Although we believe these sources are reliable, we do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information and we have not independently verified this information. In addition, the market and industry data and forecasts that may be included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or any applicable free writing prospectus may involve estimates, assumptions and other risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus, the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus, and under similar headings in other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws that involve risks and uncertainties concerning our business, products and financial results. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this prospectus, including statements concerning possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, and any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. The forward-looking statements in this prospectus are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in our forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors that could cause actual results to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
| ● | our ability to provide shareholder value through strategic alternatives, including potential partnerships, acquisitions and corporate transactions; |
| ● | our ability to obtain the benefits of our recent private placement and strategic asset sale; |
| ● | the continued market for freeze-dried candy; |
| ● | our ability to compete successfully in the highly competitive industry in which we operate; |
| ● | our ability to maintain and enhance our brand; |
| ● | our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies related to launching new products; |
| ● | our ability to successfully enter new markets internationally; |
| ● | the effectiveness and efficiency of our marketing programs; |
| ● | our ability to manage current operations and to manage future growth effectively; |
| ● | our future operating performance; |
| ● | our ability to attract new customers or retain existing customers; |
2
| ● | our ability to protect and maintain our intellectual property; |
| ● | the government regulations to which we are subject; |
| ● | our ability to maintain adequate liquidity to meet our financial obligations; |
| ● | failure to obtain sufficient sales and distributions for our freeze dried product offerings; |
| ● | the potential for supply chain disruption and delay; |
| ● | the potential for transportation, labor, and raw material cost increases; and |
| ● | other risks and uncertainties set forth under “Risk Factors.” |
All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise, except to the extent required by applicable laws. If we update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Overview
Sow Good Inc. (“Sow Good” or “Company”) is a U.S.-based consumer packaged goods company that pioneered the freeze dried candy category. Since commencing commercial sales in the first quarter of 2023, Sow Good developed and scaled a proprietary freeze drying manufacturing operation dedicated to transforming traditional candy and snacks into novel, intensely flavorful treats it markets under the “hyper dried, hyper crunchy, hyper flavorful” brand positioning.
Recent Strategic Transactions
On December 30, 2025, the Company sold substantially all of its manufacturing assets, including six proprietary freeze drying machines and other property and equipment with an aggregate net book value of approximately $10,793,563, to Trea Grove, LLC (“Trea Grove”), a related party, for total consideration of $1.5 million. Concurrently, the Company entered into an exclusive Distribution Agreement with Trea Grove (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which Trea Grove serves as the exclusive worldwide distributor of Sow Good’s remaining finished goods inventory, with the Company receiving 10% of gross receipts from customer sales. The Distribution Agreement has a term through July 31, 2026.
As a result of these transactions, the Company no longer operates manufacturing facilities and has transitioned to a capital-light model for the duration of the Distribution Agreement. The Company’s board and management are evaluating strategic alternatives for the business going forward.
Additionally, on December 31, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for the private placement of two tranches of convertible preferred stock (the “Private Placement”). The Company completed the sale of the first tranche by issuing 1,500,000 Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”), with proceeds to the Company of $3,000,000, which were used to pay down debt, reduce headcount, and for operational purposes. The Company completed the sale of the second tranche by issuing 1,500,000 Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series AAA Preferred Stock”) for additional proceeds of $3,000,000 on March 31, 2026. The terms of the Series AAA Preferred Stock are substantially similar to the terms of the Series AA Preferred Stock, except that the Series AAA Preferred Stock are redeemable at a price of $200 per share, and each share of Series AA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 14 shares of common stock whereas each share of Series AAA Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 250 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided in the Series AAA certificate of designations). Immediately upon issuance, holders of (i) an aggregate of 410,000 shares of AA Preferred Stock converted into an aggregate of 5,740,000 shares of our common stock, and (ii) an aggregate of 1,122,609 shares of the Series AAA Preferred Stock converted into an aggregate of 280,652,250 shares of our common stock, of which an aggregate of 109,009,250 shares are being registered for resale under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 of which this prospectus forms a part.
Products
Sow Good sells freeze-dried candy and snack products through a distributor. The freeze drying process removes up to 99% of moisture from products in their frozen state through the application of low heat in a near-vacuum environment, concentrating flavor and producing a uniquely crunchy texture with a long shelf life and natural preservation characteristics.
Corporate Information
The registrant was initially incorporated in Delaware in April 2010 and became a publicly traded company when its shares began trading on July 1, 2010. Prior to April 2, 2012, the Company name was Ante5, Inc., which became an independent company in April 2010. From October 2010 through August 2019, the Company was engaged in the business of acquiring oil and gas leases and participated in the drilling of wells under the name Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. In December 2012, the Company reincorporated in Nevada. Effective January 21, 2021, the Company changed its name from Black Ridge Oil & Gas, Inc. to Sow Good Inc. to pursue the freeze dried fruits and vegetables business as acquired with its October 1, 2020 acquisition of S-FDF, LLC. On May 5, 2021, the Company announced the launch of its freeze dried consumer packaged goods food brand, Sow Good. Effective February 15, 2024, the Company reincorporated to the State of Delaware from the State of Nevada pursuant to a plan of conversion. Our principal executive offices are located at 1440 N Union Bower Rd, Irving, TX 75061 and our telephone number is (214) 623-6055. Our web site address is www.thisissowgood.com.

Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves risks. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. When determining whether to invest, you should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated in this prospectus and in the applicable prospectus supplement and any applicable free writing prospectus.

All of the shares of our common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus, as described in the section entitled “Selling Stockholders” will be sold for their respective accounts. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders and offered hereby.
The selling stockholders will pay any discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our accountants.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the securities for working capital and general corporate purposes unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The following description of our capital stock is not complete and may not contain all the information you should consider before investing in our capital stock. This description is summarized from, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, each of which has been publicly filed with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation by Reference.”
General
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 1,020,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 300,801,347 shares of common stock and 1,467,391 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2026. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of common stock is required to increase or decrease number of authorized shares, as described below.
Common Stock
Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Our holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds legally available therefor, which may be paid in cash, property, or in shares of the Company’s capital stock. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, either voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive their ratable share of the net assets of the Company legally available for distribution after payment of all debts and other liabilities. There are no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.
Dividends
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not anticipate paying dividends for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends will be subject to the discretion of our Board and will depend, among other things, upon our earnings, our capital requirements, our financial condition, and other relevant factors. We intend to reinvest any earnings in the development and expansion of our business. Any cash dividends in the future to common stockholders will be payable when, as and if declared by our Board, based upon the board’s assessment of our financial condition and performance, earnings, need for funds, capital requirements, prior claims of preferred stock to the extent issued and outstanding, and other factors, including income tax consequences, restrictions and applicable laws. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any dividends on our common stock will ever be paid.
Preferred Stock
Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock
Designation and Authorized Shares
The Series AA Convertible Non-Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series AA Preferred Stock”) consists of 1,500,000 authorized shares, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2026, there are 1,090,000 shares of Series AA Preferred Stock outstanding. Each share has a stated value of $2.00 (the “Stated Value”), subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar event.
Any shares of Series AA Preferred Stock converted, redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Company shall automatically be retired and canceled promptly after acquisition, become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, and may not be reissued as shares of Series AA Preferred Stock. Such shares may, however, be reissued as part of a new series of any class or series of Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.
9
Dividend Rights
Holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive “Participating Dividends” if the Board declares a dividend or other distribution payable upon the outstanding shares of common stock (whether in cash, in kind, or in other securities or property, other than dividends payable in shares of common stock), holders of outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends as would be payable in respect of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series AA Preferred Stock could be converted, without regard to any restrictions on conversion, with such number determined as of the record date for the common stock dividend (or, if no such record date is established, as of the date of such dividend). Participating Dividends are payable at the same time as and when dividends on the common stock are paid to common stock holders.
There are no stated fixed or cumulative dividend rights. Dividends on the Series AA Preferred Stock are contingent on the Board declaring dividends on the common stock.
Voting Rights
Until the Series AA Preferred Stock becomes convertible pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations, or except as otherwise required by the DGCL or other applicable law or as provided in the Certificate of Designations, holders of Series AA Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote (or render written consents) on any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock.
However, so long as any shares of Series AA Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Holders”): (i) alter, repeal, or change the powers, preferences, or rights of the Series AA Preferred Stock, or amend the Certificate of Designations in a manner that adversely affects the Series AA Preferred Stock; (ii) supplement, amend, restate, repeal, or waive any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or file any certificate of amendment or certificate of designation, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges, or powers of the Series AA Preferred Stock (whether by amendment, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion, or otherwise); (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series AA Preferred Stock; or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
Liquidation Rights
The Series AA Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to all common stock; (ii) senior to any class or series of capital stock hereafter created and expressly ranking junior to the Series AA Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); and (iii) on parity with any class or series of capital stock hereafter created and expressly ranking on parity with the Series AA Preferred Stock (“Parity Securities”), in each case as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a “Dissolution”).
Upon a Dissolution, each holder of Series AA Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions to holders of common stock and Junior Securities, and pari passu with any distribution to holders of Parity Securities, an amount per share equal to the greater of: (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends declared but unpaid on such share, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series AA Preferred Stock been converted into common stock (without regard to any restrictions on conversion) immediately prior to such Dissolution. If the Company’s assets are insufficient to pay such amounts in full, holders of Series AA Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall share in the available assets pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts otherwise payable on their shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Dissolution.

Each holder of Series AA Preferred Stock has the right, at its option, at any time and from time to time, after (A) stockholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock sufficient to permit full conversion of the Series AA Preferred Stock and any outstanding Series AAA Preferred Stock and (B) stockholder approval of the conversion itself in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules (collectively, the “Stockholder Approvals”), and after the Company files a corresponding amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”), to convert all or any portion of its shares of Series AA Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion equals the Stated Value divided by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion. The initial Conversion Price is $0.14286 per share, subject to adjustment.
Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued upon conversion. In lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.
Conversion Price Adjustments: The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the following circumstances:
| ● | Stock subdivisions: If the number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased by a stock split or subdivision, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares issuable upon conversion increases proportionately. |
| ● | Stock combinations: If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a combination, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. |
| ● | Stock dividends: If the Company pays a dividend in additional shares of common stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares outstanding before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to such dividend. |
| ● | Reorganization, reclassification, merger, or consolidation: Provision shall be made so that holders of Series AA Preferred Stock receive upon conversion the kind and amount of stock, cash, or other property they would have received had they converted immediately prior to such event. |
Following receipt of the Stockholder Approvals and filing of the Charter Amendment, the Company is required to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock (or common stock held in treasury) to permit conversion of all outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock.
The Company is responsible for paying all original issuance, transfer, stamp, and similar taxes arising on conversion, except for any taxes payable by reason of a transfer of the common stock to a person other than the holder of the Series AA Preferred Stock being converted.
Redemption Rights
The Series AA Preferred Stock is designated as non-redeemable. The Certificate of Designations does not provide for any optional or mandatory redemption by the Company, nor any holder retraction right.
Preemptive Rights
The Company is required to reserve shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion free from preemptive rights. The Certificate of Designations does not otherwise provide any preemptive rights to holders of the Series AA Preferred Stock.
11
Waiver
Any provision of the Certificate of Designations may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series AA Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders (i.e., holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock).
Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
Designation and Authorized Shares
The Series AAA Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series AAA Preferred Stock”) has a par value of $0.001 per share and consists of 1,500,000 authorized shares, par value $0.001 per share. As of March 31, 2026, there are 377,391 shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock outstanding.
Each share has a stated value of $2.00 per share (the “Stated Value”), subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or other similar event.
Any shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock converted, redeemed, purchased, or otherwise acquired by the Company shall automatically be retired and canceled promptly after acquisition, become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, and may not be reissued as shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock. Such shares may, however, be reissued as part of a new series of any class or series of Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.
Dividend Rights
Holders of the Series AAA Preferred Stock are entitled to receive “Participating Dividends” — that is, if the Board declares a dividend or other distribution payable upon the outstanding shares of common stock (whether in cash, in kind, or in other securities or property, other than dividends payable in shares of common stock), holders of the then-outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of dividends as would be payable in respect of the number of shares of common stock into which the Series AAA Preferred Stock could be converted, without regard to any restrictions on conversion, with such number determined as of the record date for the common stock dividend (or, if no such record date is established, as of the date of such dividend). Participating Dividends are payable at the same time as and when dividends on the common stock are paid.
There are no stated fixed or cumulative dividend rights. Dividends on the Series AAA Preferred Stock are contingent on the Board declaring dividends on the common stock.
Voting Rights
Until the Series AAA Preferred Stock becomes convertible pursuant to Section 6 of the Certificate of Designations, or except as otherwise required by the DGCL or other applicable law or as provided in the Certificate of Designations, holders of Series AAA Preferred Stock are not entitled to vote (or render written consents) on any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of common stock.
However, so long as any shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company may not, without first obtaining the approval of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock (the “Requisite Holders”): (i) alter, repeal, or change the powers, preferences, or rights of the Series AAA Preferred Stock, or amend the Certificate of Designations in a manner that adversely affects the Series AAA Preferred Stock; (ii) supplement, amend, restate, repeal, or waive any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or file any certificate of amendment or certificate of designation, if such action would adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges, or powers of the Series AAA Preferred Stock (whether by amendment, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, conversion, or otherwise); (iii) increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the number of authorized shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock; or (iv) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
12
Liquidation Rights
The Series AAA Preferred Stock ranks (i) senior to all common stock; (ii) senior to any class or series of capital stock hereafter created and expressly ranking junior to the Series AAA Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); and (iii) on parity with any class or series of capital stock hereafter created and expressly ranking on parity with the Series AAA Preferred Stock (“Parity Securities”), in each case as to distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a “Dissolution”).
Upon a Dissolution, each holder of Series AAA Preferred Stock is entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distributions to holders of common stock and Junior Securities, and pari passu with any distribution to holders of Parity Securities, an amount per share equal to the greater of: (i) the Stated Value, plus any dividends declared but unpaid on such share, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock been converted into common stock (without regard to any restrictions on conversion) immediately prior to such Dissolution. If the Company’s assets are insufficient to pay such amounts in full, holders of Series AAA Preferred Stock and Parity Securities shall share in the available assets pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts otherwise payable on their shares.
For the avoidance of doubt, a change in control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Dissolution.
Conversion Rights
Each holder of Series AAA Preferred Stock has the right, at its option, at any time and from time to time, after (A) stockholder approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock sufficient to permit full conversion of the Series AAA Preferred Stock and any outstanding Series AA Preferred Stock and (B) stockholder approval of the conversion itself in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules (collectively, the “Stockholder Approvals”), and after the Company files a corresponding Charter Amendment, to convert all or any portion of its shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion equals the Stated Value divided by the Conversion Price in effect at the time of conversion.
The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the Certificate of Designations. The initial Conversion Price is The initial Conversion Price is $0.008 per share, subject to adjustment.
Fractional shares of common stock will not be issued upon conversion. In lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation: Notwithstanding the general conversion right, the Company shall not effect, and no holder shall have the right to effect, any conversion of Series AAA Preferred Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, the holder (together with any affiliate and any other person acting as a group with the holder or its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). The Board may waive or increase the Beneficial Ownership Limitation with respect to any holder at any time in its sole discretion.
Conversion Price Adjustments: The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment in the following circumstances:
| ● | Stock subdivisions: If the number of shares of common stock outstanding is increased by a stock split or subdivision, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately decreased so that the number of shares issuable upon conversion increases proportionately. |
| ● | Stock combinations: If the number of outstanding shares of common stock is decreased by a combination, the Conversion Price shall be proportionately increased. |
13
| ● | Stock dividends: If the Company pays a dividend in additional shares of common stock, the Conversion Price shall be decreased by multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares outstanding before such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares outstanding after giving effect to such dividend. |
| ● | Reorganization, reclassification, merger, or consolidation: Provision shall be made so that holders of Series AAA Preferred Stock receive upon conversion the kind and amount of stock, cash, or other property they would have received had they converted immediately prior to such event. |
Following receipt of the Stockholder Approvals and filing of the Charter Amendment, the Company is required to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, sufficient authorized but unissued shares of common stock (or common stock held in treasury) to permit conversion of all outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock.
The Company is responsible for paying all original issuance, transfer, stamp, and similar taxes arising on conversion, except for any taxes payable by reason of a transfer of the common stock to a person other than the holder of the Series AAA Preferred Stock being converted.
Redemption Rights
The Series AAA Preferred Stock is subject to both optional Company redemption and a holder retraction right.
Company’s Optional Redemption: The “Redemption Price” is defined as $200.00 per share of Series AAA Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, combinations, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, or similar events), plus any declared but unpaid dividends. Subject to Section 160 of the DGCL and the availability of legally available funds, the Company may, at any time, redeem all or any portion of the outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the holders.
Holder Retraction Right: At any time on or after the issuance date of the Series AAA Preferred Stock, any holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of such holder’s shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock at the Redemption Price by delivering written notice to the Company.
Payment Mechanics: The Redemption Price is payable in cash; provided that the holder may elect, to the extent permitted by the DGCL and applicable stock exchange rules, to satisfy the Redemption Price in shares of common stock valued at the volume-weighted average price over the sixty (60) Trading Days immediately preceding the redemption date.
Effect of Redemption: Upon payment of the Redemption Price, the redeemed shares shall be cancelled, retired, and shall not be reissued.
As noted above, the Redemption Price is $200.00 per share (subject to adjustment for stock dividends, splits, combinations, and similar events), plus any declared but unpaid dividends.
Preemptive Rights
The Company is required to reserve shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion free from preemptive rights. The Certificate of Designations does not otherwise provide any preemptive rights to holders of the Series AAA Preferred Stock.
14
Waiver
Any provision of the Certificate of Designations may be waived on behalf of all holders of Series AAA Preferred Stock by the affirmative written consent or vote of the Requisite Holders (i.e., holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Series AAA Preferred Stock).
Number of Directors; Vacancies; Removal
Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that only our Board may increase or decrease the number of directors. Any vacancy on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less than a quorum of the Board. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected for the unexpired term of his predecessor in office, and shall hold such office until the next annual election and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors shall be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office or by an election at an annual meeting, or at a special meeting of stockholders called for that purpose. A director chosen to fill a position resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholder.
Our Bylaws provide that any director or directors of the corporation may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and by the vote or written consent of stockholders representing not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to voting power.
Authorized Shares
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of common stock is required to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class we have authority to issue. Issuance of such a new class or series could, depending upon the terms of the class or series, delay, defer, or prevent a change of control of the Company.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our Bylaws contain advance notice provisions that a stockholder must follow if it intends to bring business proposals or director nominations, as applicable, before a meeting of stockholders. These provisions may preclude our stockholders from bringing matters before the annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations at the annual meeting of stockholders.
No Cumulative Voting
Holders of our common shares do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. The absence of cumulative voting may make it more difficult for stockholders owning less than a majority of our common shares to elect any directors to our Board.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
Because our stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights, stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of our shares of common stock will be able to elect all of our directors. A special meeting of stockholders may only be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Executive Chairman of the Company or a majority of our Board. Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws grant the Board the power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws.
The foregoing provisions will make it more difficult for another party to obtain control of us by replacing our board of directors. Since our board of directors has the power to retain and discharge our officers, these provisions could also make it more difficult for existing stockholders or another party to effect a change in management. In addition, the authorization of undesignated preferred stock makes it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change our control.
15
These provisions are intended to: facilitate our continued product innovation and the risk-taking that it requires; permit us to continue to prioritize our long-term goals rather than short-term results; and enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of our board of directors and its policies. These provisions are also designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition attempt and to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in our control or management. As a consequence, these provisions may also inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.
Choice of Forum
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner of stock) to bring: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of, or claim based on, breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders to us or to our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws; (iv) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Charter or Bylaws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our Charter also provides the, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any claims for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed for the following:
| ● | any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders; |
| ● | any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| ● | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and |
| ● | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. |
As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above.
Our Bylaws provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify any officer or director of our company against all damages, claims and liabilities arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director, officer or trustee. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision. Amending this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.

Transfer and Exchange
Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, or the Depositary, or a nominee of the Depositary (we will refer to any debt security represented by a global debt security as a “book-entry debt security”), or a certificate issued in definitive registered form (we will refer to any debt security represented by a certificated security as a “certificated debt security”) as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. Except as set forth under the heading “Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System” below, book-entry debt securities will not be issuable in certificated form.
Certificated Debt Securities. You may transfer or exchange certificated debt securities at any office we maintain for this purpose in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

No Protection in the Event of a Change of Control
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.
19
Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets
We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person (a “successor person”) unless:
| ● | we are the surviving corporation or the successor person (if other than SOWG) is a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of any U.S. domestic jurisdiction and expressly assumes our obligations on the debt securities and under the indenture; and |
| ● | immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing. |
Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us. (Section 5.1)
Events of Default
“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
| ● | default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period); |
| ● | default in the payment of principal of any security of that series at its maturity; |
| ● | default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or PROS and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture; |
| ● | certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of PROS; or |
| ● | any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement. (Section 6.1). |
No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. (Section 6.1) The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain indebtedness of ours or our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.
We will provide the trustee written notice of any Default or Event of Default within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, which notice will describe in reasonable detail the status of such Default or Event of Default and what action we are taking or propose to take in respect thereof. (Section 6.1)
20
If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. (Section 6.2) We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
The indenture provides that the trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in performing such duty or exercising such right or power. (Section 7.1(e)) Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series. (Section 6.12)
No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:
| ● | that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and |
| ● | the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered indemnity or security satisfactory to the trustee, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days. (Section 6.7) |
Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment. (Section 6.8)
The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. (Section 4.3) If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each securityholder of the securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs or, if later, after a responsible officer of the trustee has knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities. (Section 7.5)
21
Modification and Waiver
We and the trustee may modify, amend or supplement the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:
| ● | to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; |
| ● | to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets”; |
| ● | to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities; |
| ● | to add guarantees with respect to debt securities of any series or secure debt securities of any series; |
| ● | to surrender any of our rights or powers under the indenture; |
| ● | to add covenants or events of default for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any series; |
| ● | to comply with the applicable procedures of the applicable depositary; |
| ● | to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities; |
| ● | to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture; |
| ● | to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or |
| ● | to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act. (Section 9.1) |
We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments. We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:
| ● | reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; |
| ● | reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security; |
| ● | reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities; |
| ● | reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity; |
| ● | waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration); |
22
| ● | make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security; |
| ● | make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; or |
| ● | waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security. (Section 9.3) |
Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. (Section 9.2) The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration. (Section 6.13)
Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances
Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the irrevocable deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money or U.S. government obligations in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.
This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. (Section 8.3)
Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:
| ● | we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and |
| ● | any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series (“covenant defeasance”). |
23
The conditions include:
| ● | depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and |
| ● | delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred. (Section 8.4) |
No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees or Stockholders
None of our past, present or future directors, officers, employees or stockholders, as such, will have any liability for any of our obligations under the debt securities or the indenture or for any claim based on, or in respect or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. By accepting a debt security, each holder waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release is part of the consideration for the issue of the debt securities. However, this waiver and release may not be effective to waive liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws, and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the indenture or the securities, will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
The indenture will provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the indenture, the debt securities or the transactions contemplated thereby.
The indenture will provide that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon the indenture or the transactions contemplated thereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City of New York, and we, the trustee and the holder of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. The indenture will further provide that service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail (to the extent allowed under any applicable statute or rule of court) to such party’s address set forth in the indenture will be effective service of process for any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any such court. The indenture will further provide that we, the trustee and the holders of the debt securities (by their acceptance of the debt securities) irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or other proceeding in the courts specified above and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim any such suit, action or other proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. (Section 10.10)
24
We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of our common stock or preferred stock. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. Each series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and the investors or a warrant agent. The following summary of material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement and warrant certificate applicable to a particular series of warrants. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement and any related free writing prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements and warrant certificates that contain the terms of the warrants.
The particular terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:
| ● | the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares and the price at which such number of shares may be purchased upon such exercise; |
| ● | the designation, stated value and terms (including, without limitation, liquidation, dividend, conversion and voting rights) of the series of preferred stock purchasable upon exercise of warrants to purchase preferred stock; |
| ● | the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related preferred stock or common stock will be separately transferable; |
| ● | the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; |
| ● | the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire; |
| ● | United States Federal income tax consequences applicable to the warrants; and |
| ● | any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants. |
Holders of equity warrants will not be entitled:
| ● | to vote, consent or receive dividends; |
| ● | receive notice as shareholders with respect to any meeting of shareholders for the election of our directors or any other matter; or |
| ● | exercise any rights as shareholders of Sow Good. |
Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the number of shares of preferred stock or common stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock are exercised, the holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common stock or preferred stock, including any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred stock, if any.
25
We may issue units consisting of any combination of the other types of securities offered under this prospectus in one or more series. We may evidence each series of units by unit certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We may enter into unit agreements with a unit agent. Each unit agent will be a bank or trust company that we select. We will indicate the name and address of the unit agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of units.
The following description, together with the additional information included in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the general features of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. You should read any prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you related to the series of units being offered, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units. Specific unit agreements will contain additional important terms and provisions and we will file as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, or will incorporate by reference from another report that we file with the SEC, the form of each unit agreement relating to units offered under this prospectus.
If we offer any units, certain terms of that series of units will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the following, as applicable:
| ● | the title of the series of units; |
| ● | identification and description of the separate constituent securities comprising the units; |
| ● | the price or prices at which the units will be issued; |
| ● | the date, if any, on and after which the constituent securities comprising the units will be separately transferable; |
| ● | a discussion of certain United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the units; and |
| ● | any other terms of the units and their constituent securities. |
26
Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
Unless we indicate differently in any applicable prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, the securities initially will be issued in book-entry form and represented by one or more global notes or global securities, or, collectively, global securities. The global securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, as depositary, or DTC, and registered in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC. Unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates evidencing securities under the limited circumstances described below, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.
DTC has advised us that it is:
| ● | a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law; |
| ● | a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law; |
| ● | a member of the Federal Reserve System; |
| ● | a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and |
| ● | a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. |
DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. “Direct participants” in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, including underwriters, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, or DTCC. DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, which we sometimes refer to as indirect participants, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.
Purchases of securities under the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser of a security, which we sometimes refer to as a beneficial owner, is in turn recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners of securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases. However, beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of their transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased securities. Transfers of ownership interests in global securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the global securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.
To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities deposited by direct participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other nominee will not change the beneficial ownership of the securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
27
So long as the securities are in book-entry form, you will receive payments and may transfer securities only through the facilities of the depositary and its direct and indirect participants. We will maintain an office or agency in the location specified in the prospectus supplement for the applicable securities, where notices and demands in respect of the securities may be delivered to us and where certificated securities may be surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange.
Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time.
Redemption notices will be sent to DTC. If less than all of the securities of a particular series are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the securities of such series to be redeemed.
Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (or such other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the securities of such series are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.
So long as securities are in book-entry form, we will make payments on those securities to the depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of such securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If securities are issued in definitive certificated form under the limited circumstances described below and unless if otherwise provided in the description of the applicable securities herein or in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will have the option of making payments by check mailed to the addresses of the persons entitled to payment or by wire transfer to bank accounts in the United States designated in writing to the applicable trustee or other designated party at least 15 days before the applicable payment date by the persons entitled to payment, unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the applicable trustee or other designated party.
Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from us on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility of participants and not of DTC or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.
Except under the limited circumstances described below, purchasers of securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC and its participants to exercise any rights under the securities.
The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. Those laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in securities.
DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depositary with respect to the securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, securities certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
28
As noted above, beneficial owners of a particular series of securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in those securities. However, if:
| ● | DTC notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the global security or securities representing such series of securities or if DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the notification to us or of our becoming aware of DTC’s ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be; |
| ● | we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have such securities represented by one or more global securities; or |
| ● | an event of default has occurred and is continuing with respect to such series of securities, |
we will prepare and deliver certificates for such securities in exchange for beneficial interests in the global securities. Any beneficial interest in a global security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names that the depositary directs. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global securities.
Euroclear and Clearstream
If so provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, you may hold interests in a global security through Clearstream Banking S.A., which we refer to as “Clearstream,” or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System, which we refer to as “Euroclear,” either directly if you are a participant in Clearstream or Euroclear or indirectly through organizations which are participants in Clearstream or Euroclear. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their respective participants through customers’ securities accounts in the names of Clearstream and Euroclear, respectively, on the books of their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold such interests in customers’ securities accounts in such depositaries’ names on DTC’s books.
Clearstream and Euroclear are securities clearance systems in Europe. Clearstream and Euroclear hold securities for their respective participating organizations and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between those participants through electronic book-entry changes in their accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates.
Payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other matters relating to beneficial interests in global securities owned through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on one hand, and other participants in DTC, on the other hand, are also subject to DTC’s rules and procedures.
Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers and other transactions involving any beneficial interests in global securities held through those systems only on days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other institutions are open for business in the United States.
Cross-market transfers between participants in DTC, on the one hand, and participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with the DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by their respective U.S. depositaries; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in the global securities through DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement. Participants in Euroclear or Clearstream may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.
29
Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream purchasing an interest in a global security from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant participant in Euroclear or Clearstream, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of interests in a global security by or through a participant in Euroclear or Clearstream to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following DTC’s settlement date.
Other
The information in this section of this prospectus concerning DTC, Clearstream, Euroclear and their respective book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we do not take responsibility for this information. This information has been provided solely as a matter of convenience. The rules and procedures of DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear are solely within the control of those organizations and could change at any time. Neither we nor the trustee nor any agent of ours or of the trustee has any control over those entities and none of us takes any responsibility for their activities. You are urged to contact DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their respective participants directly to discuss those matters. In addition, although we expect that DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear will perform the foregoing procedures, none of them is under any obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither we nor any agent of ours will have any responsibility for the performance or nonperformance by DTC, Clearstream and Euroclear or their respective participants of these or any other rules or procedures governing their respective operations.
30
We are registering the offer, issuance and sale by us of up to $1,000,000,000 in the aggregate of the securities identified herein from time to time in one or more offerings, and the offer and resale from time to time by the selling stockholders, or their permitted transferees, of up to 109,009,250 shares.
We will receive proceeds from the issuance and sale of our common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or units. We will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by us in connection with the sale of securities by us.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. The aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders will be the purchase price of the shares less any discounts and commissions borne by the selling stockholders.
The selling stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the selling stockholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of the securities. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, Nasdaq Capital Market listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accountants.
The securities to be offered and sold by us covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time. The shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. The term “selling stockholders” includes their permitted transferees who later come to hold any of the selling stockholders interest in the common stock in accordance with the terms of the agreement(s) governing the registration rights applicable to such selling stockholders’ shares, if any. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale.
Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in negotiated transactions. We and each selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with our and its respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchase of securities to be made directly or through agents. We, the selling stockholders and any of their permitted transferees may sell the securities offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. If underwriters are used in the sale, such underwriters will acquire the shares for their own account. These sales may be at a fixed price or varying prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The securities may be offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered if any of the securities are purchased.
We or, subject to the limitations set forth in any applicable registration rights agreement, the selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the securities offered by this prospectus:
| ● | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus; |
| ● | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| ● | block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| ● | an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the Nasdaq; |
31
| ● | through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis; |
| ● | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| ● | agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the securities at a stipulated price per share or warrant; |
| ● | in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices; |
| ● | at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents; |
| ● | directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions; |
| ● | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| ● | distribution to employees, members, limited partners or securityholders of the selling stockholders; |
| ● | by pledge to secure debts and other obligations; |
| ● | delayed delivery requirements; |
| ● | through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or |
| ● | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
There can be no assurance that we or the selling stockholders will sell all or any of the securities offered by this prospectus. In addition, we and the selling stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, or in other transactions exempt from registration, rather than under this prospectus. We and the selling stockholders, as applicable, have the sole and absolute discretion not to accept any purchase offer or make any sale of securities if we or they deem the purchase price to be unsatisfactory at any particular time.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a selling stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell our securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a selling stockholder.
With respect to a particular offering of the securities by us or of shares held by the selling stockholders, to the extent required, an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is part, will be prepared and will set forth the following information:
| ● | the specific securities to be offered and sold; |
| ● | the names of the selling stockholders; |
| ● | the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the proceeds to be received from the sale, if any, and other material terms of the offering; |
32
| ● | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| ● | the names of any participating agents, broker-dealers or underwriters; and |
| ● | any applicable commissions, discounts, concessions and other items constituting compensation from us or the selling stockholders. |
In connection with distributions of the shares or otherwise, the selling stockholders 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 shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also sell the shares short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares 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 stockholders may also pledge securities to a broker-dealer or other financial institution, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial institution, may effect sales of the pledged shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
In order to facilitate the offering of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus, any underwriters or agents, as the case may be, involved in the offering of such securities may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our securities. Specifically, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may overallot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in our securities for their own account. In addition, to cover overallotments or to stabilize the price of our securities, the underwriters or agents, as the case may be, may bid for, and purchase, such securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allotted to an underwriter or a broker-dealer for distributing such securities in the offering if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. The underwriters or agents, as the case may be, are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.
We and the selling stockholders may solicit offers to purchase the securities directly from, and may sell such securities directly to, institutional investors or others. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. The terms of any of those sales, including the terms of any bidding or auction process, if utilized, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
It is possible that one or more underwriters may make a market in our securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot give any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for our securities. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “SOWG.”
We and the selling stockholders may authorize underwriters, broker-dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be subject only to those conditions set forth in the prospectus supplement, and the prospectus supplement will set forth any commissions we or the selling stockholders pay for solicitation of these contracts.
A selling stockholder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell shares not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use shares pledged by any selling stockholder or borrowed from any selling stockholder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of common stock, and may use shares received from any selling stockholder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of common stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, any selling stockholder may otherwise loan or pledge shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the shares short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
33
In effecting sales, broker-dealers or agents engaged by us or the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate. Broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from us or the selling stockholders in amounts to be negotiated immediately prior to the sale.
In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the aggregate maximum discount, commission, fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will not exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of any offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement.
If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA Rule 5121 (“Rule 5121”), that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of Rule 5121.
To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the shares by the selling stockholders. Upon our notification by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file, if required by applicable law or regulation, a supplement to this prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act disclosing certain material information relating to such underwriter or broker-dealer and such offering.
Underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may facilitate the marketing of an offering online directly or through one of their affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and, depending upon the particular underwriter, broker-dealer or agent, place orders online or through their financial advisors.
In offering the securities covered by this prospectus, we, the selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of those securities may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
The underwriters, broker-dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us or the selling stockholders, may have banking, lending or other relationships with us or perform services for us or the selling stockholders, in the ordinary course of business.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the securities must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the securities 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.
The selling stockholders and any other persons participating in the sale or distribution of the securities will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M. These provisions may restrict certain activities of, and limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by, the selling stockholders or any other person, which limitations may affect the marketability of the shares of the securities.
We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any agent, broker-dealer or underwriter that participates in transactions involving the sale of the securities against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
II-1
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporation’s certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, 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 stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify each person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of us) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (all such persons being referred to as an “Indemnitee”), or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal therefrom, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we will indemnify any Indemnitee who was or is a party to an action or suit by or in the right of us to procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer, or is or was serving, or has agreed to serve, at our request as a director, officer, partner, employee or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and any appeal therefrom, if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is entitled to indemnification of such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Indemnitee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she will be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. Expenses must be advanced to an Indemnitee under certain circumstances.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers for some expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of his or her service as one of our directors or officers, or any of our subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at our request.
II-2
We maintain a general liability insurance policy that covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of our corporation arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.
Any underwriting agreement or distribution agreement that the registrant enters into with any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any securities registered hereby may require such underwriters or dealers to indemnify the registrant, some or all of its directors and officers and its controlling persons, if any, for specified liabilities, which may include liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 16. Exhibits
| * | To be filed by amendment or incorporated by reference in connection with the offering of the securities. |
II-3
Item 17. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (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 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 a part of the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
II-4
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communications that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act.
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.
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 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.
