RISK FACTORS
Our future operating results are highly uncertain. Before deciding to invest in our common
stock or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks described
below, in addition to the other information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31 2004, as amended, and in our other filings with the SEC, including our
subsequent reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are
not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we
currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. If any of these risks actually
occur, that could seriously harm our business, financial condition or results of operations. In
that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of
your investment.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate and cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Our quarterly revenue and operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past and may
continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are not within
our control. If our operating results do not meet the expectations of securities analysts or
investors, our stock price may decline. Fluctuations in our operating results may be due to a
number of factors, including the following:
|
|
|
the size and timing of orders from and shipments to our major customers; |
|
|
|
|
the size and timing of any return product requests for our products; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to maintain or increase gross margins; |
|
|
|
|
variations in our sales channels or the mix of our product sales; |
|
|
|
|
the gain or loss of a key customer; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to specify, develop, complete, introduce, market and transition to
volume production new products and technologies in a timely manner; |
|
|
|
|
the availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the
resulting effect on sales and pricing of our products; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of new and emerging technologies; |
|
|
|
|
our ability successfully to integrate acquisitions of other companies or technologies; |
|
|
|
|
deferrals of orders by our customers in anticipation of new products, applications,
product enhancements or operating systems; and |
|
|
|
|
general economic and market conditions. |
A large portion of our operating expenses, including rent, depreciation and amortization is
fixed and difficult to reduce or change. Accordingly, if our total revenue does not meet our
expectations, we may not be able to adjust our expenses quickly enough to compensate for the
shortfall in revenue. In that event, our business, financial condition and results of operations
would be materially and adversely affected.
Due to all of the foregoing factors, and the other risks discussed in this report, you should
not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results as an indication of future
performance.
Although we have begun reporting backlog, our ability to predict our revenues and operating
results is extremely limited. We have historically operated with little backlog because we have
generally shipped our software products and recognized revenue shortly after we received orders
because our production cycle has
3
traditionally been very short. As a result, our sales in any quarter were generally dependent
on orders that were booked and shipped in that quarter. As our wireless business has evolved,
production cycle time for items such as data kits has increased to the point that orders received
towards the end of a quarter may not ship until the subsequent quarter. Additionally, customers
may issue purchase orders that have extended delivery dates that may cause the shipment to fall in
a subsequent quarter. These situations make it difficult for us to predict what our revenues and
operating results will be in any quarter. Therefore, the level of backlog is not necessarily
indicative of trends in our business. As of June 30, 2005, we had a backlog of approximately $1.3
million.
We depend upon a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenues. In the
past we have derived a substantial portion of our revenues from sales to a small number of
customers and expect to continue to do so in the future. The agreements we have with these
entities do not require them to purchase any minimum quantity of our products and may be terminated
by the entity or us at any time for any reason upon minimal prior written notice. Accordingly, we
cannot be certain that these customers will continue to place large orders for our products in the
future, or purchase our products at all. In 2004, Verizon, our largest OEM customer, accounted for
69% of our net revenue, and our three largest OEM customers accounted for 77.8% of our net revenue.
Our customers may acquire products from our competitors or develop their own products that
compete directly with ours. Any substantial decrease or delay in our sales to one or more of these
entities in any quarter would have an adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition,
certain of our customers have in the past and may in the future acquire competitors or be acquired
by competitors, causing further industry consolidation. In the past, such acquisitions have caused
the purchasing departments of the combined companies to reevaluate their purchasing decisions. If
one of our major customers engages in an acquisition in the future, it could change its current
purchasing habits. In that event, we could lose the customer, or experience a decrease in orders
from that customer or a delay in orders previously made by that customer. Further, although we
maintain allowances for doubtful accounts, the insolvency of one or more of our major customers
could result in a substantial decrease in our revenues.
Competition within our product markets is intense and includes numerous established
competitors, which could negatively affect our revenue. We operate in markets that are extremely
competitive and subject to rapid changes in technology. Microsoft Corporation poses a significant
competitive threat to us because Microsoft operating systems may include some capabilities now
provided by certain of our OEM and retail software products. If users are satisfied relying on the
capabilities of the Windows-based systems or other operating systems, or other vendors products,
sales of our products are likely to decline. In addition, because there are low barriers to entry
into the software market, we expect significant competition from both established and emerging
software companies in the future. Furthermore, many of our existing and potential OEM customers
may acquire or develop products that compete directly with our products.
Microsoft and many of our other current and prospective competitors have significantly greater
financial, marketing, service, support, technical and other resources than we do. As a result,
they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer
requirements or to devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. There is
also a substantial risk that announcements of competing products by large competitors such as
Microsoft or other vendors could result in the cancellation of orders by customers in anticipation
of the introduction of such new products. In addition, some of our competitors currently make
complementary products that are sold separately. Such competitors could decide to enhance their
competitive position by bundling their products to attract customers seeking integrated,
cost-effective software applications. Some competitors have a retail emphasis and offer OEM
products with a reduced set of features. The opportunity for retail upgrade sales may induce these
and other competitors to make OEM products available at cost or even at a loss. We also expect
competition to increase as a result of software industry consolidations, which may lead to the
creation of additional large and well-financed competitors. Increased competition is likely to
result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share.
Acquisitions of companies or technologies may disrupt our business and divert management
attention and cause our current operations to suffer. We have in the past made and we expect to
continue to consider acquisitions of complementary companies, products or technologies. If we make
any additional acquisitions, we will be required to assimilate the operations, products and
personnel of the acquired businesses and
4
train, retain and motivate key personnel from the acquired businesses. We may be unable to
maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies if we fail in these efforts.
Similarly, acquisitions may cause disruptions in our operations and divert managements attention
from our companys day-to-day operations, which could impair our relationships with our current
employees, customers and strategic partners. Acquisitions may also subject us to liabilities and
risks that are not known or identifiable at the time of the acquisition.
We may also have to incur debt or issue equity securities in order to finance future
acquisitions. The issuance of equity securities for any acquisition could be substantially
dilutive to our existing stockholders. In addition, we expect our profitability could be adversely
affected because of acquisition-related accounting costs and write offs. In consummating
acquisitions, we are also subject to risks of entering geographic and business markets in which we
have had limited or no prior experience. If we are unable to fully integrate acquired businesses,
products or technologies within existing operations, we may not receive the intended benefits of
acquisitions.
If the adoption of new technologies and services grows more slowly than anticipated in our
product planning and development, our future sales and profits may be negatively affected. If the
adoption of new technologies and services does not grow or grows more slowly than anticipated in
our product planning and development, demand for certain of our products and services will be
reduced. For example, our new QuickLink Mobile Wi-Fi product provides notebook users with the
ability to roam between wireless wide area networks and Wi-Fi hot spots. Another product,
QuickLink Wi-Fi, allows users to seek out and select available hot spots in their area. Therefore,
future sales and any future profits from this and related products are substantially dependent upon
the widespread acceptance and use of Wi-Fi as an effective medium of communication by consumers and
businesses.
Our products may contain undetected software errors, which could negatively affect our
revenue. Our software products are complex and may contain undetected errors. In the past, we
have discovered software errors in certain of our products and have experienced delayed or lost
revenue during the period it took to correct these errors. Although we and our OEM customers test
our products, it is possible that errors may be found in our new or existing products after we have
commenced commercial shipment of those products. These undetected errors could result in adverse
publicity, loss of revenue, delay in market acceptance of our products or increased expense for
litigation.
Technology and customer needs change rapidly in our market, which could render our products
obsolete and negatively affect our revenue. Our future success will depend on our ability to
anticipate and adapt to changes in technology and industry standards. We will also need to
continue to develop and introduce new and enhanced products to meet our customers changing
demands, keep up with evolving industry standards, including changes in the Microsoft operating
systems with which our products are designed to be compatible, and to promote those products
successfully. The communications and utilities software markets in which we operate are
characterized by rapid technological change, changing customer needs, frequent new product
introductions, evolving industry standards and short product life cycles. Any of these factors
could render our existing products obsolete and unmarketable. In addition, new products and
product enhancements can require long development and testing periods as a result of the
complexities inherent in todays computing environments and the performance demanded by customers.
If our software markets do not develop as we anticipate, or our products do not gain widespread
acceptance in these markets or if we are unable to develop new versions of our software products
that can operate on future operating systems, our business, financial condition and results of
operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Delays or failure in deliveries from our component suppliers could cause our net revenue to
decline and harm our results of operations. We rely on third party suppliers to provide us with
services and components for our product kits. These components include: compact discs; cables;
printed manuals; and boxes. We do not have long-term supply arrangements with any vendor to obtain
these necessary services and components for our products. If we are unable to purchase components
from these suppliers or if the compact disc replication services that we use do not deliver our
requirements on schedule, we may not be able to deliver products to our customers on a timely basis
or enter into new orders because of a shortage in components. Any delays that we experience in
delivering our products to customers could impair our customer relationships and adversely impact
our reputation and our business. In addition, if our third party suppliers raise their prices for
components or services, our gross margins would be reduced.
5
A shortage in the supply of wireless communication devices such as PC cards could adversely
affect our revenues. Our products are utilized with major wireless networks throughout the world
that support data communications through the use of wireless communication devices such as PC
cards. Since wireless network providers generally incorporate our products into the wireless
communication devices that they sell directly to individual consumers, our future success depends
upon the availability of such devices to consumers at reasonable prices. A shortage in the supply
of wireless communication devices could put upward pressure on prices or limit the quantities
available to individual consumers which could materially affect the revenues that we generate from
our products.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights,
which could negatively impact our revenues. Our success is dependent upon our software code base,
our programming methodologies and other intellectual properties and proprietary rights. In order
to protect our proprietary technology, we rely on a combination of trade secret, nondisclosure and
copyright and trademark law. We currently own United States trademark registrations for certain of
our trademarks and United States patents for certain of our technologies, however, these measures
afford us only limited protection. Furthermore, we rely primarily on shrink wrap licenses that
are not signed by the end user and, therefore, may be unenforceable under the laws of certain
jurisdictions. Accordingly, it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise obtain our
rights without our authorization. It is also possible that third parties may independently develop
technologies similar to ours. It may be difficult for us to detect unauthorized use of our
intellectual property and proprietary rights.
We may be subject to claims of intellectual property infringement as the number of trademarks,
patents, copyrights and other intellectual property rights asserted by companies in our industry
grows and the coverage of these patents and other rights and the functionality of software products
increasingly overlap. From time to time, we have received communications from third parties
asserting that our trade name or features, content, or trademarks of certain of our products
infringe upon intellectual property rights held by such third parties. We have also received
correspondence from third parties separately asserting that our fax products may infringe on
certain patents held by each of the parties. Although we are not aware that any of our products
infringe on the proprietary rights of others, third parties may claim infringement by us with
respect to our current or future products. Infringement claims, whether with or without merit,
could result in time-consuming and costly litigation, divert the attention of our management, cause
product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements with third
parties. If we are required to enter into royalty or licensing agreements, they may not be on
terms that are acceptable to us. Unfavorable royalty or licensing agreements could seriously
impair our ability to market our products.
Our stock price is highly volatile. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares of
common stock at or above the price you paid for them. The market price of our common stock has
fluctuated substantially in the past and is likely to continue to be highly volatile and subject to
wide fluctuations. These fluctuations have occurred and may continue to occur in response to
various factors, many of which we cannot control, including:
|
|
|
quarter-to-quarter variations in our operating results; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations or new products by our competitors, customers or us; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions within our retail and OEM software markets; |
|
|
|
|
general global economic and political instability; |
|
|
|
|
changes in earnings estimates or investment recommendations by analysts; |
|
|
|
|
changes in investor perceptions; or |
|
|
|
|
changes in expectations relating to our products, plans and strategic position or
those of our competitors or customers. |
In addition, the market prices of securities of high technology companies have been especially
volatile. This volatility has significantly affected the market prices of securities of many
technology companies.
6
Accordingly, you may not be able to resell your shares of common stock at or above the price
you paid. In the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their
securities have been the subjects of securities class action litigation. If we were the object of
a securities class action litigation, it could result in substantial losses and divert managements
attention and resources from other matters.
If we are unable to retain key personnel, the loss of their services could materially and
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our future
performance depends in significant part upon the continued service of our senior management and
other key technical and consulting personnel. We do not have employment agreements with our key
employees that govern the length of their service. The loss of the services of our key employees
would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our future success also depends on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel, particularly highly skilled engineers involved in the ongoing research and
development required to develop and enhance our communication software products as well those in
our highly specialized consulting business. Competition for these employees remains high and
employee retention is a common problem in our industry. Our inability to attract and retain the
highly trained technical personnel that are essential to our product development, consulting
services, marketing, service and support teams may limit the rate at which we can generate revenue,
develop new products or product enhancements and generally would have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may need to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of additional
equity, or convertible debt securities or by borrowing money, in order to meet our capital needs.
Additional funds may not be available on terms acceptable to us to allow us to meet our capital
needs. We believe that the cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand and the cash we expect
to generate from operations will be sufficient to meet our capital needs for at least the next
twelve months. However, it is possible that we may need or choose to obtain additional financing
to fund our activities. We could raise these funds by selling more stock to the public or to
selected investors, or by borrowing money. We may not be able to obtain additional funds on
favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to curtail our
operations or other business activities significantly or to obtain funds through arrangements with
strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish right to certain technologies or
potential markets. If we raise additional funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt
securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced. In addition, the
equity or debt securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those
of the holders of our common stock. We currently have no established line of credit or other
business borrowing facility in place.
It is possible that our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now
planned. The amount of capital that we will need in the future will depend on many factors,
including:
|
|
|
the market acceptance of our products; |
|
|
|
|
the levels of promotion and advertising that will be required to launch our products
and achieve and maintain a competitive position in the marketplace; |
|
|
|
|
our business, product, capital expenditure and research and development plans and
product and technology roadmaps; |
|
|
|
|
the levels of inventory and accounts receivable that we maintain; |
|
|
|
|
capital improvements to new and existing facilities; |
|
|
|
|
technological advances; |
|
|
|
|
our competitors response to our products; and |
|
|
|
|
our relationships with suppliers and customers. |
7
In addition, we may require additional capital to accommodate planned growth, hiring,
infrastructure and facility needs or to consummate acquisitions of other businesses, products or
technologies.
Our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected as a
result of legal, business and economic risks specific to international operations. Approximately
5.2%, 14.8% and 15.1% of our revenues in the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, were derived from sales to customers outside the United States. We also frequently
ship products to our domestic customers international manufacturing divisions and subcontractors.
In the future, we may expand these international business activities. International operations are
subject to many inherent risks, including:
|
|
|
general political, social and economic instability; |
|
|
|
|
trade restrictions; |
|
|
|
|
the imposition of governmental controls; |
|
|
|
|
exposure to different legal standards, particularly with respect to intellectual property; |
|
|
|
|
burdens of complying with a variety of foreign laws; |
|
|
|
|
import and export license requirements and restrictions of the United States and
each other country in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
|
|
|
|
foreign technical standards; |
|
|
|
|
changes in tariffs; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in securing and servicing international customers; |
|
|
|
|
difficulties in collecting receivables from foreign entities; and |
|
|
|
|
potentially adverse tax consequences. |
These conditions may increase our cost of doing business. Moreover, as our customers are adversely
affected by these conditions, our business with them may be disrupted and our results of operations
could be adversely affected
The market price of our common stock may be adversely affected by the sale of significant
numbers of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder listed in the selling stockholder
table of this prospectus and others. This prospectus covers 397,547 shares of our common stock
that may be freely offered for resale. Other large blocks of shares eligible for resale under Rule
144 include 3,772,115 shares held by William W. Smith and 2,816,615 shares held by Rhonda L. Smith
(both as of August 31, 2005). The market price for our common stock could decline as a result of
the sale of a large number of the shares covered by this prospectus, or under Rule 144, or the
perception that such sales may occur. The sale of a large number of shares of our common stock
also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future
at a time and at the prices that we deem appropriate.
We may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and may sustain a loss of public confidence if we are
unable to satisfy regulatory requirements relating to internal controls over financial reporting.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to perform an evaluation of our internal
controls over financial reporting
8
and have our auditor attest to such evaluation on an annual basis. Compliance with these
requirements can be expensive and time-consuming. While we believe that we will be able to meet
the required deadlines, no assurance can be given that we will meet the required deadlines in
future years. If we fail to timely complete this evaluation, or if our auditors cannot timely
attest to our evaluation, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny and a loss of public confidence
in our internal controls.
Provisions of our charter and bylaws and Delaware law could make a takeover of our company
difficult. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may discourage or
prevent a third party from acquiring us, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders.
For instance, our certificate of incorporation authorizes the board of directors to fix the rights
and preferences of shares of any series of preferred stock, without action by our stockholders. As
a result, the board can authorize and issue shares of preferred stock, which could delay or prevent
a change of control because the rights given to the holders of such preferred stock may prohibit a
merger, reorganization, sale or other extraordinary corporate transaction. In addition, we are
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and certain provisions of Delaware law may have

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
All statements included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, other than statements
or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. Examples of
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning projected
expenses, our ability to control costs, our accounting estimates, assumptions and judgments, the
investment in research and development for our business units, the market acceptance and
performance of our products, the competitive nature of our markets, our ability to achieve product
integration, the status of, and our ability to keep pace with, evolving technologies, the
development and market acceptance of new product introductions, the adoption of future industry
standards, our production capacity, our ability to consummate acquisitions and integrate their
operations successfully, the need for additional capital, our ability to raise capital, and our
ability to achieve profitability. These forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, managements beliefs, and certain
assumptions made by us. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by words such as
anticipates, expects, intends, plans, predicts, believes, seeks, estimates, may,
will, should, would, potential, continue, similar expressions and variations or negatives
of these words. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other
characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
prospectus and are based upon the information available to us at this time. Such information is
subject to change, and we will not necessarily inform you of such changes. These statements are
not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that
are difficult to predict. Therefore, our actual results could differ materially and adversely from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, some of which are
listed under the section Risk Factors beginning on page 3 of this prospectus. We undertake no
obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will be sold by the selling stockholder,
and the selling stockholder will receive all of the proceeds from sales of such shares. We will
not receive any proceeds from sales of the shares offered by this prospectus.
11
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The selling stockholder acquired the shares held by it and offered by this prospectus in
connection with the sale to Smith Micro of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of
Allume, Inc. On July 1, 2005, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with the selling
stockholder. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we paid the selling stockholder $11
million cash and 397,547 restricted shares of our common stock, having a market value (based on a
ten day trading average) of $1,750,000. The transaction closed simultaneously with the execution
of the stock purchase agreement. The registration statement including this prospectus is filed
pursuant to a registration rights agreement by and among Smith Micro and the selling stockholder
requiring registration of the 397,547 restricted shares. Subject to certain exceptions, we are
required under the registration rights agreement to keep the registration statement effective for a
period of 360 days.
In accordance with the stock purchase agreement, 170,377 shares of the common stock were
issued in the name of the selling stockholder and delivered into an indemnification escrow subject
to the terms of an escrow agreement dated July 1, 2005. The selling stockholder will not have the
right to sell these shares until they are released pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement.
This prospectus also covers any additional shares of common stock which become issuable in
connection with the shares being registered by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which
results in an increase in the number of our outstanding shares of common stock.
The following table sets forth the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by
the selling stockholder as of July 1, 2005, after the closing of the acquisition, based on the
selling stockholders representations regarding its ownership. We cannot estimate the number of
shares that will be held by the selling stockholder after completion of this offering because the
selling stockholder may sell all or some of its shares and because there currently are no
agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale of any of their shares. For
purposes of the table below, we assume that all shares owned by the selling stockholder which are
offered by this prospectus will be sold. On August 31, 2005, 22,019,459 shares of our common stock
were outstanding.
Except as indicated in this section, we are not aware of any material relationship between us
and the selling stockholder within the past three years other than as a result of the selling
stockholders beneficial ownership of our common stock.

2005. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants or

31, 2005, are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding
such options or warrants or convertible debentures for the purpose of
computing the percentage of ownership of such person but are not
treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of
any other person. Other than as described in the preceding sentence,
shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants or
convertible debentures are not deemed to be outstanding. |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus on behalf of the
selling stockholder, which, as used herein, includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares of common stock or interests therein received after the date
of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other
transfer. We will not receive any of the proceeds from sales of the shares by the selling
stockholder or their transferees.
The selling stockholder named in this prospectus, or pledgees, donees, transferees or other
successors-in-interest selling shares received from the selling stockholder as a gift, partnership
distribution or other transfer after the date of this prospectus, may sell or otherwise dispose of
these shares or interests therein from time to time. The selling stockholder will act
independently from us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each
disposition. The dispositions may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter
market or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current
market price or in negotiated transactions. The selling stockholder may effect such transactions
by selling their shares to or through broker-dealers. The shares may be sold by one or more of, or
a combination of, the following:
|
|
|
a block trade in which the broker-dealer so engaged 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 such broker-dealer for its
account under this prospectus; |
|
|
|
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of such exchange; |
|
|
|
|
in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market, including negotiated sales; |
|
|
|
|
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether
through an options exchange or otherwise; |
|
|
|
|
through the settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part; |
|
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; or |
|
|
|
|
in privately negotiated transactions. |
To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to
describe a specific plan of distribution. In effecting sales, broker-dealers engaged by the
selling stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in such resales.
The selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers in connection
with distributions of their shares or otherwise. In such transactions, broker-dealers may engage
in short sales of the shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling
stockholder. The selling stockholder also may sell shares short and redeliver the shares to close
out such short positions. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative
securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of
shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution
may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The selling stockholder also may loan or pledge their shares to a broker-dealer. The broker-dealer
may sell the shares so loaned, or upon a default the broker-dealer or other financial institution
may sell the pledged shares under this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
14
Broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of commissions, discounts or
concessions from the selling stockholder. Broker-dealers or agents may also receive compensation
from the purchasers of the shares for whom they act as agents or to whom they sell as principals,
or both. Compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of customary
broker-dealers or the selling stockholder may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of
Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, in connection with
sales of the shares. Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and
any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts
or commissions under the Securities Act. Because the selling stockholder may be deemed to be an
underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling stockholder
will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements,
understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their
securities. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed
sale of shares by the selling stockholder.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the
distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect
to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of such
distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the associated rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation
M, which provisions may limit the timing of purchase and sales of shares of our common stock by the
selling stockholder. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder
and have informed it of the need for delivery of copies of this prospectus to purchasers at or
prior to the time of any sale of the shares.
We will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, under Rule 424(b) under the
Securities Act upon being notified by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been
entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering,
exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer. Such
supplement will disclose:
|
|
|
the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), |
|
|
|
|
the number of shares involved, |
|
|
|
|
the price at which such shares were sold, |
|
|
|
|
the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s),
where applicable, |
|
|
|
|
that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the
information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and |
|
|
|
|
other facts material to the transaction. |
In addition, upon being notified by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to
sell more than 500 shares under this prospectus, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.
We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares
covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholder will bear all commissions and discounts, if
any, attributable to the sales of their shares covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholder
may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales
of their shares covered by this prospectus against certain liabilities, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. In addition, we have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder
and its affiliates against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities
Act. Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the shares
covered by this prospectus.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant has broad powers to
indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities they may incur in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 1933 Act). The
Registrants Bylaws (the Bylaws) provide that the Registrant will indemnify its directors and
officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Bylaws require the Registrant to
advance litigation expenses in the case of stockholder derivative actions or other actions, against
an undertaking by the directors and officers to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined
that the directors and officers are not entitled to indemnification. The Bylaws further provide
that rights conferred under such Bylaws shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other right such
persons may have or acquire under any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors,
or otherwise. The Registrant believes that indemnification under its Bylaws covers at least
negligence and gross negligence.
In addition, the Registrants Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate of
Incorporation) provides that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers if such
persons acted (i) in good faith, (ii) in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Registrant, and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding,
with reasonable cause to believe such conduct was lawful. The Certificate of Incorporation also
provides that, pursuant to Delaware law, no director shall be liable for monetary damages for
breach of the directors fiduciary duty of care to the Registrant and its stockholders. This
provision in the Certificate of Incorporation does not eliminate the duty of care, and in
appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary
relief will remain available under Delaware law. In addition, each director will continue to be
subject to liability for breach of the directors duty of loyalty to the Registrant for acts or
omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for
actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or
approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are unlawful under Delaware law. The provision
also does not affect a directors responsibilities under any other law, such as the federal
securities laws or state or federal environmental laws. The Certificate of Incorporation further
provides that the Registrant is authorized to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest
extent permitted by law through the Bylaws, or any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested
directors, or otherwise.
II-1
The Registrant obtained directors and officers liability insurance in connection with its
initial public offering.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into agreements to indemnify its directors in addition
to the indemnification provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. These
agreements will, among other things, indemnify the Registrants directors for certain expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by such person in any
action or proceeding, including any action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of
services by that person as a director or officer of the Registrant, or as a director or officer of
any subsidiary of the Registrant, or as a director or officer of any other company or enterprise
that the person provides services to at the request of the Registrant.

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) 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 hereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
II-2
high end of the estimated maximum offering price may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price
set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration
statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such
information in this registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and
(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to
the SEC by us pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this 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 herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act each filing of Smith Micros Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference into
this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of Smith Micro pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, Smith Micro 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 Smith
Micro of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Smith Micro 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, Smith Micro will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the question 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.
II-3
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and
has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Aliso Viejo, state of California, on the 27th day of
September 2005.
