This summary does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including any information incorporated by reference, which are described under the headings “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference” herein.

Our Company

We are a United States domiciled minerals exploration company with a focus on developing mines from mineral deposits principally located in the United States. We seek to support American supply chain independence by finding and delivering the critical metals necessary for electrification of the economy, with a focus on copper. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of these metals.

We are committed to the sustainable development of our projects by embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) criteria in our decision-making framework from the earliest stages of project exploration and development. We continue to build upon our team’s strong ESG track record for leveraging best practices to establish Ivanhoe as a leader in the mining sector. Key considerations that will influence our decision making include, but are not limited to, using clean and renewable energy in our future mining operations, following best practices to meet health, safety and environmental standards, optimizing our water resources, protecting local cultural heritage and biodiversity, minimizing our environmental footprint, as well as ensuring workforce diversity and hiring from local communities. Most importantly, the minerals that are the focus of our exploration and development efforts play a critical role by supporting electrification and enabling the clean energy transition.

Our two material mineral projects are the Santa Cruz Project in Arizona and the Tintic Project in Utah.

The Santa Cruz Project is a copper exploration project situated in a prolific mining region that hosts some of the largest copper mines in the United States. The Santa Cruz Project encompasses 5,975 acres on private land and includes associated water rights. The Santa Cruz Project location provides excellent infrastructure, including access to rail, interstate highways, and electric transmission lines. The Initial Assessment for the Santa Cruz Project, completed in September 2023, focuses on a small surface footprint, underground copper mine with an average of 5.5 million tonnes mined annually at full production, exclusively from the high-grade exotic, oxide and enriched domains of the Santa Cruz and East Ridge Deposits. The Initial Assessment estimates life of mine (“LOM”) copper production of 1.6 million tonnes over a 20-year mine life, with projected cash costs of $1.36 per pound of copper produced.

At the Santa Cruz Project, we are advancing environmental, technical, and economic studies for an underground high-grade copper mining operation with a focus on minimizing the surface footprint of the mine while at the same time incorporating leading technologies to improve efficiencies and costs. We are designing a technologically advanced mine that we expect to result in low carbon dioxide emissions per pound of copper produced and be a leading example of responsibly produced domestic copper.

The Tintic Project is an exploration project located 95 kilometres (“km”) south of Salt Lake City in a historically significant silver producing district that also produced significant amounts of copper and gold. We believe the Tintic district has the potential to host a world-class copper-gold porphyry deposit. We own a majority of the surface land and mineral rights constituting the Tintic Project and we have option agreements in place to own the remaining surface land and mineral rights at Tintic. Drilling in 2023 has advanced our understanding of the geology of this complex area and is guiding our ongoing exploration in 2024.

Our other mineral projects in the United States include the Hog Heaven Copper-Silver-Gold Project, located in Montana, where we have been actively drilling since June 2023. We also hold a portfolio of exploration projects throughout the United States, including projects in North Carolina, Nevada, and Oregon.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For purposes of S-K 1300, we are defined as an exploration stage issuer because our two material properties, the Santa Cruz Project and the Tintic Project, are at the exploration stage and do not have any declared Mineral Reserves. Our other United States mineral properties are also in the exploration stage.

In 2023, we established an exploration joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) with the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden), which we refer to herein as “Ma’aden”. The Joint Venture is owned 50/50 by Ivanhoe and Ma’aden and has an initial term of five years, which may be extended up to 10 years upon mutual agreement of the parties. The Joint Venture is operating through the newly established limited liability company established under Saudi Arabian law named Ma’aden Ivanhoe Electric Exploration and Development Limited Company (“Saudi JVCo”). Ma’aden has made available approximately 48,500 km2 of land under an exploration license (or license application) within Saudi Arabia for exploration by the Joint Venture. We contributed $66.4 million of the proceeds from the sale of our common shares to Ma’aden to fund Saudi JVCo and the Joint Venture, and provide Saudi JVCo with a royalty-free license to use Typhoon™ within Saudi Arabia for the purpose of mineral exploration. The license will remain exclusive to the Joint Venture in Saudi Arabia and effective during the term of the Joint Venture. Saudi JVCo has purchased three new generation Typhoon™ units from the Company’s former parent, I-Pulse, for an aggregate contract price not to exceed $13 million. The first new machine was delivered in the first quarter of 2024 and the second was delivered in the second quarter of 2024. The Joint Venture has also entered into a services agreement with Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), our 94% owned subsidiary, pursuant to which CGI is responsible for the supply of the services for the analysis of data and processing of the full spectrum of geophysical datasets produced by the Typhoon™ systems.

The Joint Venture is governed by a board of directors and technical committee comprised of an equal number of representatives from each company. The technical committee supervises the exploration activities of the Joint Venture including an initial “land identification stage” where the land Ma’aden has made available will be reviewed and reduced to the most prospective areas for Typhoon deployment. This stage will be followed by generative exploration and drilling stages aimed at identifying mineral resources of an economically viable scale. We are the operator during the exploration phase. Ma’aden will assume operatorship if an economically viable deposit is found and is designated by the Joint Venture for further development. We will also provide training and development to an agreed number of employees of the Joint Venture, on mineral exploration, geology, and the operation of the Typhoon™ units. The Joint Venture is not terminable, other than upon the occurrence of an event of default, by either party until the end of the exploration phase.

In 2024, we established an exploration alliance (“Exploration Alliance”) with a subsidiary of BHP Mineral Resources Inc. (“BHP”) to search for critical minerals in the United States. The Exploration Alliance Agreement sets out the framework for us (acting through a wholly owned subsidiary) and BHP to explore mutually agreed “Areas of Interest” or AOIs in the United States to identify projects within those AOIs that may become 50/50 owned joint ventures. The initial AOIs are in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The Alliance is for a term of three years, which may be extended. BHP (through a wholly owned subsidiary) will provide the initial funding of $15 million and any subsequent funding would be on a 50/50 basis. We will provide the Exploration Alliance with access to one of its new generation Typhoon™ geophysical survey systems as well as the machine learning algorithmic software and data inversion services of CGI.

Our other mineral projects outside of the United States are the Alacran Project in Colombia (owned through our interest in publicly traded company Cordoba Minerals Corp.) and the Ivory Coast Project (owned through our interest in publicly traded company Sama Resources Inc. and an interest in a joint venture entity) in Ivory Coast, and the Pinaya Project in Peru.

In addition to our portfolio of mineral projects, we own, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, patents to a proprietary exploration technology known as Typhoon™. We also own a 94% controlling interest in a data inversion business, CGI. CGI was founded in 2010 to commercialize innovative technology developed at the University of British Columbia, Canada to improve and enhance mineral exploration.

The Typhoon™ technology allows us to cost effectively and efficiently generate geophysical images of large-scale mineral deposits to depths of one and a half kilometers or more. CGI software technology consists of sophisticated codes to process geophysical data and build three-dimensional (“3D”) subsurface images that could indicate the presence of various sulfide metals and minerals. Typhoon™ can and has been used successfully to accelerate and de-risk the exploration process enabling a higher frequency of mineral discovery

and lowering total exploration costs. Typhoon™ has proven to be an important exploration tool during its deployment at the Santa Cruz Project and the Tintic Project.

Corporate History and Information

We were incorporated in Delaware on July 14, 2020, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of High Power Exploration Inc. (“HPX”).

On April 30, 2021, HPX completed a reorganization whereby HPX contributed (i) all of the issued and outstanding shares of HPX’s subsidiaries, other than those holding direct or indirect interests in its Nimba Iron Ore project in the Republic of Guinea; (ii) certain property, plant and equipment; and (iii) certain financial assets, in exchange for shares of our common stock. HPX then distributed the shares of our common stock to HPX stockholders by way of a dividend, with each HPX stockholder receiving one share of our common stock for each HPX share of common stock then held by the stockholder.

On April 30, 2021, we also entered into an intellectual property assignment and novation agreement with HPX, I-Pulse Inc. (“I-Pulse”), and several subsidiary companies by which the rights to certain technology and patent license agreements previously held by HPX or a subsidiary, as licensee, were assigned to us.

On June 30, 2022, we completed our initial public offering in which we issued and sold 14,388,000 shares of our common stock at a price to the public of $11.75 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $169.1 million.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves risk. Before making a decision to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Summary of Risk Factors” and “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any updates to those risk factors in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, together with all of the other information appearing or incorporated by reference herein, in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Although we discuss key risks in our discussion of risk factors, new risks may emerge in the future, which may prove to be significant. We cannot predict future risks or estimate the extent to which they may affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In any such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements, that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about future events, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, our industry and the regulatory environment in which we operate. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements. Those statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: estimated calculations of mineral reserves and resources at our properties including changes in those estimated calculations, economic and other projections, anticipated results of exploration activities, plans and objectives, potential development, financing or production, the performance of our technology, industry trends, our requirements for additional capital, treatment under applicable government regimes for permitting or attaining approvals, government regulation, environmental risks, title disputes or claims and synergies of potential future acquisitions. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “achieve,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our industry. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions concerning future events that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future events or results may differ materially from these statements. We believe that the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following: our mineral projects are all at the exploration stage with no certainty of advancing to further stages of development; we have no mineral reserves, other than at the Alacran project; we have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects; we depend on our material projects for our future operations; our mineral resource and mineral reserve calculations are only estimates; actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated or are projected in any economic study; the title to some of the mineral properties may be uncertain or defective; our business is subject to changes in the prices of copper, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, vanadium and platinum group metals; we have claims and legal proceedings against one of our subsidiaries; our business is subject to significant risk and hazards associated with exploration activities, mine development, construction and future mining operations; we may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates or joint ventures with strategic partners or be unable to successfully integrate acquired mineral properties or successfully manage joint ventures; our success is dependent in part on our joint venture partners and their compliance with our agreements with them; our business is extensively regulated by the United States and foreign governments as well as local governments; the requirements that we obtain, maintain and renew environmental, construction and mining permits are often a costly and time-consuming process; our non-U.S. operations are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not generally associated with domestic operations; and our operations may be impacted by pandemics, including impacts to the availability of our workforce, government orders that may require temporary suspension of operations, and the global economy.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

You should carefully consider these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file with the SEC. We also operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.

These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks of which we are not aware or which we currently do not believe to be material, may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to make any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.

Material Transactions and Relationships with Selling Stockholder

On May 15, 2023, the Company signed a Common Stock Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Ma’aden pursuant to the Heads of Terms entered on January 11, 2023. The Subscription Agreement provided for Ma’aden’s purchase in a private placement of approximately 9.9% of the total outstanding number of shares of common stock of the Company, the Company’s contribution of $66 million of the proceeds to fund the new 50/50 Joint Venture in Saudi Arabia and the entry into certain other related agreements. The Company and Ma’aden agreed to indemnify each other against certain losses resulting from breaches of their respective representations, warranties and covenants, subject to certain survival periods set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

On July 6, 2023, the Company completed the closing of the Subscription Agreement where Ma’aden purchased 10,269,604 shares of our common stock for approximately $127.1 million, representing a price of $12.38 per share, and entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA”), a Shareholders’ Agreement relating to the new Joint Venture, Typhoon™ Equipment Purchase and Technical Support Agreement, Data Services Agreement, Technology License Agreement and Director Indemnification Agreement.

Under the IRA, the Company agreed to appoint a nominee selected by Ma’aden to the Ivanhoe Board and provide Ma’aden with the continuing right to nominate one director to the Company’s Board for so long as Ma’aden owns at least 8% of the outstanding shares of common stock, subject to certain exceptions. Ma’aden agreed to vote its shares in favor of certain matters for so long as it continues to have a right to nominate a director, including the election of all of the Company’s director nominees, the appointment of any independent auditor selected by the Board, any proposal to amend the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws that is approved by a majority of the Board’s independent directors, subject to certain exceptions,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

and for as long as the standstill described below remains in effect, all matters on which the Company’s stockholders are entitled to vote that have been approved by a majority of the independent directors of the Company’s Board.

Sofia Bianchi, who currently serves as one of our directors, is Ma’aden’s nominee to the Company’s Board. Ms. Bianchi also serves as a director of Ma’aden.

The Company granted Ma’aden a right to purchase additional shares of common stock to maintain its 9.9% stock ownership position in the event of any issuances of common stock by the Company in the future, including stock issued as a result of (i) issuances to employees pursuant to any existing or future equity incentive plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Board; (ii) the exercise or vesting of incentive securities; or (iii) shares issued as acquisition consideration. Subject to certain exceptions, Ma’aden may exercise this right (the “top-up right”) upon the first occurrence after such dilution event in which the Company issues shares (or securities convertible into shares) for cash as part of an equity financing transaction. In the event that Ma’aden does not exercise its top-up right, the ownership threshold for purposes of the top-up right will be reduced to its ownership level after giving effect to the dilutive issuance. The top-up right will expire on the earlier of (i) five years from the date of completion of Ma’aden’s investment in the Company (the “Initial Period”), if within such five-year period Ma’aden has either failed on two separate occurrences to exercise in full its top-up rights, or has sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of any shares (other than to an affiliate or to the Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the “PIF”)); (ii) the first day following the Initial Period on which Ma’aden sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any shares of Company common stock (other than to an affiliate or to the PIF); and (iii) July 6, 2031. In addition, Ma’aden has a right to participate in offerings of Company preferred equity securities, if any, subject to certain exceptions.

Ma’aden agreed to a five-year standstill preventing it from increasing its beneficial ownership of shares of common stock above 19.9% or take certain other actions, including participation in a takeover proposal, without the written consent of the Company. The standstill will automatically be released in order for Ma’aden and its affiliates to make a competing offer if the Board approves the Company entering into any agreement with a third party providing for a transaction that would result in a third party or group beneficially owning more than 50% of the Company’s assets or more than 50% of the Company’s or any resulting corporation’s outstanding common stock.

Ma’aden agreed that, without Board approval, for five years it will not dispose of any of the shares it acquires pursuant to the Subscription Agreement or top-up right (except in open market, non-pre-arranged stock exchange transactions), if, as a result of such disposition, the purchaser of such shares would become the beneficial owner of greater than 9.9% of the Company’s common stock and is either a mining company or state-owned enterprise, other than the PIF.

The Company granted Ma’aden certain registration rights, and agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to have a registration statement declared effective by the SEC with 18 months after the closing, registering the resale from time to time of the shares acquire by Ma’aden pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and top-up right. This prospectus was filed pursuant to those registration rights. The Company also agreed to indemnify Ma’aden and certain related persons against certain liabilities in connection therewith.

The Shareholders’ Agreement among Ma’aden, Ivanhoe Electric Mena Holdings Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company (“IE Mena”), the Company and the Saudi JVCo, sets out the terms governing the relationship of the parties with respect to the Joint Venture. The Shareholders’ Agreement provides for the Company (through IE Mena), and Ma’aden to establish the 50/50 Joint Venture which will have an initial exploration phase of five years, which may be extended up to an additional five years upon mutual agreement of the parties. The Joint Venture will be conducted through Saudi JVCo. Ma’aden has made available approximately 48,500 km2 of land under an exploration license (or license application) within Saudi Arabia for exploration by the Joint Venture. The Company contributed $66 million to fund Saudi JVCo and the Joint Venture, and provided Saudi JVCo with a royalty-free license to use Typhoon™, within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the purpose of mineral exploration. The license will remain exclusive to the Joint Venture in Saudi Arabia and effective during the term of the Joint Venture. Saudi JVCo agreed to purchase three new generation Typhoon™ units from the Company’s former parent, I-Pulse Inc., for an aggregate contract price of approximately $12 million. The first new machine was delivered in the first quarter of 2024 and the second was delivered in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the second quarter of 2024. The Company also voluntarily made available an existing Typhoon™ that arrived in Saudi Arabia in December 2023 and will remain until the second new generation Typhoon™ unit purchased by Saudi JVCo arrives in-country. Saudi JVCo also entered into a data services agreement with the Company’s subsidiary CGI, pursuant to which CGI will be responsible for the supply of the data inversion services for the three-dimensional analysis of data and processing of geophysical datasets produced by the Typhoon™ systems.

The Joint Venture is governed by a board of directors and a Technical Committee comprised of an equal number of representatives from each company. The Technical Committee supervises the exploration activities of the Joint Venture including an initial “land identification stage” where the land Ma’aden is making available will be reviewed and reduced to the most prospective areas for Typhoon deployment. This will be followed by generative exploration and drilling stages aimed at identifying mineral resources of an economically viable scale.

The Saudi JVCo board of directors consists of six nominees — three from each of Ma’aden and the Company. The Chairperson will be chosen from among the Ma’aden nominees. Decisions of the Saudi JVCo board of directors are taken by simple majority vote, except for certain reserved matters that will require the approval of directors representing a shareholder or shareholders holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate equity interest in Saudi JVCo. These matters include among others, the approval of budgets, the approval of additional funding, approval of material contracts valued at $2 million or more (including offtake agreements), approval of the acquisition of additional land, approval of any changes to exploration programs, and the initiation and/or settlement of certain disputes on behalf of Saudi JVCo.

The Company will be the operator during the exploration phase. Ma’aden will assume operatorship if an economically viable deposit is found and is designated by the Joint Venture for further development (a “Designated Project”). However, the Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that no shareholder is obligated to pursue a Designated Project and may inform the other shareholder that it does not wish to further participate in a Designated Project, in which case the other shareholder may pursue the Designated Project on a sole risk basis. If the Company is the non-participating shareholder for a Designated Project, it will have the right to engage Ma’aden in good faith discussions regarding the transfer or exchange of the Company’s interest in a Designated Project for fair market value and the terms of such transfer or exchange including the possible terms of a royalty in lieu of a transfer or exchange for cash or securities.

The Company also provides training and development to employees of the Joint Venture, on mineral exploration, geology, and the operation of the Typhoon™ units.

The Shareholders’ Agreement also provides that for so long as the Company or IE Mena remains a shareholder of Saudi JVCo, the Company shall not enter into any other business or business partnership involving mining activities or mineral exploration in Saudi Arabia without Ma’aden’s prior written consent.

The Joint Venture will not be terminable, other than upon the occurrence of an event of default, by either party until the end of the exploration phase. On termination, the Typhoon™ units will be returned by Saudi JVCo to the Company but provided that Ma’aden shall have the right to engage the Company in good faith discussions regarding the potential terms and conditions for the continued provision by the Company to Ma’aden of the Typhoon™ units under a services arrangement for the purpose of exploring other Ma’aden land within Saudi Arabia.

On October 23, 2023, we entered into a subscription agreement with Ma’aden whereby Ma’aden agreed to purchase 1,513,650 shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $13.50 per share in a private placement, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $20.4 million. The subscription agreement is a result of the “top-up right” granted to Ma’aden under the IRA, which enables Ma’aden to purchase additional shares of our common stock to maintain its 9.9% stock ownership position in the event of certain issuances by the Company. The sale of the shares closed on October 31, 2023.

On November 1, 2023, the Company and Ma’aden entered into an amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement to expand the exploration area and update certain terms regarding the use of a Typhoon™ unit. The current form of the Shareholders’ Agreement is as amended on November 1, 2023.

The 11,785,254 Shares offered by the selling stockholder pursuant to this registration statement consist of the 10,269,604 shares of common stock issued to Ma’aden on July 6, 2023 and the 1,513,650 shares of common stock issued to Ma’aden on October 31, 2023.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholder and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the principal trading market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•

in the over-the-counter market;

•

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

•

privately negotiated transactions;

•

settlement of short sales;

•

in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•

one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

•

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this plan of distribution may be modified in a prospectus supplement or otherwise. The selling stockholder may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We agreed to keep this prospectus effective for so long as the selling stockholder retains beneficial ownership of an aggregate of at least 5.0% of our outstanding common shares.

The Shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to such corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors to provide these directors additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and to provide additional procedural protections. These agreements, among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification for expenses such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the Registrant, arising out of the person’s services as a director.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for such limitation of liability.

The Registrant maintains standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers against loss arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

Any underwriting agreement that the Registrant may enter into may provide for indemnification of directors and officers of the Registrant by the underwriters against certain liabilities.

(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 Registration Fee” table 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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above 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 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 the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

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

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

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

(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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) 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 Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
