Represented by up to 8,006,405 American Depositary Shares
Represented by up to 8,006,405 American Depositary Shares
This prospectus relates to the proposed resale or other disposition by the selling shareholders identified herein (the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to an aggregate of 24,019,215 of our ordinary shares (represented by 8,006,405 American Depositary Shares) (the “ADSs”), consisting of (i) an aggregate of 21,617,295 ordinary shares (represented by 7,205,765 ADSs) and (ii) 2,401,920 ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of non-voting ordinary shares (represented by 800,640 ADSs) (collectively, the “Resale Securities”). We agreed to issue and sell the Resale Securities to the Selling Shareholders in a private placement pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) executed on September 29, 2023.
We are not selling any ordinary shares or ADSs under this prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the Selling Shareholders of the Resale Securities.
Sales of the Resale Securities by the Selling Shareholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Shareholders, the purchasers of the Resale Securities, or both.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Resale Securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. The Selling Shareholders will bear all commissions attributable to their sale of Resale Securities and all fees and expenses of legal counsel for any Selling Shareholder. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.”
Our ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), under the symbol “GPCR.” The last reported sale price of our ADSs on Nasdaq on November 16, 2023 was $47.95 per ADS.
We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” as those terms are defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced reporting requirements for this prospectus and may elect to do so in future filings.
There are legal and operational risks associated with having certain of our operations in China, including risks related to Chinese and U.S. regulations, changes in the legal, political and economic policies of the Chinese government, and the relations between China and the United States which may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our ADSs. Any such changes could potentially limit our ability to offer or continue to offer our ADSs to investors, and could potentially cause the value of our ADSs to decline.
Investing in our ADSs involves a high degree of risk. See the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 13 to read about factors you should consider before deciding to invest in our ADSs.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements relate to future events or to our future operating or financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and in our periodic filings with the SEC. Our SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond our control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date of this prospectus. See the section titled “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this prospectus, and while we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

Overview
We are a clinical stage global biopharmaceutical company aiming to develop and deliver novel oral therapeutics to treat a wide range of chronic diseases with unmet medical need. Our differentiated technology platform leverages structure-based drug discovery and computational chemistry expertise and enables us to develop oral small molecule therapeutics for the treatment of various diseases including those impacting the metabolic, cardiovascular, and pulmonary systems. In February 2023, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) for net proceeds of $166.7 million. In September 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Shareholders, pursuant to which we issued and sold an aggregate of 21,617,295 ordinary shares and 2,401,920 non-voting ordinary shares for $300.0 million in gross proceeds before deducting placement agent fees and other private placement expenses.
Our initial focus is on G-protein coupled receptors (“GPCRs”) as a therapeutic target class. GPCRs regulate numerous diverse physiological and pathological processes, and approximately one in every three marketed medicines targets GPCR-associated pathways. By leveraging our world-class GPCR know-how, we aim to design differentiated small molecule therapies to overcome the limitations of biologics and peptide therapies targeting this family of receptors. We are developing GSBR-1290, our oral small molecule product candidate targeting the validated glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor (“GLP-1R”) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (“T2DM”) and obesity. We completed our Phase 1 single ascending dose (“SAD”) study of GSBR-1290 in September 2022. GSBR-1290 was generally well tolerated and demonstrated dose-dependent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic activity. We submitted an investigational new drug (“IND”) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to support initiation of a Phase 1b study in T2DM and obesity and received FDA allowance in September 2022. We initiated the Phase 1b multiple ascending dose (“MAD”) study in January 2023 and completed dosing in healthy overweight subjects in March 2023. In May 2023, we submitted a protocol amendment to the FDA and initiated dosing of the Phase 2a proof-of-concept study in T2DM and obesity. We reported topline data for the 28-day Phase 1b MAD study in September 2023, in which GSBR-1290 was generally well-tolerated with no adverse event-related discontinuations and demonstrated an encouraging safety profile and significant weight loss of up to 4.9% placebo-adjusted, supporting once-daily dosing. We expect to report Phase 2a diabetes cohort topline data in December 2023, along with results from a Japanese ethno-bridging study of GSBR-1290. Due to a data collection omission that occurred at a clinical site that impacted the obesity cohort of the Phase 2a study, we now expect to report Phase 2a obesity cohort data in the first half of 2024. While we remain blinded to data from the Phase 2a obesity cohort, there were no adverse-event related discontinuations through the end of the study at 12 weeks for any of the 40 participants. We also initiated a formulation bridging study to evaluate a tablet formulation of GSBR-1290. This study is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024, in preparation for the two planned global Phase 2b studies for T2DM and obesity which we expect to initiate in the second half of 2024.
We are advancing a robust pipeline of small molecule therapeutic candidates for chronic diseases with unmet medical need.

Metabolic Diseases
We are initially advancing our GLP-1R franchise as a treatment for T2DM and obesity, conditions affecting approximately 537 million and 764 million people worldwide, respectively. We believe our GLP-1R programs have demonstrated qualities that offer the potential to differentiate them versus current approved and development stage programs.
•
GSBR-1290: GSBR-1290 is a biased GLP-1R agonist which has demonstrated dose-dependent activation of the G-protein pathway. GSBR-1290 has also demonstrated glucose-dependent insulin secretion and suppressed food intake with similar activity to an approved injectable peptide GLP-1R agonist in preclinical models. The product candidate is designed to be orally administered, without restrictions on diet or concomitant therapy.
•
Next-Generation: Our next generation small molecule program is focused on GLP-1R candidates, including GLP-1R/GIPR agonists and amylin agonists, each designed with customized properties to achieve additional benefits like the potential for enhanced metabolic control.
Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Diseases
Our APJR agonist, ANPA-0073, is being evaluated for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension. In addition, we are evaluating our LPA1R program, LTSE-2578, for IPF.
Our APJR product candidate, ANPA-0073, is a G-protein biased APJR agonist for which we completed a Phase 1 SAD and MAD study, in which it was generally well tolerated as a single dose from 2mg to 600 mg, and at doses from 75 mg to 500 mg once daily dosing for seven days, with no serious adverse events reported. We expect to conduct additional preclinical studies to be followed by a Phase 1 formulation bridging PK study in Australia.
Our LPA1R program, LTSE-2578, is an investigational oral small molecule LPA1R antagonist. We believe LTSE-2578 is a differentiated molecule because it demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo activity in preclinical IPF models and dose dependent inhibition of histamine release as the pharmacodynamic marker. We plan to initiate a first-in-human study in 2024.
GSBR-1290 — Phase 1b MAD Study
The Phase 1b MAD study focused on the safety and tolerability of GSBR-1290 in 24 healthy overweight or obese individuals. Participants were randomized 3:1 to GSBR-1290 or placebo across three dose cohorts with target doses of 30mg, 60mg or 90mg.
GSBR-1290 demonstrated reductions in mean body weight ranging up to 4.9 kg compared to baseline, and up to 4.9% placebo-adjusted.

GSBR-1290 demonstrated an encouraging safety and tolerability profile following once-daily dosing. No participants discontinued the study drug due to adverse events. The majority of adverse events reported were mild, with no severe or serious adverse events observed. As expected for this class, leading adverse events were gastrointestinal-related, with the two most common adverse events being nausea and vomiting, with higher incidences observed in the 60 and 90 mg dose cohorts compared to placebo. There were no clinically meaningful changes in liver function tests.

Private Placement
On September 29, 2023, we entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Selling Shareholders, pursuant to which we sold and issued an aggregate of 21,617,295 ordinary shares and 2,401,920 non-voting ordinary shares at closing on October 3, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). Each holder of non-voting ordinary shares has the right to convert each non-voting ordinary share held by such holder into one ordinary share, subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, as described further in the description of the rights of the non-voting ordinary shares included as Exhibit A to the Purchase Agreement. Each ordinary share and non-voting ordinary share was sold at $12.49 per share (or the equivalent of $37.47 per ADS), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $300.0 million before deducting placement agent fees and other private placement expenses.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC within 45 days of the Closing Date to register the resale of the ordinary shares sold under the Purchase

These patent applications relate to compositions of matter of heterocyclic GLP-1 agonists, including GSBR-1290 and its analogs, solid forms and methods of treating conditions associated with GLP-1R activity. We intend to strengthen the patent protection of our product candidates and other discoveries, inventions, trade secrets and know-how that are critical to our business operations through additional patent application filings.
For our APJR program, as of October 31, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary Annapurna Bio, Inc. is the sole owner of two granted U.S. patents and two pending U.S. patent applications, one PCT application, and 23 pending foreign patent applications in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the People’s Republic of China, the EAPO, the EPO, Hong Kong, Israel, India, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Africa relating to compounds and compositions of matter for treating conditions associated with Apelin receptor activity, including ANPA-0073 and its analogs, solid forms and methods of treating conditions associated with Apelin receptor activity. Any patents issuing from these patent applications (or in the case of priority applications, if issued from future non-provisional applications that we file) are expected to expire between 2039 and 2043, without accounting for potentially available patent term adjustments or extensions.
For our LPA1R program, as of October 31, 2023, our wholly-owned subsidiary Lhotse Bio, Inc. is the sole owner of two pending U.S. patent applications, four PCT applications and seven pending foreign patent applications in Argentina, the People’s Republic of China, the EPO, Japan, and Taiwan relating to compounds and compositions of matter for treating conditions associated with LPA receptor activity, including LTSE-2578 and its analogs, and methods of treating conditions associated with LPA receptor activity. Any patents issuing from these patent applications (or in the case of priority applications, if issued from future non-provisional applications that we file) are expected to expire between 2041 and 2044, without accounting for potentially available patent term adjustments or extensions.
Regulatory Requirements in China
Revised Cybersecurity Review Measures
On July 10, 2021, the Cybersecurity Administration of China (the “CAC”) published a draft revision to the existing Cybersecurity Review Measures for public comment (the “Revised Draft CAC Measures”). On January 4, 2022, together with 12 other Chinese regulatory authorities, the CAC released the final version of the Revised Draft CAC Measures (the “Revised CAC Measures”), which came into effect on February 15, 2022. Pursuant to the Revised CAC Measures, critical information infrastructure operators procuring network products and services, and online platform operators (as opposed to “data processors” in the Revised Draft CAC Measures) carrying out data processing activities which affect or may affect national security, shall conduct a cybersecurity review pursuant to the provisions therein. In addition, online platform operators possessing personal information of more than one million users seeking to be listed on foreign stock markets must apply for a cybersecurity review. On November 14, 2021, the CAC further published the Regulations on Network Data Security Management (Draft for Comment) (the “Draft Management Regulations”), under which data processors refer to individuals and organizations who determine the data
4
processing activities in terms of the purpose and methods at their discretion. The Draft Management Regulations reiterate that data processors shall be subject to cybersecurity review if (i) they process personal information of more than one million persons and they are aiming to list on foreign stock markets, or (ii) their data processing activities affect or may affect Chinese national security. The Draft Management Regulations also request data processors seeking to list on foreign stock markets to annually assess their data security by themselves or through data security service organizations, and submit the assessment reports to relevant competent authorities. As the Draft Management Regulations are released only for public comment, the final version and the effective date thereof is subject to change.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not received any notice from any Chinese regulatory authority identifying us as a “critical information infrastructure operator,” “online platform operator” or “data processor,” or requiring us to go through the cybersecurity review procedures pursuant to the Revised CAC Measures and the Draft Management Regulations. Based on our understanding of the Revised CAC Measures, and the Draft Management Regulations if enacted as currently proposed, we do not expect to become subject to cybersecurity review by the CAC for issuing securities to foreign investors because: (i) the clinical and preclinical data we handle in our business operations, either by its nature or in scale, do not normally trigger significant concerns over Chinese national security; and (ii) we have not processed, and do not anticipate to process in the foreseeable future, personal information for more than one million users or persons. However, there remains uncertainty as to how the Revised CAC Measures, and the Draft Management Regulations if enacted as currently proposed, will be interpreted or implemented. For example, neither the Revised CAC Measures nor the Draft Management Regulations provides further clarification or interpretation on the criteria for determining those activities that “affect or may affect national security” and relevant Chinese regulatory authorities may interpret it broadly. Furthermore, there remains uncertainty as to whether the Chinese regulatory authorities may adopt new laws, regulations, rules, or detailed implementation and interpretation in relation, or in addition, to the Revised CAC Measures and the Draft Management Regulations. While we intend to closely monitor the evolving laws and regulations in this area and take all reasonable measures to mitigate compliance risks, we cannot guarantee that our business and operations will not be adversely affected by the potential impact of the Revised CAC Measures, the Draft Management Regulations or other laws and regulations related to privacy, data protection and information security. For additional information, see the sections titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China and Our International Operations — Compliance with China’s new Data Security Law, Cybersecurity Review Measures, Personal Information Protection Law, regulations and guidelines relating to the multi-level protection scheme on cyber security and any other future laws and regulations may entail significant expenses and could affect our business” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China and Our International Operations — The approval of, filing or other procedures with the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory agencies may be required in connection with issuing securities to foreign investors under Chinese law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able, or how long it will take us, to obtain such approval or complete such filing or other procedures” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein.
CSRC Regulation on Securities Offerings and Listings Outside of China
On July 6, 2021, the General Office of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council jointly issued the Opinions on Strictly Cracking Down Illegal Securities Activities in Accordance with the Law. These opinions call for strengthened regulation over illegal securities activities and increased supervision of overseas listings by China-based companies, and propose to take effective measures, such as promoting the construction of relevant regulatory systems to regulate the risks and incidents faced by China-based overseas-listed companies.
On February 17, 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (“CSRC”) promulgated a new set of regulations consisting of the Trial Administrative Measures of Overseas Securities Offering and Listing by Domestic Companies (the “Trial Measures”) and five supporting guidelines which came into effect on March 31, 2023 to regulate overseas securities offering and listing activities by domestic companies either in direct or indirect form. For more details, see the section titled “Business — Regulation — Other Significant Chinese Regulation Affecting Our Business Activities in China — Regulations on Securities Offering and Listing Outside of China” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein.

As of the date of this prospectus, (i) we have not received any inquiry, notice, warning, sanction or any regulatory objections to this offering from the CSRC, the CAC or any other Chinese regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction over our operations; and (ii) based on our understanding of the currently effective People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) laws and regulations, we are not required to obtain approval or prior permission from the CSRC, the CAC or other Chinese regulatory authorities to conduct this offering. However, we cannot assure you that the relevant Chinese regulatory authorities, including the CSRC and the CAC, would reach the same conclusion as us. If such an approval, filing or other procedure is required, it is uncertain whether we will be able to obtain and how long it will take for us to obtain the approval or complete the filing or other procedures, despite our best efforts. If our Chinese subsidiary does not receive or maintain permissions or approvals or inadvertently concludes that permissions or approvals needed for its business are not required, or if there are changes in applicable laws (including regulations) or interpretations of laws, and our Chinese subsidiary is required but unable to obtain any permissions or approvals in the future, then such changes or need for approvals (if not obtained) could adversely affect the operations of our Chinese subsidiary, including limiting or prohibiting the ability of our Chinese subsidiary to operate, and potentially cause the value of our ADSs or ordinary shares to decline. If we, for any reason, are unable to obtain or complete, or experience significant delays in obtaining or completing, the requisite relevant approval(s), filing(s) or other procedure(s), the regulatory authorities may impose fines and penalties on our operations in China, limit our operating privileges in China, revoke our business licenses, delay or restrict the repatriation of the proceeds from this offering into China or take other actions that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, as well as the trading price of the ADSs.
If the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities later promulgate new rules or explanations requiring that we obtain their approvals or complete filing or other procedures for this offering, we may be unable to obtain a waiver of such requirements, if and when procedures are established to obtain such a waiver. Even after the completion of this offering, our listing status and the trading of our ADSs and ordinary shares may be affected if the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities determine that we were or are non-compliant with any PRC laws or regulations. Any uncertainties and/or negative publicity regarding such approval requirement could have an adverse effect on the trading price of the ADSs.
For additional information, see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China and our International Operations — The approval of, filing or other procedures with the CSRC or other Chinese regulatory authorities may be required in connection with issuing securities to foreign investors under Chinese law, and, if required, we cannot predict whether we will be able, or how long it will take us, to obtain such approval or complete such filing or other procedures” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein.
Other
To operate our general business activities currently conducted in China, our Chinese subsidiary is required to obtain a business license from the State Administration for Market Regulation (the “SAMR”). Our Chinese subsidiary has obtained a valid business license from the SAMR, and no application for any such license has been denied.
Dividends, Distributions and Other Transfers
To date, there have not been and we do not plan to have any dividends or other distributions from our Chinese subsidiary to our subsidiaries located outside of China. In addition, as of the date of this prospectus, none of our subsidiaries have ever issued any dividends or distributions to us or their respective shareholders outside of China. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries have ever paid or plan to pay any dividends or made distributions to U.S. investors. In the future, cash proceeds raised from overseas financing activities, including this offering, may be transferred by us to our Chinese subsidiary via capital contribution or shareholder loans, as the case may be.
According to the Foreign Investment Law of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing rules, which jointly established the legal framework for the administration of foreign-invested companies, a foreign investor may, in accordance with other applicable laws, freely transfer into or out of China its contributions, profits, capital earnings, income from asset disposal, intellectual property, royalties acquired,
6
compensation or indemnity legally obtained, and income from liquidation, made or derived within the territory of China in renminbi (“RMB”) or any foreign currency, and any entity or individual shall not illegally restrict such transfer in terms of the currency, amount and frequency. According to the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China and other Chinese laws and regulations, our Chinese subsidiary may pay dividends only out of its accumulated profits as determined in accordance with Chinese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, our Chinese subsidiary is required to set aside at least 10% of its accumulated after-tax profits, if any, each year to fund a certain statutory reserve fund, until the aggregate amount of such fund reaches 50% of its registered capital. Where the statutory reserve fund is insufficient to cover any loss the Chinese subsidiary incurred in the previous financial year, such Chinese subsidiary’s current financial year’s accumulated after-tax profits shall first be used to cover the loss before any statutory reserve fund is drawn therefrom. Such statutory reserve funds and the accumulated after-tax profits that are used for covering the loss cannot be distributed to us as dividends. At its discretion, our Chinese subsidiary may allocate a portion of its after-tax profits based on Chinese accounting standards to a discretionary reserve fund.
Within our company, registered capital contributions to our Chinese subsidiary Shanghai ShouTi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. are made by our Hong Kong subsidiary ShouTi Hong Kong Limited. Payments for intercompany services which include research and development and administrative expenses are made directly to our Chinese subsidiary by our non-Chinese subsidiaries.
RMB is not freely convertible into other currencies. As a result, any restriction on currency exchange may limit the ability of our Chinese subsidiary to use its potential future RMB revenues to pay dividends to us. The Chinese government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of China. Shortages in availability of foreign currency may then restrict the ability of our Chinese subsidiary to remit sufficient foreign currency to our offshore entities for our offshore entities to pay dividends or make other payments or otherwise to satisfy our foreign-currency-denominated obligations. The RMB is currently convertible under the “current account,” which includes dividends, trade and service-related foreign exchange transactions, but not under the “capital account,” which includes foreign direct investment and foreign currency debt, including loans we may secure for our onshore subsidiaries. Currently, our Chinese subsidiary may purchase foreign currency for settlement of “current account transactions,” including payment of dividends to us, without the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange of China (the “SAFE”), by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, the relevant Chinese governmental authorities may limit or eliminate our ability to purchase foreign currencies in the future for current account transactions. The Chinese government may continue to strengthen its capital controls, and additional restrictions and substantial vetting processes may be instituted by SAFE for cross-border transactions falling under both the current account and the capital account. Any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit our ability to utilize revenue generated in RMB to fund our business activities outside of China or pay dividends in foreign currencies to holders of our securities. Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account remain subject to limitations and require approvals from, or registration with, SAFE and other relevant Chinese governmental authorities. This could affect our ability to obtain foreign currency through debt or equity financing for our subsidiaries. ADS holders may potentially be subject to Chinese taxes on dividends paid by us in the event we are deemed a Chinese resident enterprise for Chinese tax purposes. See the section titled “Taxation — Material PRC Taxation” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference herein, for more details.
Risk Factors Summary
Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this Prospectus Summary. Some of these risks include:
•
We have a limited operating history and have incurred significant operating losses since our inception and expect to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future.
•
We will require substantial additional capital to finance our operations, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate certain of our product development programs, commercialization efforts or other operations.
7
•
Our approach to the discovery of product candidates based on our technology platform is unproven, and we do not know whether we will be able to develop any products of commercial value.
•
We are early in our development efforts and only have two product candidates, GSBR-1290 and ANPA-0073, in early clinical development. All of our other development programs are in the preclinical or discovery stage. If we are unable to advance our product candidates in clinical development, obtain regulatory approval and ultimately commercialize our product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business will be materially harmed.
•
Clinical and preclinical drug development involves a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain timelines and outcomes. The results of prior clinical trials and preclinical studies are not necessarily predictive of future results, and may not be favorable, or receive regulatory approval on a timely basis, if at all.
•
As an organization, we have never conducted later-stage clinical trials or submitted a New Drug Application, and may be unable to do so for any of our product candidates.
•
We have conducted, or plan to conduct, our initial clinical studies for GSBR-1290, ANPA-0073, LTSE-2578, and our other product candidates outside of the United States. However, the FDA and other foreign equivalents may not accept data from such trials, in which case our development plans will be delayed, which could materially harm our business.
•
We rely on third parties for the manufacture of our product candidates for preclinical and clinical development and expect to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. This reliance on third parties increases the risk that we will not have sufficient quantities of our product candidates or products or such quantities at an acceptable cost, which could delay, prevent or impair our development or commercialization efforts.
•
We have entered into, and may in the future enter into, collaboration agreements and strategic alliances to maximize the potential of our structure-based drug discovery platform and product candidates, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of such collaborations or alliances. We expect to continue to form collaborations in the future with respect to our product candidates, but may be unable to do so or to realize the potential benefits of such transactions, which may cause us to alter or delay our development and commercialization plans.
•
Our existing discovery collaborations with Schrödinger, LLC are important to our business. If we are unable to maintain these collaborations, or if these collaborations are not successful, our business could be adversely affected.
•
We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than us.
•
We conduct certain research and development operations through our Australian wholly-owned subsidiaries. If we lose our ability to operate in Australia, or if any of our subsidiaries are unable to receive the research and development tax credit allowed by Australian regulations, or are required to refund any research and development tax credit previously received or reserve for such credit in our financial statements, our business and results of operations could suffer.
•
Any difficulties or delays in the commencement or completion, or termination or suspension, of our planned clinical trials could result in increased costs to us, delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and adversely affect our commercial prospects.
•
Serious adverse events, undesirable side effects or other unexpected properties of our product candidates may be identified during development or after approval, which could lead to the discontinuation of our clinical development programs, refusal by regulatory authorities to approve our product candidates or, if discovered following marketing approval, revocation of marketing authorizations or limitations on the use of our product candidates, any of which would limit the commercial potential of such product candidate.
•
The marketing approval processes of the FDA and applicable foreign authorities are lengthy, time consuming, expensive and inherently unpredictable, and if we are ultimately unable to obtain marketing approval for our product candidates, our business will be substantially harmed.
8
•
Our current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture of our product candidates or drugs may adversely affect our future profit margins and our ability to commercialize any product candidates that receive marketing approval on a timely and competitive basis.
•
We rely on third parties to conduct, supervise and monitor our discovery research, preclinical studies and clinical trials. We have experienced delays due to actions of third parties in the past and if in the future third parties do not satisfactorily carry out their contractual duties or fail to meet expected deadlines, our development programs may be delayed or subject to increased costs, each of which may have an adverse effect on our business and prospects.
•
We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience as a company in commercializing products, and we may invest significant resources to develop these capabilities. If we are unable to establish marketing and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our products, we may not be able to generate product revenue.
•
Changes in the political and economic policies of the Chinese government or in relations between China and the United States may affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the market price of our ADSs.
•
We may rely on one or more in-licenses from third parties. If we lose these rights, our business may be materially adversely affected, and if disputes arise with one or more licensors, we may be subjected to future litigation as well as the potential loss of or limitations on our ability to develop and commercialize products and technologies covered by these license agreements.
•
If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for our platform technologies and product candidates, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection is not sufficiently broad, our competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to ours, and our ability to successfully commercialize our products may be adversely affected.
•
Although the audit report, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus, is prepared by auditors who are currently subject to inspection by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) there is no guarantee that future audit reports will be prepared by auditors subject to inspection by the PCAOB and, as such, future investors may be deprived of the benefits of such inspection. Furthermore, trading in our securities may be prohibited under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act or the Accelerating Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act if the SEC subsequently identifies that our audit work is performed by an auditor that the PCAOB is unable to inspect or investigate completely, and as a result, U.S. national securities exchanges, such as the Nasdaq, may delist our securities.
•
We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.
•
Holders of our ADSs have fewer rights than our shareholders and must act through the depositary to exercise their rights.
•
The Chinese government may intervene in or influence our operations at any time, which could result in a change in our operations and impact the value of our ADSs. For additional information regarding the risks associated with having operations in China, please see the section titled “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Doing Business in China and Our International Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein.
•
Both recent and future economic, political and social conditions, as well as governmental policies and regulatory actions implemented in China, could affect our ability to operate our business. Due to our operations in China, any future Chinese, U.S. or other rules and regulations that place restrictions on capital raising or other activities by companies with operations in China could affect our business, results of operations and the market price of our ADSs.
9
•
As of the date of this prospectus, we are not required to obtain approval or prior permission of this offering from the CSRC or any other Chinese regulatory authority under the Chinese laws and regulations currently in effect. As of the date of this prospectus, neither we nor any of our subsidiaries, including but not limited to our operating company subsidiaries, have been informed by the CSRC, the CAC, or any other Chinese regulatory authority of any requirements, approvals or permissions that we should obtain prior to this offering. However, as there are uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system and changes in laws, regulations and policies, including how those laws and regulations will be interpreted or implemented, there can be no assurance that the relevant Chinese regulatory authorities, including the CSRC, would reach the same conclusion as us, or we will not be subject to such requirements, approvals or permissions in the future. If our Chinese subsidiary does not receive or maintain permissions or approvals or inadvertently concludes that permissions or approvals needed for its business are not required, or if there are changes in applicable laws (including regulations) or interpretations of laws, and our Chinese subsidiary is required but unable to obtain any permissions or approvals in the future, then such changes or need for approvals (if not obtained) could adversely affect the operations of our Chinese subsidiary, including limiting or prohibiting the ability of our Chinese subsidiary to operate, and potentially cause the value of our ADSs or ordinary shares to decline

Trademarks and Service Marks
We use the name Structure Therapeutics, the Structure Therapeutics logo and marks in the United States and other countries. This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain references to our trademarks, trade names and service marks and to those belonging to other entities. Solely for convenience, the trademarks and trade names in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein may be referred to without the ® and ™ symbols, but such references should not be construed as any indicator that their respective owners will not assert their rights thereto.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), enacted in April 2012. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold shares.
10
In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This provision allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of some accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, we are not subject to the same requirements to adopt new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies; however, we may adopt certain new or revised accounting standards early. We would cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have $1.235 billion or more in annual revenue; (ii) the date on which we first qualify as a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC; (iii) the date on which we have, in any three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (iv) the last day of the fiscal year ending after the fifth anniversary of our IPO.
We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an emerging growth company. We may take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies and will be able to take advantage of these scaled disclosures for so long as our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, or our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter.

Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1%.
(1)
“Beneficial ownership” is a term broadly defined by the SEC in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, and includes more than the typical form of share ownership, that is, shares held in the person’s name. The term also includes what is referred to as “indirect ownership,” meaning ownership of shares as to which a person has or shares investment power. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares that are currently convertible or convertible within 60 days of October 13, 2023 (or such other date explicitly noted in the footnote to the selling shareholder’s holdings). In computing the number of ordinary shares beneficially owned by a selling shareholder and the percentage ownership of such selling shareholder, we deemed ordinary shares issuable upon the conversion of non-voting ordinary shares, as applicable, as beneficially owned by such selling shareholder because such non-voting ordinary shares are convertible within 60 days of October 13, 2023 (or such other date explicitly noted in the footnote to the selling shareholder’s holdings). We did not deem such ordinary shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling shareholder.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Selling Shareholders, which shall include donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling ADSs representing ordinary shares or interests in such securities received after the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their ADSs or interests therein on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the ADSs are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of ADSs or interests therein:
•
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
•
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the ordinary shares 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 own account;
•
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
short sales effected;
•
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
•
through agreements between broker-dealers and the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such ADSs at a stipulated price per share;
•
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
•
any other method permitted by applicable law.
The Selling Shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the ADSs owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the ADSs, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of Selling Shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as Selling Shareholders under this prospectus. The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the ADSs in other circumstances, in which case the pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our ADSs or interests therein, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the ADSs in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Shareholders may also sell ADSs short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the ADSs to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to each such broker-dealer or other financial institution of ADSs offered by this prospectus, which ADSs such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Shareholders from the sale of the ADSs offered by them will be the purchase price of the ADSs less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the Selling Shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with its agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of ADSs to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The Selling Shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the ADSs in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
24
The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the ADSs or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act (it being understood that the Selling Shareholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the ADSs may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling Shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the ADSs to be sold, the names of the Selling Shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, 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 ADSs may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the ADSs 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.
We have advised the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of ADSs in the market and to the activities of the Selling Shareholders and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Shareholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the ADSs against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the ADSs offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the Selling Shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the ADSs covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement and (2) the date on which all of the ADSs may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
25
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are incorporated in the Cayman Islands to take advantage of certain benefits associated with being a Cayman Islands exempted company, such as:
•
political and economic stability;
•
an effective judicial system;
•
a favorable tax system;
•
the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and
•
the availability of professional and support services.
However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include, but are not limited to:
•
the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors as compared to the United States; and
•
Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.
Our constituent documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, between us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.
Certain of our operations are conducted in China, and certain of our assets are located in China. Certain of our executive officers are nationals or residents of jurisdictions other than the United States or may have assets located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for a shareholder to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons, or to enforce against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
We have appointed Raymond Stevens as our agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against us under the securities laws of the United States. Travers Thorp Alberga, our legal counsel as to Cayman Islands law, and Zhong Lun Law Firm, our legal counsel as to Chinese law, have advised us, respectively, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands and China, respectively, would:
•
recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; or
•
entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.
Travers Thorp Alberga has informed us that the uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relates to whether a judgment obtained from the United States courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. The courts of the Cayman Islands may not recognize or enforce such judgments against a Cayman Islands company. Because the courts of the Cayman Islands have yet to rule on whether such judgments are penal or punitive in nature, it is uncertain whether they would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. Travers Thorp Alberga have advised us that the United States and the Cayman Islands do not have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts in civil and commercial matters, and although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States, a judgment in personam obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any re-examination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman
26
Islands, provided such judgment:
•
is given by a competent foreign court with jurisdiction to give the judgment;
•
imposes a specific positive obligation on the judgment debtor (such as an obligation to pay a liquidated sum or perform a specified obligation);
•
is final and conclusive;
•
is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; and
•
was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.
Zhong Lun Law Firm has further advised us that the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments are provided for under the PRC Civil Procedures Law. Chinese courts may recognize and enforce foreign judgments in accordance with the requirements of the PRC Civil Procedures Law based either on treaties between China and the country where the judgment is made or on principles of reciprocity between jurisdictions. China does not have any treaties or other form of reciprocity with the United States or the Cayman Islands that provide for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. In addition, according to the PRC Civil Procedures Law, courts in China will not enforce a foreign judgment against us or our directors and officers if they decide that the judgment violates the basic principles of Chinese law or national sovereignty, security or social public interest. As a result, it is uncertain whether and on what basis a Chinese court would enforce a judgment rendered by a court in the United States or in the Cayman Islands. Under the PRC Civil Procedures Law, foreign shareholders may originate actions based on Chinese law against a company in China for disputes if they can establish sufficient nexus to China for a Chinese court to have jurisdiction, and meet other procedural requirements, including, among others, the plaintiff must have a direct interest in the case, and there must be a concrete claim, a factual basis and a cause for the suit. However, it would be difficult for foreign shareholders to establish sufficient nexus to China by virtue only of holding our ADSs or Ordinary Shares.
In addition, it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders to originate actions against us in China in accordance with Chinese laws because we are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and it will be difficult for U.S. shareholders, by virtue only of holding our ADSs or Ordinary Shares, to establish a connection to China for a Chinese court to have jurisdiction as required under the PRC Civil Procedures Law.

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth the costs and expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by us in connection with the sale of the securities being registered. All amounts are estimates except for the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) registration fee.
ITEM | | | AMOUNT PAID OR TO BE PAID | | |||
SEC registration fee | | | | $ | 55,000 | | |
Legal fees and expenses | | | | | 300,000 | | |
Accounting fees and expenses | | | | | 55,000 | | |
Other miscellaneous fees and expenses | | | | | 65,000 | | |
Total | | | | | 475,000 | | |
Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers (each an indemnified person) against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or sustained by such indemnified person, other than by reason of such person’s own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of our company’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of his duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such indemnified person in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning our company or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our current directors and executive officers, pursuant to which we agreed to indemnify our directors and executive officers against certain liabilities and expenses incurred by such persons in connection with claims made by reason of their being such a director or officer.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have 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.

Pursuant to Item 601(b)(10)(iv) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, certain portions of this exhibit have been redacted because they are both not material and is the type that the Registrant treats as private or confidential. The Registrant hereby agrees to furnish supplementally to the SEC, upon its request, an unredacted copy of this exhibit.
(b) Financial Statement Schedules.
Schedules not listed above have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
(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,
II-6
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above 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 this registration statement or are contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(b)
The registrant hereby undertakes 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.
(c)
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 advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment 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 of 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.
