Effective Registration Statement The Registration Statement shall have become effective and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been initiated or threatened by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority.
The Registration Statement (a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Parties shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Securities to be issued under this Agreement to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Company Securities at the Closing Date, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of Purchaser (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Purchaser shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their Purchaser Ordinary Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the shareholder vote on the Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall be used to solicit proxies from Purchaser shareholders to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, in favor of resolutions approving this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated as part of the Business Combination, the Domestication, the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan for Pubco in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, Pubco and Purchaser (the “Pubco Equity Plan”), which will provide that the total awards under such Pubco Equity Plan will be a number of Pubco Common Stock equal to twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, and such other matters as the Company, Pubco and Purchaser shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the “Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters”), and the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of Purchaser. If on the date for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, Purchaser has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Purchaser may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Extraordinary General Meeting. In connection with the Registration Statement, Purchaser, the Company and Pubco will file with the SEC financial and other information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and applicable proxy solicitation and registration statement rules set forth in Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, the Companies Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq and Form S-4. Purchaser and Pubco shall cooperate and provide the Company (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing the same with the SEC. The Company shall provide Purchaser and Pubco with such information concerning the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The information included in the Registration Statement with respect to Purchaser and Pubco shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. (b) Purchaser and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption. Each of Purchaser, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company, Pubco, Purchaser, and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Purchaser and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC. (c) Purchaser, the Company and Pubco, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and be declared effective. Purchaser and Pubco shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company of any oral comments, that Purchaser, Pubco or their respective Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments. (d) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and being declared effective, Purchaser and Pubco shall distribute the Proxy Statement to Purchaser’s shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Act for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. (e) Purchaser and Pubco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.
Rule 462(b) Registration Statement In the event that a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is filed in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission on the date of this Agreement and shall have become effective automatically upon such filing.
Additional Registration Statement To the extent that the Registration Statement is not available for the sales of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall file a new registration statement with respect to any additional shares of Common Stock necessary to complete such sales of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. After the effectiveness of any such registration statement, all references to “Registration Statement” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such new registration statement, including all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, and all references to “Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in any such registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective.
Resale Registration Statement (a) Within 45 days after the Effective Time, Parent shall file with the SEC, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable, a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (or if Parent is not eligible to use Form S-3, any other form that Parent is eligible to use) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act covering the resale (i) by former affiliates of the Company as set forth in Section 5.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter including any former affiliates of the Company who may following the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will be current affiliates of Parent (the “Affiliate Stockholders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement as consideration and (ii) by holders of Company Warrants (“Company Warrant Holders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants or warrants issued by Parent in exchange therefor (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”). In its discretion, Parent will be permitted to register any other shares for resale by other eligible selling stockholders using the Shelf Registration Statement. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable for the resale of the Registrable Shares covered thereby for a period commencing on the date on which the SEC declares such Shelf Registration Statement effective and ending on the earlier of (x) the date upon which all of the Registrable Shares first become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act without restriction or (y) the first date upon which all of the Registrable Shares covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. (b) Parent may, by written notice to the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement for up to thirty (30) days, or for such longer period, as a result of restraints or restrictions under applicable Law or (ii) suspend the Shelf Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (A) for a period of not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or seventy-five (75) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, in the event that Parent files a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or its successor form) with the SEC for a then pending public offering of its securities or (B) following the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, for no longer than twenty (20) consecutive trading days if an event has occurred or Parent has entered into a transaction which Parent determines in good faith must be disclosed in order for Parent to comply with the public disclosure requirements imposed on Parent under the Securities Act in connection with the Resale Registration Statement, provided, that in respect of all such events or occurrences Parent shall not suspend the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement for more than forty (40) trading days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.
Additional Registration Statements Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter while any Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information Failure (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) exists, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or such supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement)). “Applicable Date” means the earlier of (x) the first date on which the resale by the Buyers of all the Registrable Securities required to be filed on the initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).
Copies of Registration Statement The Company will furnish the Dealer Manager with one signed copy of the Registration Statement, including its exhibits, and such additional copies of the Registration Statement, without exhibits, and the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements thereto, which are finally approved by the Commission, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request for sale of the Shares.
Accuracy of Registration Statement Each of the Registration Statement, and any post-effective amendment thereto, at the time each became effective and as of the applicable filing date as to the Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations, and did not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Each Preliminary Prospectus, at the time each was filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Disclosure Package did not and will not, as of the Applicable Time, as of the Closing Time, and as of each Option Closing Time, if any, contain an untrue statement of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Prospectus, as of its date, as of the Closing Time, and as of each Option Closing Time, if any, complied and will comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations and did not or will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering is identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission on EXXXX, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T. The foregoing representations and warranties in this Section 3(b) do not apply to any statements or omissions made in reliance on and in conformity with the Underwriter Content.
Suspension of Registration Statement (a) The Company shall immediately notify counsel of the Holders of, and confirm in writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to such Holder's Registrable Shares or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement as soon as practicable. (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company's obligation under this Agreement to cause a Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commission to become effective or to amend or supplement a Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein shall be suspended (i) in the event and during such period as unforeseen circumstances exist that would require additional disclosure of material information that would make it impractical or unadvisable, in the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, to cause the Registration Statement or such filings to become effective or to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein, or (ii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such filings or an amendment of or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein could, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company, interfere with a proposed financing, acquisition or reorganization, the conduct or outcome of any litigation or would require the disclosure of information that the Company has a bona fide purpose for preserving as confidential (each, a "Suspension Event"); provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by applicable law, there shall not be more than three (3) Suspension Events in any 12-month period; and provided further that no Suspension Event shall exceed sixty (60) days. The Company shall notify counsel to the Holders in writing of the existence and, to the extent possible under applicable law, nature of any Suspension Event. (c) Each Holder agrees that, following the effectiveness of any Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Shares of such Holder, such Holder will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or any filings with any state securities commissions at any time after such Holder has received written notice from the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence or existence of any Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update such Registration Statement or filing in accordance with Section 2(f). Such Holder may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement or filing upon further notice to such effect from the Company which notice shall be given by the Company promptly after the conclusion of any such Suspension Event.
Filing Registration Statement The Company shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President or Chairman of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.
