The Company

 

We are a non-asset based logistics company providing domestic and international freight forwarding and fulfillment services through a network of Company-owned and exclusive agent offices across North America operating under the Airgroup, Adcom, DBA and Radiant brands. We service a diversified account base including manufacturers, distributors and retailers using a network of independent carriers and international agents positioned strategically around the world.

 

As a non-asset based provider of third-party logistics services, we seek to limit our investment in equipment, facilities and working capital through contracts and preferred provider arrangements with various transportation providers who generally provide us with favorable rates, capacity assurances and priority handling status. Our non-asset based approach allows us to maintain a high level of operating flexibility and leverage a cost structure that is highly variable in nature while the volume of our flow of freight enables us to negotiate attractive pricing with our transportation providers.

 

Our executive offices are located at 405 114th Avenue, S.E., Third Floor, Bellevue, Washington 98004, and our telephone number is (425) 943-4599. We maintain a website at www.radiantdelivers.com where general information about us is available. The contents of our website are not incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Our stock is listed on the NYSE-AMEX under the symbol “RLGT.” For further information regarding Radiant, including financial information, you should refer to our recent filings with the SEC. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

 

RISK FACTORS

 

You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus before investing in our common stock. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The future trading price of shares of our common stock will be affected by the performance of our business relative to, among other things, competition, market conditions and general economic and industry conditions.

 

Risks Particular to our Business

 

We are largely dependent on the efforts of our exclusive agents to generate our revenue and service our customers.

 

We currently sell our services through certain Company operated locations and through a network predominantly represented by exclusive agent stations located throughout North America. Although we have recently expanded our number of Company operated locations, substantially more than a majority of our consolidated revenues are derived through our exclusive agent stations. Although we have exclusive and long-term relationships with these agents, one of the largest risks inherent in our business is the loss of a relationship with one or more of our agent stations. As well, our agency agreements are generally terminable by the agent on short term notice. We have no customers or agency locations that separately account for more than 10% of our consolidated revenues, however, we have a number of significant customers and agency stations in volume and stature, the loss of one or more could negatively impact our ability to retain and service our customers. We will need to expand our existing relationships and enter into new relationships in order to increase our current and future market share and revenue. We cannot be certain that we will be able to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into new relationships, or that any new relationships will be available on commercially reasonable terms. If we are unable to maintain and expand our existing relationships or enter into new relationships, we may lose customers, customer introductions and co-marketing benefits and our operating results may suffer.

If we fail to develop and integrate information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may suffer a loss in our business.

 

Increasingly, we compete for business based upon the flexibility, sophistication and security of the information technology systems supporting our services. The failure of the hardware or software that supports our information technology systems, the loss of data contained in the systems, or the inability to access or interact with our web site or connect electronically, could significantly disrupt our operations, prevent clients from placing orders, or cause us to lose inventory items, orders or clients. If our information technology systems are unable to handle additional volume for our operations as our business and scope of services grow, our service levels, operating efficiency and future transaction volumes will decline. In addition, we expect our agents to continue to demand more sophisticated, fully integrated information technology systems from us as customers demand the same from their supply chain services providers. If we fail to hire qualified persons to implement, maintain and protect our information technology systems or we fail to upgrade or replace our information technology systems to handle increased volumes and levels of complexity, meet the demands of our agents and customers and protect against disruptions of our operations, we may suffer a loss in our business.

 

Because our freight forwarding and domestic ground transportation operations are dependent on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen, changes in available cargo capacity and other changes affecting such carriers, as well as interruptions in service or work stoppages, may negatively impact our business.

 

We rely on commercial airfreight carriers and air charter operators, ocean freight carriers, trucking companies, major U.S. railroads, other transportation companies, draymen and longshoremen for the movement of our clients’ cargo. Consequently, our ability to provide services for our clients could be adversely impacted by: shortages in available cargo capacity; changes by carriers and transportation companies in policies and practices such as scheduling, pricing, payment terms and frequency of service or increases in the cost of fuel, taxes and labor; and other factors not within our control. Reductions in airfreight or ocean freight capacity could negatively impact our yields. Material interruptions in service or stoppages in transportation, whether caused by strike, work stoppage, lock-out, slowdown or otherwise, could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our profitability depends on our ability to effectively manage our cost structure as we grow the business.

 

As we continue to expand our revenues through the expansion of our network of exclusive agency locations, we must maintain an appropriate cost structure to maintain and expand our profitability. While we intend to continue to work on growing revenue by increasing the number of our exclusive agency locations, by strategic acquisitions, and by continuing to work on maintaining and expanding our gross profit margins by reducing transportation costs, our ultimate profitability will be driven by our ability to manage our agent commissions, personnel and general and administrative costs as a function of our net revenues. There can be no assurances that we will be able to increase revenues or maintain profitability.

Comparisons of our operating results from period to period are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance.

 

Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and they likely will continue to fluctuate in the future because of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from clients in industries whose shipping patterns are tied closely to volatile consumer demand. Therefore, historically, our operating results have been subject to seasonal trends when measured on a quarterly basis, excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency fluctuations. Our first and fourth fiscal quarters are traditionally weaker compared with our second and third fiscal quarters. Changes in our pricing policies and those of our competitors and changes in the shipping patterns of our clients may adversely impact our operating results. The following additional factors, among others could also cause fluctuations in our operating results:

 

·costs relating to the expansion of operations;

 

·changes in accounting rules and tax rates;

 

· pricing and availability of cargo space on aircraft, ships and trucks that we use to transport freight;

 

· fluctuations in fuel prices and surcharges;

 

·pricing pressures from our competitors;

 

·litigation and changes in government regulations;

 

·changes in our clients’ requirements for supply chain services and solutions;

 

·yields and mix of business; and

 

·restructuring charges and impairments to goodwill and other intangible assets.

 

Because our quarterly revenues and operating results vary significantly, comparisons of our results from period to period are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indicator of future performance. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our historic operating patterns will continue in future periods as we cannot influence or forecast many of these factors.

 

We face intense competition in the freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry.

 

The freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management industry is intensely competitive and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. We face competition from a number of companies, including many that have significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources. There are a large number of companies competing in one or more segments of the industry, although the number of firms with a global network that offer a full complement of freight forwarding and supply chain management services is more limited. Depending on the location of the customer and the scope of services requested, we must compete against both the niche players and larger entities. In addition, customers increasingly are turning to competitive bidding situations soliciting bids from a number of competitors, including competitors that are larger than us.

Our business is subject to seasonal trends.

 

Historically, our operating results have been subject to seasonal trends when compared on a quarterly basis. Our first and fourth fiscal quarters are traditionally weaker compared with our second and third fiscal quarters. This trend is dependent on numerous factors, including the markets in which we operate, holiday seasons, climate, economic conditions and numerous other factors. A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from clients in industries whose shipping patterns are tied closely to consumer demand that can sometimes be difficult to predict or are based on just-in-time production schedules. Therefore, our revenue is affected by factors that are outside of our control. There can be no assurance that our historic operating patterns will continue in future periods as we cannot influence or forecast many of these factors.

 

Our industry is consolidating and if we cannot gain sufficient market presence in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger, global companies in our industry.

 

There currently is a trend within our industry toward consolidation of the niche players into larger companies that are attempting to increase global operations through the acquisition of regional and local freight forwarders. If we cannot gain sufficient market presence or otherwise establish a successful strategy in our industry, we may not be able to compete successfully against larger companies in our industry with global operations.

 

Our information technology systems are subject to risks we cannot control.

 

Our information technology systems are dependent upon third party communications providers, web browsers, telephone systems and other aspects of the Internet infrastructure that have experienced significant system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, break-ins and similar events. Despite our implementation of network security measures, our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit our internal operations, and our ability to provide services to our customers.

 

If we are not able to limit our liability for customers’ claims through contract terms and limit our exposure through the purchase of insurance, we could be required to pay large amounts to our clients as compensation for their claims and our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

In general, we seek to limit by contract and/or International Conventions and laws our liability to our clients for loss or damage to their goods to $20 per kilogram (approximately $9.07 per pound) and $500 per carton or customary unit, for ocean freight shipments, again depending on the International Convention. For truck/land based risks there are a variety of limits ranging from a nominal amount to full value. However, because a freight forwarder’s relationship to an airline or ocean carrier is that of a shipper to a carrier, the airline or ocean carrier generally assumes the same responsibility to us as we assume to our clients. When we act in the capacity of an authorized agent for an air or ocean carrier, the carrier, rather than us, assumes liability for the safe delivery of the client’s cargo to its ultimate destination, unless due to our own errors and omissions.

We have, from time to time, made payments to our clients for claims related to our services and may make such payments in the future. Should we experience an increase in the number or size of such claims or an increase in liability pursuant to claims or unfavorable resolutions of claims, our results could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will provide us with adequate coverage for such claims or that the maximum amounts for which we are liable in connection with our services will not change in the future or exceed our insurance levels. As with every insurance policy, there are limits, exclusions and deductibles that apply and we could be subject to claims for which insurance coverage may be inadequate or even disputed and such claims could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, significant increases in insurance costs could reduce our profitability.

 

Our failure to comply with, or the costs of complying with, government regulation could negatively affect our results of operation.

 

Our freight forwarding business as an indirect air cargo carrier is subject to regulation by the United States Department of Transportation ("DOT") under the Federal Aviation Act, and by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA"). Our overseas independent agents’ air freight forwarding operations are subject to regulation by the regulatory authorities of the respective foreign jurisdictions. The air freight forwarding industry is subject to regulatory and legislative changes that can affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or influencing the demand for, and the costs of providing, services to customers. We do not believe that costs of regulatory compliance have had a material adverse impact on our operations to date. However, our failure to comply with any applicable regulations could have an adverse effect. There can be no assurance that the adoption of future regulations would not have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Our present levels of capital may limit the implementation of our business strategy.

 

Our business strategy is to build a global logistics services organization. One element of this strategy is an acquisition program that contemplates the acquisition of a number of diverse companies within the logistics industry covering a variety of geographic regions and specialized service offerings. We have a limited amount of financial resources and our ability to make additional acquisitions without securing additional financing from outside sources is limited. This may limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass we need to achieve our strategic objectives.

 

Our Bank of America credit facility and our Caltius Mezzanine subordinated notes contain financial covenants that may limit current availability and impose ongoing operational limitations and risk of compliance.

 

We currently maintain a $20.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (“BofA”), including a $1.0 million sublimit to support letters of credit. Under the terms of the BofA credit facility, we are subject to a number of financial covenants that may limit the amount otherwise available under that facility. The first financial covenant limits our ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.00 to 1, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at December 31, 2012, reducing to 3.5 to 1 at December 31, 2013, and reducing to 3.25 to 1 at December 31, 2014. The second financial covenant limits our ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from BofA) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 2.50 to 1 and reducing to 2.25 to 1 on December 31, 2012. The third financial covenant requires us to maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.25 to 1.0. The fourth financial covenant is a minimum profitability standard which requires us not to incur a net loss before taxes, amortization of acquired intangibles and extraordinary items in any two consecutive quarterly accounting periods.

In connection with the recent acquisition of Isla International, Ltd. in December 2011, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Caltius Partners IV, LP and Caltius Partners Executive IV, LP (collectively, “Caltius”) pursuant to which we borrowed $10.0 million in exchange for a series of Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Caltius Financing"). Under the Caltius Financing, we are subject to certain financial covenants, including funded leverage ratio covenants, senior funded leverage ratio covenants and fixed charges ratio covenants. The first financial covenant limits our ratio of "Funded Debt" (as defined therein) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 4.25 to 1, reducing to 4.00 to 1 at March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.75 to 1 at March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.50 to 1 at March 31, 2015. The second financial covenant limits our ratio of Senior Debt (defined as amounts borrowed from the Bank and the Senior Subordinated Notes) to consolidated EBITDA (as adjusted) and measured on a rolling four quarter basis to 3.75 to 1, reducing to 3.50 to 1 on March 31, 2013, reducing to 3.25 to 1 on March 31, 2014 and reducing to 3.00 to 1 on March 31, 2015. The third financial covenant requires that we maintain a basic fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.05 to 1.0.

 

In addition, we are subject to significant restrictions upon prepayment and penalties if we prepay the outstanding indebtedness during the three year period after the Caltius Financing. Further, Caltius has the right, under certain circumstances, to require us to redeem all shares of our common stock issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing at the then fair market value of such shares. The Caltius Financing also constrains our ability to obtain additional financing unless we obtain Caltius’s consent. The Caltius Financing also places restrictions on our ability to enter into future financings and acquisitions. If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under the Caltius Financing, we may be required to, among other things, immediately repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Caltius Financing, redeem all shares issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing, and forego future financing and acquisition opportunities. This may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Dependence on key personnel.

 

For the foreseeable future, our success will depend largely on the continued services of our Chief Executive Officer, Bohn H. Crain, as well as certain of the other key executives of Radiant Global Logistics, because of their collective industry knowledge, marketing skills and relationships with major vendors and owners of our exclusive agent stations. We have secured employment arrangements with each of these individuals, which contain non-competition covenants which survive their actual term of employment. Nevertheless, should any of these individuals leave the Company it could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.

 

Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect any market on which our shares trade, the markets in which we operate, our operations and our profitability.

 

Terrorist acts or acts of war or armed conflict could negatively affect our operations in a number of ways. Primarily, any of these acts could result in increased volatility in or damage to the U.S. and worldwide financial markets and economy and could lead to increased regulatory requirements with respect to the security and safety of freight shipments and transportation. They could also result in a continuation of the current economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad. Acts of terrorism or armed conflict, and the uncertainty caused by such conflicts, could cause an overall reduction in worldwide sales of goods and corresponding shipments of goods. This would have a corresponding negative effect on our operations.

Risks Related to our Acquisition Strategy

 

There is a scarcity of and competition for acquisition opportunities.

 

There are a limited number of operating companies available for acquisition that we deem to be desirable targets. In addition, there is a very high level of competition among companies seeking to acquire these operating companies. We are and will continue to be a very minor participant in the business of seeking acquisitions of these types of companies. A large number of established and well-financed entities are active in acquiring interests in companies that we may find to be desirable acquisition candidates. Many of these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than us. Consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in negotiating and executing possible acquisitions of these businesses. Even if we are able to successfully compete with these entities, this competition may affect the terms of completed transactions and, as a result, we may pay more than we expected for potential acquisitions. We may not be able to identify operating companies that complement our strategy, and even if we identify a company that complements our strategy, we may be unable to complete an acquisition of such a company for many reasons, including:

 

·failure to agree on the terms necessary for a transaction, such as the purchase price;

 

·incompatibility between our operational strategies or management philosophies with those of the potential acquiree;

 

·competition from other acquirers of operating companies;

 

·lack of sufficient capital to acquire a profitable logistics company; and

 

·unwillingness of a potential acquiree to work with our management.

 

Risks related to acquisition financing.

 

In order to continue to pursue our acquisition strategy in the longer term, we may be required to obtain additional financing. We intend to obtain such financing through a combination of traditional debt financing or the placement of debt and equity securities. We may finance some portion of our future acquisitions by either issuing equity or by using shares of our common stock for all or a portion of the purchase price for such businesses. In the event that our common stock does not attain or maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept common stock as part of the purchase price for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to use more of our cash resources, if available, in order to maintain our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, we will not be able to complete acquisitions and our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional capital through debt or equity financings. The terms of our BofA credit facility and Caltius Financing each require that we obtain their consent prior to securing additional debt financing. There could be circumstances in which our ability to obtain additional debt financing could be constrained if we are unable to secure the consent of each of BofA and Caltius.

 

9
 

 

Our Bank of America credit facility places certain limits on the type and number of acquisitions we may make.

 

Under the terms of our BofA credit facility, we may be required to obtain BofA’s consent prior to making any additional acquisitions.

 

We are permitted to make additional acquisitions without the consent of BofA only if certain conditions are satisfied. The conditions imposed by the BofA credit facility include the following: (i) the absence of an event of default under the facility; (ii) the company to be acquired must be in the transportation and logistics industry; (iii) the purchase price to be paid must be consistent with our historical business and acquisition model; (iv) after giving effect for the funding of the acquisition, we must have undrawn availability of at least $4.0 million under the facility; (v) BofA must be reasonably satisfied with projected financial statements we provide covering a twelve month period following the acquisition; (vi) the acquisition documents must be provided to BofA and must be consistent with the description of the transaction provided to BofA; and (vii) the number of permitted acquisitions is limited to three per fiscal year and the aggregate cash consideration payable at closing shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate, provided that the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of our newly issued equity interests during the nine month period prior to the closing of any such transaction and the aggregate consideration at closing is not more than $25 million.

 

In the event we are not able to satisfy the conditions of the facility in connection with a proposed acquisition, we must either forego the acquisition, obtain BofA’s consent, or retire the facility. This may prevent us from completing acquisitions which we determine are desirable from a business perspective and limit or slow our ability to achieve the critical mass we need to achieve our strategic objectives.

 

We currently have a $10.0 million mezzanine financing facility that requires us to meet certain financial covenants and subjects us to restrictions on future financings and acquisitions.

 

The Caltius Financing also places restrictions on our ability to enter into future financings and acquisitions.

 

We are permitted to make additional acquisitions only if certain conditions are satisfied, including the following: (i) the acquisition constitutes a business reasonably related to our then current business; (ii) no default or event of default shall exist prior to or will be caused as a result of such acquisition; (iii) Caltius has been provided with prior written notice of such acquisition, such notice to include (a) a description of the property or equity interests to be purchased, (b) the price and terms of such acquisition, (c) a certificate of a financial officer, certifying as to certain information requested in the Investment Agreement, and (d) such other information with respect thereto as is reasonably requested by Caltius; (iv) in the event of an acquisition of equity interests of a company, such company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary; (v) the target company shall have as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of such company ending on or immediately prior to the date of such acquisition actual (or pro forma to the extent approved in writing by Caltius) EBITDA and net income greater than $1, in each case for the 12 month period ending on such date; (vi) the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of the acquisition shall not exceed $7.5 million for any single transaction and $12.5 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year or such other amount approved in writing by the Caltius; provided, however, that (a) the foregoing limitation shall exclude cash consideration derived from the proceeds of sales of our equity interests issued during the nine-month period prior to the closing of such acquisition to the extent we notify Caltius in writing of the use of such cash consideration from sales such equity interests in such transaction or transactions and (b) the written consent of Caltius shall be required if the aggregate cash consideration payable at the closing of such transaction is equal to or greater than $25 million; (vii) the post-closing availability under the BofA credit facility is at least $4.0 million on a pro forma basis; (viii) the number of permitted acquisitions that we and our co-borrowers have completed in such fiscal year does not exceed three; and (ix) we shall have provided to Caltius certain deliverables for such acquisition.

 

10
 

 

If we are unable to satisfy our obligations under the Caltius Financing, we may be required to, among other things, immediately repay all outstanding principal and interest under the Caltius Financing, redeem all shares issued to Caltius in connection with the Caltius Financing, and forego future financing and acquisition opportunities. This may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

To the extent we make any material acquisitions, our earnings will be adversely affected by non-cash charges relating to the amortization of intangibles which may cause our stock price to decline.

 

Under applicable accounting standards, purchasers are required to allocate the total consideration paid in a business combination to the identified acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values at the time of acquisition. The excess of the consideration paid to acquire a business over the fair value of the identifiable tangible assets acquired must be allocated among identifiable intangible assets including goodwill. The amount allocated to goodwill is not subject to amortization. However, it is tested at least annually for impairment. The amount allocated to identifiable intangibles, such as customer relationships and the like, is amortized over the life of these intangible assets. We expect that this will subject us to periodic charges against our earnings to the extent of the amortization incurred for that period. Because our business strategy focuses, in part, on growth through acquisitions, our future earnings will be subject to greater non-cash amortization charges than a company whose earnings are derived solely from organic growth. As a result, we will experience an increase in non-cash charges related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired in our acquisitions. Our financial statements will show that our intangible assets are diminishing in value, when, in fact, we believe they may be increasing because we are growing the value of our intangible assets (e.g. customer relationships). Because of this discrepancy, we believe our EBITDA, a measure of financial performance that does not conform to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), provides a meaningful measure of our financial performance. However, the investment community generally measures a public company’s performance by its net income. Further, the financial covenants of our credit facility adjust EBITDA to exclude costs related to share based compensation and other non-cash charges. Thus, we believe EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA, provide a meaningful measure of our financial performance. If the investment community elects to place more emphasis on net income, the future price of our common stock could be adversely affected.

 

We are not obligated to follow any particular criteria or standards for identifying acquisition candidates.

 

Even though we have developed general acquisition guidelines, we are not obligated to follow any particular operating, financial, geographic or other criteria in evaluating candidates for potential acquisitions or business combinations. We will target businesses that we believe will provide the best potential long-term financial return for our stockholders and we will determine the purchase price and other terms and conditions of acquisitions. Our stockholders will not have the opportunity to evaluate the relevant economic, financial and other information that our management team will use and consider in deciding whether or not to enter into a particular transaction.

 

11
 

 

We may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to successfully implement our acquisition strategy.

 

Subject to the restrictions contained in the BofA credit facility and Investment Agreement with Caltius, we may be required to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in order to complete future acquisitions. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow from the operations of acquired businesses to make scheduled payments of principal and interest on the indebtedness, then we will be required to use our capital for such payments. This will restrict our ability to make additional acquisitions. We may also be forced to sell an acquired business in order to satisfy indebtedness. We cannot be certain that we will be able to operate profitably once we incur this indebtedness or that we will be able to generate a sufficient amount of proceeds from the ultimate disposition of such acquired businesses to repay the indebtedness incurred to make these acquisitions.

 

We may experience difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel and assets of acquired businesses which may disrupt our business, dilute stockholder value and adversely affect our operating results.

 

A core component of our business plan is to acquire businesses and assets in the transportation and logistics industry. We have only made a limited number of acquisitions and, therefore, our ability to complete such acquisitions and integrate any acquired businesses into our operations is unproven. Increased competition for acquisition candidates may develop, in which event there may be fewer acquisition opportunities available to us as well as higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or profitably manage businesses or successfully integrate acquired businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Such acquisitions also involve numerous operational risks, including:

 

·difficulties in integrating operations, technologies, services and personnel;

 

·the diversion of financial and management resources from existing operations;

 

·the risk of entering new markets;

 

·the potential loss of existing or acquired agency locations following an acquisition;

 

·the potential loss of key employees following an acquisition and the associated risk of competitive efforts from such departed personnel;

 

·possible legal disputes with the acquired company following an acquisition; and

 

·the inability to generate sufficient revenue to offset acquisition or investment costs.

 

As a result, if we fail to properly evaluate and execute any acquisitions or investments, our business and prospects may be seriously harmed.

 

Legal dispute emanating from recent acquisition of DBA.

 

In January 2012, we asserted certain claims for indemnification against the former shareholders of DBA Distribution Services, Inc., d/b/a Distribution by Air ("DBA") under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 29, 2011, relating to, among others, the failure to identify certain purchased transportation charges and related party transactions; as well as the breach of certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by one of the DBA selling shareholders and a former DBA employee affiliated with such selling shareholder. Given the absence of a resolution of the matter, we have filed, and intend to assert our claims, in a formal arbitration action against the former DBA shareholders.

  

12
 

 

Although the arbitration and ultimate resolution of this dispute will not likely occur within the short-term, we believe that these breaches will not have any meaningful long-term adverse effect on our overall results of operations given our: (i) termination of the previously undisclosed related party transactions; (ii) efforts to retain existing customers; (iii) efforts through the arbitration proceeding to assert legal remedies as a result of the breaches; and (iv) efforts through a concurrent civil proceeding to assert legal remedies against the former DBA employee who we believe breached certain non-competition and non-solicitation obligations to us. Nevertheless, near-term earnings could be negatively impacted if our efforts to retain existing customers are not successful, and as a result of any legal expenses incurred in connection with the matter, although such amounts may be recoverable as an off-set to future amounts otherwise due the former shareholders of DBA under the DBA Agreement and Plan of Merger.

  

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law may make a contested takeover of our Company more difficult.

 

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware ("DGCL") could deter a change in our management or render more difficult an attempt to obtain control of us, even if such a proposal is favored by a majority of our stockholders. For example, we are subject to the provisions of the DGCL that prohibit a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations with a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares (an "interested stockholder") for three years after the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may only be removed for cause by the affirmative vote of 75% of our outstanding shares and that amendments to our bylaws require the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of our outstanding shares. Our certificate of incorporation also includes undesignated preferred stock, which may enable our Board of Directors to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise. Finally, our bylaws include an advance notice procedure for stockholders to nominate directors or submit proposals at a stockholders meeting.

 

Trading in our common stock has been limited and there is no significant trading market for our common stock.

 

Although our common stock is traded on the NYSE-AMEX, it may remain relatively illiquid, or “thinly traded.” Because of this limited liquidity, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares. The trading price of our shares may from time to time fluctuate widely. The trading price may be affected by a number of factors including events described in the risk factors set forth in this report as well as our operating results, financial condition, announcements, general conditions in the industry and the financial markets, and other events or factors. In recent years, broad stock market indices, in general, and smaller capitalization companies, in particular, have experienced substantial price fluctuations. In a volatile market, we may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our common stock. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

13
 

 

The influx of additional shares of our common stock onto the market may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock.

 

We recently completed several acquisitions in which we issued approximately two million unregistered shares of our common stock over the past 12 months as part of the purchase price, or associated with the financing of a transaction. In addition, we may issue additional shares in connection with such acquisitions upon the achievement of certain earn-out thresholds. The availability of those shares for sale to the public under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and sale of such shares in public markets could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. Such an adverse effect on the market price would make it more difficult for us to sell our equity securities in the future at prices we deem appropriate or to use our shares as currency for future acquisitions which will make it more difficult to execute our acquisition strategy.

 

The issuance of additional shares may result in additional dilution to our existing stockholders.

 

We have issued, and may be required to issue, additional shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in payment of the purchase price of businesses we have acquired. This will have the effect of further increasing the number of shares outstanding. In connection with future acquisitions, we may undertake the issuance of more shares of common stock without notice to our then existing stockholders. We may also issue additional shares in order to, among other things, compensate employees or consultants or for other valid business reasons in the discretion of our Board of Directors, and could result in diluting the interests of our existing stockholders.

 

The exercise or conversion of our outstanding options, warrants or other convertible securities or any derivative securities we issue in the future will result in the dilution of the ownership interests of our existing stockholders and may create downward pressure on the trading price of our common stock. We are currently authorized to issue 50 million shares of common stock. As of April 19, 2012, we had 32,863,246 outstanding shares of common stock. We may in the future issue up to 4,728,517 additional shares of our common stock upon exercise of existing options.

 

We may issue shares of preferred stock with greater rights than our common stock.

 

Although we have no current plans or agreements to issue any preferred stock, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our Board of Directors to issue shares of preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms for those shares without the approval of our stockholders. Any such preferred stock we may issue in the future could rank ahead of our common stock, in terms of dividends, liquidation rights, and voting rights.

 

As we do not anticipate paying dividends, investors in our shares will not receive any dividend income.

 

We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock since our inception and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any dividends that we may pay in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will depend on our future earnings, any applicable regulatory considerations, covenants of our debt facility, our financial requirements and other similarly unpredictable factors. Our ability to pay dividends is further limited by the terms of our credit facility with BofA and the Investment Agreement with Caltius. For the foreseeable future, we anticipate that we will retain any earnings that we may generate from our operations to finance and develop our growth and that we will not pay cash dividends to our stockholders. Accordingly, investors seeking dividend income should not purchase our stock.

From time to time, we publish certain forward-looking information regarding our future anticipated performance, which information is not a guaranty and may be materially different than our actual future results.

 

From time to time, we publish certain forward-looking information regarding our future anticipated performance, including guidance with respect to our estimated future revenues and profits. This forward-looking information is not a guaranty and is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. While it is impossible to identify all of the factors that may cause our actual operating performance, events, trends or plans to differ materially from those set forth in such forward-looking information, such factors include the inherent risks associated with our recent and future acquisitions, our operations, management and other outside competitive and economic influences on our business. Important factors with regard to our recent acquisitions that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, include but are not limited to: our ability to maintain the future operations of our recently acquired businesses in a manner consistent with their past practices; that following these acquisitions, our recently acquired businesses will be able to maintain and grow their revenues and operating margins in a manner consistent with their most recent results of operations; and that over time we will be able to integrate the operations of such businesses with our existing operations, as well as our ability to realize expected financial and operational cost and revenue synergies through such integration; our reliance on the acquired management teams and the continued customer relationships provided by the acquired businesses; the effect that these acquisitions will have on their existing customers and employees; the effect that the acquisitions will have on our historic and existing network of exclusive agency locations; and any material adverse change in the composition of their customers. Important additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our ability to: use our Bellevue, Washington operations as a "platform" upon which we can build a profitable global transportation and supply chain management company; retain and build upon the relationships we have with our exclusive agency offices; continue the development of our back office infrastructure and transportation and accounting systems in a manner sufficient to service our expanding revenues and network of operating locations; maintain and enhance the future operations of our company owned operating locations; continue growing our business and maintain historical or increased gross profit margins; locate suitable acquisition opportunities; secure the financing necessary to complete any acquisition opportunities we locate; assess and respond to competitive practices in the industries in which we compete; mitigate, to the best extent possible, our dependence on current management and certain of our larger exclusive agency locations; assess and respond to the impact of current and future laws and governmental regulations affecting the transportation industry in general and our operations in particular; and assess and respond to such other factors that may be identified from time to time in our SEC filings and other public announcements including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” contained in this prospectus.

 

Ineffective internal controls could impact our business and operating results.

 

Our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed and we could fail to meet our financial reporting obligations.

PREFERRED STOCK

 

The following description of the terms of the preferred stock we may issue sets forth certain general terms and provisions of any series of preferred stock to which any prospectus supplement may relate. Particular terms of the preferred stock offered by any prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which these general terms and provisions will apply to any series of preferred stock so offered will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable preferred stock. The applicable prospectus supplement may also state that any of the terms set forth in this description are inapplicable to such series of preferred stock.

DEBT SECURITIES

 

We may issue debt securities from time to time, in one or more series, as either senior or subordinated debt or as senior or subordinated convertible debt. Any senior debt securities will rank equally with any other unsubordinated debt that we may have and may be secured or unsecured. Any subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner described in the instrument governing such debt securities, to all or some portion of our indebtedness. Any convertible debt securities that we issue will be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or other securities of ours. Conversion may be mandatory or at the lender’s option and would be at prescribed conversion rates.

 

Other than promissory notes issued in connection with the BofA credit facility and the Caltius Financing, we do not currently have any issued or outstanding debt securities. We may not incur any additional indebtedness without the consent of BofA and Caltius. This description of our debt securities presumes that our current indebtedness has been paid off or that we have obtained the consent of BofA and Caltius to issue additional debt securities.

 

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities that we may issue. We will set forth the particular terms of the debt securities we offer in a prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the following general terms and provisions will apply to particular debt securities. The prospectus supplement for a particular series of debt securities may add, update or change the terms and conditions of the debt securities as described in this prospectus.

 

The following description of general terms and provisions relating to the debt securities and the indenture under which the debt securities will be issued (the “indenture”) is a summary only and, therefore, is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the terms and provisions of the indenture. The form of the indenture has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and you should read the indenture for provisions that may be important to you. Capitalized terms used in this section and not defined herein have the meanings specified in the indenture.

 

General

 

The terms of each series of debt securities will be established by or pursuant to a resolution of our Board of Directors and set forth or determined in the manner provided in a resolution of our board of directors, a supplemental indenture or an officers’ certificate. The particular terms of each series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series (including any pricing supplement or term sheet).

 

We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indenture that may be in one or more series with the same or various maturities, at par, at a premium or at a discount. We will set forth in a prospectus supplement (including any pricing supplement or term sheet) relating to any series of debt securities being offered, the aggregate principal amount and the following terms of the debt securities, if applicable:

 

•the title of the series of debt securities;

 

•the price or prices (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) at which the debt securities will be issued;

 

•any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the series of debt securities;

 

19
 

 

•the date or dates on which the principal on the series of debt securities is payable;

 

•the rate or rates (which may be fixed or variable) per annum, if applicable, or the method used to determine such rate or rates (including any commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index) at which the series of debt securities will bear interest, if any, the date or dates from which such interest will accrue, the date or dates on which such interest will commence and be payable and any regular record date for the interest payable on any interest payment date;

 

•the place or places where the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the series of debt securities will be payable;

 

•if applicable, the period within which, the price at which and the terms and conditions upon which the series of debt securities may be redeemed;

 

•any obligation we may have to redeem or purchase the series of debt securities pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder of a series of debt securities;

 

•the dates on which and the price or prices at which we will repurchase the series of debt securities at the option of the holders of such series of debt securities and other detailed terms and provisions of such repurchase obligations;

 

•the denominations in which the series of debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof;

 

•the form of the series of debt securities and whether the series of debt securities will be issuable as global debt securities;

 

•the portion of principal amount of the series of debt securities payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity date, if other than the principal amount;

 

•the currency of denomination of the debt securities;

 

•the designation of the currency, currencies or currency units in which payment of principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, the series of debt securities will be made;

 

•if payments of principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the series of debt securities will be made in one or more currencies or currency units other than that or those in which the series of debt securities are denominated, the manner in which the exchange rate with respect to such payments will be determined;

 

•the manner in which the amounts of payment of principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, the series of debt securities will be determined, if such amounts may be determined by reference to an index based on a currency or currencies or by reference to a commodity, commodity index, stock exchange index or financial index;

 

•any provisions relating to any security provided for the series of debt securities;

 

•any addition to or change in the Events of Default (as defined below) described in this prospectus or in the indenture which applies to the series of debt securities and any change in the right of the trustee or the holders of the series of debt securities to declare the principal amount thereof due and payable;

•any addition to or change in the covenants described in this prospectus or in the indenture with respect to the series of debt securities;

•any provisions relating to conversion of the series of debt securities; and

 

•whether the series of debt securities will be senior or subordinated debt securities and a description of the subordination thereof.

 

In addition, the indenture does not limit our ability to issue convertible or subordinated debt securities. Any conversion or subordination provisions of a particular series of debt securities will be set forth in the resolution of our Board of Directors, an officers’ certificate or supplemental indenture related to such series of debt securities and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Such terms may include provisions for conversion, either mandatory, at the option of the holder or at our option, in which case the number of shares of common stock or other securities to be received by the holders of debt securities would be calculated as of a time and in the manner stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

We may issue debt securities that provide for an amount less than their stated principal amount to be due and payable upon declaration of acceleration of their maturity pursuant to the terms of the indenture. We will provide you with information on the U.S. federal income tax considerations and other special considerations applicable to any of these debt securities in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

If we denominate the purchase price of any of the debt securities in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, or if the principal of, and any premium and interest, if any, on, any series of debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or currencies or a foreign currency unit or units, we will provide you with information on the restrictions, elections, general tax considerations, specific terms and other information with respect to that issue of debt securities and such foreign currency or currencies or foreign currency unit or units in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 

Transfer and Exchange

 

Each debt security will be represented by either one or more global securities registered in the name of a depository that will be named in a prospectus supplement as Depositary (the “Depositary”), or a nominee (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.

 

21
 

 

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 service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange.

 

You may effect the transfer of certificated debt securities and the right to receive the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, certificated debt securities only by surrendering the certificate representing those certificated debt securities and either reissuance by us or the trustee of the certificate to the new holder or the issuance by us or the trustee of a new certificate to the new holder.

 

Global Debt Securities and Book-Entry System. Each global debt security representing book-entry debt securities will be issued to the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary and registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the Depositary.

 

The Depositary has indicated it intends to follow the following procedures with respect to book-entry debt securities.

 

Ownership of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities will be limited to persons that have accounts with the Depositary for the related global debt security (“participants”) or persons that may hold interests through participants. Upon the issuance of a global debt security, the Depositary will credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the participants’ accounts with the respective principal amounts of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security beneficially owned by such participants. The accounts to be credited will be designated by any dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the book-entry debt securities. Ownership of book-entry debt securities will be shown on, and the transfer of such ownership interests will be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary for the related global debt security (with respect to interests of participants) and on the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons holding through participants). The laws of some states may require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the purchasers’ ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities.

 

So long as the Depositary for a global debt security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such global debt security, the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the book-entry debt securities represented by such global debt security for all purposes under the indenture. Except as described below, beneficial owners of book-entry debt securities will not be entitled to have securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of a certificate in definitive form representing securities and will not be considered the owners or holders of those securities under the indenture. Accordingly, each person beneficially owning book-entry debt securities must rely on the procedures of the Depositary for the related global debt security and, if such person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture.

 

We understand, however, that under existing industry practice, the Depositary will authorize the persons on whose behalf it holds a global debt security to exercise certain rights of holders of debt securities, and the indenture provides that we, the trustee and our respective agents will treat as the holder of a debt security the persons specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect to such global debt security for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by holders of the debt securities pursuant to the indenture.

 

22
 

 

We will make payments of principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, book-entry debt securities to the Depositary or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered holder of the related global debt security. We, the trustee and any other agent of ours or agent of the trustee will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a global debt security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to beneficial ownership interests.

 

We expect that the Depositary, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, and premium or interest, if any, on, a global debt security, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to the respective amounts of book-entry debt securities held by each participant as shown on the records of such Depositary. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in book-entry debt securities held through those participants will be governed by standing customer instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of those participants.

 

We will issue certificated debt securities in exchange for each global debt security only if (i) the Depositary notifies us that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such global debt security or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, in either case, we fail to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event or (ii) we execute and deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate to the effect that such global debt security shall be so exchangeable. Any certificated debt securities issued in exchange for a global debt security will be registered in such name or names as the Depositary shall instruct the trustee. We expect that such instructions will be based upon directions received by the Depositary from participants with respect to ownership of book-entry debt securities relating to such global debt security.

 

We have obtained the foregoing information concerning the Depositary and the Depositary’s book-entry system from sources we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of this information.

 

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.

 

Covenants

 

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement any restrictive covenants applicable to any issue of debt securities.

 

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 us) 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;

 

23
 

 

•immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing under the indenture; and

 

•certain other conditions are met.

 

Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

 

Events of Default

 

“Event of Default” means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following events, unless in the board resolution, supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate, it is provided that such series of debt securities shall not have the benefit of a particular Event of Default:

 

•default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of such series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that 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 such period of 30 days);

 

•default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on, any debt security of such series when at maturity or which such principal otherwise becomes due and payable;

 

•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 such series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after written notice thereof has been given, by registered or certified mail, to us by the trustee or to us and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series as provided in the indenture;

 

•certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization applicable to us; and

 

•any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of such series that is described in the applicable board resolution, supplemental indenture or officers’ certificate establishing such series of debt securities.

 

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. The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our other indebtedness outstanding from time to time.

 

24
 

 

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 such 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 (or, if the debt securities of such series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such series) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of such 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, and 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 such 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 such series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We will describe in the applicable 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 will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. 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 such series.

 

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 such series; and

 

•the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, 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 such series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, such debt security on or after the due dates expressed in such debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

 

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee an officers’ certificate as to compliance with the indenture. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default or any Event of Default (except in payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any debt securities of such series) with respect to debt securities of such series if it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

 

25
 

 

 

Modification and Waiver

 

We may 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 principal 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, if any, on or change the stated maturity date 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, and premium or interest, if any, 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 such series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

 

•make the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, 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, and premium and interest, if any, 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.

 

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 such series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. 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 such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, any debt security of such 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 such acceleration.

 

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 (except for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities of such series, to replace stolen, lost or mutilated debt securities of such series, and to maintain paying agencies and certain provisions relating to the treatment of funds held by paying agents). We will be so discharged upon the 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, Foreign Government Obligations, 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 to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of, such series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

 

26
 

 

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. 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 such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to U.S. 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.

 

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 an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of such series (“covenant defeasance”).

 

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, Foreign Government Obligations, 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 to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of, the debt securities of such 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 such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. 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.

 

Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default. In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities and the debt securities of such series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of such series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of such series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.

 

27
 

 

Certain Defined Terms

 

“Foreign Government Obligations” means, with respect to debt securities of any series that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars:

 

•direct obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency for the payment of which obligations its full faith and credit is pledged which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof; or

 

•obligations of a person controlled or supervised by or acting as an agency or instrumentality of that government the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by that government which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof.

 

“U.S. Government Obligations” means debt securities that are:

 

•direct obligations of The United States of America for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged; or

 

•obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of The United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as full faith and credit obligation by The United States of America,

 

which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer itself and shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depository receipt. Except as required by law, such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

 

Governing Law

 

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

 

WARRANTS

 

We may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock and/or debt securities in one or more series, from time to time. Currently, we do not have any warrants issued or outstanding.

 

The following description sets forth the general terms of the warrants that we may offer and sell by this prospectus. We will set forth the particular terms of the warrants we offer in a prospectus supplement and the extent, if any, to which the following general terms and provisions will apply to particular warrants. The prospectus supplement for a particular series of warrants may add, update or change the terms and conditions of the warrants as described in this prospectus.

 

28
 

 

General

 

We may issue equity warrants to purchase common stock, as well as debt warrants to purchase debt securities. The warrants may be issued independently or together with any securities and may be attached to or separate from such securities. The warrants are to be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as warrant agent, all of which will be set forth in an applicable prospectus supplement relating to warrants we are offering.

 

Equity Warrants

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms of equity warrants offered:

 

•the title of the equity warrants;

 

•the price or prices at which the equity warrants will be issued;

 

•the number of equity warrants issued with each share of common stock;

 

•if applicable, the date on and after which the equity warrants and the related common stock will be separately transferable;

 

•if applicable, a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

 

•any other terms of the equity warrants, including terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exchange and exercise of the equity warrants.

 

Prior to exercise of the equity warrants, holders of equity warrants will not be entitled, solely by virtue of being such holders, to vote, consent, receive dividends, receive notice as stockholders with respect to any meeting of stockholders for the election of our directors or any other matter, or to exercise any rights whatsoever as a holder of common stock.

 

Debt Warrants

 

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of debt warrants offered, the warrant agreement relating to the debt warrants and the debt warrant certificates representing the debt warrants, including the following:

 

•the title of the debt warrants;

 

•the aggregate number of the debt warrants;

 

•the price or prices at which the debt warrants will be issued;

 

•the designation, aggregate principal amount and terms of the debt securities purchasable upon exercise of the debt warrants, and the procedures and conditions relating to the exercise of the debt warrants;

 

•the designation and terms of any related debt securities with which the debt warrants are issued, and the number of debt warrants issued with each debt security;

 

29

•a discussion of any material U.S. federal income tax considerations; and

 

•any other terms of the debt warrants and terms, procedures and limitations relating to the exercise of the debt warrants.

 

Debt warrants may be exercised at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement. Prior to the exercise of their debt warrants, holders of debt warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of the debt securities purchasable upon exercise and will not be entitled to payment of principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on, such debt securities.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash such number of shares of common stock or such principal amount of debt securities, as the case may be, at such exercise price as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, any unexercised warrants will be void.

 

The warrants may be exercised as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the warrants offered. Upon receipt of payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock or debt securities, as the case may be, purchasable upon such exercise. If less than all of the warrants represented by such warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

 

ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECTS OF VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW AND OUR CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS

 

Provisions of the DGCL could make it more difficult to acquire us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent officers and directors. These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

 

30
 

 

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute. We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover statute. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15 percent or more of a corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board, including discouraging attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock.

 

No Cumulative Voting. The DGCL provides that stockholders are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. The Company Certificate prohibits cumulative voting.

 

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors. The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall have any liability for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties as directors. Our bylaws include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer of the Company, or for serving at our request as a director or officer or in another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. The bylaws also provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to our directors and officers, subject to our receipt of an undertaking from the indemnitee as may be required under the DGCL. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect the Company and our directors, officers, employees and agents from certain liabilities.

 

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. We may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or direct suit, we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers, employees or agents for which indemnification is sought.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares of Common Stock. Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock will be available for future issuance without approval by the holders of common stock. We may use additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, employee benefit plans and as consideration for or to finance future acquisitions, investments or other purposes. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

 

Advance Notice Requirement . Stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders must comply with advance notice procedures. These advance notice procedures require timely notice and apply in several situations, including stockholder proposals relating to the nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors. These requirements could make it more difficult for a stockholder to bring a proposal before an annual meeting.

 

31
 

 

Undesignated Preferred Stock. Our certificate of incorporation authorizes undesignated preferred stock. As a result, our board may, without the approval of our stockholders, issue shares of preferred stock with super voting, special approval, dividend or other rights or preferences on a discriminatory basis that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring, delaying or discouraging hostile takeovers, or changes in control or management of the Company.

 

Election and Removal of Directors . Our bylaws require that directors may be removed for cause and only with the approval of the holders of at least 75% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors. Any vacancy on our Board of Directors, including vacancies resulting from increasing the size of our Board of Directors, may be filled by a majority of the remaining directors in office. The foregoing provisions could make our acquisition by a third party, a change in our incumbent directors, or a similar change of control more difficult by limiting the methods available for removing directors.

 

Amendments to Organizational Documents

 

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

This prospectus may also relate to the possible resale by certain of our stockholders of up to 1,052,333 shares of our common stock that were issued and outstanding prior to the original date of filing of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The common stock offered by the selling stockholders was originally issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The table below sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock held as of April 19, 2012 by the selling stockholders, the number of shares being offered hereby and information with respect to shares to be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders assuming all the shares registered hereunder are sold. Information in the table below with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each of the selling stockholders.

 

Except as described herein and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the selling stockholders have not held any position or office, or have otherwise had a material relationship, with us or any of our subsidiaries within the past three years other than as a result of the ownership of our securities.

 

Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time and any changed information will be set forth in supplements to this prospectus, if and when necessary. The selling stockholders may offer all, some or none of their shares of common stock. We cannot advise you as to whether the selling stockholders will, in fact, sell any or all of such shares of common stock. In addition, the selling stockholders listed in the table below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table below.

 

Each of the selling stockholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter,” as such term is defined in the Securities Act. We have agreed to register for resale the shares owned by the selling stockholders under and subject to certain registration rights granted in connection with the acquisition of Isla International, Ltd. described below, although, commencing on June 1, 2012, such selling stockholders may be able to transfer their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions contained in Rule 144.

We have agreed to register for resale the shares owned by the selling stockholders under and subject to certain registration rights granted in connection with the acquisition of Isla International, Ltd. described below, although, commencing on June 1, 2012, such selling stockholders may be able to transfer their shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions contained in Rule 144.

 

Isla International Acquisition

 

On December 1, 2011, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Radiant Global Logistics, Inc.(“RGL”), we closed on the acquisition of the business of Isla under and subject to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 15, 2011 (the “Isla Purchase Agreement”). In addition to the cash purchase price paid at closing, we agreed to issue to Isla a combination of: (i) 552,333 shares of our common stock (the “Initial Isla Shares”) on the three-month anniversary of the closing (equivalent to $1,325,000 based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price calculated preceding the delivery of the shares); and (ii) up to $3,975,000 in aggregate “Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments” covering the four-year earn-out period immediately following closing, based upon the acquired Isla business unit generating a “Modified Gross Profit Contribution” (as defined within the Isla Purchase Agreement) of $6,927,644 for each twelve month earn-out period following closing; and (iv) a “Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment” after the fourth anniversary of the closing, equal to 20% of the amount by which the aggregate “Modified Gross Profit Contribution” of the acquired Isla business unit during the four-year earn-out period exceeds $27,710,576, with such payment not to exceed $2,000,000. The various Tier-1 Earn-Out Payments and the Tier-2 Earn-Out Payment shall be made in a combination of cash and our common stock, as we may, at our sole option (and provided we remain current in our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act and maintain the listing of our common shares on an exchange or automated quotation system), elect to satisfy up to 25% of each of the earn-out payments through the issuance of our common stock valued based upon a 30-day volume weighted average price to be calculated preceding the delivery of the shares. Under the Isla Purchase Agreement, we agreed to provide limited registration rights covering the Initial Isla Shares. We provided demand registration rights through the end of the first anniversary of the closing in the limited instances that we are either no longer current in our periodic reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act, or we are otherwise unable to maintain the listing of our shares on the exchange or automated quotation system upon which they currently trade. We also agreed to provide limited “piggyback” registration rights until Isla, as a selling stockholder, can sell its Initial Isla Shares without restriction under Rule 144. The Isla Purchase Agreement also contains standard and customary representations, warranties and covenants, and provides that each of RGL, Isla and the partners of Isla International will indemnify each other for certain losses, subject to certain time and dollar limits.

 

Caltius Financing

 

In connection with the closing under the Isla Purchase Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2011, we entered into the Investment Agreement with Caltius. Under the Investment Agreement, Caltius provided us with $10.0 million aggregate principal amount financing evidenced by the issuance of senior subordinated notes (the “Senior Subordinated Notes”), the net proceeds of which were primarily used by us to finance the cash payments due at closing under the Isla Purchase Agreement. Under the Investment Agreement, we also issued 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Caltius (all shares issued to Caltius are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Caltius Shares”). We agreed to provide certain limited registration rights covering the Caltius Shares as more fully described below.

 

33
 

 

In connection with the closing under the Isla Purchase Agreement, effective as of December 1, 2011, we also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Caltius under which we agreed to provide demand registration rights covering the Caltius Shares through the end of the first anniversary of the closing in the limited instances that we are either no longer current in our periodic reports required by the Exchange Act, or we are otherwise unable to maintain the listing of our shares on the exchange or automated quotation system upon which they currently trade. We also agreed to provide “piggyback” registration rights on customary and standard terms until the earlier of: (i) such time that Caltius no longer owns any of the Caltius Shares; or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the date of the Investor Rights Agreement. We have agreed to provide Caltius with customary rights of indemnification and to cover certain of the expenses associated with the registration of the Caltius Shares. The demand and piggyback registration rights granted are subject to standard and customary rights of deferral, underwriter cut-back, and black-out periods.

 

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, we are subject to certain customary affirmative and negative covenants. These include, but are not limited to, restrictions on: (i) types and amounts of indebtedness that we can incur; (ii) dividends that can be paid; (iii) distributions that can be made; (iv) certain asset sales, lease commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments. In addition, the Investment Agreement contains restrictions, subject to certain exceptions, on our ability to incur any earn-out obligations or seller notes in connection with any future acquisitions. The Investment Agreement also contains financial covenants including, but not limited to, funded leverage ratio covenants, senior funded leverage ratio covenants and fixed charges ratio covenants. Further, under the Investment Agreement, we are permitted to make additional acquisitions only if certain conditions are satisfied, including, among other things, the following: (i) the acquisition constitutes a business reasonably related to our then current business; (ii) no default or event of default shall exist prior to or will be caused as a result of such acquisition; (iii) Caltius has been provided with prior written notice (and a description) of such acquisition; and (iv) satisfaction of certain financial considerations. Also, under the Investment Agreement, we agreed to provide Caltius board observation rights, which gives Caltius the right to designate one representative to attend and observe meetings of our Board of Directors, and to maintain key man life insurance covering our CEO, Bohn Crain.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We and the selling stockholders may sell the securities covered by this prospectus in any of three ways (or in any combination):

  

•to or through underwriters or dealers;

 

•directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser; or

 

•through agents.

 

Each time we offer and sell securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will set forth the terms of the offering of the securities covered by this prospectus, including:

 

•the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities underwritten or purchased by each of them;

 

• the purchase price of the securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale;

 

•any over-allotment options under which underwriters may purchase additional securities;

 

34
 

 

•any underwriting discounts or commissions or agency fees and other items constituting underwriters’ or agents’ compensation;

 

•the initial public offering price of the securities;

 

•any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and

 

•any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

 

Underwriters or dealers may offer and sell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by such underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. We and the selling stockholders may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, or directly by underwriters or dealers. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the securities of the series offered by the prospectus supplement. We will describe the nature of any such relationship in the prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter or dealer.

 

We and the selling stockholders may use underwriters with whom we or they have a material relationship. We and the selling stockholders may sell the securities through agents from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we and the selling stockholders pay to them. Unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

 

We and the selling stockholders may authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain purchasers to purchase securities from us or them 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 prospectus supplement will set forth the conditions to these contracts and any commissions we or the selling stockholders pay for solicitation of these contracts.

  

We may provide agents, dealers and underwriters indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may be required to make in respect of such liabilities. Agents, dealers and underwriters may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

 

All securities we offer other than common stock will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in the securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

 

35
 

 

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.

 

We may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities 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 securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of 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 to offerings by the selling stockholders that may be described in a prospectus supplement, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, without a prospectus supplement, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered by this prospectus in private transactions at prevailing market prices, or privately negotiated prices, and may sell either directly or through a broker-dealer in transactions between selling stockholders and purchasers, or otherwise.

  

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

· privately negotiated transactions;

 

· short sales;

 

· agreements with broker-dealers to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

· a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

The selling stockholders and any agents or broker−dealers that the selling stockholders use to sell their shares of our common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any discount, concession or commission received by them or any profit on the resale of shares as principal may be deemed to be an underwriting discount or commission under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be underwriters, the selling stockholders may be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, the selling stockholders may have liability as underwriters under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders have advised us that, as of the date of this prospectus, they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker−dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder. If required at the time a particular offer of shares is made, a supplement to this prospectus will be distributed that will set forth:

 

  · the number of shares being offered;
   
· the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent;

 

· the purchase price paid by any underwriter;

 

· any discount, commission and other underwriter compensation;

 

· any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer;

 

· the proposed selling price to the public; and

 

· other facts material to the transaction.

 

We are required to pay certain of the fees and expenses incurred incident to the registration of the shares, except for underwriting discounts and commissions, all of which will be borne by the selling stockholders. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders and their respective underwriters, officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and controlling person, against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the federal securities laws.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the securities being offered by this prospectus will be passed upon by Fox Rothschild LLP, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Stephen M. Cohen, a partner at Fox Rothschild LLP, is the beneficial owner of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, or 7.6%, of the Company. Such shares are held of record by Mr. Cohen’s wife, but Mr. Cohen has shared voting and dispositive control over such shares.

PART II

 

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

 

The following table sets forth the estimated costs and expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by us in connection with the offering of the securities being registered. The selling stockholders will bear none of the following expenses. All of the amounts shown are estimates, except for the registration fee.

 

Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee   $ 7,751  
Accounting fees and expenses     (1)    
Legal fees and expenses     (1)    
Printing and miscellaneous expenses     (1)    
Blue Sky filing fees     (1)    
Total     (1)    

 

 

 

(1)These fees and expenses depend on the securities offered and the number of issuances and, accordingly, cannot be estimated at this time.

 

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that we indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred, including liabilities under the Securities Act, provided they act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.

 

Pursuant to Section 102 of the DGCL, a director’s liability is not eliminated (1) for a breach of such director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the DGCL (relating to the declaration of dividends and purchase or redemption of shares in violation of the DGCL) or (4) for any transaction from which such director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

We believe that the indemnification provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. These provisions do not eliminate a directors’ or officers’ duty of care, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under the DGCL. The indemnification provisions also do not affect a director’s responsibilities under any other law, such as federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.

 

If we fail to pay in full a claim for indemnification within 30 days, then the person claiming an indemnification right may bring suit to enforce the indemnification claim. We must prove the person claiming indemnification has failed to meet the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL for us to indemnify such person.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our executive officers or directors to which indemnification is being sought, nor are we aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by any executive officer or director.

 

II-1
 

 

We have an insurance policy covering our executive officers and directors with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

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;

 

II-2
 

 

(ii)         to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 the 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 aggregate offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC 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 (1)(i), (1)(ii) and (1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(i)          each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 

(ii)         each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

 

II-3
 

 

(5)         That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of 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 communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

 

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

 

(7)         That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(8)         That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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.

 

(9)         Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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.

 

(10)        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.
