Warrant to Purchase              Shares of Common Stock  

Series B-3 Units consisting of One Pre-Funded Series B-3 Warrant to
Purchase One Share of Common Stock and One Series A-3 Warrant to

We are offering on a “best-efforts” basis         Series A-3 units (the “Series A-3 Units”), with each Series A-3 Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one Series A-3 Warrant to purchase        shares of common stock (the “Series A-3 Warrants”). 

We are also offering to those purchasers whose purchase of Series A-3 Units in this offering would result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 9.99% of our outstanding common stock following the consummation of this offering, in lieu of Series A-3 Units that would otherwise result in ownership in excess of 9.99% of our outstanding common stock,              Series B-3 units (the “Series B-3 Units,” and together with the “Series A-3 Units”, the “Units”), with each Series B-3 Unit consisting of (i) one pre-funded Series B-3 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock (the “Series B-3 Warrants,” and together with the Series A-3 Warrants, the “Warrants”) and (ii) one Series A-3 Warrant. 

Each Unit will be sold at a price of $        per Unit. The Units will not be issued or certificated. The shares of common stock, Series A-3 Warrants and Series B-3 Warrants will all be immediately separable and issued separately, but will be purchased together in this offering. This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. 

The Warrants will be exercisable at any time on or after the issuance date until the five-year anniversary of the issuance date. Each Series A-3 Warrant will be exercisable at a price of $        per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. Each Series B-3 Warrant will have an aggregate exercise price of $        per share of our common stock, all of which will be pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. 

For a more detailed description of our common stock, Series A-3 Warrants and Series B-3 Warrants, see the section entitled “Description of the Securities We are Offering” beginning on page S-20 of this prospectus supplement. 

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “HMNY”. The last reported trading price of our common stock on July 9, 2018 was $0.192 per share. There is no public trading market for the Warrants, we do not expect a market to develop, and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased under this prospectus supplement. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange, or any nationally recognized trading system. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, and the liquidity of the Warrants. 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-10 of this prospectus supplement and page 7 of the accompanying prospectus.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

 

OUR BUSINESS

 

This is only a summary and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read both this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any other offering materials, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information”.

 

About Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.

 

Overview

 

We provide high quality information technology, or IT, services and solutions including a range of technology platforms focusing on big data, business intelligence, and consumer-centric technology.  More recently, to provide greater value to stockholders, we have sought to expand our business primarily through acquisitions that leverage our capabilities and expertise.

 

On November 9, 2016, we acquired Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”), a state-of-the-art mapping and spatial analysis company, and on December 11, 2017, we acquired a majority interest in MoviePass Inc. (“MoviePass”), whose primary product offering is MoviePass™, the nation’s premier movie theater subscription service. Since December 2017, we have acquired additional shares of MoviePass common stock and as of the date of this prospectus supplement, we own approximately 91.8% of MoviePass’ outstanding common stock (excluding shares underlying MoviePass options and warrants).

 

MoviePass Ventures, LLC (“MoviePass Ventures”) was formed as a Delaware limited liability company in January 2018 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. MoviePass Ventures aims to collaborate with film distributors to share in film revenues while using the data analytics MoviePass offers for marketing and targeting services for MoviePass’ paying subscribers using the platform.

 

On April 4, 2018, we acquired Moviefone assets from Oath Inc. (formerly, AOL Inc.), an entertainment service owned by Oath Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Verizon Communications Inc. Moviefone provides over 6 million monthly unique visitors full access to the entertainment ecosystem, from movie theaters to streaming content.

 

On May 30, 2018 we formed MoviePass Films LLC (“MoviePass Films”) with Emmett Furla Oasis Films (“EFO Films”). Helios owns 51% and EFO Films owns 49% of MoviePass Films. MoviePass Films focuses on studio-driven content and new film production for theatrical release and other distribution channels.  We plan to capitalize on the capabilities of MoviePass to market future MoviePass Films productions to MoviePass subscribers.

 

MoviePass

 

MoviePass was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is the leading movie theater subscription service in the United States that allows members to see a new movie every day in theaters nationwide for a low fixed price. Once they sign up for the MoviePass service online, subscribers are prompted to download the MoviePass application on their smart phones and are then mailed a MoviePass debit card. The MoviePass application shows subscribers the show times of all the movies that are currently showing at the local movie theaters listed in the MoviePass application. Once they have received their MoviePass debit card, subscribers can use the debit card to purchase up to one movie ticket per day at any of the movie theaters listed in the MoviePass application without paying any additional costs.

 

During the four months after MoviePass’ announcement of its $9.95 per month subscription plan in August 2017, MoviePass grew to over 1,000,000 total paying subscribers including those on either its monthly or annual plans. This represents strong growth when compared to other subscription-based companies, such as Spotify, Hulu, ClassPass and Netflix, which achieved 1,000,000 subscribers in over 5, 10, 17 and 39 months, respectively, estimated based on information available publicly from various news and other sources. MoviePass surpassed 1,500,000 paying subscribers in January 2018, 2,000,000 paying subscribers in February 2018 and as of the date of this prospectus, MoviePass has over 3,000,000 paying subscribers.

 

  S- 3  

 

In March 2018, MoviePass announced that, for a limited time, it would offer its annual subscription to new subscribers for $6.95 per month, paid annually and with a one-time processing fee of $6.55.

 

MoviePass is led by Mitch Lowe, its Chief Executive Officer, Sanjay Puri, its Chief Strategy Officer, Bernadette McCabe, its Senior Vice President of Exhibitor Relations, Mike Berkley, Chief Product Officer, Khalid Itum, Vice President of Business Development and Chris Kelly, its Chairman. The Company intends to combine its data and artificial intelligence technology with MoviePass’ technology. With our big data and artificial intelligence platforms and other technologies that we own, we believe we will be able to bring a significant technological advantage to MoviePass.

 

MoviePass Ventures

 

MoviePass Ventures aims to collaborate with film distributors to share in distribution fees while using the data analytics MoviePass offers for marketing and targeting services for MoviePass’ paying subscribers using the platform. MoviePass Ventures has consummated two strategic transactions in films: “American Animals,” which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, and “Gotti,” which premiered at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Through these two transactions, MoviePass Ventures is entitled to participate in revenues from the theatrical window, rentals and other downstream and ancillary revenue streams: subscription-video-on-demand, transactional-video-on-demand, airline, and foreign sales. We expect that these transactions will also result in paid marketing services arrangements for MoviePass. MoviePass Ventures' investments in American Animals and Gotti have garnered international media attention and we believe, continue to bolster MoviePass' brand recognition.

 

Moviefone

 

We believe the Moviefone acquisition will help MoviePass continue to grow its subscriber base and expand its marketing and advertising platform for its studio and brand partners. We also believe Moviefone will allow us and MoviePass to provide relevant and appealing content to moviegoers while simultaneously increasing the value of the Moviefone brand.

 

MoviePass and MoviePass Ventures Market Opportunity

 

Movie going is embedded in American society and enjoyed by people of all races, ages and socio-economic levels. The 2016 Theatrical Market Statistics Report issued by the Motion Picture Association of America (the “MPAA Report”) reports that more than three quarters (76%) of the U.S./Canada population aged two or older, or 263 million people, went to a movie at the cinema at least once in 2017. According to the MPAA Report, the typical moviegoer bought 4.7 tickets per year in 2017, for a total of $1.24 billion in tickets sold in 2017. Moreover, according to the MPAA Report, 12% of the U.S./Canada population are frequent moviegoers who attend the cinema once a month or more. These individuals are responsible for 49% of all tickets sold. More than half the population are occasional moviegoers (53%), who are also responsible for 49% of all tickets. In 2017, 24% of the U.S./Canada population did not attend the cinema.

 

MoviePass intends to encourage increased attendance at movie theaters with the subscription model by targeting the occasional movie goer (those who attend less than once a month) who represent 82% of the total movie going market.

 

MoviePass’ current buying power at U.S. movie theaters represents approximately 6% of the U.S. box office, with MoviePass buying approximately one in every seventeen tickets in the United States. Its strong subscriber trends and potential for customer engagement drive several revenue opportunities. The value proposition to consumers to obtain low-cost access to regular theater attendance can benefit key constituents and customers of MoviePass’ business: exhibitors, studios, distributors and consumers themselves. Through its continued efforts at targeting and improving the consumer experience, MoviePass aims to maintain its strong subscriber growth and to leverage such growth with its key constituents to improve operational efficiencies, create cross-platform synergies and create multiple growing revenue streams.

 

  S- 4  

 

MoviePass Ventures aims to leverage the Company’s and MoviePass’ ability to increase attendance in movie theaters to improve marketing efforts and work directly with distributors to drive consumers toward particular independent films and to share in the economic performance of such films.

 

Competition

 

MoviePass and MoviePass Ventures

 

The market for filmed entertainment ticketing services is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. MoviePass’ potential competitors include Atom Tickets, MovieTickets.com, Fandango, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s AMC Stubs program, Regal Entertainment Group’s Regal Crown Club and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Movie Club, as well as other potential exhibitors offering their own subscription services or loyalty programs. In addition, Sinemia Inc. offers a movie theater subscription service that functions similarly to MoviePass.

 

AMC Stubs is a loyalty program offered by AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. (“AMC”) with approximately 12.8 million household members. Movie goers can join the loyalty program as either a basic member for free or a premiere member for $15. The basic membership offers free popcorn refills, up to a $5 discount on tickets on Tuesdays, $5 rewards for every 5,000 points (points are earned at a rate of 20 points for every $1 spent), waived online ticket fees for four tickets or more and free popcorn on the member’s birthday. Premiere members receive free upgrades on popcorn and soda, earn 100 points for every $1 spent, waived online ticket fees every time, free popcorn and soda on the member’s birthday, and all the other benefits that come with the basic membership.

 

On June 26, 2018, AMC launched a new VIP tier of its AMC Stubs program called the AMC Stubs A-List, which is a subscription service that allows subscribers to see up to three movies a week for a monthly fee of $19.95. If fewer than three movies are seen in a week, there is no carry over. AMC Stubs A-List members can see films in premium formats, watch multiple movies in the same day or watch films multiple times. The members have all the benefits of the premiere membership as well as express service at the box office and concession stand, no online ticketing fees and 100 points for every $1 spent.

 

Regal Entertainment Group also offers a loyalty program with approximately 14 million active members called the Regal Crown Club. The program only has one membership option and is free to join. Regal Crown Club members earn credits for every $1 they spend on movie tickets and at concession stands. Points can be redeemed for rewards via the use of a physical card or a virtual card with Regal’s mobile app. Rewards include free concession items, merchandise, movie tickets and more. In addition, Regal Entertainment Group is offering $1 admission to family movies this summer from June 19, 2018 to August 22, 2018, which will play on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at participating theaters.

 

On December 5, 2017, Cinemark Holdings Inc. launched Movie Club. Movie Club is a monthly subscription plan that allows subscribers to buy one movie ticket a month for a discounted price of $8.99. Members of Movie Club can roll over unused tickets from month to month and receive a 20% discount on items bought at concession stands. Movie Club membership is only valid at Cinemark theaters.

 

Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass does. Some of these competitors have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing and website and systems development than MoviePass does. In addition, MoviePass’ competitors may form or extend strategic alliances with studios, exhibitors and distributors that could affect adversely MoviePass’ ability to compete on favorable terms.

 

As a new entrant into film distribution, MoviePass Ventures will have competitors with longer operating histories in the distribution of independent films, deeper ties with industry executives and film producers, and greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass Ventures. MoviePass Ventures will also face competition from larger film distributors which focus on higher budget film production and distribution.

MoviePass Intellectual Property

 

MoviePass uses a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to protect its proprietary intellectual property. MoviePass has a registered trademark for the MoviePass name. MoviePass owns U.S. Patent Nos. 8,484,133, 8,612,235, and 9,135,578. MoviePass has filed applications for additional trademarks and two patents. MoviePass’ outstanding trademark and patent applications may not be allowed. Even if these applications are allowed, they may not provide MoviePass with a competitive advantage. Competitors may challenge successfully the validity and scope of MoviePass’ patents and trademark(s). MoviePass’ trademark(s), trademark applications, patents, and patent applications may not provide MoviePass with a competitive advantage. To date, MoviePass has relied primarily on proprietary processes and know-how to protect its intellectual property related to its Web site, mobile application and fulfillment processes.

 

From time to time, MoviePass may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. MoviePass believes that its service offering does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. However, it cannot assure you that MoviePass will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

MoviePass/Fandor/Costco Subscription Offer

 

On December 12, 2017, MoviePass and Fandor, the streaming service with the largest collection of independent films, documentaries, international features and shorts, announced that both companies partnered with Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”) to offer a one-year subscription plan for a flat fee of $70.00 paid in advance. The subscription plan for both services was made available exclusively to Costco members for a limited time and covers a year of membership for both MoviePass and Fandor. The subscription plan was extended through February 2018.

 

MoviePass/Fandor

 

In February 2018, MoviePass and Fandor launched a limited-time annual subscription plan to allow movie-goers to see a new movie in a movie theater every day for a year, and have access to the full Fandor content library for a year, for a flat fee of $105.35 paid in advance ($7.95 per month plus a one-time $19.95 processing fee less $10.00 of revenue share with Fandor).

 

Zone Spin-Off

 

In March 2018, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a plan to spin-off Zone, our wholly-owned subsidiary. Following the spin-off, Zone would become an independent publicly traded company that we would expect to also be listed on Nasdaq. The spin-off is subject to numerous conditions, including, the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the approved listing of Zone’s common stock on Nasdaq.

 

Pursuant to the spin-off, we plan to distribute shares of Zone common stock as a dividend to persons who hold our common stock as of a record date to be determined. We expect to set a record date to determine the stockholders entitled to receive shares of Zone in the spin-off for approximately 20 to 40 days before the effective date of the spin-off. Holders of any of our convertible notes and warrants outstanding as of the applicable record date may be entitled to participate in the dividend of Zone shares in the spin-off in accordance with the terms of such notes and warrants. The strategic goal of the spin-off is to create two separate companies, each of which can focus on its own strengths and operational plans and be publicly traded. There is no assurance that we will be able to complete the spin-off, and our Board of Directors may at any time decide not to proceed with the spin-off. 

 

  S- 6  

 

Financial Update

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $13.7 million in available cash and approximately $32.2 million on deposit with our merchant and fulfillment processors for a total of approximately $45.9 million. The funds held by these processors represent a portion of the payments received for annual and other extended term MoviePass subscription plans and future ticket fulfillment, which we classify as current assets on our balance sheet and which we expect to be disbursed to us or utilized during 2018. 

 

As of July 10, 2018, there was $0.8 million of unrestricted principal owed under the convertible notes we issued in November 2017, under the January 2018 notes there is no unrestricted principal outstanding and there is $ 20.2 million of unrestricted principal owed under the convertible notes we issued in June 2018. We also owe $1.7 million in interest and certain make-whole obligations under such notes.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Please see the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider these risks as well as other information we include or incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. These risks could materially affect our business, results of operations or financial condition and cause the value of our securities to decline.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our Common Stock and Warrants

 

The proceeds from this offering, along with our cash and cash equivalents, may not be sufficient to fund our operations for the near future and we may not be able to obtain additional financing.

 

As of June 30, 2018, we had approximately $13.7 million in available cash and approximately $32.2 million on deposit with our merchant and fulfillment processors for a total of approximately $45.9 million. The funds held by these processors represent a portion of the payments received for annual and other extended term MoviePass subscription plans and future ticket fulfillment, which we classify as current assets on our balance sheet and which we expect to be disbursed to us or utilized during 2018. Our average monthly cash deficit has been approximately $26.9 million per month from September 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018 inclusive of our processor deposits. Due to our greater than anticipated subscriber growth in June 2018, our cash deficit for the month of June 2018 is expected to be approximately $45.0 million and we anticipate our cash deficit for the month of July 2018 will be at least $45.0 million due to significant subscriber growth, increased theater attendance during the summer months and strong box office results of recently released films. As the MoviePass subscriber base increases rapidly, and as we increase our investments in movies through MoviePass Ventures and MoviePass Films, and make other acquisitions, our monthly cash deficit will continue to increase in the coming months.

 

The anticipated proceeds from this offering, along with our cash and cash equivalents, may not be sufficient to fund our operations for the near future and we may not be able to obtain additional financing. We will continue to require significant proceeds from sales of our debt or equity securities, including common stock pursuant to our ATM Offering, among other sources of capital. Furthermore, to the extent we use any net proceeds from sales of our securities for acquisitions of other businesses or financial interests in additional movies (through our subsidiaries, MoviePass Ventures or MoviePass Films), we will need additional capital to offset our monthly cash deficit to the extent resulting from those further investments.

 

Our access to additional equity capital will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain the requisite stockholder approval at a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), as described in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on July 5, 2018, to increase our authorized common stock, to effect a reverse stock split and to issue shares of common stock pursuant to the convertible notes we issued to an institutional investor in January 2018 (the “Special Meeting Proposals”). As of July 10, 2018, we had 268,749,677 shares outstanding out of our currently authorized 500,000,000 shares of common stock. If we are unable to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of the Special Meeting Proposals, our access to additional equity capital, including through our ATM Offering, will be significantly diminished, until or unless we are able to obtain such approval. In that case, we would be reliant on seeking non-convertible debt capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or voluntary prepayments from our institutional investors under the investor notes payable to us that we hold totaling $226 million in aggregate principal amount.

 

If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned growth or otherwise alter our business model, objectives and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

 

  S- 10  

 

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over our financial reporting could materially adversely affect us.

 

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to include in our annual reports on Form 10-K an assessment by management of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management assessed our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. Based on such assessment, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2017 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The material weakness we have identified is as follows:

 

  Due to the significant number of transactions that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2017 including, but not limited to, the acquisition of MoviePass and the related financing arrangements, it was determined that we had inadequate monitoring controls in place related to our financial reporting, debt and equity related transactions and other management oversight procedures due to the lack of sufficient accounting resources to complete an effective review of the various complex and significant transactions.

 

The MoviePass acquisition on December 11, 2017 and the post-acquisition integration related activities represents a material change in our internal control over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the acquisition on our internal control over financial reporting as well as the necessary controls and procedures to be implemented.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, if we do not remedy the current material weakness or if we identify additional material weaknesses in our internal controls, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC, or other regulatory authorities.

 

Our common stock may be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market if we do not obtain the requisite stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split.

 

On June 21, 2018, we received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that, for the prior thirty consecutive business days, the closing bid price for our common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we have been given 180 calendar days, or until December 18, 2018 to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If we are not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 18, 2018, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In addition, we would be required to notify Nasdaq of our intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, which may include, if necessary implementing a reverse stock split.

 

To regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, we filed with the SEC, a proxy statement for a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), which includes a proposal to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a one-time reverse stock split of common stock at a ratio of 1 share-for-2 shares up to a ratio of 1 share-for-250 shares, which ratio will be selected by our Board of Directors. If we choose to implement a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to December 18, 2018. There can be no assurance that our stockholders will approve the reverse split proposal or that the reverse split will result in a sustained increase in the per share market price for the common stock so we can regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

  S- 11  

 

If we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 18, 2018 and we are not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the staff will provide written notification to us that our common stock may be delisted. At that time, we may appeal the staff’s decision to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). We would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if we do appeal a subsequent delisting determination by the staff to the Panel, that such an appeal would be successful.

 

If we are not able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, our common stock could be traded on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board. In such event, it would become more difficult to dispose of, or obtain accurate price quotations for, our common stock, and there would likely be a reduction in our coverage by security analysts and the news media, which could cause the price of our common stock to decline further. Additionally, the sale or purchase of our common stock would likely be made more difficult and the trading volume and liquidity of our common stock would likely decline. A delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market would also result in negative publicly and would negatively impact our ability to raise capital in the future.

 

The sale of a substantial amount of our common stock in the public market and the issuance of shares reserved for issuance to consultants and upon conversion of convertible instruments could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common stock.

 

As of July 10, 2018 we had 268,749,677 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and the closing sale price of our common stock on July 9, 2018 was $0.192.

 

The issuances of convertible notes in December, 2016, February, 2017, August, 2017, November 2017, January, 2018 and June, 2018 (collectively, the “Notes”) and the subsequent transactions, resulted in a high volume of activity for our securities. We may engage in similar transactions, which transactions may include registration rights. The registration of such additional securities and the potential for high volume trades of our common stock in connection with these financings may have a downward effect on our market price. In addition, in connection with the Notes, we issued five-year warrants to a financial advisor, of which 1,610,399 are currently exercisable. Future issuance of our common stock upon exercise of these warrants may have a further negative impact on our stock price.

 

Further, as a result of the issuance of additional convertible notes on each of November 7, 2017, January 23, 2018, and June 26, 2018 371,977,504 shares of our common stock may be issuable upon conversion of outstanding debt. We have repaid in cash unrestricted principal in the amounts of $20,650,000 and $25,000,000 under the November 7, 2017 and the January 23, 2018 convertible notes, respectively, as a result $0.8 million of unrestricted principal remains outstanding under those convertible notes as of the date of this prospectus supplement. As of July 10, 2018, $20.2 million of unrestricted principal is outstanding under the convertible note issued on June 26, 2018. As such, 139,000,000 of the shares noted above represent shares issuable upon conversion of restricted principal under such convertible debt for which an equivalent amount owed to us under the applicable notes has not yet been paid. Such restricted principal may not, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, be converted into any shares of our common stock. However, if holders of these notes provide additional payments to us under these notes, these shares will no longer constitute restricted principal and may be issuable by us to the holders.

 

Finally, as of July 10, 2018, we have reserved for issuance, but not yet issued, a substantial amount of additional shares that are included in “Summary – The Offering – Common stock outstanding after the offering.” The issuance of shares we are obligated to issue, the issuance of shares we may issue in connection with conversion or exercise of our outstanding convertible instruments and shares we may issue in the ATM Offering may result in a higher volume trading of our securities, which may increase dilution of existing investors and further depress the market price of our common stock, which may negatively affect our stockholders’ equity and our ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to us in the future.

 

  S- 12  

 

The price of our common stock has been volatile, and the market price of our common stock may decrease.

 

The per share price of our common stock has been volatile. Since January 1, 2017 the per share closing price of our common stock has been as low as $0.180 on July 6, 2018 and as high as $32.90 on October 11, 2017. The factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include, but are not limited to:

 

  our ability to derive financial benefits from our ownership stake in MoviePass;

 

  the ability of MoviePass to become cash flow positive or profitable;

 

  the ability of MoviePass Ventures to enter into economic arrangements with film distributors and derive economic benefits from such arrangements;

 

  our ability to recruit and retain qualified IT personnel;

 

  changes in the perception of investors and securities analysts regarding the risks to our business or the condition of our business;

 

  changes in our relationships with key clients;

 

  changes in the market valuation or earnings of our competitors or companies viewed as similar to us;

 

  changes in key personnel;

 

  changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;

 

  the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other equity awards; and

 

  general market and economic conditions.

 

In addition, the equity markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the securities of technology companies for a number of reasons, including reasons that may be unrelated to our business or operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may result in a material decline in the market price of our common stock and you may not be able to sell your shares at prices you deem acceptable. In the past, following periods of volatility in the equity markets, securities class action lawsuits have been instituted against public companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial cost and the diversion of management attention.

 

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 book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the securities you purchase in this offering. See the section titled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common stock in this offering.

 

There is no public market for the Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock being offered in this offering.

 

There is no public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system, including The Nasdaq Capital Market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited, and you may not be able to resell your Warrants. If your Warrants cannot be resold, you will have to depend upon any appreciation in the value of our common stock over the exercise price of the Warrants in order to realize a return on your investment in the Warrants.

 

  S- 13  

 

If stockholders do not approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized common stock or to effect a reverse stock split, the Series A-3 Warrants will not be exercisable.

 

The Series A-3 Warrants will not be exercisable until stockholders approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized common stock or to effect a reverse stock split. Although we have filed with the SEC a proxy statement for the Special Meeting which includes proposals to increase our authorized common stock and to effect a reverse stock split, there can be no assurance that these proposals will be approved. If either the increase in authorized shares of common stock or reverse stock split proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting, the Series A-3 Warrants will not be exercisable until stockholders approve one of these proposals at a future meeting.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants, holders of our Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common stock.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants, holders of our Warrants will not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such holders exercise their Warrants and acquire our common stock. As a result, absent exercise of the Warrants, holders of the Warrants will not have the ability to vote their shares underlying the Warrants, which may limit the influence that investors in our offering may have over the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for a vote.

 

Because our management will have broad discretion and flexibility in how the net proceeds from this offering are used, we may use the net proceeds in ways in which you disagree.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries; to satisfy a portion or all of the amounts payable in connection with the convertible notes issued on November 7, 2017, January 23, 2018, and June 26, 2018 to the extent that they remain outstanding; and for transaction expenses including underwriter compensation. We have not allocated specific amounts of the net proceeds from this offering for any of the foregoing purposes other than transaction expenses. Accordingly, our management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

 

This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis.

 

The underwriters are offering the Series A-3 Units and Series B-3 Units on a “best efforts” basis, and the underwriters are under no obligation to purchase any Series A-3 Units or Series B-3 Units for their own account. The underwriters are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities in this offering but will use their best efforts to sell the securities offered in this prospectus supplement. As a “best efforts” offering, there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated.

 

  S- 14  

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate the net proceeds to us from the sale of the Units offered hereby, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $               million.

 

We may use the net proceeds from the sale of Units offered by us under this prospectus for general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and transaction expenses.

 

Palladium Capital Advisors, LLC acted as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the offering and will receive a financial advisory fee of $               from the proceeds.

 

In order to fund our operations for the foreseeable future, we will require additional capital exceeding our cash on hand even after giving effect to the net proceeds from this offering. In addition, actual costs and expenditures may exceed management's current expectations. It is unlikely that we will generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet our business objectives. Accordingly, we will need to raise additional capital in the future over and above the net proceeds from this offering.

 

The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and our management will have significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds of this offering. Until the funds are used as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing instruments or other investment-grade securities.

There is no guarantee that our Board of Directors will declare dividends in the future.

DILUTION

 

A purchaser of Units in this offering will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per Unit 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 March 31, 2018 was approximately $(109.2) million, or $(2.20) per share. After giving effect to the sale by us of 10,500,000 Series A-2 Units and 500,000 Series B-2 Units under the April 2018 Offering at the public offering price of $2.75 per unit (which per unit price assumes the exercise of all pre-funded Series B-2 Warrants offered in the April 2018 Offering for $0.001 per share), and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2018 would have been approximately $(81.6) million, or $(1.35) per share.

 

After giving effect to the sale by us of             Series A-3 Units and               Series B-3 Units at the public offering price of $                per Unit (which per Unit price assumes the exercise of all pre-funded Series B-3 Warrants being offered in this offering for $0.001 per share), and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2018 would have been approximately $         million, or $         per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $          per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $            per share to new investors of Units in this offering. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to investors of Units in this offering:

 

Public offering price per Unit for this offering   $     $  
Historical net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2018   $ (2.20 )        
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share after the April 2018 Offering   $ 0.85          
Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2018 after the April 2018 Offering   $ 1.35          
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per share after this offering   $          
As adjusted pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2018, after giving effect to this offering           $    
Dilution per share to new investors           $    

 

The foregoing table does not take into account further dilution to new investors that could occur upon the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units and warrants having a per share exercise price less than the per Unit offering price to the public in this offering.

 

For purposes of calculating pro forma net tangible book value, the above table is based on 49,613,144 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018, and does not include the shares issued or issuable as disclosed above under “Capitalization.”

Warrants

 

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Warrants included in the Units we are offering and is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the Warrants.

 

Series A-3 Warrants

 

Form. The Series A-3 Warrants will be issued as individual warrant agreements issued to purchasers.

 

Amount. Each purchaser of a Series A-3 Unit will receive a Series A-3 Warrant exercisable into one share of common stock for each share of common stock included in the Series A-3 Unit.

 

Exercisability. The Series A-3 Warrants will not be exercisable until stockholders approve an amendment to our certificate of incorporation to increase our authorized common stock or to effect a reverse stock split, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of issuance. The Series A-3 Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and, by payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of shares of common stock purchased upon such exercise. The holder may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise the Series A-3 Warrant through a cashless exercise if a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the warrant shares is not available for the issuance or resale of such warrant shares, in which case the holder would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the Series A-3 Warrant.

  

Exercise Limitation. A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Series A-3 Warrant if the holder (together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group within such holder) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, if selected by the purchaser, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Series A-3 Warrants. However, any holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per whole share of common stock purchasable upon exercise of the Series A-3 Warrants is $ per share of common stock. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders.

 

  S- 20  

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Series A-3 Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Exchange Listing. We do not plan on applying to list the Series A-3 Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

 

Adjustment. The Series A-3 Warrants also include “full ratchet” anti-dilution protection provisions (the “Full Ratchet Adjustment”), which provide that if we issue any shares of common stock at a price less than the then current exercise price of the Series A-3 Warrants, or if we issue any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, shares of common stock with an exercise or conversion price less than the then current exercise price of the Series A-3 Warrants, then the exercise price of the Series A-3 Warrants will automatically be reduced to the issuance price of the new shares of common stock or the exercise or conversion price of the warrants, options or other convertible or exchangeable securities.

 

The Full Ratchet Adjustment does not apply if we issue “Excluded Securities”, including certain (i) option and other equity incentive awards approved by our board of directors to be issued to directors, officers, consultants and employees, (ii) shares of common stock issued upon conversion or exercise of convertible securities that were issued before the date of this prospectus supplement, (iii) shares issued upon conversion of the Senior Secured Bridge Convertible Notes we issued on June 26, 2018 (the “June Notes”), (iv) shares, options, or convertible securities issued upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities held by certain holders of the June Notes, (v) up to 13,500,000 shares that we may issue to securities holders of MoviePass in a merger or business combination between the Company and MoviePass, (vi) shares of common stock issued under the ATM Offering, and (vii) 500,000 shares granted by our board of directors to Helios & Matheson Information Technology Ltd, a current stockholder of the Company, in exchange for its entry into a 12-month lock-up agreement with us.

 

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Series A-3 Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our common stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding common stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding common stock, the holders of the Series A-3 Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Series A-3 Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Series A-3 Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Series A-3 Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Series A-3 Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Series A-3 Warrant.

 

Waivers and Amendments . The terms of a Series A-3 Warrant may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and the holders of 45% of the then outstanding Series A-3 Warrants.

  

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Series A-3 Warrants. The Series A-3 Warrants do not confer upon holders any voting or other rights as stockholders of the Company.

 

Series B-3 Warrants

 

The pre-funded Series B-3 Warrants will have an aggregate exercise price of $            per share of our common stock, all of which will be pre-funded except for a nominal exercise price of $0.001 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment. They will be immediately exercisable, and will expire on the five-year anniversary of issuance. The holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Series B-3 Warrant if the holder, together with its affiliates, would, subject to certain limited exceptions, beneficially own in excess of 9.99% of our common stock outstanding immediately after the exercise. The Series B-3 Warrants include customary adjustment provisions that are substantially similar to the ones contained in the Series A-3 Warrants, provided that the Series B-3 Warrants will not be subject to the Full Ratchet Adjustment.

OUR BUSINESS

 

This is only a summary and may not contain all the information that is important to you. You should carefully read both this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement and any other offering materials, together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information”.

 

About Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.

 

Overview

 

We provide information technology services and solutions including a range of technology platforms focusing on big data, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, social listening, and consumer-centric technology. More recently, to provide greater value to our stockholders, we have sought to expand our business primarily through acquisitions that leverage our capabilities and expertise.

 

On November 9, 2016, we acquired Zone Technologies, Inc. (“Zone”), a state-of-the-art mapping and spatial analysis company, and on December 11, 2017 we acquired a majority interest in MoviePass, the nation’s premier movie theater subscription service.

 

MoviePass

 

MoviePass was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is a movie theater subscription service that allows members to see a new movie every day in theaters nationwide for a monthly price of $9.95. Once they sign up for the MoviePass service online, subscribers are prompted to download the MoviePass application on their smart phones and are then mailed a MoviePass debit card. The MoviePass application shows subscribers the show times of all the movies that are currently showing at their local movie theaters. Once they have received their MoviePass debit card, subscribers can use the debit card to purchase up to one movie ticket per day at any of the movie theaters listed in the MoviePass application without paying any additional costs. During the four months after MoviePass’ announcement of its $9.95 monthly subscription plan in August 2017, MoviePass grew to over 1,000,000 total subscribers including those on either its monthly or annual plans. This represents strong growth when compared to other subscription-based companies, such as Spotify, Hulu, ClassPass and Netflix, which achieved 1,000,000 subscribers in over 5, 10, 17 and 39 months, respectively, estimated based on information available publicly from various news and other sources. MoviePass surpassed 1,500,000 subscribers in January 2018.

 

MoviePass is led by Mitch Lowe, its Chief Executive Officer, Stacy Spikes, its co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Sanjay Puri, its Chief Strategy Officer, and Chris Kelly, its Chairman. The Company intends to strengthen our management team and combine its data and artificial intelligence technology with MoviePass’ technology. With our big data and artificial intelligence platforms and other technologies that we own, we believe we will be able to bring a significant technological advantage to MoviePass.

 

MoviePass Market Opportunity

 

Movie going is embedded in American society and enjoyed by people of all races, ages and socio-economic levels. As noted below, the 2016 Theatrical Market Statistics Report issued by the Motion Picture Association of America reports an annual average of 246 million movie goers in North America spending $11.4 billion on tickets annually. MoviePass intends to encourage increased attendance at movie theaters with the subscription model by targeting the casual movie goer (those who attend less than once a month) who represent 85% of the total movie going market. MoviePass conducted a study in two test markets using data on movie goers before subscribing to MoviePass and data for movie goers in the first year after having MoviePass. The results from the study demonstrate that MoviePass drove a 100% and 123% lift in movie attendance in each of these markets.

MoviePass Competition

 

The market for filmed entertainment ticketing services is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. MoviePass’ potential competitors include Atom Tickets, MovieTickets.com, Fandango, AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s AMC Stubs program, Regal Entertainment Group’s Regal Crown Club and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Movie Club, as well as other potential exhibitors offering their own subscription services or loyalty programs.

 

AMC Stubs is a loyalty program offered by AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. with approximately 10.8 million household members. Movie goers can join the loyalty program as either a basic member for free or a premiere member for $15. The basic membership offers free popcorn refills, up to a $2 discount on tickets on Tuesdays, $5 rewards for every 5,000 points (points are earned at a rate of 20 points for every $1 spent), waived online ticket fees and free popcorn on the member’s birthday. Premiere members receive a $5 discount on tickets on Tuesdays, earn 100 points for every $1 spent and all the other benefits that come with the basic membership.

 

Regal Entertainment Group also offers a loyalty program with approximately 14 million active members called the Regal Crown Club. The program only has one membership option and is free to join. Regal Crown Club members earn credits for every $1 they spend on movie tickets and at concession stands. Points can be redeemed for rewards via the use of a physical card or a virtual card with Regal’s mobile app. Rewards include free concession items, merchandise, movie tickets and more.

 

On December 5, 2017, Cinemark Holdings Inc. launched Movie Club. Movie Club is a monthly subscription plan that allows subscribers to buy one movie ticket a month for a discounted price of $8.99. Members of Movie Club can roll over unused tickets from month to month and receive a 20% discount on items bought at concession stands. Movie Club membership is only valid at Cinemark theaters.

 

Many of these competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than MoviePass does. Some of these competitors have adopted, and may continue to adopt, aggressive pricing policies and devote substantially more resources to marketing and website and systems development than MoviePass does. In addition, MoviePass’ competitors may form or extend strategic alliances with studios, exhibitors and distributors that could affect adversely MoviePass’ ability to compete on favorable terms.

MoviePass Intellectual Property

 

MoviePass uses a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws and confidentiality agreements to protect its proprietary intellectual property. MoviePass has a registered trademark for the MoviePass name. MoviePass owns U.S. Patent Nos. 8,484,133, 8,612,235, and 9,135,578. MoviePass has filed applications for additional trademarks and patents. MoviePass’ outstanding trademark and patent applications may not be allowed. Competitors may challenge successfully the validity and scope of MoviePass’ patents and trademark(s). MoviePass’ trademark(s), trademark applications, patents, and patent applications may not provide MoviePass with a competitive advantage. To date, MoviePass has relied primarily on proprietary processes and know-how to protect its intellectual property related to its Web site, mobile application and fulfillment processes.

 

From time to time, MoviePass may encounter disputes over rights and obligations concerning intellectual property. MoviePass believes that its service offering does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party. However, it cannot assure you that MoviePass will prevail in any intellectual property dispute.

 

MoviePass/Fandor/Costco Subscription Offer

 

On December 12, 2017, MoviePass and Fandor, the streaming service with the largest collection of independent films, documentaries, international features and shorts; announced that both companies have partnered with Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”) to offer a one-year subscription plan for a flat fee of $89.99. The subscription plan for both services was made available exclusively to Costco members for a limited time and covers a year of membership for both MoviePass and Fandor. The subscription plan was recently extended through February 2018.

Description of Units

 

We may, from time to time, issue units comprised of one or more of the other securities described in this prospectus in any combination. A prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the units offered under that prospectus supplement, and any special considerations applicable to investing in those units. You must look at the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable unit agreement for a full understanding of the specific terms of any units. We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer in the future under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement and incorporated documents. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below.

 

General

 

We may issue units consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, subscription rights or any combination thereof. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement and any incorporated documents the terms of the series of units, including the following:

 

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

any unit agreement under which the units will be issued; and

 

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Stock,” “Description of Preferred Stock,” and “Description of Warrants” will apply to each unit and to any common stock, preferred stock, or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

  9  

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

 

Each unit agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

Title

 

We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

 

Description of Subscription Rights

 

We may issue subscription rights to purchase common stock, preferred stock, or other securities. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered hereby and may or may not be transferable by the stockholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of subscription rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

 

the price, if any, for the subscription rights;

 

the exercise price payable for each share of common stock, preferred stock, or other securities upon the exercise of the subscription rights;

if applicable, the material terms of any standby underwriting or purchase arrangement entered into by us in connection with the offering of subscription rights.

 

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription rights certificate, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Delaware Law and Our Charter Documents

 

The following is a summary of our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws. Our certificate of incorporation states that we expressly elect not to be governed by Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

Our charter documents include provisions that may have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control or an unsolicited acquisition proposal that a stockholder might consider favorable, including a proposal that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders.  These provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs.

 

Effects of authorized but unissued common stock and blank check preferred stock. One of the effects of the existence of authorized but unissued common stock and undesignated preferred stock may be to enable our board of directors to make more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of management. If, in the due exercise of its fiduciary obligations, the board of directors were to determine that a takeover proposal was not in our best interest, such shares could be issued by the board of directors without stockholder approval in one or more transactions that might prevent or render more difficult or costly the completion of the takeover transaction by diluting the voting or other rights of the proposed acquirer or insurgent stockholder group, by putting a substantial voting block in institutional or other hands that might undertake to support the position of the incumbent board of directors, by effecting an acquisition that might complicate or preclude the takeover, or otherwise.

 

In addition, our certificate of incorporation grants our board of directors broad power to establish the rights and preferences of authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock could decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to holders of shares of common stock. The issuance also may adversely affect the rights and powers, including voting rights, of those holders and may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company.

 

Cumulative Voting.   Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors which would allow holders of less than a majority of the stock to elect some directors.

 

Vacancies.  Section 223 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and our bylaws provide that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum.

 

Special Meeting of Stockholders.   A special meeting of stockholders may be called by our board of directors or the Chairman of our board of directors and at the request in writing of holders of record of a majority of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. The requirement that a majority of our outstanding capital stock is required to call a special meeting means that small stockholders will not have the power to call a special meeting to, for example, elect new directors.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

 

  to or through underwriters, brokers or dealers;

 

  directly to one or more other purchasers;

 

  through a block trade in which the broker or dealer engaged to handle the block trade will attempt to sell the securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

  11  

 

  through agents on a best-efforts basis;

 

  in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on the Nasdaq Capital Market or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; or

 

  otherwise through any other method permitted by applicable law or a combination of any of the above methods of sale.

 

In addition, we may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus. We may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

 

  enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares of common stock by underwriters, brokers or dealers;

 

  sell shares of common stock short and deliver the shares to close out short positions;

 

  enter into option or other types of transactions that require the delivery of shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the shares of common stock under this prospectus; or

 

  loan or pledge the shares of common stock to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who may sell the loaned shares or, in the event of default, sell the pledged shares.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

 

Each time we sell securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in the offer and sale of the securities. Any prospectus supplement will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:

 

  the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the securities;

 

  any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation;

 

  any public offering or purchase price and any discounts or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to dealers;

 

  any commissions allowed or paid to agents;

 

  12  

 

  any other offering expenses;

 

  any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed;

 

  the method of distribution of the securities;

 

  the terms of any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into with the underwriters, brokers or dealers; and

 

  any other information we think is important.

 

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time by us in one or more transactions:

 

  at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

  at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

  at prices related to such prevailing market prices;

 

  at varying prices determined at the time of sale; or

 

  at negotiated prices.

 

Such sales may be effected:

 

  in transactions on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

  in transactions in the over-the-counter market;

 

  in block transactions in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, or in crosses, in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade;

 

  through the writing of options; or

 

  through other types of transactions.

 

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable to such agent will be set forth in, the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made by us directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

 

  13  

 

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed for certain expenses.

 

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

 

Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock during and after this offering, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot or otherwise create a short position in the common stock for their own accounts by selling more common stock than have been sold to them by us. The underwriters may elect to cover any such short position by purchasing common stock in the open market or by exercising the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. In addition, the underwriters may stabilize or maintain the price of the common stock by bidding for or purchasing common stock in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers participating in the offering are reclaimed if common stock previously distributed in the offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of the common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of the common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Capital Market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on the Nasdaq Capital Market limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the SEC limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

 

We are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock offered in this prospectus by any person. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of us.

 

The anticipated date of delivery of the securities offered by this prospectus will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the offering.

 

Any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any securities such entity sells pursuant to this prospectus.

 

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