EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1
(the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form

issued and sold under the sales agreement prospectus is included in
the $300,000,000 of securities that may be offered, issued and sold

other offerings pursuant to the base prospectus, and if no shares
are sold under the sales agreement, the full $300,000,000 of
securities may be sold in other offerings pursuant to the base
prospectus and a corresponding prospectus supplement.
The
information in this prospectus is not complete and may be
changed. We may not sell these securities until the

TG
THERAPEUTICS, INC.
We are a
biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development
and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell malignancies
and autoimmune diseases. Currently, we are developing two therapies
targeting hematologic malignancies. TG-1101 (ublituximab) is a
novel, glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a specific
and unique epitope on the CD20 antigen found on mature
B-lymphocytes. We are also developing TGR-1202, an orally available
PI3K delta inhibitor. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly
expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be
important in the proliferation and survival of B-lymphocytes. Both
TG-1101 and TGR-1202 are in clinical development for patients with
hematologic malignancies, with TG-1101 also in clinical development
for autoimmune disorders. We also have pre-clinical programs to
develop IRAK4 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4)
inhibitors, BET (Bromodomain and Extra Terminal) inhibitors, and
anti-PD-L1 and anti-GITR antibodies.
We also actively
evaluate complementary products, technologies and companies for
in-licensing, partnership, acquisition and/or investment
opportunities. To date, we have not received approval for the sale
of any of our drug candidates in any market and, therefore, have
not generated any product sales from our drug
candidates.
Our principal
executive offices are located at 2 Gansevoort Street, 9th Floor,
New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is
212-554-4484. We maintain a website on the Internet at
www.tgtherapeutics.com and our e-mail address is info@tgtxinc.com.

DESCRIPTION
OF COMMON STOCK
The following
summary of the terms of our common stock may not be complete and is
subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the
terms and provisions of our amended and restated certificate of
incorporation and our restated bylaws. You should refer
to, and read this summary together with, our amended and restated
certificate of incorporation and restated bylaws to review all of
the terms of our common stock that may be important to
you.
Common
Stock
Under our
certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue a total of
150,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share. As of March 31, 2017, we had 66,816,455 shares
issued and 66,775,146 shares outstanding of our common
stock. There are approximately 301 holders of
record. All outstanding shares of our common stock are
fully paid and nonassessable. Our common stock is listed on the
Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol
“TGTX.”
Dividends
Subject to the
dividend rights of the holders of any outstanding series of
preferred stock, holders of our common stock are entitled to
receive ratably such dividends and other distributions of cash or
any other right or property as may be declared by our board of
directors out of our assets or funds legally available for such
dividends or distributions.
Voting
Rights
The holders of our
common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common
stock owned by that stockholder on every matter properly submitted
to the stockholders for their vote. Stockholders are not entitled
to vote cumulatively for the election of directors.
Liquidation
and Dissolution
In the event of any
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
our affairs, holders of common stock would be entitled to share
ratably in our assets that are legally available for distribution
to stockholders after payment of liabilities. If we have any
preferred stock outstanding at such time, holders of the preferred
stock may be entitled to distributions and/or liquidation
preferences. In either such case, we must pay the applicable
distribution to the holders of our preferred stock (if any) before
we may pay distributions to the holders of common
stock.
Other
Holders of our
common stock have no conversion, redemption, preemptive,
subscription or similar rights.
Transfer
Agent
American Stock
Transfer and Trust Company serves as the transfer agent and
registrar for all of our common stock.
Preferred
Stock
Under the terms of
our restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors
is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
par value $0.001 per share. Our board of directors may issues
shares of preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder
approval, and has the discretion to determine the rights,
preferences, privileges and restrictions, including voting rights,
dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and
liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock. We may
amend from time to time our restated certificate of incorporation
to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. Any
such amendment would require the approval of the holders of a
majority of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote
thereon. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 10,000,000
shares of preferred shares authorized, but no shares of preferred
stock outstanding.
It is not possible
to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of
preferred stock upon the rights of the holders of common stock
until the board of directors determines the specific rights of the
holders of preferred stock. However, effects of the issuance of
preferred stock include restricting dividends on common stock,
diluting the voting power of common stock, impairing the
liquidation rights of common stock, and making it more difficult
for a third party to acquire us, which could have the effect of
discouraging a third party from acquiring, or deterring a third
party from paying a premium to acquire, a majority of our
outstanding voting stock.
The particular
terms of any series of preferred stock being offered by us will be
described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of
preferred stock. Those terms may include:
|
•
|
the title and
liquidation preference per share of the preferred stock and the
number of shares offered;
|
|
•
|
the purchase price
of the preferred stock;
|
|
•
|
the dividend rate
(or method of calculation);
|
|
•
|
the dates on which
dividends will be paid and the date from which dividends will begin
to accumulate;
|
|
•
|
any redemption or
sinking fund provisions of the preferred stock;
|
|
•
|
any listing of the
preferred stock on any securities exchange or market;
|
|
•
|
any conversion
provisions of the preferred stock;
|
|
•
|
the voting rights,
if any, of the preferred stock; and
|
|
•
|
any additional
dividend, liquidation, redemption, sinking fund and other rights,
preferences, privileges, limitations and restrictions of the
preferred stock.
|
The preferred stock
will, when issued, be fully paid and non-assessable.
DESCRIPTION
OF WARRANTS
We may issue
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and/or preferred
stock in one or more series together with other securities or
separately, as described in each applicable prospectus
supplement.

supplement relating to any warrants we offer will include specific

General
One or more series
of debt securities may be sold as “original issue
discount” securities. These debt securities would be sold at
a substantial discount below their stated principal amount, bearing
no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is
below market rates. One or more series of debt securities may be
variable rate debt securities that may be exchanged for fixed rate
debt securities.
United States
federal income tax consequences and special considerations, if any,
applicable to any such series will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement.
Debt securities may
be issued where the amount of principal and/or interest payable is
determined by reference to one or more currency exchange rates,
commodity prices, equity indices or other factors. Holders of such
debt securities may receive a principal amount or a payment of
interest that is greater than or less than the amount of principal
or interest otherwise payable on such dates, depending upon the
value of the applicable currencies, commodities, equity indices or
other factors. Information as to the methods for determining the
amount of principal or interest, if any, payable on any date, the
currencies, commodities, equity indices or other factors to which
the amount payable on such date is linked and certain additional
United States federal income tax considerations will be set forth
in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The term
“debt securities” includes debt securities denominated
in U.S. dollars or, if specified in the applicable prospectus
supplement, in any other freely transferable currency or units
based on or relating to foreign currencies.
We expect most debt
securities to be issued in fully registered form without coupons
and in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples thereof.
Subject to the limitations provided in the indenture and in the
prospectus supplement, debt securities that are issued in
registered form may be transferred or exchanged at the principal
corporate trust office of the trustee, without the payment of any
service charge, other than any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.
Global
Securities
The debt securities
of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or
more global securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf
of, a depositary identified in the prospectus supplement. Global
securities will be issued in registered form and in either
temporary or definitive form. Unless and until it is exchanged in
whole or in part for the individual debt securities, a global
security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary
for such global security to a nominee of such depositary or by a
nominee of such depositary to such depositary or another nominee of
such depositary or by such depositary or any such nominee to a
successor of such depositary or a nominee of such successor. The
specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any
debt securities of a series and the rights of and limitations upon
owners of beneficial interests in a global security will be
described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Governing
Law
The indenture and
the debt securities shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York.
DESCRIPTION
OF UNITS
We may issue, in
one more series, units comprised of shares of our common stock or
preferred stock, warrants to purchase common stock or preferred
stock, debt securities or any combination of those securities. 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 may evidence
units by unit certificates that we issue under a separate
agreement. We may issue the units under a unit agreement between us
and one or more unit agents. If we elect to enter into a unit
agreement with a unit agent, the unit agent will act solely as our
agent in connection with the units and will not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any
registered holders of units or beneficial owners of units. We will
indicate the name and address and other information regarding the
unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a
particular series of units if we elect to use a unit
agent.
We will describe in
the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of
units being offered, including:
|
•
|
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 provisions of
the governing unit agreement that differ from those described
herein; and
|
|
•
|
any provisions for
the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the
units or of the securities comprising the units.
|
The other
provisions regarding our common stock, preferred stock, warrants
and debt securities as described in this section will apply to each
unit to the extent such unit consists of shares of our common
stock, preferred stock, warrants and/or debt
securities.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the
securities covered in this prospectus in any of three ways (or in
any combination):
·
through
underwriters or dealers;
·
directly to a
limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;
or
Each time that we
use this prospectus to sell securities, we will also provide a
prospectus or prospectus supplement that contains the specific
terms of the offering. The prospectus or prospectus
supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the
securities, including:
·
the name or names
of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of any
securities underwritten or purchased by each of them;
and
·
the public offering
price of the common stock and the proceeds to us and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers.
Any public offering
price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid
to dealers may be changed from time to time.
If underwriters are
used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired
by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from
time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated
transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices
determined at the time of sale. The securities may be
either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates
represented by managing underwriters, or directly by
underwriters. Generally, the underwriters’
obligations to purchase the securities will be subject to certain
conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated
to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of
securities.
We may sell the
securities through agents from time to time. The
prospectus or prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in
the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to
them. Generally, any agent will be acting on a best
efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
We may authorize
underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain
purchasers to purchase the securities from us at the public
offering price set forth in the prospectus or prospectus supplement
pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and
delivery on a specified date in the future. The
contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the
prospectus or prospectus supplement, and the prospectus or
prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we pay for
solicitation of these contracts.
Agents and
underwriters may be entitled to indemnification by us against
certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribution with respect
to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to
make in respect thereof. Agents and underwriters may be
customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for
us in the ordinary course of business.
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 or prospectus
supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the
third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and
the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement, including in
short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use
securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle
those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of
securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement
of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of
securities. The third party in such sale transactions
will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable
prospectus or prospectus supplement (or a post-effective
amendment).
In compliance with
the guidelines of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority,
Inc., or FINRA, the maximum compensation to be received by a FINRA
member or independent broker-dealer may not exceed 8% of the

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
|
This summary highlights information contained elsewhere or
incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not
contain all of the information that you should consider before
deciding to invest in our common stock. You should read this entire
prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors”
section contained in this prospectus, our consolidated financial
statements and the related notes thereto and the other documents
incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Our
Company
We are a
biopharmaceutical company focused on the acquisition, development
and commercialization of novel treatments for B-cell malignancies
and autoimmune diseases. Currently, we are developing two therapies
targeting hematologic malignancies. TG-1101 (ublituximab) is a
novel, glycoengineered monoclonal antibody that targets a specific
and unique epitope on the CD20 antigen found on mature
B-lymphocytes. We are also developing TGR-1202, an orally available
PI3K delta inhibitor. The delta isoform of PI3K is strongly
expressed in cells of hematopoietic origin and is believed to be
important in the proliferation and survival of B-lymphocytes. Both
TG-1101 and TGR-1202 are in clinical development for patients with
hematologic malignancies, with TG-1101 also in clinical development
for autoimmune disorders. We also have pre-clinical programs to
develop IRAK4 (interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 4)
inhibitors, BET (Bromodomain and Extra Terminal) inhibitors, and
anti-PD-L1 and anti-GITR antibodies.
We also actively
evaluate complementary products, technologies and companies for
in-licensing, partnership, acquisition and/or investment
opportunities. To date, we have not received approval for the sale
of any of our drug candidates in any market and, therefore, have
not generated any product sales from our drug
candidates.
Our principal
executive offices are located at 2 Gansevoort Street, 9th Floor,
New York, New York 10014, and our telephone number is 212-554-4484.
We maintain a website on the Internet at www.tgtherapeutics.com and
our e-mail address is info@tgtxinc.com. Our Internet website, and
the information contained on it, are not to be considered part of
this prospectus.

RISK
FACTORS
Investment in our common stock involves risks. Before deciding
whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider
carefully the risk factors discussed below and those contained in
the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as
filed with the SEC on March 16, 2017, which is incorporated herein
by reference in its entirety, as well as any amendment or update to
our risk factors reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC. If
any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings
actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flow could be materially and adversely affected.
This could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline,
resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. The risks
and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones facing
our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known
to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our
business operations.
Risks
Associated with this Offering
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds of this
offering and may not use them effectively.
We intend to use
the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes
and to continue clinical trials of our product candidates. However,
our management will have broad discretion in the application of the
net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in
ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the
value of our common stock. The failure by management to apply these
funds effectively could result in financial losses that could have
a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our
common stock to decline and delay the development of our product
candidates.
You will experience immediate and substantial
dilution.
The offering price
per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value
per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering.
Assuming that an aggregate of 26,200,873 shares of our common stock
are sold at a price of $11.45 per share, the last reported sale
price of our common stock on the Exchange on May 22, 2017, for
aggregate gross proceeds of $300,000,000, and after deducting
commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will
experience immediate dilution of $7.24 per share,
representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible
book value per share as of March 31, 2017 after giving effect to
this offering and the assumed offering price, net of commissions
and offering expenses. The exercise of outstanding stock options
and warrants will result in further dilution of your investment.
See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more
detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you
participate in this offering.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity
offerings.
In order to raise
additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of
our common stock or other securities convertible into or
exchangeable for our common stock at prices that may not be the
same as the price per share in this offering. We may sell shares or
other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is
less than the price per share paid by investors in this offering,
and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future
could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per
share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or
securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future
transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid
by investors in this offering.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and
sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of
up to $300,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum
offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the
actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to
us, if any, are not determinable at this time. We estimate that the
net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock that we
are offering may be up to approximately $290,790,000, after
deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by
us.
We
intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for the continued
development of TG-1101 and TGR-1202, the potential in-license,
acquisition, development and commercialization of other
pharmaceutical products, research and development activities, and
for general corporate purposes
DIVIDEND
POLICY
We have never
declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and do not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any
future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of
our board of directors.
DILUTION
If you invest in
our common stock, your interest will be diluted to the extent of
the difference between the price per share you pay in this offering
and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock
immediately after this offering. Our net tangible book value of our
common stock as of March 31, 2017 was approximately $100,200,000,
or approximately $1.50 per share of common stock based upon
66,775,146 shares outstanding. Net tangible book value per share is
equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities,
divided by the total number of shares outstanding as of March 31,
2017.
After giving effect
to the sale of our common stock in the aggregate amount of
$300,000,000 at an assumed offering price of $11.45 per share, the
last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital
Market on May 22, 2017, and after deducting estimated offering
commissions and expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value
as of March 31, 2017 would have been approximately $390,990,000, or
$4.21 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate
increase in net tangible book value of $2.71 per share to our
existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible
book value of $7.24 per share to new investors in this
offering.

PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered
into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, which we refer to as
the sales agreement, with the Agents under which we may issue and
sell our common stock from time to time through the Agents acting
as agents, subject to certain limitations, including the number of
shares registered under the registration statement to which the
offering relates. The form of the sales agreement is filed as an
exhibit to this prospectus. The sales, if any, of shares made under
the sales agreement will be made by any method that is deemed an
“at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415
promulgated under the Securities Act. We may instruct the Agents
not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or
above the price designated by us from time to time. We or the
Agents may suspend the offering of common stock upon notice and
subject to other conditions.
Each time we wish
to issue and sell common stock under the sales agreement, we will
notify an Agent of the number of shares to be issued, the dates on
which such sales are anticipated to be made, any minimum price
below which sales may not be made and other sales parameters as we
deem appropriate. Once we have so instructed such Agent, unless
such Agent declines to accept the terms of the notice, such Agent
has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent
with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such shares up
to the amount specified on such terms. The obligations of the
Agents under the sales agreement to sell our common stock is
subject to a number of conditions that we must meet.
We will pay the
Agents’ commissions for their services in acting as agents in
the sale of common stock. The Agents will be entitled to a
commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of
common stock offered hereby.
The Agents may also receive customary
brokerage commissions from purchasers of the common stock in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121. The Agents may effect sales to or
through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the
form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Agents
and/or purchasers of shares of common stock for whom they may act
as agents or to whom they may sell as principal. In addition, we
have agreed to reimburse certain expenses of the Agents in an
amount not to exceed $20,000. We estimate that the total expenses
for the offering, excluding compensation payable to the Agents
under the terms of the sales agreement, will be approximately
$210,000.
Settlement for
sales of common stock will generally occur on the third business
day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some
other date that is agreed upon by us and the Agents in connection
with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net
proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in
an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
In connection with
the sale of the common stock on our behalf, each Agent may, and
will with respect to sales effected in an “at the market
offering,” be deemed to be an “underwriter”
within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of
the Agents may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts. We have agreed to provide indemnification and
contribution to the Agents against certain civil liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. We have also agreed
to reimburse the Agents for certain other specified
expenses.
The offering of our
common stock pursuant to the sales agreement will terminate upon
the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our common stock provided for
in this prospectus or (ii) termination of the sales agreement as
provided therein.
The Agents and their affiliates may
in the future provide various investment banking and other
financial services for us and our affiliates, for which services
they may in the future receive customary fees. In addition, the
Agents and their respective affiliates are full service financial
institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial
advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging,
financing and brokerage activities. In the ordinary course of their
various business activities, the Agents and their respective
affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and
actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative
securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for
their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may
at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and
instruments. Such investment and securities activities may
involve our securities and instruments.
LEGAL

The validity of the
common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Alston &
Bird LLP, New York, New York. Duane Morris LLP, New York, New York,
is counsel for the Agents in connection with this
offering.

INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Under the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or DGCL, a corporation
may include provisions in its certificate of incorporation that
will relieve its directors of monetary liability for breaches of
their fiduciary duty to the corporation, except under certain
circumstances, including a breach of the director’s duty of
loyalty, acts or omissions of the director not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
the approval of an improper payment of a dividend or an improper
purchase by the corporation of stock or any transaction from which
the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors to the
Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of
fiduciary duty as a director with certain limited exceptions set
forth in the DGCL.
Section 145 of the
DGCL grants to corporations the power to indemnify each officer and
director against liabilities and expenses incurred by reason of the
fact that he or she is or was an officer or director of the
corporation if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she 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 his or her
conduct was unlawful. The Registrant’s Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws provide
for indemnification of each officer and director of the Registrant
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. Section 145
of the DGCL also empowers corporations to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was an officer or
director of the corporation against liability asserted against or
incurred by him in any such capacity, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify such officer or
director against such liability under the provisions of Section 145
of the DGCL.

A. RULE
415 OFFERING
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 the
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;
|
(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 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.
(5) 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 15(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 the 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 that
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 the 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.
(6)
That, for the
purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities:
The undersigned
registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of
the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities
to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such
purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will
be considered to offer or sell such securities to such
purchaser:
|
(i)
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424;
|
|
(ii)
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the
offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or
used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
|
|
(iii)
|
The portion of any other free writing
prospectuses relating to the offering containing material
information about the undersigned registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned registrant to the
purchaser.
|
B. Filings
Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents By
Reference
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 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. Request
for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration
Statement on Form S-8
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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that
it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has
duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf
by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of New
York, State of New York, on June 9, 2017.
