(the “Company,” “us,” “our” or “we”), issuable upon exercise of a common stock purchase warrant (the “Inducement Warrant”).

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Covered Shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Covered Shares by the Holder.
Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EKSO.” On April 9, 2025, the last reported sale price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.3780 per share.

You should also read and consider information in the documents we have referred you to in the sections of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.”
You should rely only on the information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus (as supplemented and amended), along with the information contained in any free writing prospectuses. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurances as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. The information contained in this prospectus (and in any supplement or amendment to this prospectus) or any related free writing prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein, are accurate only as of their respective dates, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement or any related free writing prospectus, or any sale of a security. We urge you to carefully read this prospectus (as supplemented and amended), together with the information incorporated herein by reference as described under the heading “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” before deciding whether to invest in the Common Stock being offered.
This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed, or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.”
We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference in this prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.
Except as otherwise indicated herein or as the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to “Ekso,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar references refer to Ekso Bionics Holdings, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
We are not making an offer or sale of our Common Stock in any jurisdiction where such offer or sale is not permitted. Neither we nor any of our representatives are making any representation to you regarding the legality of an investment in our Common Stock by you under applicable laws. We urge you to consult with your own advisors as to legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of an investment in our Common Stock.

All trademarks, service marks and trade names included or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference are the property of their respective owners.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, each prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus and each prospectus supplement contain certain statements that constitute “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. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “likely,” and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Those statements appear in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, particularly in the sections captioned “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of our management that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. You are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors.
Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein after we distribute this prospectus, whether as a result of any new information, future events or otherwise.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date the statement was made, and although we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted a thorough inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may contain market data that we obtain from industry sources. These sources do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information. Although we believe that our industry sources are reliable, we do not independently verify the information. The market data may include projections that are based on a number of other projections. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable and sound as of the date of this prospectus, actual results may differ from the projections.
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you should carefully consider the specific factors discussed below. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in any of our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein by reference, as may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.
Risks Related to This Offering
The number of shares being registered for resale is significant in relation to the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.
We have filed a registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to register the shares offered hereunder for sale into the public market by the selling stockholder. These shares represent a large number of shares of our Common Stock, and if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price of our Common Stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital.
You may be diluted from future issuances of our equity securities, including in future financings or strategic transactions, from compensatory equity awards and exercises of outstanding warrants, and such issuances, or perception that such issuances may occur, could depress the market price of our Common Stock.
Future operating or business decisions may cause dilution to our stockholders. For example, we may sell equity securities or issue securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our Common Stock in connection with strategic transactions or for financing purposes, including under our At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") or otherwise through registered or unregistered offerings, such as the issuance of the Inducement Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Agreement. As of December 31, 2024, we had $4.1 million available for future offerings under the prospectus filed with respect to the ATM Agreement. Furthermore, a substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act so long as we are generally current on our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, unless these shares are owned or purchased by “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We may also make equity grants under one or more employee equity incentive plan or our employee stock purchase plan or issue Common Stock as matching contributions to our employees under our 401(k) Plan. You may also be subject to dilution from the exercise or settlement of outstanding options or restricted stock units under the Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, and from the exercise of our warrants. In addition, sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or other equity-related securities in the public markets, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock.
We may not achieve profitability in the near term or at all, and historically we have not been profitable. Management has historically financed the Company’s operations through external financings, from both equity and debt financings, like issuances under our ATM Agreement, the issuance of the Inducement Warrant pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Agreement, our registered direct offering in January 2024 and our underwritten public offering in September 2024, for example. To the extent our cash on hand does not provide sufficient capital for us to achieve profitability, or we are unable to maintain profitability once initially achieved, we expect we will need to raise additional capital through future financings. To the extent we decide to conduct a financing in the future, the form of such financing may include one or more of the following: (i) underwritten offerings of shares of our common stock, (ii) sales of shares of our common stock under an "at the market" offering program, (iii) issuing shares of our common stock upon the exercise of warrants at reduced exercise prices, (iv) incurring indebtedness with one or more financial institutions, (v) sale of product line or technology, and (vi) the factoring of trade receivables. Additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, or we may be required to seek other more costly or time-consuming methods. Any failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our financial condition and on our ability to pursue our business plans and strategies.
If we do not regain compliance with or continue to satisfy the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) continued listing requirements, our Common Stock could be delisted from Nasdaq.
The listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market is contingent on our compliance with Nasdaq’s conditions for continued listing, including a rule requiring our Common Stock to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. On December 12, 2024, we received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of Nasdaq indicating that, for the last 31 consecutive business days, the minimum bid price of our Common Stock had been below the $1.00 per share minimum requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our Common Stock.
In the event we do not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by June 10, 2025, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we must meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. We do not currently meet such other initial listing standards, so we do not expect to receive additional time to regain compliance. If we meet these requirements by June 10, 2025, we will be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. If we do not qualify for or fail to regain compliance during the second compliance period, then the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification to us that our Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
In the event our Common Stock is no longer listed for trading on Nasdaq, our trading volume and share price may decrease and we may experience further difficulties in raising capital which could materially affect our operations and financial results. Further, delisting from Nasdaq could also have other negative effects, including potential loss of confidence by partners, lenders, suppliers and employees and could also trigger various defaults under our financing arrangements and other outstanding agreements. Finally, delisting could make it harder for us to raise capital and sell securities. You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings. In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Covered Shares held by the Holder pursuant to this prospectus.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
We have prepared this prospectus to allow the Holder to sell or otherwise dispose of, from time to time, up to 10,500,000 Covered Shares.
On March 17, 2025, we entered into the Warrant Inducement Agreement with the Holder, who held one of our Series A common stock purchase warrants and one of our Series B common stock purchase warrants (such warrants, the “Existing Warrants”). Pursuant to the Warrant Inducement Agreement, the Holder agreed to exercise its Existing Warrants for cash to purchase an aggregate of 9,800,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.4239 per share, resulting in approximately $4.2 million of gross proceeds to us.
In consideration of the Holder’s agreement to exercise the Existing Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Inducement Agreement, we agreed to issue to the Holder the Inducement Warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,500,000 shares of Common Stock. We agreed in the Warrant Inducement Agreement to register for resale by the Holder the Covered Shares underlying the Inducement Warrant and have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3, of which this prospectus forms a part, with respect to the resale or other disposition of the securities offered from time to time by the Holder under this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales by the Holder of any of the Covered Shares covered by this prospectus.
The Holder’s beneficial ownership information presented in the table below is as of March 18, 2025. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of our Common Stock. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the Holder has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by the person named below. The Holder may have sold or transferred, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, some or all of its shares of Common Stock since the date on which the information in the table below is presented. Information about the Holder may change over time.
Name of Holder |
Number of Common Shares Beneficially Owned Prior to Offering (1) |
Maximum Number of Common Shares to be Sold Pursuant to this Prospectus |

(1) Includes (i) 2,043,455 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 1,996,649 shares of Common Stock underlying unexercised warrants that include a beneficial ownership blocker, as well as, in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned prior to the offering, the 10,500,000 Covered Shares.
(2) For purposes of this table, we have assumed that the Holder will sell all of the Covered Shares.
(3) The securities are directly held by Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Master Fund”), and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by: (i) Armistice Capital, LLC (“Armistice Capital”), as the investment manager of the Master Fund; and (ii) Steven Boyd, as the Managing Member of Armistice Capital. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%, which such limitation restricts the Holder from exercising that portion of the warrants that would result in the Holder and its affiliates owning, after exercise, a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the beneficial ownership limitation. The address of Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. is c/o Armistice Capital, LLC, 510 Madison Avenue, 7th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Holder, and its pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may from time to time offer and sell, separately or together, some or all of the Covered Shares. Registration of the resale of the Covered Shares under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part does not mean, however, that those Covered Shares necessarily will be offered or sold.
The Covered Shares covered by this prospectus may be sold from time to time, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices, at a fixed price or prices subject to change or at negotiated prices, by a variety of methods including the following:
● |
in the Nasdaq Capital Market; |
● |
in privately negotiated transactions; |
● |
through broker-dealers, who may act as agents or principals; |
● |
in a block trade in which a broker-dealer will attempt to sell a block of securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
● |
directly to one or more purchasers; |
● |
through agents; or |
● |
in any combination of the above. |
In effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the Holder may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Broker-dealer transactions may include:
● |
purchases of the Covered Shares by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of the Covered Shares by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; |
● |
ordinary brokerage transactions; or |
● |
transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers on a best efforts basis. |
To our knowledge, the Holder has not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any broker-dealers regarding the sale of the Covered Shares covered by this prospectus. At any time a particular offer of the securities covered by this prospectus is made, a revised prospectus or prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of Covered Shares covered by this prospectus being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any dealers, brokers or agents. In addition, to the extent required, any discounts, commissions, concessions and other items constituting agents’ compensation, as well as any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers, will be set forth in such revised prospectus supplement. Any such required prospectus supplement, and, if necessary, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, will be filed with the SEC to reflect the disclosure of additional information with respect to the distribution of the securities covered by this prospectus.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Snell and Wilmer L.L.P., Las Vegas, Nevada.
EXPERTS
The financial statements incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been so incorporated in reliance on the report of WithumSmith+Brown, PC, an independent registered public accounting firm, which report includes an explanatory paragraph about the existence of substantial doubt concerning the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 provide us with the power to indemnify any of our directors, officers, employees and agents. The person entitled to indemnification must have conducted himself in good faith, and must reasonably believe that his conduct was in, or not opposed to, our best interests. In a criminal action, the director, officer, employee or agent must not have had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Under NRS Section 78.751, advances for expenses may be made by agreement if the director or officer affirms in writing that he has met the standards for indemnification and will personally repay the expenses if it is determined that such officer or director did not meet those standards.
Our by-laws state that we shall indemnify every (i) present or former director, officer, employee or agent of us and (ii) any person who served at our request as a director, officer, member, manager, partner, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (each an “Indemnitee”).
Our by-laws provide that we shall indemnify an Indemnitee against expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and costs (and in connection with a proceeding other than a proceeding by or in the right of the Company, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any proceeding in which such Indemnitee was, is or is threatened to be named as defendant or respondent, or in which he was or is a witness without being named a defendant or respondent, by reason, in whole or in part, of his serving or having served, or having been nominated or designated to serve, if it is determined that the Indemnitee (a) conducted himself in good faith and in a manner which such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, or with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful or (b) is not liable pursuant to NRS Section 78.138; provided, however, that in the event that an Indemnitee is found liable to us, we will have no obligation to indemnify such Indemnitee unless, and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses and costs as a court of competent jurisdiction or such other court shall deem proper.
The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or on a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not of itself determinative that the Indemnitee did not meet the requirements set forth in clauses (a) or (b) above. An Indemnitee shall be deemed to have been found liable in respect of any claim, issue or matter only after the Indemnitee shall have been so adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom.
In addition to our by-laws, we have entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each of our directors and executive officers pursuant to which we are required to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and our governing documents. We believe that entering into these agreements helps us to attract and retain highly competent and qualified persons to serve the Company.
The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation, by-laws and the indemnification agreements that we have entered into with our directors and executive officers may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors and executive officers for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and executive officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit the registrant and other stockholders. Further, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that the registrant pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and executive officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, we are not aware of any pending litigation or proceeding involving any person who is or was one of our directors or officers, or is or was one of our directors or officers serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
We have obtained insurance policies under which, subject to the limitations of the policies, coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of fiduciary duty or other wrongful acts as a director or executive officer, including claims relating to public securities matters, and to us with respect to payments that may be made by the registrant to these directors and executive officers pursuant to our indemnification obligations or otherwise as a matter of law.

Item 17. 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;
(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 Securities and Exchange Commission, or 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 (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 Exchange Act, 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, 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 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 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 a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such 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.
(6) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(b) 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Rafael, State of California, on April 10, 2025.
