Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Georgia Business Corporation Code permits a corporation to
eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or
its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of duty of care or other duty
as a director, provided that no provisions shall eliminate or limit the
liability of a director: (A) for any appropriation, in violation of his duties,
of any business opportunity of the corporation; (B) for acts or omissions which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (C) for unlawful
corporate distributions; or (D) for any transaction from which the director
received an improper personal benefit. This provision pertains only to breaches
of duty by directors in their capacity as directors (and not in any other
corporate capacity, such as officers) and limits liability only for breaches of
fiduciary duties under Georgia corporate law (and not for violation of other
laws, such as the Federal securities laws).
Pursuant to The Plastic Surgery Company's Amended and Restated Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws, officers and directors shall be indemnified by The
Plastic Surgery Company to the fullest extent allowed under Georgia law for
claims brought against them in their capacities as officers and directors.
Indemnification is not allowed if the officer or director does not act in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
company, or if the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful. Accordingly, indemnification may occur for liabilities
arising under the Securities Act.
2
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted for directors, officers and controlling persons of The
Plastic Surgery Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we
have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
We have purchased insurance on behalf of our directors and officers
against certain liabilities that may be asserted against, or incurred by, such
persons in their capacities as directors and officers of the registrant, or that
may arise out of their status as directors or officers of the registrant,
including liabilities under federal and state securities laws.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
See Exhibit Index on page 6.
Item 9. Undertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "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 form the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 20% 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, 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.
3
(4) That for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 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
of that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
