Information Statement (a) Buyer shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (taking into account the timing of the delivery by Seller to Buyer of any necessary historic financial statements), a written information statement containing the information specified in Schedule 14C under the Exchange Act and concerning the Share Issuance and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Exchange Act (the “Information Statement”). Buyer agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that the Information Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto (i) shall comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) shall not, at the date of mailing to holders of Buyer Common Stock, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by or on behalf of Seller or any of its Affiliates. Seller shall cooperate in the preparation of the Information Statement and shall promptly provide to Buyer all information regarding Seller or any of its Affiliates (including, but not limited to, any financial statements of and other information relating to the Transferred Entities which may be required pursuant to Regulation 14C under the Exchange Act) that is reasonably required in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Information Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto. Seller agrees that none of the information supplied by Seller for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Information Statement shall, at the date of mailing to the holders of Buyer Common Stock, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
New Registration Statement Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Shelf Registration as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities to register a lesser amount of Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders. In the event the Company amends the Shelf Registration or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Shelf Registration, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.
