KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
We are a
pharmaceuticals company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of small molecule serine protease inhibitors as new treatments for diseases with significant unmet needs.
Our initial focus is on inhibitors of plasma kallikrein, which is an important component of the bodys inflammatory response, and which in excess can
lead to increased vascular permeability, edema and inflammation. We have developed a proprietary portfolio of novel, small molecule plasma kallikrein inhibitors initially targeting hereditary angioedema (
HAE
) and diabetic macular
edema (
DME
). In August 2016, we commenced a Phase I first-in-human clinical trial for KVD818, the first of our orally delivered molecules for the treatment of HAE. Our most advanced program, an intravitreally administered plasma
kallikrein inhibitor known as KVD001, has successfully completed its
first-in-human
study in patients with DME and is being prepared for Phase 2 studies in 2017.
Corporate Information

incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 26, 2004 as Sentrx Surgical, Inc. Our name changed to Carbylan Biosurgery, Inc. on December 14, 2005 and to Carbylan Therapeutics, Inc. on March 7, 2014. In June 2016, we entered into a

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider carefully the
risks and uncertainties described under the section captioned Risk Factors contained in our definitive proxy statement filed on October 28, 2016 and our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other filings we make with the
SEC from time to time, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, together with other information in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. If any of these risks actually occurs, our
business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer materially. In such event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included or incorporated in this
prospectus regarding our strategy, future operations, clinical trials, collaborations, intellectual property, cash resources, financial position, future revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management are forward-looking
statements. The words believes, anticipates, estimates, plans, expects, intends, may, could, should, potential,
likely, projects, continue, will, and would and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these
identifying words. We cannot guarantee that we actually will achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. There are a number of
important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated or implied by forward-looking statements. See Risk Factors contained in our definitive proxy statement filed on October 28, 2016, our
most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in this prospectus for more information. These factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference should be read as being applicable to all
related forward-looking statements whenever they appear in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the date that this prospectus is filed with the
SEC and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders as of
December 2, 2016.
The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholders has been obtained from the selling stockholders. When
we refer to the selling stockholders in this prospectus, we mean the selling stockholders listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as their respective pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest.
We do not know if, when or in what amounts the selling stockholders may offer their shares for sale. The selling stockholders may sell some, all or none of
the shares offered by this prospectus. Because the number of shares the selling stockholders may offer and sell is not presently known, and because there are currently no agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of
the shares, we cannot estimate the number of shares that will be held by each selling stockholder after completion of this offering. This table, however, presents the maximum number of shares of common stock that the selling stockholders may offer
pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of common stock that would be beneficially owned after the sale of the maximum number of shares of common stock by each selling stockholder.
5
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and includes voting or investment
power with respect to shares. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, each selling stockholder named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock beneficially owned by it. The inclusion of
any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any selling stockholder named below.

As a result of the consummation of the Transaction, and after giving effect to a 14-for-1 reverse stock split,
each outstanding share of KalVista Limited ordinary and preferred shares then outstanding was canceled and automatically converted into and became the right to receive approximately 0.29112 shares of our common stock. The exchange ratio was
calculated by a formula that was determined through arms-length negotiations between us and KalVista Limited. In connection with the Transaction and in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement, defined below, we have filed this registration
statement to register the shares of our common stock received by the selling stockholders in the Transaction for resale in the public markets.
Concurrently with the execution of the Share Purchase Agreement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders relating to the
registration for resale of the shares of our common stock received by the selling stockholders in the private placement (the
Registration Rights Agreement
). The Registration Rights Agreement contains customary covenants and
agreements by us, and customary indemnification obligations of us and the selling stockholders, including for liabilities under the Securities Act. The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part has been filed in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement.
The foregoing summary descriptions of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to
be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which were filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K, dated November 21, 2016, and are incorporated by reference herein.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares of common stock listed in the table appearing under Selling Stockholders are being registered to permit public
secondary trading of these shares by the holders of such shares from time to time after the date of this prospectus. Registration of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those shares necessarily will be
offered or sold. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders. To our knowledge, the selling stockholders have not entered into any arrangements or understandings with any underwriter,
broker-dealer or agent with respect to the sale of the shares covered by this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may sell such shares
from time to time directly to purchasers (including pledgees) or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change
or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
|
|
|
through The NASDAQ Stock Market or on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
|
|
|
|
in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
|
|
|
|
through the exercise of purchased or written options;
|
|
|
|
through a combination of any such methods; or
|
|
|
|
through any other method permitted under applicable law and our insider trading policy.
|
In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as
agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. Broker-dealer transactions may include:
|
|
|
a block trade in which a broker-dealer may resell all or part of the block, as principal or agent, in order to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
|
purchases by a broker-dealer, as principal, and a subsequent resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
|
|
pledges of shares to a broker-dealer, who may, in the event of default, purchase or sell the pledged shares; or
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker solicits purchasers on behalf of the selling stockholders.
|
In addition, selling stockholders who are neither an employee of ours nor otherwise subject to our insider trading policy may enter into
option, derivative or hedging transactions with respect to the shares, and any related offers or sales of shares may be made pursuant to this prospectus. For example, the selling stockholders may:
|
|
|
enter into transactions involving short sales of the shares by broker-dealers in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders;
|
|
|
|
sell shares short themselves and deliver the shares registered hereby to settle such short sales or to close out stock loans incurred in connection with their short positions;
|
|
|
|
write call options, put options or other derivative instruments (including exchange-traded options or privately negotiated options) with respect to the shares, or which they settle through delivery of the shares;
|
|
|
|
enter into option transactions or other types of transactions that require the selling stockholder to deliver shares to a broker, dealer or other financial institution, who may then resell or transfer the shares under
this prospectus; or
|
|
|
|
lend the shares to a broker, dealer or other financial institution, which may sell the lent shares.
|
9
These option, derivative and hedging transactions may require the delivery to a broker, dealer or
other financial institution of shares offered hereby, and such broker, dealer or other financial institution may resell such shares pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, agents or underwriters participating in transactions as agent may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions from the selling stockholders (and, if they act as agent for the purchaser of the shares, from such purchaser). The discounts, concessions or commissions as to a particular broker, dealer, agent or underwriter might be in excess of
those customary in the type of transaction involved.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents that
participate in such distribution may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents might be deemed to be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling stockholders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. Any selling stockholder who is an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder relating to stock manipulation. The selling stockholders may indemnify underwriters,
brokers, dealers or agents that participate in transactions involving sales of the shares against specific liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to this offering of the shares by the selling stockholders to the public other than
commissions and discounts of underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents.
In order to comply with certain states securities laws, if
applicable, the shares sold in those jurisdictions may only be sold through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in that
state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
We do not assure you that the selling
stockholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them pursuant to this prospectus. In addition, we do not assure you that the selling stockholders will not transfer, devise or gift the shares by other means not described in this
prospectus. Moreover, any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
We may suspend the use of this prospectus for a limited period of time if (a) suspension is necessary to delay the disclosure of material
non-public information concerning us, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in our good faith opinion, in our best interest, (b) suspension is necessary to amend or supplement the prospectus so that it does not include an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated herein or necessary to make the statements herein, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (c) it would be materially detrimental to
us to maintain the prospectus, or (d) it is in our best interests to suspend sales under such registration at such time. If these types of events occur, a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, if required, will be distributed to
each selling stockholder.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of our capital stock is intended as a summary only and therefore is not complete. This description is based upon, and is qualified
by reference to, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, each as amended from time to time, and by applicable provisions of Delaware corporate law. You should read our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and our Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, for the provisions that are important to you.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par
value per share. As of December 2, 2016, 9,925,214 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were outstanding.
Common Stock
Voting
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the
election of directors, and do not have cumulative voting rights. Accordingly, the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock entitled to vote in any election of directors can elect all of the directors standing for election.
Dividends
Subject to preferences that may be
applicable to any then outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds.
Liquidation
In the event of our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities, subject to the satisfaction of
any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Rights and Preferences
Holders of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our
common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the
future.
Fully Paid and Nonassessable
All of
our outstanding shares of common stock are, and the shares of common stock to be issued in this offering will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
American Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, LLC is our transfer agent and registrar for the common stock.
11
The NASDAQ Global Market
Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol KALV.
Preferred Stock
Under the terms of our
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our board of directors have the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time
the number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of each wholly unissued series and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, and to increase or decrease the number
of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of
preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock. The purpose of authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock and determine its rights and
preferences is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. 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 us and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. It is not possible to state the
actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and Delaware Law
Delaware Anti-Takeover Law
We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a
publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a three-year period following the time that this stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless the business
combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes, among other things, a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested
stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or did own within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, 15% or more of the corporations voting stock.
Under Section 203, a business combination between a corporation and an interested stockholder is prohibited unless it satisfies one of
the following conditions: before the stockholder became interested, the board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; upon closing of the
transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of
determining the voting stock outstanding, shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers, and employee stock plans, in some instances; or at or after the time the stockholder became interested, the business combination was approved by
the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.
A Delaware corporation may opt out of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or
an express provision in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders amendment approved by at least a majority of the outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or
other takeover or change in control attempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.
12
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws will contain certain provisions that are intended to enhance the likelihood of
continuity and stability in the composition of the board of directors and which may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a future takeover or change in control of the company unless such takeover or change in control is approved by
the board of directors.
These provisions include:
Classified Board.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will be divided into
three classes of directors, with the classes as nearly equal in number as possible. As a result, approximately one-third of our board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more
difficult for stockholders to change the composition of our board. Our bylaws also provide that, subject to any rights of holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors will be fixed
exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by our board of directors.
Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of
Stockholders.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that stockholder action can be taken only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and cannot be taken by written consent in lieu of a meeting. Our bylaws also
provide that, subject to any special rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, and to the requirements of applicable law, special meetings of the stockholders can be called only by or at the direction of the board of directors pursuant
to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of directors which our board of directors would have if there were no vacancies. Except as described above, stockholders are not permitted to call a special meeting or to require the board of
directors to call a special meeting.
Removal of Directors.
Our bylaws provides that our directors may be
removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of at least 66
2
/
3
% of the voting power of our voting stock, voting together as a single
class. This requirement of a supermajority vote to remove directors could enable a minority of our stockholders to prevent a change in the composition of our board.
Advance Notice Procedures.
Our bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be
brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting are only able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of
meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given our Secretary
timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholders intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although the bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or
proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, the bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a
potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the company.
Super Majority Approval Requirements.
The Delaware General Corporation Law generally provides that the
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a
greater percentage. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66
2
/
3
% of the
total votes eligible to be cast in the election of directors will be required to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws. This requirement of a supermajority vote to approve amendments to
certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could enable a minority of our stockholders to exercise veto power over any such amendments.
Authorized but Unissued Shares.
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are
available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional shares may be utilized for a
13
variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of
common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Exclusive Forum.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our
directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or
(iv) any other action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to
have consented to the provisions of our certificate of incorporation described above. Although we believe these provisions benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and
proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal
proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could find the choice of forum provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to eliminate the personal liability of its directors or its stockholders for
monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his or her duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a
dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit. The undersigned registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director shall be
personally liable to the undersigned registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director, notwithstanding any provision of law imposing such liability, except to the extent that the Delaware General
Corporation Law prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty.
Section 145 of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides that a corporation has the power to indemnify a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities
against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding to which he or she is or is threatened to be made a
party by reason of such position, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause
to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or other adjudicating court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is
fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
The undersigned
registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the undersigned registrant will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the undersigned registrant) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, the undersigned registrants
director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the undersigned registrants request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an Indemnitee), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all
II-1
expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal
therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the undersigned registrants best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The undersigned registrants Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation also provides that the undersigned registrant will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an
action or suit by or in the right of the undersigned registrant to procure a judgment in the undersigned registrants favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, the undersigned registrants director
or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at the undersigned registrants request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the undersigned registrants best interests,
except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the undersigned registrant, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in
view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any
Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by the undersigned registrant against all expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in
connection therewith. If the undersigned registrant does not assume the defense, expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
The undersigned registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with the undersigned registrants directors and executive officers. In general,
these agreements provide that the undersigned registrant will indemnify the director or executive officer to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the undersigned registrants
company or in connection with their service at the undersigned registrants request for another corporation or entity. The undersigned registrant maintains a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of the undersigned
registrants directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Item 16.
Exhibits
The exhibits listed in the Exhibit Index immediately preceding the exhibits are filed as part of this registration statement on Form S-3.
Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned
registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this
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

reflected in the form of
II-2
prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 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.

F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC 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 the 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 that 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
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 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;
II-3
(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.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans 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.
(7) 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.
