ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf registration statement process, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus, as described herein, in one or more offerings. The selling stockholders may offer to sell, and seek offers to buy, shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions where such offers and sales are permitted.

This prospectus provides a general description of the common stock the selling stockholders may offer. Each time the selling stockholders sell shares of common stock under this shelf registration, we will, to the extent required by law, provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. We may also authorize one or more free writing prospectuses to be provided to you that may contain material information relating to these offerings. Any prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus or in any documents that we have incorporated by reference into this prospectus. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus, you should rely on the information in the prospectus supplement or the related free writing prospectus; provided that if any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date — for example, a document incorporated by reference into this prospectus or any prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus — the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement.

Neither we nor the selling stockholders have authorized any dealer, agent or other person to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or a related authorized free writing prospectus, and we and the selling stockholders take no responsibility for any other information that others may give you. This prospectus and any prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered shares of our common stock to which they relate, nor do this prospectus and any prospectus supplement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. You should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of the document containing the information (as our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since that date), even though this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus is delivered or shares of our common stock are sold on a later date.

As permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part includes additional information not contained in this prospectus. You may read the registration statement and the other documents we file with the SEC at the SEC’s website or at the SEC’s offices described below under the heading “Where You Can Find Additional Information.”

Our Company

CPSI, founded in 1979, is a leading provider of healthcare information technology (“IT”) solutions and services for rural and community hospitals and post-acute care facilities. With our January 2016 acquisition of Healthland Holding Inc. (“HHI”), CPSI is now the parent of five companies – Evident, LLC (“Evident”), TruBridge, LLC (“TruBridge”), Healthland Inc. (“Healthland”), American HealthTech, Inc. (“AHT”), and Rycan Technologies, Inc. (“Rycan”). Our combined companies are focused on helping improve the health of the communities we serve, connecting communities for a better patient care experience, and improving the financial operations of our customers. The individual contributions of each of our five wholly-owned subsidiaries toward this combined focus are as follows:

 

    Evident, formed in April 2015, provides comprehensive electronic health record (EHR) solutions and services for rural and community hospitals, including those solutions previously sold under the CPSI name as well as an expanded range of offerings targeted specifically at rural and community healthcare organizations.

 

    TruBridge focuses exclusively on providing business management, consulting and managed IT services to rural and community healthcare organizations, regardless of their IT vendor.

 

    Healthland, acquired in the acquisition of HHI, provides integrated technology solutions and services to small rural and critical access hospitals.

 

    AHT, acquired in the acquisition of HHI, is one of the nation’s largest providers of financial and clinical technology solutions and services for post-acute care facilities.

 

    Rycan, acquired in the acquisition of HHI, provides revenue cycle management workflow and automation software to hospitals, healthcare systems, and skilled nursing organizations.

The combined company currently supports approximately 1,300 acute care facilities and over 3,300 post-acute care facilities with a geographically diverse customer mix within the domestic rural and community healthcare market.

Recent Developments

HHI Acquisition

On January 8, 2016, we completed the previously-announced acquisition of HHI pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated November 25, 2015, among us, certain of our wholly-owned

subsidiaries, HHI and AHR Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AHR”), solely in its capacity as securityholder representative, as amended by the Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated January 8, 2016 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, we acquired HHI through the merger of one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries with and into HHI, with HHI surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of us, followed by the merger of HHI with and into another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, with the subsidiary surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of us (together, the “HHI Acquisition”).

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, we paid approximately $252.0 million in aggregate consideration, consisting of (i) approximately $164.0 million in cash (reflecting an adjustment for working capital as provided for in the Merger Agreement), of which $10 million was placed in escrow, (ii) 1,973,880 shares of our common stock, of which 224,306 shares were placed in escrow, and (iii) the assumption of options that are exercisable for 174,972 shares of our common stock, of which options to purchase 19,900 shares of our common stock were placed in escrow.

The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement are more fully described in our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 25, 2015 and January 8, 2016, and our Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 23, 2016, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Financing

On January 8, 2016, we, as borrower, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement with the lenders named therein and Regions Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent, which provides for a $125 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $50 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).The cash portion of the merger consideration for the HHI Acquisition was funded by the $125 million Term Loan Facility and $25 million borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as available cash on hand.

The terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement are more fully described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 8, 2016, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Investor Agreement

In connection with the closing of the HHI Acquisition, on January 8, 2016, we entered into an Investor Agreement with the FP Funds and AHR (the “Investor Agreement”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Investor Agreement provides AHR and the FP Funds with (i) demand and shelf registration rights with respect to the resale of shares of our common stock received by AHR in the HHI Acquisition and (ii) certain “piggy-back” registration rights. This registration statement is being filed to register the resale of the shares of our common stock received by AHR in the HHI Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreement.

The terms and conditions of the Investor Agreement are more fully described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 8, 2016, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

Copies of the Merger Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Investor Agreement have been filed as exhibits to our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on November 25, 2015 and January 8, 2016, to provide investors with information regarding their respective terms. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates.

These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those identified in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the possible resale by the selling stockholders of up to 1,965,605 shares of our common stock that were issued on January 8, 2016 in connection with the HHI Acquisition. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell under this prospectus any, all or none of the shares listed below. We are required under the Investor Agreement to register for resale the shares of our common stock described in the table below. We are registering the shares to permit each selling stockholder to resell the shares when such stockholder deems appropriate, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth under “Plan of Distribution.”

Except as described above in “Summary—Recent Developments”, none of the selling stockholders nor any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors or principal equity holders has had any material relationship with us or our affiliates within the past three years.

Beneficial Ownership of the Selling Stockholders

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number and percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders as of February 15, 2016, the number of shares of our common stock that may be offered under this prospectus, and the number and percentage of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all of the shares covered hereby are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our common stock. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days. The number of shares in the column “Number of Shares Offered” represents all of the shares that a selling stockholder may offer and sell from time to time under this prospectus.

The information in the table regarding the number of shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, as well as the information contained in footnote 2 to the table, are based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders. The information in the table below and the footnotes thereto regarding shares of common stock to be beneficially owned after the offering assumes the sale of all shares being offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus. The percentage of shares owned prior to and after the offering is based on 13,417,600 shares of common stock outstanding as of February 15, 2016. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each of the selling stockholders named in this table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned.

The selling stockholders may offer and sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus from time to time, in one or more or any combination of the following transactions:

 

    in underwritten transactions;

 

    on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, in the over-the-counter market or on any other national securities exchange or quotation service on which our shares are then listed or traded;

Any shares covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, a selling stockholder may transfer, devise or gift shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus.

The selling stockholders may sell the common stock at prices then prevailing or related to the then current market price or at negotiated prices. The offering price of the common stock from time to time will be determined by the selling stockholders and, at the time of the determination, may be higher or lower than the market price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or any other exchange or market. The selling stockholders may sell the common stock directly to purchasers or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commission from the selling stockholders or the purchasers. These discounts, concessions or commissions as to any particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved.

Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

Upon our notification by the selling stockholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing certain material information, including:

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following descriptions are summaries of the material terms of our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. These descriptions contain all information which we consider to be material, but may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand them fully, you should read our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws, copies of which are filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The summary below is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. The terms of these securities may also be affected by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Please note that, with respect to any of our shares held in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other share depositary, the depositary or its nominee will be the sole registered and legal owner of those shares, and references in this prospectus to any “stockholder” or “holder” of those shares means only the depositary or its nominee. Persons who hold beneficial interests in our shares through a depositary will not be registered or legal owners of those shares and will not be recognized as such for any purpose. For example, only the depositary or its nominee will be entitled to vote the shares held through it, and any dividends or other distributions to be paid, and any notices to be given, in respect of those shares will be paid or given only to the depositary or its nominee. Owners of beneficial interests in those shares will have to look solely to the depositary with respect to any benefits of share ownership, and any rights they may have with respect to those shares will be governed by the rules of the depositary, which are subject to change from time to time. We have no responsibility for those rules or their application to any interests held through the depositary.

Authorized Capitalization

Our capital structure consists of 30,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of February 15, 2016, there were 13,417,600 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Common Stock

As of February 15, 2016, there were 244 holders of record of our common stock.

The holders of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as our board of directors may declare from time to time from legally available funds, based on the number of shares of common stock then held of record by such holder. The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders, subject to the restrictions described below under the caption “— Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our By-Laws and Delaware Law.”

Our Certificate of Incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of the directors standing for election, and the holders of the remaining shares are not able to elect any directors.

Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share, on a pro rata basis, all assets remaining after payment to creditors. All of the outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights, conversion rights or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our By-Laws and Delaware Law

Our Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws contain a number of provisions relating to corporate governance and to the rights of our stockholders. Certain of these provisions may be deemed to have a potential

 

11


Table of Contents

“anti-takeover” effect in that such provisions may delay, defer or prevent a change of 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 the stockholders. These provisions include:

Classified Board. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors. As a result, not all of our directors stand for election each year. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the number of directors will be fixed exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by the board of directors, and that any vacancies or new directorships may be filled by the board of directors. Our board of directors currently has seven members.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock. Our authorized capital stock consists of 30,000,000 shares of common stock. A large quantity of authorized but unissued shares may deter potential takeover attempts because of the ability of our board of directors to authorize the issuance of some or all of these shares to a friendly party, or to the public, which would make it more difficult for a potential acquirer to obtain control of us. This possibility may encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. The authorized but unissued stock may be issued by the board of directors in one or more transactions. The authorized but unissued common stock could also be used in connection with the issuance of a shareholder rights plan, sometimes referred to as a “poison pill.” Our board of directors is able to implement a shareholder rights plan without further action by our stockholders.

Action by Written Consent. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual meeting or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our board of directors or a committee of the board of directors whose powers and authority include the power to call such meetings. Our By-Laws prohibit the conduct of any business at a special meeting other than as specified in the notice for such meeting.

Advance Notice Procedures. Our By-Laws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the board of directors. In order for any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not earlier than the opening of business 120 days prior, and not later than the close of business 90 days before, the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Our By-Laws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Under our By-Laws, the chairman of our board of directors, or another director designated by the chairman of our board of directors in the chairman’s absence, shall act as chairman of all meetings of stockholders. In the absence of the foregoing persons, the chairman of the meeting may be chosen by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present at the meeting by person or by proxy and who cast a vote affirmatively or negatively. The chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall have the discretion to establish the order of business for such meeting, subject to any specific order established by our board of directors, which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the order is not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of us.

The combination of the classification of our board of directors and the lack of cumulative voting will make it more difficult for our existing stockholders to replace our board of directors as well as for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Because our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management.

 

12


Table of Contents

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of our management or of us, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares of common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.

Removal of Directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. We have opted out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, which regulates corporate takeovers.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, our stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of us. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of our stockholders may bring an action in our name to procure a judgment in our favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of our shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and requires that we provide them with customary indemnification. We currently maintain management liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $10 million, excess director and officer liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5 million and Side A director and officer liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5 million.

Investor Agreement

In connection with the closing of the HHI Acquisition, on January 8, 2016, we entered into the Investor Agreement with the FP Funds and AHR, which provides AHR and the FP Funds with certain demand registration rights, including shelf registration rights, in respect of the shares of our common stock received by them in the HHI Acquisition, subject to certain conditions and limitations. AHR and the FP Funds are limited to no more than two underwritten takedowns off of an effective shelf registration statement pursuant to the Investor Agreement in any consecutive twelve-month period; there are no limitations on the number of shelf takedowns that are not underwritten.

In addition, in the event that we register additional shares of our common stock for sale to the public, we are required to give notice of our intent to effect such a registration to the AHR and the FP Funds and, subject to certain limitations, to include in such registration any shares of common stock held by AHR and the FP Funds that they request to be included. We have filed the shelf registration statement of which this prospectus is a part

 

13


Table of Contents

pursuant to the requirements of the Investor Agreement and have agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to have the shelf registration statement declared effective within 180 days of the closing of the HHI Acquisition on January 8, 2016, and to remain effective until no more shares of CPSI Common Stock remain subject to the registration rights provided by the Investor Agreement.

The Investor Agreement includes customary indemnification provisions in favor of AHR and the FP Funds, any person who is or might be deemed a control person (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and related parties, including, without limitation, officers, directors and employees, against certain losses and liabilities (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) resulting from any untrue statement or omission of material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which a selling stockholder sells shares of our common stock, unless such liability arose from the applicable selling stockholder’s misstatement or omission and the applicable selling stockholder has agreed to indemnify us against losses caused by its misstatements or omissions, subject to certain limitations.

As of February 15, 2016, an aggregate of 1,965,605 shares of outstanding common stock, representing all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders under this prospectus, were registrable securities pursuant to the terms of the Investor Agreement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

Our Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including payment of expenses in advance of resolution of any such matter. Our Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the potential personal monetary liability of our directors to CPSI or its stockholders for breaches of their duties as directors, except as otherwise required under the DGCL.

We maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law. We currently maintain management liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $10 million, excess director and officer liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5 million and Side A director and officer liability insurance in the aggregate amount of $5 million.

Item 17. Undertakings.

*(a) 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;

(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 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 (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) 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 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, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of 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;

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. 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 effective date, 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 effective date; and

Table of Contents

*(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

*(h) 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.
