CAPITAL CLEAN ENERGY CARRIERS CORP.

We are an international owner of ocean-going vessels, with a focus on the carriage of gas. As of April 29, 2025, our in-the-water fleet includes 15 high specification vessels, including 12 latest generation LNG/C vessels and three legacy Neo-Panamax container carrier vessels. In addition, we have agreed to acquire six additional latest generation LNG/C vessels and 10 gas carriers, including four LCO₂/multi gas and six LPG-ammonia carriers, to be delivered to the Company between the first quarter of 2026 and the third quarter of 2027.

We were originally formed as a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on January 16, 2007, by Capital Maritime, an international shipping company with a long history of operating and investing in the shipping market. On August 26, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), we converted from a Marshall Islands limited partnership to a Marshall Islands corporation and changed our name to “Capital Clean Energy Carriers Corp.” The Conversion is deemed a continuation of the existence of the Partnership in the form of a Marshall Islands corporation, with the existence of the Company deemed to have commenced on the date the Partnership commenced its existence. Upon the Effective Date, among other things, each common unit of the Partnership issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date was converted into one common share. The common shares trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “CCEC”.

We maintain our principal executive headquarters at 3 Iassonos Street, Piraeus, 18537 Greece and our telephone number is +30 210 4584 950.

Each document incorporated by reference into this prospectus is current only as of the date of such document, and the incorporation by reference of such document is not intended to create any implication that there has been no change in our affairs since the date of the relevant document or that the information contained in such document is current as of any time subsequent to its date. Any statement contained in such incorporated documents is deemed to be modified or superseded for the purpose of this prospectus to the extent that a subsequent statement contained in this prospectus, a prospectus supplement or in another document that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus or a prospectus supplement at a later date modifies or supersedes that statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus.

This prospectus incorporates by reference the documents listed below, which we have previously filed with the SEC. These documents contain important information about us and our financial condition, business and results.

In all cases, you should rely on the later information over different information included in this prospectus.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including documents incorporated by reference, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, business prospects, changes and trends in our business, financial condition and the markets in which we operate, and involve risks and uncertainties. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “likely,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue,” “seek” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

Although these forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions we believe to be reasonable based upon available information, including projections of revenues, operating margins, earnings, cash flows, working capital and capital expenditures, they are subject to risks and uncertainties that are described more fully in this prospectus in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 9 of this prospectus or documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this prospectus and are not intended to give any assurance as to future results. As a result, you are cautioned not to rely on any forward-looking statements.

•

expectations regarding our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders;

•

expectations regarding our conversion in August 2024 from a limited partnership to a corporation with customary corporate governance;

•

our ability to successfully operate exhaust gas cleaning systems or other newly installed equipment and novel technologies on certain or all of our vessels;

 

•

the expected cost of, and our ability to comply with, governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards, including new environmental regulations and standards, as well as standard regulations imposed by our charterers applicable to our business;

 

•

the impact of heightened regulations and the actions of regulators and other government authorities, including anti-corruption laws and regulations, as well as sanctions and other governmental actions;

 

•

the impact of new restrictions on trade, including the imposition of significant new tariffs by the United States on its trading partners and the imposition of significant retaliatory tariffs by China and the EU on the United States, and potential further protectionist measures and/or further retaliatory actions by others, including the imposition of tariffs or penalties on vessels calling in key export or import ports such as the United States, EU and/or China;

 

•

•

the adequacy of our insurance arrangements and our ability to obtain insurance and required certifications;

•

anticipated funds for liquidity needs and the sufficiency of cash flows; and

 

•

The preceding list is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all our forward-looking statements. These and other forward-looking statements are made based upon management’s current plans, expectations, estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and, therefore, involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those risks discussed in our Annual Report under the heading “Risk Factors” or those included in any annual report on Form 20-F or report on Form 6-K furnished after the date of this prospectus (in the case of reports on Form 6-K, to the extent that such reports state that they are incorporated by reference into this prospectus). The risks, uncertainties and assumptions involve known and unknown risks and are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures included in our Annual Report and in our other filings made with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed or incorporated by reference in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in the prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including those in “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report or those included in any annual report on Form 20-F or report on Form 6-K filed or furnished after the date of this prospectus (in the case of reports on Form 6-K, to the extent that such reports state that they are incorporated by reference into this prospectus).

Risks Related to the Resale Shares and Ownership of Our Common Stock

The selling shareholders may choose to sell common shares at prices below the current market price.

The selling shareholders are not restricted as to the prices at which they may sell or otherwise dispose of common shares covered by this prospectus. Sales or other dispositions of common shares below the then-current market prices could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

Future equity issuances would dilute the holdings of current shareholders and any such offerings by us, the selling shareholders or any further large sales by our shareholders could materially affect the market price of our common shares.

We may in the future decide to offer additional equity to raise capital or for other purposes, in compliance with Marshall Islands law. Any such additional offering would reduce the proportionate ownership and voting interests of holders of our common shares, as well as our earnings per share and net asset value per share, and any offerings by us, the selling shareholders or any further large sales by our shareholders could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

Common shares sold in any offering of common shares registered hereunder will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, upon the SEC declaring this registration statement effective. As a result, a substantial number of our common shares may be sold in the public market following any offering of common shares registered hereunder and upon the SEC declaring this registration statement effective. The market price of our securities could decline as a result of sales of a large number of common shares in the market after any offering of common shares registered hereunder or the perception that additional sales by the selling shareholders or other shareholders could occur.

Registration and sales of our common shares will increase the number of shares being sold in the public market, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares and may increase the volatility of the price of our common shares.

 

9

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

Our capitalization will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to this prospectus or in a report on Form 6-K subsequently furnished to the SEC and incorporated herein by reference.

 

10

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth as of April 29, 2025 the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each person we know beneficially owns more than 5.0% or more of our common shares, and all of our directors and executive officers as a group. The number of common shares beneficially owned by each person is determined under SEC rules and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under SEC rules a person beneficially owns any common shares as to which the person has or shares voting or investment power. The percentages in the following table are based on 58,717,313 common shares outstanding (excluding 1,221,061 common shares held in treasury).

Capital Maritime (1)			28,308,881				48.2	%
Capital Gas (1)			1,153,846				2.0	%
CGP LLC (1)			5,000,000				8.5	%
Yoda PLC (2)			15,142,440				25.8	%
All executive officers and directors as a group (ten persons) (3)			*				*

 

*	Represents beneficial ownership of less than 1% of our outstanding common shares.

(1)

The Marinakis family, including Evangelos M. Marinakis, our former chairman, through its ownership of Capital Maritime may be deemed to beneficially own, or to have beneficially owned, all of our common shares held by Capital Maritime. The Marinakis family, including Miltiadis E. Marinakis, through its ownership of 100% of Capital Gas and CGP LLC, may be deemed to beneficially own all of our common shares held by Capital Gas and CGP LLC.

(2)	Based upon representations made by the selling shareholders to us. Mr. Ioannis Papalekas is the controlling shareholder of Yoda PLC (“Yoda”) and as such may be deemed to beneficially own the common shares held by its wholly-owned subsidiaries Paparebecorp Limited and Ascetico Limited.

(3)	See “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees-E. Share Ownership” of our Annual Report.

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the common shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the selling shareholders for their respective accounts. We cannot currently determine the price or prices at which such common shares may be sold by the selling shareholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of our common shares by the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders will pay any underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes applicable to the sale of their common share, and we will bear certain other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of such common shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, any stock exchange fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the possible offer and sale from time to time of up to 15,142,440 common shares by the selling shareholders. The common shares were issued on August 26, 2024, upon the Company’s conversion from a Marshall Islands limited partnership to a Marshall Islands corporation at which time each of the common units of the Partnership outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Date was converted into one common share.

If underwriters are used to sell common shares, we and the selling shareholders will enter into an underwriting agreement or similar agreement with them at the time of the sale to them. In that connection, underwriters may receive compensation from the selling shareholders in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of the common shares for whom they may act as agent. Any such underwriter, dealer or agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling shareholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to the common shares will set forth, among other things:

 

•

the offering terms, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

•

the purchase price of the common shares and the proceeds to the selling shareholders from such sale;

 

•

any underwriting discounts, concessions, commissions and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers or agents;

 

•

any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers.

The common shares may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the common shares will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the common shares if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

Common shares may be sold directly by the selling shareholders or through agents designated by them from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the common shares in respect of which this prospectus and a prospectus supplement is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the selling shareholders to such agent, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

If so indicated in the prospectus supplement, the selling shareholders will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers from certain specified institutions to purchase common shares from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for

 

18

payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement and the prospectus supplement will set forth the commissions payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the validity or performance of any such contracts.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered into with us or the selling shareholders to be indemnified by us or the selling shareholders against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution by us or the selling shareholders to payments which they may be required to make. The terms and conditions of such indemnification will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.

Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us, our affiliates or the selling shareholders in the ordinary course of business.

Any underwriters to whom common shares are sold by the selling shareholders for public offering and sale may make a market in such common shares, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any common shares.

The selling shareholders have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of the common shares if they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time. There can be no assurance that the selling shareholders will sell all or any of the common shares offered by this prospectus. In addition, the selling shareholders may also sell the common shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus.

The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the common shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell such securities, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders may also transfer the common shares in other circumstances, in which case the donees, pledgees, transferees, assignees, distributees, successors or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a selling shareholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, assignee, distributee, successor or other successor-in-interest intends to sell our common shares, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling shareholder.

The selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of the common shares offered hereby or of securities convertible into or exchangeable for such common shares in the course of hedging positions they assume with the selling shareholders. The selling shareholders may also enter into options or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealers or other financial institutions of the common shares offered by this prospectus, which common shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as amended or supplemented to reflect such transaction).

To the extent required, we will use our best efforts to file one or more supplements to this prospectus to describe any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this prospectus or any material change to such information.

We have agreed with the selling shareholders to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until all of the securities covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or the common shares have been withdrawn.

 

19

Certain persons participating in any offering of common shares may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common shares offered. In connection with any such offering, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may purchase and sell common shares in the open market. These transactions may include over-allotment and stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover syndicate short positions created in connection with the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of certain bids or purchases for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common shares and syndicate short positions involve the sale by the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, of a greater number of common shares than they are required to purchase from the selling shareholders in the offering. The underwriters may also impose a penalty bid, whereby selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or other broker-dealers for the common shares sold for their account may be reclaimed by the syndicate if such common shares are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the common shares, which may be higher than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market, and if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. These transactions may be effected on the Nasdaq Global Market, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. These activities will be described in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

A prospectus and accompanying prospectus supplement in electronic form may be made available on the web sites maintained by the underwriters. The underwriters may agree to allocate a number of common shares for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Such allocations of common shares for internet distributions will be made on the same basis as other allocations. In addition, common shares may be sold by the underwriters to securities dealers who resell securities to online brokerage account holders.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

We are organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands as a corporation. The Republic of the Marshall Islands has a less developed body of securities laws as compared to the United States.

Most of our directors and officers and those of our subsidiaries are residents of countries other than the United States. Substantially all of our and our subsidiaries’ assets and a substantial portion of the assets of our directors and officers are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon us, our directors, our officers or our subsidiaries, or to realize against us or them judgments obtained in United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States.

Watson Farley & Williams LLP, our counsel as to Marshall Islands law, has advised us that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Republic of the Marshall Islands would (1) recognize or enforce against us, our directors, our officers or our subsidiaries judgments of courts of the United States based on civil liability provisions of applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws or (2) impose liabilities against us, our directors, our officers or our subsidiaries in original actions brought in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, based on these laws.

 

21

VALIDITY OF SECURITIES

Unless otherwise stated in any prospectus supplement, the validity of the common shares will be passed upon by Watson Farley & Williams LLP, as to matters of Marshall Islands law. We are also being advised by Sullivan & Cromwell LLP as to certain matters of New York law.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

 

Item 8.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act (the “MIBCA”) authorizes corporations to, in their articles of incorporation, limit or eliminate personal liability of directors to corporations and their shareholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties; provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not undertaken in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; or (iii) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Articles of Incorporation of CCEC include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of directors and officers for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duties as directors or officers, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by the MIBCA.

The Bylaws of CCEC provide for the indemnification of any person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of CCEC) because such person is or was a director or officer of CCEC, or is or was serving at CCEC’s request as a director or officer of another entity, if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to CCEC’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The rights of indemnification and advancement set forth in the Bylaws are not exclusive of any other rights to which an indemnitee may be entitled.

CCEC has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its current directors and executive officer. These agreements require CCEC to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to CCEC, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. CCEC also intends to enter into indemnification agreements with future directors and executive officers.

The Bylaws also authorize CCEC to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of CCEC or is or was serving at CCEC’s request as a director or officer. CCEC currently maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance for its directors and officers as well as officers and directors of certain subsidiaries.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 10.

Undertakings.

 

(a)	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 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement.

 

(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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(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.

To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that

all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Item 8.A. of Form 20-F if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange 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 this registration statement.

 

5.	That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

a.

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

 

b.

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.

 

6.

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 this 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 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 Securities 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
