DESCRIPTION OF EQUITY SECURITIES

General

The following summary of the rights of our Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock does not purport to be complete. This summary is subject to and qualified by the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (our “charter”), the Articles Supplementary to our charter setting forth the terms of the Class C Stock (our “articles supplementary”), our Third Amended and Restated Bylaws (our “bylaws”), and the terms of the Class C Settlement Agreement (as defined below), which are incorporated herein by reference. Additionally, the Maryland General Company Law (“MGCL”) also affects the terms of our capital stock.

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 834,450,000 shares, par value $0.0003 1/3 per share, of which:

 

   

400,000,000 shares are classified and designated as Class A Common Stock (“Class A Stock”);

 

   

34,450,000 shares are classified and designated as Class Convertible B Common Stock (“Class B Stock”); and

 

   

400,000,000 shares are classified and designated as Class C Common Stock (“Class C Stock”).

Our charter and articles supplementary provide for (1) the Class A Stock, which has one vote per share; (2) the Class B Stock, which has 10 votes per share; and (3) the Class C Stock, which has no voting rights in the election of directors and only limited voting rights described below. Except as described herein or expressly provided in our charter, the powers, preferences and rights of the holders of Class A Stock, Class B Stock and Class C Stock, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, are in all material respects identical.

As of December 31, 2018, there were 187,710,319 shares of Class A Stock, 34,450,000 shares of Class B Stock and 226,421,963 of Class C Stock outstanding. At that date, there were no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Capital Stock

Voting Rights

Holders of shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock have identical voting rights, except that holders of shares of Class A Stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of shares of Class B Stock are entitled to 10 votes per share. In addition, amendments to certain specified provisions of the charter that set forth the terms of the Class A Stock and have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Class A Stock must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by holders of Class A Stock, voting as a single class, and amendments to certain specified provisions of the charter that set forth the terms of the Class B Stock and have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Class B Stock must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by holders of Class B Stock, voting as a single class.

Holders of shares of Class C Stock have no voting rights, except:

 

   

as may be required by law;

 

   

with respect to amendments to the provisions of the charter that set forth the terms of the Class C Stock and have a material adverse effect on the rights of the Class C Stock, which require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by holders of Class C Stock, voting as a single class;

 

   

with respect to amendments to, or waivers of, the provisions of the charter requiring that shares of Class C Stock be treated in a manner that is at least as favorable as shares of Class B Stock in certain merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, conversion and negotiated tender offer transactions, which must be declared advisable by our board of directors, including at least 75% of the Independent Directors (as defined in the charter to, among other things, exclude members of Mr. Plank’s family and directors having a material financial or service relationship to Mr. Plank or his family), and approved by at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by the holders of (1) Class C Stock (other than Kevin A. Plank, the Kevin A. Plank Family Entities (which are defined in our charter as entities controlled by Mr. Plank or his wife or children), the Kevin A. Plank Family Members (as defined in the charter) or executive officers of the Company), voting as a single class, and (2) Class B Stock, voting as a single class; and

 

   

upon the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock into shares of Class A Stock, upon which holders of shares of Class C Stock will immediately have voting rights equal to holders of shares of Class A Stock and will vote together with the Class A Stock as a single class.

 

7


There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, the holders of shares of Class C Stock will be entitled to share equally with the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock, on a per share basis, in any dividends that our board of directors may authorize and we may pay from time to time. In the event that a dividend is paid in the form of shares of Class A Stock or Class B Stock, or rights to acquire shares of Class A Stock or Class B Stock, the holders of shares of Class C Stock shall receive shares of Class C Stock, or rights to acquire shares of Class C Stock, as the case may be, in an equal amount per share.

Liquidation Rights

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of Class C Stock will be entitled to share proportionately, on a per share basis, with the holders of the Class A Stock and Class B Stock in the assets of the Company available for distribution after payment of any liabilities and the liquidation preferences on any outstanding preferred stock.

Conversion

Class A Stock

Shares of Class A Stock are not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock.

Class B Stock

Mr. Plank or Kevin A. Plank Family Entities beneficially own all outstanding shares of Class B Stock. Each share of Class B Stock is convertible at any time at the option of Mr. Plank into one share of Class A Stock.

In addition, each share of Class B Stock automatically converts into one share of Class A Stock upon any sale, pledge, transfer, assignment or disposition (each a “Transfer”) of such share of Class B Stock to any person, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers between Mr. Plank and any Kevin A. Plank Family Entity, or pledges that do not grant the pledgee the power to vote or direct the vote of the pledged share or direct the disposition of the pledged share, in each case prior to default.

Each share of Class B Stock will be automatically converted into one share of Class A Stock such that no shares of Class B Stock remain outstanding upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

   

A record date for any meeting of the Company’s stockholders, if the aggregate number of shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock beneficially owned on such record date by Mr. Plank and each Kevin A. Plank Family Entity, when taken together, is less than 15.0% of the total number of shares of Class A Stock and Class B Stock outstanding on that record date, (ii) the death of Mr. Plank or (iii) Mr. Plank’s ceasing to be affiliated with the Company in any capacity as a result of a permanent disability.

 

   

The termination of Mr. Plank as our Chief Executive Officer (or another position approved by Mr. Plank and a majority of our Independent Directors) for “Cause” (as defined in the Confidentiality, Non-Competition, and Non-Solicitation Agreement, dated as of June 15, 2015, between the Company and Kevin A. Plank, as amended on April 7, 2016, and as it may be further amended from time to time with the approval of at least 75% of the Independent Directors (the “Non-Compete Agreement”)) in accordance with the terms of the Non-Compete Agreement or upon the resignation of Mr. Plank as such an officer.

 

8


   

A Transfer Conversion Time, which means the time at which Mr. Plank, together with all Kevin A. Plank Family Entities, has Transferred, in the aggregate, from and after March 28, 2016, a number of shares of Class A Stock and Class C Stock exceeding the Permitted Sale Amount (as defined below) then in effect.

For purposes of determining the occurrence of the Transfer Conversion Time, (i) all Transfers of Class A Stock or Class C Stock by Mr. Plank or a Kevin A Plank Family Entity to Kevin A. Plank or a Kevin A Plank Family Entity are disregarded; (ii) a pledge of shares of Class A Stock or Class C Stock, prior to default thereunder, which does not grant to the pledgee the power to vote or direct the vote of the pledged share or the power to vote or direct the disposition of the pledged share prior to a default, without any foreclosure or transfer of ownership, is not deemed a Transfer of such shares of Class A Stock or Class C Stock; (iii) in the event shares of Class B Stock have been automatically converted into shares of Class A Stock in connection with a purported direct or indirect Transfer of shares of Class B Stock, such shares of Class A Stock are deemed to have been Transferred by Mr. Plank and the Kevin A Plank Family Entities; and (iv) the withholding by the Company of shares of Class A Stock or Class C Stock otherwise deliverable to Mr. Plank pursuant to any equity compensation award for the purpose of satisfying the exercise price of such equity compensation award on a cashless basis or to cover tax withholding obligations with respect to the vesting or exercise of such equity compensation award is not considered a Transfer of such shares.

The “Permitted Sale Amount” initially means 2,500,000 shares minus two times the number of shares of Class A Stock Transferred (or deemed Transferred) by Mr. Plank or a Kevin A Plank Family Entity between January 1, 2016 and March 28, 2016. The Permitted Sale Amount will be increased by 2,500,000 shares as of January 1 of each calendar year beginning on January 1, 2017. In the event of any split, subdivision, combination or reclassification of the shares of Class A Stock, Class B Stock and Class C Stock (including a split effected by a dividend paid in shares of common stock on all outstanding shares of common stock) after the initial distribution of the Class C Stock (the “Class C Dividend”) (but not including the Class C Dividend), proportional adjustments will be made to the Permitted Sale Amount and in calculating the number of shares of Class A Stock and Class C Stock Transferred prior thereto for purposes of determining the occurrence of the Transfer Conversion Time.

Once converted into shares of Class A Stock, shares of Class B Stock are retired and may not be reissued.

Class C Stock

Upon conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock into shares of Class A Stock, the Class C Stock will immediately have voting rights equal to the Class A Stock and be entitled to vote together with the Class A Stock as a single class on all matters, and the Class C Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Stock on a one-for-one basis on a date fixed by the Company that is as soon as reasonably practicable and in accordance with our charter and any further procedures required by the Company. The Class C Stock is not otherwise convertible into any other class of capital stock.

Equal Treatment

In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, statutory share exchange between the Company and any other entity or conversion of the Company into another entity (whether or not the Company is the surviving entity) or a third party tender offer entered into pursuant to an agreement with the Company (a “Negotiated Tender Offer”), each holder of shares of Class C Stock or Class A Stock will be entitled to receive the same consideration as each holder of shares of Class B Stock on a per share basis, and each holder of shares of Class C Stock or Class A Stock will be entitled to receive the same consideration on a per share basis as each holder of shares of Class B Stock is entitled to receive on a per share basis in connection with a transfer of such shares of Class B Stock incidental to such a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, conversion or Negotiated Tender Offer, even if the consideration for such transfer is not paid as consideration in such merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, conversion or Negotiated Tender Offer.

However, any amounts paid to Mr. Plank as compensation for services rendered or to be rendered by Mr. Plank to the Company or any acquiring entity or any of their respective affiliates (for example, participating in a retention bonus pool established in connection with a proposed merger or compensation paid for pre- or post-merger services), which payment was approved by a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on our board of directors, will not be deemed to be part of such consideration.

Class C Settlement Agreement

In connection with the creation of our Class C Stock, the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (the “Court”) approved a settlement entered into by the Company, each of its directors and the plaintiffs in the class action litigation regarding the authorization of the distribution of the Class C Stock captioned In re: Under Armour Shareholder Litigation, Case No. 24-C-15-003240. The Court approved the settlement terms as stipulated by the parties (the “Settlement Agreement”). The Settlement Agreement included certain non-monetary remedies, including an amendment to the Non-Compete Agreement and an agreement that the Company will not, within four years following April 7, 2016, use shares of Class C Stock in an amount equal to or greater than 5% of the then outstanding shares of Class C Stock as consideration in a transaction to acquire a business, the assets of a business, or more than 50% of the outstanding capital stock of a business, unless our Independent Directors (or a designated committee composed entirely of Independent Directors) have first considered the effects (which consideration may involve measures, advisers, or procedures as they deem advisable in discharging their duties as directors) of using such shares of Class C Stock on the holders of Class A Stock and on the Company.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue, from time to time, without approval by our stockholders, preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may determine the number of shares constituting that series and may fix the distinctive designations, preferences, voting powers, conversion or other rights and any other restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of a series of preferred stock. Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute the voting power or rights of the holders of Class A Stock, Class B Stock, and Class C Stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Under Armour, Inc. and might harm the market price of our Class A Stock or Class C Stock.

The particular terms of any series of preferred stock offered by us will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series of preferred stock. Those terms relating to the series of preferred stock offered may include:

Our board of directors are authorized from time to time to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of the capital stock by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications or terms and conditions of redemption of such shares and, in such event, we will file for record with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland articles supplementary in substance and form as prescribed by Maryland law.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Maryland Law and Our Charter and Bylaws

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws and of the MGCL could have the effect of delaying, deferring, or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us.

Three Classes of Stock

Our Class B Stock has 10 votes per share, while our Class A Stock has one vote per share and our Class C Stock has no voting rights (other than as described above). As a result of his beneficial ownership of all of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock, Mr. Plank currently has the ability to elect all of our directors and to determine the outcome of most matters submitted for a vote of our stockholders. This concentrated voting control could discourage others from initiating any potential merger, takeover, or other change of control transaction that other stockholders may view as beneficial.

Because the Class C Stock has no voting rights (other than as described above), the issuance of Class C Stock will not result in voting dilution to the holders of shares Class A Stock or Class B Stock. The issuance of Class C Stock could, however, prolong the duration of Mr. Plank’s ownership of a majority of our voting power and his ability to elect all of our directors and to determine the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.

So long as Mr. Plank has the ability to determine the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, third parties may be deterred in their willingness to make an unsolicited merger, takeover, or other change of control proposal, or to engage in a proxy contest for the election of directors.

Board of Directors

Our charter and bylaws provide that the number of our directors may be established by our board of directors, provided that the number of directors must be between one and 15 directors. Our charter provides that any vacancy will be filled by a majority of the remaining directors.

Our board of directors is not currently classified and, although it would otherwise be permissible under Maryland law for our board of directors to become classified without stockholder approval, we have included a provision in our charter prohibiting the classification of our board of directors without the recommendation of our board of directors and the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such matter by holders of our common stock.

Removal of Directors

Our charter provides that a director may be removed only for cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast in the election of the director to be removed.

Business Combinations

Our charter contains a provision opting out of the Maryland business combination statute, which would otherwise prohibit specified business combinations between the Company and any interested stockholder or affiliate of an interested stockholder for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder.

Control Share Acquisitions

Our bylaws contain a provision exempting any and all acquisitions of our shares from the provisions of the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act, which provides that control shares of a Maryland Company acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. However, our board of directors may opt to make these provisions applicable to future control share acquisitions at any time by amending or repealing this bylaw provision.

 

11


Consideration of Constituencies

Maryland law provides that our charter may allow our board of directors, in considering a potential acquisition of control of the Company, to consider the effects of the change of control on stockholders, employees, suppliers, customers and creditors of the Company, and the communities in which offices or other establishments of the Company are located. Our charter contains this type of provision, which may enable our board of directors to make adverse recommendations to our stockholders with respect to a potential acquisition or takeover.

Amendment to the Charter

Our charter generally may be amended only upon the recommendation of the board of directors and the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, except that a majority of the entire board of directors may, without action by our stockholders, approve amendments to our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue. However, our charter provisions regarding removal of directors, vacancies on the board of directors and amendment of the bylaws may be amended only by the affirmative vote of holders of not less than two-thirds of all of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote on the matter.

In addition, amendments to the provisions of our charter that set forth the terms of one of our three classes of common stock (Class A Stock, Class B Stock and Class C Stock) and that have a material adverse effect on the rights of such class of stock must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by holders of such class of capital stock. Amendments to or waivers of the provisions of our charter requiring that the holders of Class A Stock and Class C Stock receive equal treatment as the holders of Class B Stock in connection with certain merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, conversion and Negotiated Tender Offer transactions must be declared advisable by our board of directors, including at least 75% of the Independent Directors, and approved by at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by the holders of (1) Class A Stock and/or Class C Stock (other than Mr. Plank, any Kevin A. Plank Family Entity, any Kevin A. Plank Family Member or any executive officer of the Company), as applicable, each voting as a single class, and (2) Class B Stock, voting as a single class. Amendments to the provisions of our charter requiring us to maintain a majority of Independent Directors and independent compensation and corporate governance committees, and providing that an Independent Director may not have any family relationship with Mr. Plank, or material financial or service relationship with Mr. Plank or any members of his family (in addition to the independence requirements to which we are subject under the listing standards of any exchange upon which our stock is listed) must be declared advisable by our board of directors, including at least 75% of the Independent Directors, and approved by at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast thereon by the holders of (1) Class A Stock (other than Mr. Plank, any Kevin A. Plank Family Entity, any Kevin A. Plank Family Member or any executive officer of the Company), voting as a single class, and (2) Class B Stock, voting as a single class.

Undesignated Preferred Stock

The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring or preventing hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our Company.

Advance Notice of Director Nominations and New Business

Our bylaws provide that with respect to an annual meeting of stockholders, nominations of persons for election to our board of directors and the proposal of business to be considered by stockholders may be made only:

 

   

pursuant to our notice of the meeting;

 

   

by our board of directors; or

 

   

by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice and at the time of the meeting, is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the advance notice procedures specified in the bylaws.

 

12


Therefore, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed. These provisions may also discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Special Meeting of Stockholders

Our bylaws provide that a special meeting of stockholders may be called by our chairman, president, chief executive officer or a majority of our board of directors. In addition, our secretary must also call a special meeting of stockholders upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at that meeting.

Majority Action

Our charter provides that any corporate action which, under the general laws of the State of Maryland would (in the absence of a provision in our charter) require the authorization or approval of a greater proportion than a majority of all votes entitled to be cast for such action to be effective and valid, shall be effective and valid if authorized or approved by at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our capital stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing

Our Class A Stock and Class C Stock are listed on NYSE under the symbols “UAA” and “UA” respectively. Our Class B Stock is not listed on any stock market or exchange.

General

We may offer warrants, including warrants to purchase Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Class A Stock, Class C Stock or other securities, property or assets (including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices), as well as other types of warrants. We may offer warrants independently or together with other securities offered under this prospectus, and they may be attached to or separate from those securities. We will issue the warrants under one or more warrant agreements between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, that we will describe in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants we offer.

The following is a summary of certain general terms and provisions of the warrants, but they are not complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the warrant agreement and the warrant certificate relating to the warrants. Forms of these documents will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, either by an amendment to the registration statement or by a Current Report on Form 8-K.

the aggregate number of the debt warrants;

 

   

the price or prices at which we will issue the debt warrants, the principal amount of debt securities that you may purchase upon exercise of each debt warrant and the price or prices at which such principal amount may be purchased upon exercise;

 

   

currency, currencies, or currency units, if other than in U.S. dollars, in which such debt warrants are to be issued or for which the debt warrants may be exercised;

 

   

the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the debt warrants;

14


We will also describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any provisions for a change in the exercise price or expiration date of the warrants and the kind, frequency and timing of any notice to be given. You may exchange debt warrant certificates for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations and may exercise debt warrants at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office that we indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement. Prior to exercise, you will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities purchasable upon that exercise and will not be entitled to payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities purchasable upon the exercise.

Other Warrants

We may issue other warrants for Preferred Stock, Class A Stock, Class C Stock or other securities, property or assets (including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices), as well as other types of warrants. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the following terms of those warrants:

the securities, which may include Preferred Stock, Class A Stock, Class C Stock or other securities, property or assets (including rights to receive payment in cash or securities based on the value, rate or price of one or more specified commodities, currencies, securities or indices), for which you may exercise the warrants;

 

   

the aggregate number of the warrants;

 

   

the price or prices at which we will issue the warrants, the number of securities or amount of other property or assets that you may purchase upon exercise of each warrant and the price or prices at which such securities, property or assets may be purchased;

15


and the exercise price. You may exercise a warrant as described in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date stated in the prospectus supplement. Unexercised warrants will become void after the close of business on the expiration date, or any later expiration date that we determine.

We will forward the securities purchasable upon the exercise as soon as practicable after receipt of payment and the properly completed and executed warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or other office stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. If you exercise less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue you a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

 

16


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell securities, separately or in combination, in one or more of the following ways:

 

   

to or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters;

 

   

through one or more underwriters without a syndicate for them to offer and sell to the public;

 

   

through dealers or agents; or

 

   

directly to investors.

The securities we distribute by any of these methods may be sold to the public, in one or more transactions, either:

 

   

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

 

   

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

   

at prices related to prevailing market prices; or

 

   

at negotiated prices.

We may sell securities from time to time to one or more underwriters, who would purchase the securities as principal for resale to the public, either on a firm-commitment or best-efforts basis. If we sell securities to underwriters, we may execute an underwriting agreement with them at the time of sale and will name them in the applicable prospectus supplement. In connection with those sales, underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the securities for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters may resell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from purchasers for whom they may act as agents. The applicable prospectus supplement will include any required information about underwriting compensation we pay to underwriters, and any discounts, concessions or commissions underwriters allow to participating dealers, in connection with an offering of securities.

We may solicit offers to purchase securities directly from the public from time to time. We may also designate agents from time to time to solicit offers to purchase securities from the public on our behalf. If required, the applicable prospectus supplement relating to any particular offering of securities will name any agents designated to solicit offers, and will include information about any commissions we may pay the agents, in that offering. Agents may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act.

From time to time, we may sell securities to one or more dealers acting as principals. The dealers, who may be deemed to be “underwriters” as that term is defined in the Securities Act, may then resell those securities to the public.

Any underwriter or agent involved in the offer and sale of any securities will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, agents and dealers may be entitled, under agreements with us, to indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase any securities will be conditioned on customary closing conditions and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such series of securities, if any are purchased.

In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales.

 

17


Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they are required to purchase in an offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases made for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities while an offering is in progress.

The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriters have repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that automated quotation system, or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their affiliates may engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their businesses.

 

18

Stanton, Executive Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary of the Company, or by any Counsel, Senior Counsel or Deputy General Counsel of the Company, and by Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, New York, New York, to the extent governed by New York law.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, the directors and officers of the Company may be entitled to indemnification in respect of threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceedings”), to which they are made a party by reason of their position as a director or officer of the Company. In the case of conduct in their official capacity with the Company, directors and officers will be entitled to indemnification unless the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty or the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services. In the case of criminal proceedings the director or the officer also must have had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct was unlawful.

If the director or officer is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any proceeding, the director or officer will be entitled to indemnification against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceedings regardless of whether the foregoing standards are met. In addition, a court of appropriate jurisdiction may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer has met the foregoing standards, or if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances.

Any indemnification required or permitted by the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or officer in connection with the proceeding. However, if the proceeding is by or in the right of the Company, indemnification may be made only against expenses and may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the director or officer is adjudged to be liable to the Company.

Under the Company’s charter, the monetary liability of directors and officers to the Company or its stockholders is eliminated except for, and to the extent of, actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, or in respect of a judgment or other final adjudication based on a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

 

II-1


The Company also maintains for the benefit of its directors and officers insurance covering certain liabilities asserted against or incurred by such persons in their capacity as, or as a result of their position as, director or officer of the Company. This insurance may afford protection for liabilities not subject to indemnification under the Company’s by-laws and the Maryland General Corporation Law.

The form of Underwriting Agreement of the Company is expected to provide for indemnification of the Company and its directors, officers and certain other persons under certain circumstances described therein by each underwriter participating in an offering of securities.

Undertakings

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent 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;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) 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

(ii) 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 415(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 a 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.

(5) 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 prospectus 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) 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 Section 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.

(c) To supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

(d) 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
