Overview
We are a medical diagnostics company developingrapid tests using whole blood on our Symphony technology platform, or Symphony, to improve patient outcomes in critical care settings.Our Symphony platform is a combination of our intellectual property, or IP, and exclusively licensed and patented IP that consists ofa mobile device and single-use test cartridges that if cleared, authorized, or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or theFDA, can provide a solution to a significant market need in the United States. Clinical trials indicate the Symphony device produces laboratory-qualityresults in less than 20 minutes in critical care settings, including intensive care units and emergency rooms where rapid and reliableresults are required.
Our first product, the Symphony IL-6 test, isfor the monitoring of disease progression in critical care settings. IL-6 is a clinically established inflammatory biomarker, and is considereda ‘first-responder,’ for assessment of severity of infection and inflammation across many disease indications, including sepsis.A current challenge of healthcare professionals is the excessive time and cost associated determining a patient’s level of severityat triage and our Symphony IL-6 test has the ability to consistently monitor this critical care biomarker with rapid results.
In the future we plan to develop additional testsfor Symphony including two cardiac biomarkers (hsTNT and NT pro-BNP) as well as other tests using the Symphony platform. We do not yethave regulatory clearance for our Symphony products, and our Symphony products will need to receive regulatory authorization from theFDA in order to be marketed as a diagnostic product in the United States.
Our operations to date have been funded primarilythrough the proceeds of our initial public offering, or the IPO, in November 2021, or the IPO Date. We were incorporated under the lawsof Delaware on March 20, 2015. Our headquarters is located in Acton, Massachusetts.
Our Market
The Symphony platform and our initial biomarkertest, Symphony IL-6 test, is well suited to address a subset of the global in vitro diagnostics devices, or IVDs, market, includingsepsis, cardio-metabolic diseases, cancer and other diseases that require rapid tests. Symphony targets critical care markets where physiciansmust quickly determine patient acuity to identify optimal treatment regimens.
Our Business Model
Our goal is to become the first provider of rapidtests for infectious, inflammatory and metabolic diseases by leveraging the strengths of our Symphony platform. We intend to target oursales and marketing of Symphony to the largest critical care facilities in the United States. Our business model includes the following:
● | Attractive Financing Model. We intend to offervarious financing options for the device itself. As such, our business model should not require customers to incur a significant capitaloutlay. |
● | Recurring Revenue. We intend to sell single-usediagnostic test cartridges. We believe that our cartridges can create a growing and recurring revenue stream, as adoption and utilizationincreases, and as we develop tests for additional indications. We expect the sale of test cartridges to generate the majority of our revenueand gross profit. |
● | Expand our Menu of Diagnostic Products. As adoptionincreases, the average customer use of the Symphony platform should also increase. As we expand our test menu, we hope to be able to increaseour annual revenue per customer through the resulting increase in utilization. |

The Symphony Platform
The Symphony platform is an innovative and proprietarytechnology platform that provides rapid and accurate measurements of key diagnostic biomarkers found in whole blood. Symphony is compactand can be deployed mobile as compared to current laboratory diagnostic platforms. Symphony incorporates a user-friendly interface whereall sample preparation and reagents are integrated into disposable Symphony cartridges. Symphony only requires a few drops of blood toprovide a measurement in less than 20 minutes.
The Symphony analyzer orchestrates whole bloodprocessing, biomarker isolation, and immunoassay preparation using non-contact centrifugal force. All necessary reagents and componentsare integrated into the Symphony cartridges. Utilizing precision microchannel technology and high specificity antibodies, whole bloodis processed, and the biomarker is isolated within the Symphony cartridge. Intermitted centrifugation cycles enable complex fluid movements,allowing sequential reagent additions and independent reaction steps inside the hermitically sealed Symphony cartridge. At the conclusionof the test, the Symphony analyzer measures the fluorescence signature correlating to a highly sensitive quantitation of the biomarker.
To perform a Symphony test, the test operatoradds three drops of blood to the Symphony cartridge. After scanning in the patient ID, the Symphony cartridge is inserted into the Symphonyanalyzer and the test runs automatically. Each analyzer can run up to six cartridges simultaneously, either with six different patientsamples or six different tests, in less than 20 minutes, providing quantitative measurements used for improved patient management andclinical decision-making.
Manufacturing
We plan to manufacture both our devices and cartridgesthrough Contract Manufacturing Organizations, or CMOs. We have contracts with Toray Industries, Inc, or Toray, to manufacture our cartridgesand Sanyoseiko Co. Ltd., or Sanyoseiko, to manufacture both our device and cartridges. Each of our partners are well-established globalmanufacturing companies with capabilities to scale up, re-design and supply our devices and cartridges.
Sanyoseiko had been selected as our CMO, thoughin the near-term Toray will continue to develop, validate and manufacture our IL-6 cartridges as our pilot-manufacturing partner. We expectto meet the demands of our global market. Both Toray’s and Sanyoseiko’s facilities are located in Japan. We license the technologyfor the Symphony cartridges from Toray. Our license grants us exclusive global use with the exception of Japan.
Regulatory Strategy
Our current regulatory strategy is designed tosupport commercialization of Symphony in the United States pending authorization from the FDA. The FDA has identified Symphony as a denovo device, and we are subject to the de novo authorization regulatory pathway, which includes expansion of our clinical studies.We have several clinical studies currently active, all designed to support our de novo FDA submission. We have targeted large,well-known medical and academic institutions for our studies, which should also help support initial commercialization and market penetration.This clinical trial expansion could also support additional indications. The expansion also could delay obtaining marketing authorizationfor the product.
Sales and Marketing
Until Symphony products are authorized by theFDA, we expect to focus our sales and marketing efforts on brand awareness and market education to potential customers, emphasizing thevalue of monitoring a critical care patient’s IL-6 levels to improve decision making and patient outcomes. If cleared or approvedby the FDA, we intend to target sales to ERs and ICUs at United States hospitals, as well as to long-term acute care facilities. We planto establish a market presence by selling Symphony devices and tests both directly and through various distribution channels to maximizesales volume and market penetration.

License Agreement
On October 6, 2020, we entered into a Licenseand Supply Agreement, as amended, or the License Agreement, with Toray, providing us with an exclusive global license with Toray, excludingJapan, to use their patents and know-how related to the Symphony detection cartridges for the manufacturing, marketing and sale of theproducts (as defined in the License Agreement). We also have a nonexclusive license for the same purposes in Japan. The agreement terminatesin 2029 upon expiration of the last of the patents included in the license.
In connection with entering into the License Agreement,we are required to pay a 15% royalty fee for the period that any underlying patents exist or for five years after the first sale for thelicensed technology after obtaining regulatory approval based on a percentage of our “Net Sales” of products using these technologies(as defined in the license Agreement) with a minimum royalty of $60,000 for the initial year that royalties are payable increasing toa minimum of $100,000 thereafter.
Intellectual Property, Proprietary Technology
We do not currently hold any patents directly.We rely on a combination either directly or through the License Agreement with Toray of patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark, confidentialityagreements, and contractual protection to establish and protect our proprietary rights.
Competition
Our primary competition in the IL-6 market islaboratory size equipment including the Roche Cobas®, Siemens ADVIA Centaur® and Beckman Coulter Access2®, which require pre-processing of whole blood prior to performing their test. We believe that our technology, which useswhole blood, provides us with a substantial competitive advantage over our existing competition that will sustain through commercialization,despite the major life science companies and consistent entry of innovative start-ups that define our competitive landscape.
Employees
As of June 5, 2023, we have 14 full-time employees.We also contract with several consultants and contractors performing regulatory advisory, investor relations and manufacturing scale-upsupport. None of our employees are represented by labor unions or covered by collective bargaining agreements.

Any decision topay dividends on our common stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors may or may not determineto declare dividends in the future.

Our Board of Directors could, without stockholder approval, issue preferredstock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and whichcould have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire,a majority of our outstanding voting stock. We have no shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Anti-TakeoverEffects of Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation, Our Bylaws and Delaware Law
Someprovisions of Delaware law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws contain provisionsthat could make hostile takeovers, including the following transactions, more difficult: an acquisition of us by means of a tender offer;an acquisition of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise; or the removal of our incumbent officers and directors. As a consequence,they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostiletakeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in the composition of our board and management. Itis possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that stockholders may otherwiseconsider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions which provide for payment of a premium over themarket price for our shares.
Theseprovisions, summarized below, are intended to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions arealso designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our Board of Directors. We believe that thebenefits of the increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposalto acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals couldresult in an improvement of their terms.
11
DelawareAnti-Takeover Statute
Weare subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits persons deemed to be “interested stockholders”from engaging in a “business combination” with a publicly held Delaware corporation for three years following the date thesepersons become interested stockholders unless the business combination is, or the transaction in which the person became an interestedstockholder was, approved in a prescribed manner or another prescribed exception applies. Generally, an “interested stockholder”is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholderstatus did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger,asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. The existence of this provisionmay have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors. A Delaware corporationmay “opt out” of these provisions with an express provision in its original certificate of incorporation or an express provisionin its certificate of incorporation or bylaws resulting from a stockholders’ amendment approved by at least a majority ofthe outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of these provisions. As a result, mergers or other takeover or change in controlattempts of us may be discouraged or prevented.
UndesignatedPreferred Stock
Theability of our Board of Directors, without action by the stockholders, to issue undesignated shares of preferred stock with voting orother rights or preferences as designated by our Board of Directors could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us.These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.
AuthorizedCommon Stock
Ourauthorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval. These additional sharesmay be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital and corporate acquisitions.The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain controlof a majority of our common stock by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
AdvanceNotice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Ouramended and restated bylaws will provide advance notice procedures for stockholders seeking to bring business before our annual meetingof stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at any meeting of stockholders. Our amended and restated bylaws alsowill specify certain requirements regarding the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may preclude our stockholdersfrom bringing matters before our annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at our meetings of stockholders.
No CumulativeVoting; No Action Without a Meeting; Special Meeting of Stockholders
Stockholderswill not be permitted to cumulate their votes for the election of directors. In addition, stockholders will not be able to take actionby written consent and will only be able to take action at annual or special meetings of our stockholders. Furthermore, special meetingsof our stockholders may be called only by our Chief Executive Officer, our President or our Board of Directors.
12
ExclusiveForum Selection
Ouramended and restated certificate of incorporation will require, to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to limited exceptions,that derivative actions brought in our name, actions against directors, officers and employees for breach of fiduciary duty and othersimilar actions may be brought only in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and, if brought outside of Delaware, the stockholderbringing the suit will be deemed to have consented to service of process on such stockholder’s counsel in any action brought toenforce the exclusive forum provision. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stockshall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.
Notwithstandingthe foregoing, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liabilitycreated by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrentjurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or therules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will provide that the Court of Chancery and the federaldistrict court for the District of Delaware will have concurrent jurisdiction over any action arising under the Securities Act or therules and regulations thereunder, and the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liabilitycreated by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.To the extent the exclusive forum provision restricts the courts in which our stockholders may bring claims arising under the SecuritiesAct and the rules and regulations thereunder, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision. Investors cannotwaive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Althoughwe believe this provision benefits our company by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types oflawsuits to which it applies, a court may determine that this provision is unenforceable, and to the extent it is enforceable, the provisionmay have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers and increasing the cost to stockholders of bringing suchlawsuits.
TransferAgent and Registrar
Thetransfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, NewYork 10004.
StockMarket Listing
Ourcommon stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BJDX.”

DESCRIPTIONOF OUR DEPOSITARY SHARES
General
Wemay, at our option, elect to offer fractional shares of preferred stock, which we call depositary shares, rather than full shares ofpreferred stock. If we do, we will issue to the public receipts, called depositary receipts, for depositary shares, each of which willrepresent a fraction, to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement, of a share of a particular series of preferred stock.Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, in proportion to the applicablefractional interest in a share of preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the preferredstock represented by the depositary share. Those rights include dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.
Theshares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited with a bank or trust company selected by us to act as depositaryunder a deposit agreement between us, the depositary and the holders of the depositary receipts. The depositary will be the transferagent, registrar and dividend disbursing agent for the depositary shares.
Thedepositary shares will be evidenced by depositary receipts issued pursuant to the deposit agreement. Holders of depositary receipts agreeto be bound by the deposit agreement, which requires holders to take certain actions such as filing proof of residence and paying certaincharges.
Thesummary of terms of the depositary shares contained in this prospectus is not a complete description of the terms of the depository shares.You should refer to the form of the deposit agreement, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designationfor the applicable series of preferred stock that are, or will be, filed with the SEC.
Dividendsand Other Distributions
Thedepositary will distribute all cash dividends or other cash distributions, if any, received in respect of the preferred stock underlyingthe depositary shares to the record holders of depositary shares in proportion to the numbers of depositary shares owned by those holderson the relevant record date. The relevant record date for depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the underlyingpreferred stock.
Ifthere is a distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property (including securities) received by it to the recordholders of depositary shares, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make the distribution. If this occurs, thedepositary may, with our approval, adopt another method for the distribution, including selling the property and distributing the netproceeds from the sale to the holders.
LiquidationPreference
Ifa series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares has a liquidation preference, in the event of the voluntary or involuntaryliquidation, dissolution or winding up of us, holders of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the fraction of the liquidationpreference accorded each share of the applicable series of preferred stock, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Withdrawalof Stock
Unlessthe related depositary shares have been previously called for redemption, upon surrender of the depositary receipts at the office ofthe depositary, the holder of the depositary shares will be entitled to delivery, at the office of the depositary to or upon his or herorder, of the number of whole shares of the preferred stock and any money or other property represented by the depositary shares. Ifthe depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the number of depositary shares representingthe number of whole shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will deliver to the holder at the same time a new depositaryreceipt evidencing the excess number of depositary shares. In no event will the depositary deliver fractional shares of preferred stockupon surrender of depositary receipts. Holders of preferred stock thus withdrawn may not thereafter deposit those shares under the depositagreement or receive depositary receipts evidencing depositary shares therefor.
14
Redemptionof Depositary Shares
Wheneverwe redeem shares of preferred stock held by the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositaryshares representing shares of the preferred stock so redeemed, so long as we have paid in full to the depositary the redemption priceof the preferred stock to be redeemed plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the preferred stock to the datefixed for redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the redemption price and any other amounts per sharepayable on the preferred stock multiplied by the fraction of a share of preferred stock represented by one depositary share. If lessthan all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or pro rata or by anyother equitable method as may be determined by the depositary.
Afterthe date fixed for redemption, depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of theholders of depositary shares will cease, except the right to receive the monies payable upon redemption and any money or other propertyto which the holders of the depositary shares were entitled upon redemption upon surrender to the depositary of the depositary receiptsevidencing the depositary shares.
Votingthe Preferred Stock
Uponreceipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the preferred stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the informationcontained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts relating to that preferred stock. The record datefor the depositary receipts relating to the preferred stock will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock. Each recordholder of the depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary as to the exercise of the voting rightspertaining to the number of shares of preferred stock represented by that holder’s depositary shares. The depositary will endeavor,insofar as practicable, to vote the number of shares of preferred stock represented by the depositary shares in accordance with thoseinstructions, and we will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary todo so. The depositary will not vote any shares of preferred stock except to the extent it receives specific instructions from the holdersof depositary shares representing that number of shares of preferred stock.
Chargesof Depositary
Wewill pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. We willpay charges of the depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the preferred stock and any redemption of the preferred stock.Holders of depositary receipts will pay transfer, income and other taxes and governmental charges and such other charges (including thosein connection with the receipt and distribution of dividends, the sale or exercise of rights, the withdrawal of the preferred stock andthe transferring, splitting or grouping of depositary receipts) as are expressly provided in the deposit agreement to be for their accounts.If these charges have not been paid by the holders of depositary receipts, the depositary may refuse to transfer depositary shares, withholddividends and distributions and sell the depositary shares evidenced by the depositary receipt. A discussion of material U.S. federalincome tax considerations will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
15
Amendmentand Termination of the Deposit Agreement
Theform of depositary receipt evidencing the depositary shares and any provision of the deposit agreement may be amended by agreement betweenus and the depositary. However, any amendment that materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of depositary shares, otherthan fee changes, will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding depositaryshares. The deposit agreement may be terminated by the depositary or us only if:
● | all outstanding depositary shares have been redeemed; or |
● | there has been a final distribution of the preferred stock in connection with our dissolution and such distribution has been made to all the holders of depositary shares. |

Our obligations and those of the depositary will be limited to performance in good faith of our and their duties thereunder.We and the depositary will not be obligated to prosecute or defend any legal proceeding in respect of any depositary shares or preferredstock unless satisfactory indemnity is furnished.

19
Eachdebt security, depositary share, warrant, unit and security right may be represented either by a certificate issued in definitive formto a particular investor or by one or more global securities representing the entire issuance of securities. Unless the applicable prospectussupplement provides otherwise, certificated securities in definitive form and global securities will be issued in registered form. Definitivesecurities name you or your nominee as the owner of the security, and in order to transfer or exchange these securities or to receivepayments other than interest or other interim payments, you or your nominee must physically deliver the securities to the trustee, registrar,paying agent or other agent, as applicable. Global securities name a depositary or its nominee as the owner of the debt securities, depositaryshares, warrants, rights or units represented by these global securities. The depositary maintains a computerized system that will reflecteach investor’s beneficial ownership of the securities through an account maintained by the investor with its broker/dealer, bank,trust company or other representative, as we explain more fully below.
GlobalSecurities
Wemay issue the debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, rights or units in the form of one or more fully registered global securitiesthat will be deposited with a depositary or its nominee identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and registered in the nameof that depositary or nominee. In those cases, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominationsequal to the portion of the aggregate principal or face amount of the securities to be represented by global securities. Unless and untilit is exchanged in whole for securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be transferred except as a whole byand among the depositary for the global security, the nominees of the depositary or any successors of the depositary or those nominees.
Ifnot described below, any specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any securities to be represented by a global securitywill be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities. We anticipate that the following provisions will apply toall depositary arrangements.
Ownershipof beneficial interests in a global security will be limited to persons, called participants, that have accounts with the depositaryor persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global security, the depositary will credit, on its book-entryregistration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal or face amounts of the securities beneficiallyowned by the participants. Any underwriters, agents or dealers participating in the distribution of the securities will designate theaccounts to be credited. Ownership of beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and the transfer of ownership interestswill be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary, with respect to interests of participants, and on the records ofparticipants, with respect to interests of persons holding through participants. The laws of some states may require that some purchasersof securities take physical delivery of these securities in definitive form. These laws may impair your ability to own, transfer or pledgebeneficial interests in global securities.
Solong as the depositary, or its nominee, is the registered owner of a global security, that depositary or its nominee, as the case maybe, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the securities represented by the global security for all purposes under the applicableindenture, deposit agreement, warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement. Except as described below, owners of beneficialinterests in a global security will not be entitled to have the securities represented by the global security registered in their names,will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the securities in definitive form and will not be considered the ownersor holders of the securities under the applicable indenture, deposit agreement, warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement.Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a global security must rely on the procedures of the depositary for that globalsecurity and, if that person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which the person owns its interest, toexercise any rights of a holder under the applicable indenture, deposit agreement, warrant agreement, right agreement or unit agreement.We understand that under existing industry practices, if we request any action of holders or if an owner of a beneficial interest ina global security desires to give or take any action that a holder is entitled to give or take under the applicable indenture, depositagreement, warrant agreement, rights agreement or unit agreement, the depositary for the global security would authorize the participantsholding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take that action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owningthrough them to give or take that action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners holding through them.
20
Principal,premium, if any, and interest payments on debt securities, and any payments to holders with respect to depositary shares, warrants orunits, represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee,as the case may be, as the registered owner of the global security. None of us, or any trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other agentof ours, or any agent of any trustee, warrant agent or unit agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the recordsrelating to payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewingany records relating to those beneficial ownership interests.
Weexpect that the depositary for any of the securities represented by a global security, upon receipt of any payment to holders of principal,premium, interest or other distribution of underlying securities or other property on that registered global security, will immediatelycredit participants’ accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in that global security as shownon the records of the depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a global securityheld through participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securitiesheld for the accounts of customers or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.
Ifthe depositary for any of the securities represented by a global security is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositaryor ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depositary registered as a clearing agency underthe Exchange Act is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue securities in definitive form in exchange for the global securitythat had been held by the depositary. Any securities issued in definitive form in exchange for a global security will be registered inthe name or names that the depositary gives to the relevant trustee, warrant agent, unit agent or other relevant agent of ours or theirs.It is expected that the depositary’s instructions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from participants withrespect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global security that had been held by the depositary.

● | the compensation payable to agents, underwriters and dealers, which may be in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions; |

Ifany agents, underwriters or dealers are utilized in the sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered, we willenter into an underwriting agreement or other agreement with them at the time of sale to them, and we will set forth in the prospectussupplement relating to such offering the names of the underwriters, agents or dealers and the terms of the related agreement with them.
Ifwe sell directly to institutional investors or others, they may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Actwith respect to any resale of the securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, if wesell through an agent, such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment. Any agent may be deemed tobe an “underwriter” of the securities as that term is defined in the Securities Act. If a dealer is used in the sale of thesecurities, we or an underwriter will sell securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may resell the securities to the publicat varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
Remarketingfirms, agents, underwriters, dealers and other persons may be entitled under agreements which they may enter into with us to indemnificationby us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and may be customers of, engage in transactionswith or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.
Wemay authorize agents, underwriters and dealers to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase offered securities undercontracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date specified in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus. The prospectussupplement or free writing prospectus will also describe the public offering price for the securities and the commission payable forsolicitation of these delayed delivery contracts. Delayed delivery contracts will contain definite fixed price and quantity terms. Theobligations of a purchase under these delayed delivery contracts will be subject to only two conditions:
● | that the institution’s purchase of the securities at the time of delivery of the securities is not prohibited under the law of any jurisdiction to which the institution is subject; and |
● | if the securities are also being sold to underwriters acting as principals for their own account, the underwriters shall have purchased such securities not sold for delayed delivery. The underwriters and other persons acting as our agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of delayed delivery contracts. |
Tothe extent permitted by and in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, in connection with an offering an underwriter mayengage in over-allotments, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Over-allotments involve sales in excessof the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so longas the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the openmarket after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concessionfrom a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Thoseactivities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be otherwise. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinueany of the activities at any time.
23
Tothe extent permitted by and in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, any underwriters who are qualified market makerson Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on Nasdaq during the business day prior to the pricing ofan offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume andprice limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a pricenot in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’sbid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded.
Thespecific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement orfree writing prospectus.
UnderRule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the partiesto any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The applicable prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securitiesmay be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to tradesecurities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, byvirtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle more than two scheduled business days after the trade date foryour securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
