• | the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the series of debt securities to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis (assuming a360-day year consisting of twelve30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus a spread as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
In each case we will pay accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be redeemed to the date of redemption.
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term (“Remaining Life”) of the series of debt securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such series of debt securities.
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the trustee obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
“Independent Investment Banker” means the investment banking institution or institutions specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and their respective successors, or, if such firms or the successors, if any, to such firm or firms, as the case may be, are unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by us.
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means the investment banking institutions specified as such in the applicable prospectus supplement; provided, however, that if any of them ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealers (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), we will substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer.
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to:
(i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities,” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue; provided that, if no maturity is within three months before or after the remaining life of the series of debt securities to be redeemed, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from those yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month; or
7
(ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
The Treasury Rate will be calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date. As used in the immediately preceding sentence and in the definition of “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” above, the term “business day” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of record of the series of debt securities to be redeemed at its registered address. The notice of redemption will state, among other things, the amount of the series of debt securities to be redeemed, the redemption date, the manner in which the redemption price will be calculated and the place or places that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the series of debt securities to be redeemed. If less than all of a series of debt securities are to be redeemed at our option, the trustee will select, in a manner it deems fair and appropriate, the debt securities of that series, or portions of the debt securities of that series, to be redeemed. Unless we default in the payment of the redemption price with respect to any debt securities called for redemption, interest will cease to accrue on such debt securities at the redemption date.
The Company will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any series of debt securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any debt securities of any series so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such series of debt securities being redeemed in part.
Covenants
Under the indenture, Unilife agrees to pay the interest, principal and any premium on the debt securities when due, and to maintain a place of payment. In addition, we must comply with the covenants described below:
Limitation on Liens on Stock of our Significant Subsidiaries. The indenture prohibits us and our subsidiaries from directly or indirectly creating, assuming, incurring or permitting to exist any Indebtedness secured by any lien on the voting stock or voting equity interest of our Significant Subsidiaries (as defined in the indenture) unless the debt securities then outstanding (and, if we so elect, any other Indebtedness of Unilife that is not subordinate to such debt securities and with respect to which we are obligated to provide such security) are secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is so secured. “Indebtedness” is defined as the principal of and any premium and interest due on indebtedness of a person (as defined in the indenture), whether outstanding on the original date of issuance of a series of debt securities or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, which is (a) indebtedness for money borrowed and (b) any amendments, renewals, extensions, modifications and refundings of any such indebtedness. For the purposes of this definition, “indebtedness for money borrowed” means (1) any obligation of, or any obligation guaranteed by, such person for the repayment of borrowed money, whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other written instruments, (2) any obligation of, or any obligation guaranteed by, such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar written instruments, including obligations assumed or incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses (provided, however, that the deferred purchase price of any business or property or assets shall not be considered Indebtedness if the purchase price thereof is payable in full within 90 days from the date on which such indebtedness was created), and (3) any obligations of such person as lessee under leases required to be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee under generally accepted accounting principles and leases of property or assets made as part of any sale and lease-back transaction to which such person is a party. For purposes of this covenant only, Indebtedness also includes any obligation of, or any obligation guaranteed by, any person for the payment of amounts due under a swap agreement or similar instrument or agreement, or under a foreign currency hedge or similar instrument or agreement. If we are required to secure outstanding debt securities equally and ratably with other Indebtedness under this covenant, we will be required to document our compliance with the covenant and thereafter the trustee will be authorized to enter into a supplemental agreement or indenture and to take such action as it
8
may deem advisable to enable it to enforce the rights of the holders of the outstanding debt securities so secured.
Provision of Compliance Certificate. We are required under the indenture to deliver to the trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year an officer’s certificate certifying as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture, or if we are not in compliance, identifying and describing the nature and status of such non-compliance.
Consolidation, Merger or Sale
The indenture does not restrict the ability of Unilife to merge or consolidate, or sell, convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its assets as long as certain conditions are met. We may only merge or consolidate with, or convey, transfer or lease all of our assets to, any person, if doing so will not result in an event of default. Any such successor, acquiror or lessor of such assets must expressly assume all of the obligations of Unilife under the indenture and the debt securities and will succeed to every right and power of Unilife under the indenture. Thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor or transferor of such assets will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the indenture and debt securities.
Events of Default Under the Indenture
The following are events of default under the indenture with respect to any series of debt securities issued:
| |
• | we fail to pay interest when due and such failure continues for 90 days, unless the time for payment has been properly extended or deferred in accordance with the terms of the particular series; |
|
• | we fail to pay the principal or any premium when due, unless the maturity has been properly extended in accordance with the terms of the particular series; |
|
• | we fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the debt securities or the indenture, other than a covenant or agreement specifically relating to another series of debt securities, and such failure continues for 90 days after we receive a notice of default from the trustee or from the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all of the affected series; |
|
• | certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, whether voluntary or not; and |
|
• | any additional events of default that may be established with respect to a particular series of debt securities under the indenture, as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. |
If, with regard to any series, an event of default resulting from a failure to pay principal, any premium or interest occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may declare the principal of all debt securities of that series immediately due and payable.
If an event of default other than a failure to pay principal, any premium or interest occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all affected series (all such series voting together as a single class) may declare the principal of all debt securities of such affected series immediately due and payable.
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all affected series (voting together as a single class) may waive any past default with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default or events of default regarding payment of principal, any premium or interest, in which case the holders of the outstanding debt securities of each affected series shall vote to waive such default or event of default as a separate class. Such a waiver will eliminate the default.
Unless otherwise specified in the indenture, if an event of default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the holders of the debt securities have offered the trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee against the costs, expenses and
9
liabilities that it might incur. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by an event of default, voting together as a single class, or, in the event of a default in the payment of principal, any premium or interest, the holders of a majority of the principal amount outstanding of each affected series voting as a separate class, will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series, provided that:
| |
• | such direction is not in conflict with any law or the indenture or unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of any other series of debt securities outstanding under the indenture; and |
|
• | unless otherwise provided under the Trust Indenture Act, the trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability. |
A holder of the debt securities of a particular series will only have the right to institute a proceeding under the indenture or to appoint a receiver or trustee, or to seek other remedies, in each case with respect to such series of debt securities, if:
| |
• | the holder has given written notice to the trustee of a continuing event of default; |
|
• | in the case of an event of default relating to the payment of principal, any premium or interest, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the particular series have made written request to the trustee to institute proceedings as trustee; |
|
• | in the case of an event of default not relating to payment of principal, any premium or interest, the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series affected by such event of default (voting together as a single class) have made written request to the trustee to institute proceedings as trustee; |
|
• | such holders have offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the trustee to cover the cost of the proceedings; and |
|
• | the trustee does not institute a proceeding, and does not receive conflicting directions from a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of (i) the particular series, in the case of an event of default relating to the payment of principal, any premium or interest or (ii) all affected series, in the case of an event of default not relating to the payment of principal, any premium or interest, in each case, within 60 days of receiving the written notice of an event of default. |
Modification of Indenture; Waiver
Without the consent of any holders of debt securities, Unilife and the trustee may change an indenture:
| |
• | to fix any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the indenture; |
|
• | to effect the assumption of a successor corporation of our obligations under such indenture and the outstanding debt securities; |
|
• | to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of debt securities under such indenture or surrender any right or power we have under such indenture; |
|
• | to change anything that does not materially adversely affect the interests of any holder of debt securities of any series; and |
|
• | to effect certain other limited purposes described in the indenture. |
The rights of holders of a series of debt securities may be changed by Unilife and the trustee with the written consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series then
10
outstanding under the indenture (all such series voting together as a single class). However, the following changes may only be made with the consent of each holder of debt securities of each series affected by the change:
| |
• | extending the fixed maturity; |
|
• | reducing the principal amount; |
|
• | reducing the rate of or extending the time of payment of interest; |
|
• | reducing any premium payable upon redemption; |
|
• | reducing the percentage of debt securities referred to above, the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment; or |
|
• | making any change to the subordination terms, if any, of any debt security that would adversely affect the holders of the debt securities of that series. |
Rights and Duties of the Trustee
The trustee, except when there is an event of default, will perform only those duties as are specifically stated in the indenture. If an event of default has occurred with respect to any series of debt securities, the trustee must exercise with respect to such debt securities the rights and powers it has under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill as a prudent person would exercise or use in the conduct of his or her own affairs. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the trustee is not required to exercise any of the powers given it by the indenture at the request of any holder of debt securities unless it is offered reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that it might incur. The trustee is not required to spend or risk its own money or otherwise become financially liable while performing its duties or exercising its rights or powers unless it reasonably believes that it will be repaid or receive adequate indemnity. The trustee will not be deemed to have any notice of any default or event of default unless a responsible officer of the trustee has actual knowledge of or receives written notice of the default which specifies the affected securities and the indenture. Furthermore, the rights and protections of the trustee, including its right of indemnification under the indenture, extend to the trustee’s officers, directors, agents and employees, and will survive the trustee’s resignation and removal.
Payment and Paying Agents
We will pay interest on any debt securities to the person in whose name the debt securities are registered on the regular record date for the applicable interest payment date.
We will pay principal, any premium and interest on the debt securities of a particular series at the office of one or more paying agents that we designate for that series. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable supplemental indenture and prospectus supplement, we will initially designate the corporate trust office of the trustee in the City of New York as our sole paying agent. We will be required to maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the debt securities.
All money we pay to a paying agent or the trustee for the payment of principal, any premium or interest on any debt security which remains unclaimed for a period of two years after the principal, premium or interest has become due and payable will, upon our request, be repaid to us, and the holder of the debt security may then look only to us for payment of those amounts.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
11
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants to purchase our debt or equity securities or securities of third parties or other rights, including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices, or any combination of the foregoing. Warrants may be issued independently or together with any other securities and may be attached to, or separate from, such securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and a warrant agent. The terms of any warrants to be issued and a description of the material provisions of the applicable warrant agreement will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
As specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more warrants, debt securities, shares of preferred stock, shares of common stock or any combination of such securities.
FORMS OF SECURITIES
Each debt security, warrant and unit will be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive form to a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitive securities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receive payments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar, paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, warrants or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflect each investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank, trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.
Registered Global Securities
We may issue the registered debt securities, warrants and units in the form of one or more fully registered global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the name of that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more registered global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by registered global securities. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a registered global security may not be transferred except as a whole by and among the depositary for the registered global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.
If not described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a registered global security will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply to all depositary arrangements.
Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositary or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a registered global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficially owned by the participants. Any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a registered global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records of participants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in registered global securities.
12
So long as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a registered global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the registered global security for all purposes under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the registered global security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a registered global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that registered global security and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement. We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest in a registered global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, warrant agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the registered global security would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to warrants or units, represented by a registered global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner of the registered global security. None of Unilife, the trustees, the warrant agents, the unit agents or any other agent of Unilife, agent of the trustees or agent of the warrant agents or unit agents will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the registered global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.
We expect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a registered global security, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property to holders on that registered global security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that registered global security as shown on the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a registered global security held through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.
If the depositary for any of these securities represented by a registered global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the registered global security that had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a registered global security will be registered in the name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs. It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the registered global security that had been held by the depositary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Weand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, may sell the securities in one or more of the following ways (or in any combination) from time to time:
| |
• | through underwriters or dealers; |
|
• | directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser; or |
|
• | through agents. |
Each time we offer and sell securities under this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement. The prospectus supplement will state the terms of the offering of the securities, including:
| |
• | the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents; |
|
• | the purchase price of such securities and the proceeds to be received by Unilife, if any; |
|
• | any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation; |
|
• | any initial public offering price; |
|
• | any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and |
|
• | any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed. |
Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If weand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, use underwriters in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including:
| |
• | negotiated transactions; |
|
• | at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
• | at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
• | at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
|
• | at negotiated prices. |
Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.
Weand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Weand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities from Unilife at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for solicitation of these contracts.
In offering the shares covered by this prospectus, the selling stockholders, and any broker-dealers and any other participating broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders, may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. Any profits realized by the selling stockholders and the compensation of such broker-dealers may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.
18
Underwriters and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with Unilifeand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, to indemnification by Unilifeand/or the selling stockholders, if applicable, against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters or agents may be required to make. Underwriters and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for Unilife and its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.
Each series of securities will be a new issue of securities and will have no established trading market other than the common stock which is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market. Any underwriters to whom securities are sold for public offering and sale may make a market in the securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. The securities, other than the common stock, may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange.
