Our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "FLGC."  The last reported sale price of our common shares on Nasdaq on April 3, 2024 was $2.67 per share.

As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common shares held by non-affiliates, or our public float, was $18.1 million based on 6,781,422 outstanding common shares held by non-affiliates and a per share price of $2.67, which was the closing price of our common shares on April 3, 2024 and is the highest closing sale price of our common shares on Nasdaq within the prior 60 days. In no event will we sell securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 in a public primary offering with value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month calendar period so long as our public float remains below US$75 million and General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 continues to apply to us.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, and under similar headings in our subsequently filed reports on Form 8-K, and other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

Risks Related to This Offering

The sale of a substantial amount of our common shares could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares.

We are offering 1,700,000 common shares. Sales of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common shares. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional common shares or other equity or debt securities convertible into common shares. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our share price to decline.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Our management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from any offering by us and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us.

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per common share you purchase in the offering.

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per common share outstanding prior to this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 1,700,000 common shares at a price of $1.90 per common share, and after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of $1.12 per common share, representing the difference between our net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023 after giving effect to this offering and the offering price. The exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options may also result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled "Dilution" below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you may incur if you participate in this offering.


CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain "forward-looking statements," as that term is defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein. Risks and uncertainties, the occurrence of which could adversely affect our business, include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • our limited operating history and net losses;
  • changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines, including stop sale orders;
  • decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;
  • our ability to continue as a going concern absent access to sources of liquidity;
  • damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
  • exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
  • risks associated with product recalls;
  • product viability;
  • continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
  • shelf life of inventory;
  • our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire;
  • maintenance of effective quality control systems;
  • changes to energy prices and supply;
  • risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
  • regulatory compliance risks;
  • opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
  • potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward-looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the document incorporated by reference herein, as applicable. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement or the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus supplement.


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering of securities will be approximately $2,833,675, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures, to increase operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. Our net proceeds will be utilized for general corporate and working capital needs.

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Our management will have discretion in allocating the net proceeds in accordance with the above priorities and purposes.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our expansion and development efforts, whether or not we enter into strategic transactions, our general operating costs and expenditures, and the changing needs of our business.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common shares in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per common share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per common share immediately after the closing of this offering. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding common shares. As of December 31, 2023, our unaudited net tangible book value was $5.5 million or $0.61 per share.

The net proceeds from our sale of 1,700,000 common shares in this offering at the public offering price of $1.90 per share, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023, would have been $8.3 million, or $0.78 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.17 per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $1.12 per share to investors purchasing common shares in this offering.

We calculate dilution per share to new investors by subtracting the as adjusted net tangible book value per share from the public offering price paid by the new investor. The following table illustrates the dilution to new investors on a per share basis:

Public offering price per share         $1.90  
Historical net tangible book value per share as of December 31, 2023   $0.61        
Increase in as adjusted net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering         $0.17  
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering         $0.78  
Dilution in as adjusted net tangible book value per share in this offering         $1.12  

The foregoing calculations as of December 31, 2023 and excludes as of such date:

  • Approximately 49,000 options held by our employees, directors and certain consultants to purchase common shares under the Company's 2022 Incentive Compensation Plan and its previous "rolling" stock option plan at a weighted average exercise price of $27.04 per share, of which approximately 44,000 options were exercisable as of June 30, 2023, at a weighted average exercise price of $9.90 per share;
  • common shares issuable upon the exercise of approximately 2,384,000 warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2023 at a weighted average exercise price of $9.90 per share.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

The following description is a summary of some of the terms of the securities we are offering. The descriptions in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus of the securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, our organizational documents, copies of which have been or will be filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus form a part. This summary supplements the description of our common shares in the accompanying base prospectus and, to the extent it is inconsistent, replaces the description in the accompanying base prospectus.


We are offering 1,700,000 common shares.

Common Shares

The material terms and provisions of our common shares are described under the heading "Description of Common Shares" starting on page 3 of the accompanying base prospectus.


UNDERWRITING

Aegis Capital Corp., or Aegis or the underwriter, is the underwriter and the book-running manager of this offering. Under the terms of an underwriting agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement, we have agreed to sell to the underwriter and the underwriter has agreed to purchase, at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, the following number of common shares:

Underwriter   Number of
common shares
Aegis Capital Corp.   1,700,000

The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriter's obligation to purchase common shares depends on the satisfaction of the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement including:

  • the representations and warranties made by us to the underwriter are true;
  • there is no material change in our business or the financial markets; and
  • we deliver customary closing documents to the underwriter.

The underwriter has agreed to purchase all of the common shares offered by this prospectus, if any are purchased under the underwriting agreement.

The underwriter is offering the common shares subject to various conditions and may reject all or part of any order. The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the common shares directly to the public at the public offering price per common share that appears on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. In addition, the representative may offer some of the common shares to other securities dealers at such price less a concession of $0.133 per share for underwriter-introduced investors and $0.057 per share for Company-introduced investors. After the common shares are released for sale to the public, the representative may change the offering price and other selling terms at various times.

Underwriting Discounts and Expenses

The following table shows the per share and total underwriting discounts we will pay to Aegis. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriter's option to purchase additional securities.

    Per Share     Total  
Public offering price   $ 1.90   $ 3,230,000  
Underwriting discounts and commissions(1)   $ 0.133   $ 68,994  
Underwriting discounts and commissions for Company introduced investors(2)     0.057     67,331  
Proceeds, before expenses, to us(3)   $ 1.82   $ 3,093,675  

____________

(1) We have agreed to provide the underwriter an underwriting discount of 7.0% for underwriter-introduced investors. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain expenses.

(2) We have agreed to provide the underwriter an underwriting discount of 3.0% for Company-introduced investors. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain expenses.

(3) The proceeds, after deducting the underwriter's fees, but before deducting the expenses of the Offering, are estimated to be approximately U.S.$3,093,675.

We have also agreed to reimburse the underwriter for certain of its expenses, including "roadshow," diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements, in an amount not to exceed $75,000 in the aggregate. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding underwriting discounts, will be approximately $260,000.

Stabilization


In accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the underwriter may engage in activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common shares, including short sales and purchases to cover positions created by short positions, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making.

  • Short positions involve sales by the underwriter of common shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriter is obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares involved in the sales made by the underwriter in excess of the number of shares they are obligated to purchase is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase by exercising their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriter may close out any short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares or purchasing shares in the open market.
  • Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security as long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specific maximum price.
  • Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of our common shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriter will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares. If the underwriter sells more shares than could be covered by the underwriter's option to purchase additional shares, thereby creating a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriter is concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
  • Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the common shares originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.
  • In passive market making, market makers in our common shares who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchase our common shares until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our common shares or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our common shares. As a result of these activities, the price of our common shares may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our Common Shares. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter makes any representation that Aegis will engage in these stabilizing transactions or that any transaction, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

Discretionary Accounts

The underwriter has informed us that they do not expect to make sales to accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority in excess of five percent (5%) of the securities being offered in this offering.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify Aegis, its affiliates, and each person controlling Aegis against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs, and other liabilities, as the same are incurred (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), relating to or arising out of the offering, undertaken in good faith.

Lock-Up Agreements

Pursuant to certain "lock-up" agreements, our executive officers, directors, employees and holders of at least 10% of our Company's common shares and securities exercisable for or convertible into its common shares outstanding immediately upon the closing of this offering, have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of or announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, or enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of, directly or indirectly, engage in any short selling of any Common Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any common shares ("Lock-Up Securities"), whether currently owned or subsequently acquired, without the prior written consent of the underwriter, for a period of ninety (90) days after the closing date of the offering.


The underwriter, in its sole discretion, may release the common shares and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time. When determining whether or not to release common shares and other securities from lock-up agreements, the underwriter will consider, among other factors, the holder's reasons for requesting the release, the number of common shares and other securities for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

Company Standstill

We have agreed, for a period of ninety (90) days after the closing date of the offering (the "Standstill Period"), that without the prior written consent of Aegis, we will not (a) offer, sell, issue, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any equity of our Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of our Company; (b) file or caused to be filed any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any equity of our Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for equity of our Company; or (c) enter into any agreement or announce the intention to effect any of the actions described in subsections (a) or (b) hereof (all of such matters, the "Standstill Restrictions"). So long as none of such equity securities shall be saleable in the public market until the expiration of the Standstill Period, the following matters shall not be prohibited by the Standstill Restrictions: (i) the adoption of an equity incentive plan and the grant of awards or equity pursuant to any equity incentive plan, and the filing of a registration statement on Form S-8; and (ii) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of our Company, provided that such securities are issued as "restricted securities" (as defined in Rule 144) and carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of any registration statement in connection therewith during the Standstill Period, and provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of our Company and shall provide to our Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which our Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities. In no event should any equity transaction during the Standstill Period result in the sale of equity at an offering price to the public less than that of this offering.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2022 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

  • Our limited operating history and net losses;
  • changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;
  • decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;
  • damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
  • exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
  • risks associated with product recalls;
  • product viability;
  • continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
  • shelf life of inventory;
  • our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire;
  • maintenance of effective quality control systems;
  • changes to energy prices and supply;
  • risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
  • regulatory compliance risks;
  • opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
  • unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;
  • risks related to our operations in Colombia, including the closing of the sale thereof; and
  • potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

We may issue warrants to purchase our common shares. The warrants may be issued independently or together with common shares offered by this prospectus and may be attached to or separate from those common shares.

While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any warrants that we offer.

We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the common shares purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

We may issue warrants in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, including, when applicable, the following:

  • the title of the warrants;
  • the aggregate number of the warrants;
  • the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
  • the designation, number, and terms of common shares purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
  • the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common shares will be separately transferable;
  • the price at which each common share purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
  • the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which such right will expire;
  • the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
  • any information with respect to book-entry procedures;
  • the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale, or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;
  • any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange, and exercise of such warrants;
  • the terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration of, the warrants;
  • the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which that right expires;
  • the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
  • any other specific terms, preferences, rights, or limitations of, or restrictions on, the warrants.

Table of Contents

Unless specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, warrants will be in registered form only.

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including any rights to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent set forth under the heading "Warrant Adjustments" below.

Exercise of Warrants

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash common shares at the applicable exercise price set forth in, or determined as described in, the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or a part of the exercise price for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date of the warrants, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the corporation trust office of the warrant agent or any other officer indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement (a) the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed and (b) payment of the amount due upon exercise. As soon as practicable following exercise, we will issue the underlying common shares subject to such exercise to the applicable warrant holder. If less than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements

We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.

Warrant Adjustments

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of common shares covered by, a warrant will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine our common shares. In addition, unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we, without payment:

  • issue capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire common shares, as a dividend or distribution to holders of our common shares;
  • pay any cash to holders of our common shares other than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings;
  • issue any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase our indebtedness to holders of our common shares; or
  • issue common shares or additional stock or other securities or property to holders of our common shares by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares, or similar corporate rearrangement,

then the holders of warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition to the common shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the amount of stock and other securities and property such holders would have been entitled to receive had they held the common shares issuable under the warrants on the dates on which holders of those securities received or became entitled to receive such additional stock and other securities and property.

Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of securities covered by a warrant, and the amounts of other securities or property to be received, if any, upon exercise of those warrants, will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities.


Table of Contents

Holders of warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

  • certain reclassifications, capital reorganizations, or changes of the common shares;
  • certain share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us and which result in changes of the common shares; or
  • certain sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common shares are entitled to receive stock, securities, or other property with respect to or in exchange for their common shares, the holders of the warrants then outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised their warrants immediately before the transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with common shares and warrants offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any units that we offer.

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units and the unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

General

We may issue units consisting of common shares and warrants. 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 security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit are immediately separable or otherwise may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the following:

  • 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 below; and
  • any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under "Description of Common Shares" and "Description of Warrants," will apply to each unit and to any common share or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

Issuance in Series

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

Each unit agent, if any, will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

Title

We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities offered hereby from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents and/or (3) directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

  • at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

  • at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

  • at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

  • at negotiated prices.

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities.

If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.

An underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with applicable securities laws. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bidders to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the prices of the securities to be higher than they would otherwise be. The underwriters may engage in these activities on any exchange or other market in which the securities may be traded. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
