Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
Securities Act), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of the
Registrants common stock which become issuable under the Plan by reason of any stock divided,
stock split, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the
Registrants receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the
Registrants outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
|
(2) |
|
Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
Securities Act) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The computation
is based on the average of the high and low prices of the Registrants common stock, as
reported by the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, on January 21, 2010 (the most recent date on
which the Registrants common stock was traded). |
Proposed sale to take place as soon after the effective date of the registration statement as options under the plan are exercised.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(A) PROSPECTUS
The information called for in Part I of Form S-8 is not being filed with or included in this
Form S-8 (by incorporation by reference or otherwise) in accordance with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission).
PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
In this registration statement, Iveda Corporation is sometimes referred to as the Registrant, we, us or
our.
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Commission requires us to incorporate by reference certain of our publicly-filed
documents into this prospectus, which means that information included in those documents is
considered part of this prospectus. Information that we file with the Commission after the
effective date of this prospectus will automatically update and supersede this information.
The following documents previously filed with the Commission are hereby incorporated by
reference:
(a) Our prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act,
on August 14, 2009, relating to the registration statement on Form S-4, as amended (Registration
No. 333-159272), which contains audited financial statements for our latest fiscal year for which
such statements have been filed, including all material incorporated by reference therein.
(b) Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended April 30, 2009, July 31,
2009 and September 30, 2009 (filed June 16, 2009, September 14, 2009 and November 25, 2009),
including all material incorporated by reference therein.
(c) Our Current Reports on Forms 8-K and 8-K/A filed on October 21, 2009, November 2, 2009,
November 4, 2009, November 12, 2009, January 27, 2010
and February 4, 2010, including all material incorporated by
reference therein.
(d) The description of our common stock contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A,
filed with the Commission under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
(the Exchange Act) on June 18, 2008 (Registration No. 000-53285), including any amendments or
reports filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All documents that the Registrant subsequently files pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the registration
statement which indicates that all of the shares of common stock offered have been sold or which
deregisters all of such shares then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of
such documents; except as to any portion of any future annual or quarterly report to shareholders
or document or current report furnished under current Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K that is not
deemed filed under such provisions. For the purposes of this registration statement, any statement
contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be
deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other
subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement.
Under no circumstances will any information filed under current Items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K
be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.
We will furnish without charge to you, on written or oral request, a copy of any or all of the
documents incorporated by reference, other than exhibits to those documents. You should direct any
requests for documents to Luz Berg, Corporate Secretary, Iveda Corporation, 1201 South Alma School

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is
made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses
incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the
merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all
expenses incurred, including attorneys fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be
made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the
officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be
to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Nevada law provides that a director is not individually liable to the corporation or its
shareholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in such
directors capacity as a director unless it is proven that:
|
|
|
the directors act or failure to act constituted a breach of the
directors fiduciary duty as a director; and |
|
|
|
the directors breach of those duties involved intentional
misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. |
Our articles of incorporation provide that, to the extent permitted by Nevada law, a director
will not be personally liable for monetary damages to the corporation or its shareholders for
breach of his or her fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability under the above-listed
exception.
Nevada law does not permit a corporation to indemnify directors against judgments in actions
brought by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the
corporation and extends this limitation to indemnification of officers. However, Nevada law does
permit indemnification for reasonable expenses in these situations if the indemnification is
ordered by a court.
Under Nevada law, directors and officers as well as other individuals may be indemnified
against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in
connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation as a derivative action)
if they acted in a manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest
of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, if they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. In addition, Nevada law permits the
corporation to advance expenses upon a written undertaking for their repayment if the person
receiving the advance is not ultimately entitled to indemnification. Nevada law specifies that the
statutory provisions are not exclusive of other rights to
indemnification or advancement of expenses that may be provided by bylaws, agreements, votes
of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
Our articles of incorporation provide to directors and officers indemnification to the full
extent provided by law; therefore, directors and officers will have all the protections available
to directors and officers of Nevada corporations. The articles of incorporation also provide that
the corporation may enter into specific agreements with individual officers or directors for
greater or different indemnification.
The above discussion of Nevada law and of our articles of incorporation and bylaws is not
intended to be exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by such statutes, articles of
incorporation and bylaws.

Item 9. 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement;
(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) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-8 and 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 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Mesa, State of Arizona, on this 1st day of
February, 2010.
