Given these uncertainties, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.

 

Any forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements because of various factors, including, but not limited to factors affecting:

the demand for our solutions;

 

the effect of declines in average selling prices for our products;

our ability to safeguard our intellectual property; and

 

trends in the semiconductor industry and fluctuations in general economic conditions.

This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is only a summary of some of the most important factors and is not intended to be exhaustive. You should carefully review the discussion of the risks and uncertainties described in, and incorporated by reference under, “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this prospectus and in any prospectus supplement, as well as in the documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are incorporated herein by reference. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update the forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. Before deciding to invest in our common stock, please read carefully the risks and uncertainties described in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These risks and uncertainties include the risks described below as well as those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which are incorporated herein by reference and which may be updated, supplemented or superseded by the risks and uncertainties described in the reports we subsequently file with the SEC. See “Incorporation by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information” on page 7 of this prospectus. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently see as immaterial, may also harm our business. If any of these risks or uncertainties described in this prospectus or our SEC filings or any such additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Please also see “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” beginning on page ii.

 

The number of shares being registered for sale is significant in relation to our trading volume.

 

We have filed a registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to register the shares offered hereunder for sale into the public market by the selling stockholders. These shares, if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price during the period the registration statement remains effective and also could affect our ability to raise equity capital.

USE OF PROCEEDS 

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. All proceeds from the sale of the shares will be for the accounts of the selling stockholders, as described below. See “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution.”

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS 

 

Up to 5,274,580 shares of common stock are being offered by this prospectus, all of which are being offered for resale for the account of the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus all, some or none of the shares of our common stock being registered.

 

The following table (and the notes thereto) sets forth certain information as of October 3, 2014, the date of closing of our acquisition of Cortina, regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock by each of the selling stockholders and the shares being offered by the selling stockholders. Information with respect to beneficial ownership is based upon information obtained from the selling stockholders. Because the selling stockholders may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all, some or none of the shares of our common stock covered by this prospectus, we cannot determine the number of such shares that will be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the selling stockholders, or the amount or percentage of shares of our common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of any particular offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” For purposes of the table below, we assume that the selling stockholders will sell all their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.

All of the selling stockholders received their shares of Inphi common stock as part of the consideration paid in connection with the acquisition of Cortina pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The registration statement to which this prospectus relates is being filed pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of these agreements, we agreed to file the registration statement to cover the shares of Inphi common stock received by each selling stockholder in the acquisition and to keep the registration statement effective until the shares offered by this prospectus (i) have been disposed of by the selling stockholders in accordance with the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”); (ii) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitation as to manner-of-sale restrictions or volume limitations; (iii) cease to be outstanding, or (iv) have been transferred or assigned in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are not assigned in compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

To our knowledge, (i) the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable, and the information contained in the footnotes to this table, and (ii) no other selling stockholder nor any affiliate of a selling stockholder has held any position or office with, been employed by or otherwise has had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates during the three years prior to the date of this prospectus, other than as a result of the ownership of our shares of common stock or other securities.

 

In the table below, the percentage of shares beneficially owned is based on 31,773,686 shares of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on October 3, 2014, determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares over which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares that the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of such date through the exercise of any options or other rights. The beneficial ownership information presented in this table is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders may offer and sell the shares covered by this prospectus at various times.  As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling shares received from a named selling stockholder as a gift, partnership distribution, or other non-sale-related transfer after the date of this prospectus.  The selling stockholders will act independently of Inphi in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.  The shares may be sold by or for the account of the selling stockholders in transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, the over-the-counter market, or otherwise.  These sales may be made at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of the sale, or at negotiated prices.  The shares may be sold by means of one or more of the following methods:

 

 

a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by that broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus;

 

ordinary brokerage transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;

 

privately negotiated transactions;

 

a combination of any of the above methods; or

 

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If required, we will distribute a supplement to this prospectus to describe material changes in the terms of the offering.

 

The selling stockholders may sell the shares described in this prospectus directly to purchasers or through broker-dealers, which may act as agents or principals. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in resales.  Broker-dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or from the purchasers of the shares or from both.  This compensation may exceed customary commissions. The selling stockholders may also transfer, devise, gift or pledge these shares by other means not described in this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144. 

 

The selling stockholders have not advised us of any specific plans for the distribution of the shares covered by this prospectus. When and if we are notified by the selling stockholders that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer or underwriter for the sale of a material portion of the shares covered by this prospectus, we will file a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement with the SEC. This supplement or amendment will include the following information:

 

 

the name of the participating broker-dealer(s) or underwriters;

 

the number of shares involved;

 

the price(s) at which the shares were sold;

 

the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed by the selling stockholders to the broker- dealers or underwriters, if any; and

 

other information material to the transaction.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers, agents or underwriters that participate with the selling stockholders in the distribution of the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act.  Any commissions paid or any discounts or concessions allowed to any of those persons, and any profits received on the resale of the shares purchased by them, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters,” the selling stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

 
8

 

 

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the resale shares will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the resale shares by the selling stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular resale shares being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the resale shares and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the resale shares. We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules promulgated under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M, may apply to sales of the shares offered by the selling stockholders.

 

The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, broker or dealer that participates in sales of common stock against liabilities arising under the Securities Act from sales of common stock.

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. 

 

We have agreed to bear all expenses of registration of the shares other than fees and expenses, if any, of counsel or other advisors to the selling stockholders.  Any commissions, discounts, concessions or other fees, if any, payable to broker-dealers in connection with any sale of the shares will be borne by the selling stockholders selling those shares.

 

There can be no assurances that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the shares of common stock offered under this prospectus.

 

The registration statement to which this prospectus relates is being filed pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement.  The Registration Rights Agreement provides that we will indemnify the selling stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or they may be entitled to contribution. The Registration Rights Agreement further provides that the selling stockholders will indemnify us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or we may be entitled to contribution.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file the registration statement to cover the shares of Inphi common stock received by each selling stockholder in the acquisition of Cortina and to keep the registration statement effective until the shares offered by this prospectus (i) have been disposed of by the selling stockholders in accordance with the registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144; (ii) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitation as to manner-of-sale restrictions or volume limitations; (iii) cease to be outstanding, or (iv) have been transferred or assigned in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under the Registration Rights Agreement are not assigned in compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

Once sold under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“the “DGCL”) provides for the indemnification of officers, directors, and other corporate agents in terms sufficiently broad to indemnify such persons under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. Article VIII of the Registrant’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (Exhibit 3(i) of the Registrant’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2011) and Article 6 of the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (Exhibit 3(ii).2 filed with Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-167564)) provide for indemnification of the Registrant’s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant has also entered into agreements with its directors and officers that will require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

 

The above discussion of Section 145 of the DGCL, our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Amended and Restated Bylaws and our indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by the actual provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, the DGCL and the indemnification agreements.

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 this 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 this 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, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 
II-2

 

 

 

(5)

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.

 

(b)

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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
