About CEL-SCI Corporation

We were formed as a Colorado corporation in 1983. Our principal office is located at 8229 Boone Boulevard, Suite 802, Vienna, VA 22182. Our telephone number is 703-506-9460 and our web site is www.cel-sci.com. The information on our website is not part of this prospectus.

Our business consists of the following:

Multikine® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) investigational immunotherapy against cancer and Human Papilloma Virus (HPV);

LEAPS technology, with two investigational therapies, LEAPS-H1N1-DC pandemic flu treatment for hospitalized patients and CEL-2000, a rheumatoid arthritis treatment vaccine.

MULTIKINE

Our lead investigational therapy, Multikine, is currently being developed as a potential therapeutic agent directed at using the immune system to produce an anti-tumor immune response. Data from Phase I and Phase II clinical trials suggest that Multikine simulates the activities of a healthy person's immune system, enabling it to use the body's own anti-tumor immune response. Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is the full name of this investigational therapy, which, for simplicity, is referred to in the remainder of this document as Multikine. Multikine is the trademark that we have registered for this investigational therapy, and this proprietary name is subject to FDA review in connection with our future anticipated regulatory submission for approval. Multikine has not been licensed or approved for sale, barter or exchange by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. Neither has its safety or efficacy been established for any use.

Multikine has been cleared by the regulators in twelve countries around the world, including the U.S. FDA, for a global Phase III clinical trial in advanced primary (not yet treated) head and neck cancer patients. The trial is currently under the management of two new clinical research organizations (CROs) who are adding approximately 60 clinical centers in existing and new countries to increase the speed of patient enrollment.

The trial will test the hypothesis that Multikine treatment administered prior to the current standard therapy for head and neck cancer patients (surgical resection of the tumor and involved lymph nodes followed by radiotherapy or radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy) will extend the overall survival, enhance the local/regional control of the disease and reduce the rate of disease progression in patients with advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.

The primary clinical endpoint in CEL-SCI's ongoing Phase III clinical trial is that a 10% improvement in overall survival in the Multikine treatment arm, plus the current standard of care (SOC - consisting of surgery + radiotherapy or surgery + radiochemotherapy), over that which can be achieved in the SOC arm alone (in the well-controlled Phase III clinical trial currently ongoing) must be achieved. Based on what is presently known about the current survival statistics for this population, CEL-SCI believes that achievement of this endpoint should enable CEL-SCI, subject to further consultations with FDA, to move forward, prepare and submit a Biologic License Application to FDA for Multikine.

The clinical trial involves giving Multikine to cancer patients prior to their receiving any conventional treatment for cancer, including surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. This could be shown to be important because conventional therapy may weaken the immune system, and may compromise the potential effect of immunotherapy. Because Multikine is given before conventional cancer therapy, when the immune system may be more intact, we believe the possibility exists for it to have a greater likelihood of activating an anti-tumor immune response under these conditions. This likelihood is one of the clinical aspects being evaluated in the ongoing global Phase III clinical trial.

Multikine is a different kind of investigational therapy in the fight against cancer. Multikine is a defined mixture of cytokines. It is a combination immunotherapy, possessing both active and passive properties.

In October 2012 and again in November 2013, in an interim review of the safety data from the Phase III study, an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) raised no safety concerns. The IDMC also indicated that no safety signals were found that would call into question the benefit/risk of continuing the study. CEL-SCI considers the results of the IDMC review to be important since studies have shown that up to 30% of Phase III trials fail due to safety considerations and the IDMC’s safety findings from this interim review were similar to those reported by investigators during CEL-SCI’s Phase I-II trials. Ultimately, the decision as to whether a drug is safe is made by the FDA based on an assessment of all of the data from a trial.

On October 7, 2013, CEL-SCI announced a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Naval Medical Center, San Diego. Pursuant to this agreement, the Naval Medical Center will conduct Human Subjects Institutional Review Board approved Phase I study of CEL-SCI’s investigational immunotherapy, Multikine, in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts. Anal and genital warts are commonly associated with the Human Papilloma Virus, the most common sexually transmitted disease. Men and women with a history of anogenital warts have a 30 fold increased risk of anal cancer. Persistent HPV infection in the anal region is thought to be responsible for up to 80% of anal cancers. HPV is a significant health problem in the HIV infected population as individuals are living longer as a result of greatly improved HIV medications.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical impact of Multikine as a treatment of peri-anal warts and assess its effect on anal intraepithelial dysplasia (AIN) in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women.

CEL-SCI will contribute the investigational study drug Multikine, will retain all rights to any currently owned technology, and will have the right to exclusively license any new technology developed from the collaboration.

Multikine is being given to the HIV/HPV co-infected patients with peri-anal warts since promising early results were seen in another Institutional Review Board approved Multikine Phase I study conducted at the University of Maryland. In this study, investigational therapy Multikine was given to HIV/HPV co-infected women with cervical dysplasia resulting in visual and histological evidence of clearance of lesions. Furthermore, elimination of a number of HPV strains was determined by in situ polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on tissue biopsy collected before and after Multikine treatment. As reported by the investigators in the earlier study, the study volunteers all appeared to tolerate the treatment with no reported serious adverse events.

The treatment regimen for the study of up to 15 HIV/HPV co-infected patient volunteers with peri-anal warts to be conducted by the Naval Medical Center will be identical to the regimen that was used in the earlier Multikine cervical study in HIV/HPV co-infected patients.

In October 2013, CEL-SCI entered into a co-development and profit sharing agreement with Ergomed for Multikine in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts. This agreement will initially be in support of the development with the US Navy. Ergomed will assume up to $3 million in clinical and regulatory costs.

Also in October 2013, CEL-SCI entered into a co-development and profit sharing agreement with Ergomed for Multikine in HIV/HPV co-infected women with cervical dysplasia. Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease. HPV is a significant health problem in the HIV infected population as individuals are living longer as a result of greatly improved HIV medications. People living with HIV and others with compromised immunity are more at risk for HPV-related complications. Persistent HPV infection can also be a precursor to cervical cancer. Ergomed will assume up to $3 million in clinical and regulatory costs.

CEL-SCI’s focus in HPV is not the development of an antiviral against HPV in the general population. Instead it is the development of an immunotherapy to be used in patients who are immune suppressed by diseases such as HIV and are therefore less able or unable to control HPV and its resultant diseases. This group of patients has no good treatments available to them and there are, to the Company’s knowledge, no competitors at the current time. HPV is also relevant to the head and neck cancer Phase III study since it is now known that HPV is a cause of head and neck cancer. Multikine was shown to kill HPV in an earlier study of HIV infected women with cervical dysplasia.

LEAPS

CEL-SCI’s patented T-cell Modulation Process, referred to as LEAPS (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System), uses “heteroconjugates” to direct the body to choose a specific immune response. LEAPS is designed to stimulate the human immune system to more effectively fight bacterial, viral and parasitic infections as well as autoimmune, allergies, transplantation rejection and cancer, when it cannot do so on its own. Administered like a vaccine, LEAPS combines T-cell binding ligands with small, disease associated, peptide antigens and may provide a new method to treat and prevent certain diseases.

The ability to generate a specific immune response is important because many diseases are often not combated effectively due to the body’s selection of the “inappropriate” immune response. The capability to specifically reprogram an immune response may offer a more effective approach than existing vaccines and drugs in attacking an underlying disease.

Using the LEAPS technology, we have created a potential peptide treatment for H1N1 (swine flu) hospitalized patients. This LEAPS flu treatment is designed to focus on the conserved, non-changing epitopes of the different strains of Type A Influenza viruses (H1N1, H5N1, H3N1, etc.), including “swine”, “avian or bird”, and “Spanish Influenza”, in order to minimize the chance of viral “escape by mutations” from immune recognition. Therefore one should think of this treatment not really as an H1N1 treatment, but as a pandemic flu treatment. CEL-SCI’s LEAPS flu treatment contains epitopes known to be associated with immune protection against influenza in animal models.

Additional work on this treatment for the pandemic flu work is being pursued in collaboration with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, USA. In May 2011 NIAID scientists presented data at the Keystone Conference on “Pathogenesis of Influenza: Virus-Host Interactions” in Hong Kong, China, showing the positive results of efficacy studies in mice of L.E.A.P.S. H1N1 activated dendritic cells (DCs) to treat the H1N1 virus. Scientists at the NIAID found that H1N1-infected mice treated with LEAPS-H1N1 DCs showed a survival advantage over mice treated with control DCs. The work was performed in collaboration with scientists led by Kanta Subbarao, M.D., Chief of the Emerging Respiratory Diseases Section in NIAID’s Division of Intramural Research, part of the National Institutes of Health, USA.

In July 2013, CEL-SCI announced the publication of the results of additional influenza studies by researchers from the NIAID in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (www.jci.org/articles/view/67550). The studies described in the publication show that when CEL-SCI’s investigational J-LEAPS Influenza Virus treatments were used “in vitro” to activate immune cells called dendritic cells (DCs), these activated dendritic cells, when injected into influenza infected mice, arrested the progression of lethal influenza virus infection in these mice. The work was performed in the laboratory of Dr. Subbarao.

With our LEAPS technology, we have also developed a second peptide named CEL-2000, a potential rheumatoid arthritis vaccine. The data from animal studies of rheumatoid arthritis using the CEL-2000 treatment vaccine demonstrated that CEL-2000 is an effective treatment against arthritis with fewer administrations than those required by other anti-rheumatoid arthritis treatments, including Enbrel®. CEL-2000 is also potentially a more disease type-specific therapy, is calculated to be significantly less expensive, and may be useful in patients unable to tolerate or who may not be responsive to existing anti-arthritis therapies.

Trading symbol: Common Stock – NYSE MKT	CVM

Unless we indicate otherwise, the number of shares to be outstanding after this offering is based on 58,276,571 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014, but excludes any warrants which may be sold by means of this prospectus, and approximately 41,409,000 shares which may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants or the conversion of a note, and reflects a 1-for-10 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock, options and warrants effective as of September 25, 2013 and the corresponding adjustment of all common stock price, per share and stock option and warrant exercise price data.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our common stock and warrants involves significant risks. You should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” included and incorporated by reference in the accompanying prospectus, this prospectus supplement and any other applicable prospectus supplement, including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, as updated by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2013 and our other filings with the SEC, filed after the Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties we described are not the only ones facing us. Additional risks not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may also impair our business operations. If any of these risks were to occur, our business, financial condition, or result of operations would likely suffer. In that event, the trading price of our common stock would decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds of this offering.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for our Phase III clinical trial, other research and development, and general and administrative expenses. See "Use of Proceeds" on page 12. We have not designated the amount of net proceeds we will receive from this offering for any particular purpose. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of these net proceeds and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for us. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

Since the offering price of the securities offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale of 8,800,000 shares of common stock and 2,200,000 warrants in this offering at the public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, if you purchase securities in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $1.08 per share in the net tangible book value of the common stock you acquire. See the “Dilution” section of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase securities in this offering.

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings or other equity issuances.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities, your investment in our common stock will be diluted. These sales may also result in material dilution to our existing shareholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing shareholders.

Our outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

As of March 31, 2014, there were outstanding options which allows the holders to purchase approximately 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, at prices ranging between $0.85 and $20.00 per share, outstanding warrants which allow the holders to purchase approximately 35,132,000 shares of our common stock, at prices ranging between $0.53 and $17.50 per share, and a convertible note which allows the holder to acquire approximately 276,000 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $4.00. The outstanding options and warrants could adversely affect our ability to obtain future financing or engage in certain mergers or other transactions, since the holders of options and warrants can be expected to exercise them at a time when we may be able to obtain additional capital through a new offering of securities on terms more favorable to us than the terms of the outstanding options and warrants. For the life of the options, warrants and the convertible note, the holders have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of our common stock without assuming the risk of ownership. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, or the conversion of the note, will also dilute the ownership interests of our existing stockholders.

We may have exposure for certain securities we sold in October 2013.

In September 2012, we filed a shelf registration statement covering the sale of $50,000,000 of securities (the “2012 Registration Statement”), and in January 2013 we filed another shelf registration statement covering the sale of an additional $50,000,000 of securities (the “2013 Registration Statement”). In October 2013, we filed a prospectus supplement to the 2012 Registration Statement for the sale in an underwritten public offering of 17,826,087 shares of our common stock, 20,475,000 Series S Warrants, as well as up to 20,475,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series S warrants (the “October Prospectus”). Collectively, we offered approximately $43.4 million of securities pursuant to the October Prospectus. This amount includes approximately $17.8 million for the sale of the common stock and Series S warrants and $25.6 million upon the exercise of the Series S Warrants. We subsequently realized that at the time of the October 2013 offering we had approximately $28.9 million available for issuance under the 2012 Registration Statement. As a result, we issued securities that were not registered with the SEC, and that may not have been eligible for an exemption from registration under the federal or state securities laws. We had securities available under the 2013 Registration Statement to register all of the securities not covered by the 2012 Registration Statement. In December 2013, we filed a prospectus supplement to the 2013 Registration Statement registering the offer and sale of all of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series S Warrants included in the October 2013 offering to assure that the offering and sale of all of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Series S Warrants were registered (the “December Prospectus”). Prior to the filing of the December Prospectus, no Series S Warrants issued in the October offering had been exercised. Notwithstanding the above, the actions we have taken to mitigate our possible non-compliance with securities laws will not prevent regulators from asserting that we violated the law, from imposing penalties and fines against us with respect to any potential violations of securities laws, and may subject us to possible claims for damages from certain investors.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock and warrants that we are offering will be approximately $11,340,000, after deducting the underwriters’ commissions and the offering expenses payable by us, assuming all of the shares and warrants offered hereunder are sold, but assuming no exercise of the warrants.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for our Phase III clinical trial, other research and development, and general and administrative expenses. We have not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any of the foregoing purposes. The net proceeds from this offering will not be sufficient to complete clinical trials and other studies required for the approval of any product by the FDA, and we will need significant additional funds in the future.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds from this offering as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

DILUTION

If you purchase our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock after this offering.

The net tangible book value of our common stock on March 31, 2014 was approximately $0.18 per share, based on 58,261,571 shares of our common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2014. Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding. Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers for shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately afterwards.

After giving effect to the sale of 8,800,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,200,000 shares of our common stock in this offering at a combined public offering price of $1.40 per share and warrant, and after deducting the underwriters’ commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2014 would have been approximately $21,760,000 (unaudited) or $0.32 per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $0.14 per share to existing stockholders and the immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of $1.08 per share to new investors purchasing our shares in this offering.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution. All amounts in the table are unaudited.

For purposes of the calculations below, the public offering price of the warrants has been allocated to the public offering price of the shares of common stock sold in this offering. The calculations below do not give any effect to the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants or to the proceeds from any exercise of such warrants.

The following table illustrates this per share dilution. All amounts in the table are unaudited.

Offering price per share	$	1.40

Net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2014	$	0.18

Pro forma net tangible book value per share as of March 31, 2014, after giving effect to this offering	$	0.32

Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering	$	0.14

Every four warrants allow the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $1.58 per share. The warrants will expire on October 17, 2014.

Common stock

The material terms and provisions of our common stock are described under the caption “Description of Securities” in the accompanying prospectus. As of March 31, 2014, we had 58,261,571 shares of common stock outstanding. Our common stock is listed on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “CVM”.

Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the warrants that are being offered hereby is not complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the warrant agreement governing the terms of the warrants, the form of which will be filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file in connection with this offering. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the warrant agreement and form of warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the warrants.

Duration and Exercise Price: Every four warrants offered hereby will entitle the holder to purchase one share of our common stock at an initial exercise price of $1.58 per share, commencing immediately on the date of issuance. The warrants will expire on October 17, 2014.

Cashless Exercise: If, at any time during the term of the warrants, the issuance of shares of our common stock upon exercise of the warrants is not covered by an effective registration statement, the holder is permitted to effect a cashless exercise of the warrants (in whole or in part) by having the holder deliver to us a duly executed exercise notice, canceling a portion of the warrant in payment of the purchase price payable in respect of the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise.

Transferability: The warrants may be transferred at the option of the warrant holder upon surrender of the warrant with the appropriate instruments of transfer. However, as of the date of this prospectus supplement there was no public market for the warrants. There can be no assurance that any public market for the warrants will develop in the future.

Listing and Warrant Agent: The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement with Computershare, Inc., as warrant agent. We will not apply to list the warrants on NYSE MKT.

Rights as a stockholder: Except as set forth in the warrants, the holders of the warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise the warrants

Fundamental Transactions: In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the warrants and generally including any merger with another entity, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets to another entity, or the acquisition by a person of more than 50% of our common stock, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to receive upon exercise of the warrants such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants immediately prior to the fundamental transaction, and appropriate provision will be made so that the provisions of the warrants (including, for example, provisions relating to the adjustment of the exercise price) will thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any share of stock, securities or assets deliverable upon the exercise of the warrants after the fundamental transaction. In lieu of the right to receive upon exercise the shares of stock, securities, or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of shares of our common stock, the holders of the warrants, in certain limited circumstances, may require us under certain circumstances to redeem the warrants for a purchase price payable in cash of the Black-Scholes value of the warrants, as calculated pursuant to the terms of the warrants.

Representatives’ Warrants

We have also agreed to issue to Dawson James Securities, Inc. and Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., the representatives of the underwriters of this offering, underwriters’ warrants to purchase a number of our shares of common stock equal to an aggregate of 5% of the shares of common stock and 5% of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants sold in this offering. The underwriters’ warrants will have an exercise price equal to 125% of the combined public offering purchase price of the securities set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The warrants will not be initially exercisable until six months after the closing of this offering and will expire on the three-year anniversary of the initial exercise date. The underwriters’ warrants are not redeemable by us. This prospectus also covers the sale of the underwriters’ warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the underwriters’ warrants.

Rights Agreement

In November 2007 we declared a dividend of one Series A Right and one Series B Right for each share of our common stock which was outstanding on November 9, 2007. When the Rights become exercisable, each Series A Right will entitle the registered holder, subject to the terms of a Rights Agreement, to purchase from us one share of our common stock at a price equal to 20% of the market price of our common stock on the exercise date, although the price may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. If after a person or group of affiliated persons has acquired 15% or more of our common stock or following the commencement of, a tender offer for 15% or more of our outstanding common stock (i) we are acquired in a merger or other business combination and we are not the surviving corporation, (ii) any person consolidates or merges with us and all or part of our common shares are converted or exchanged for securities, cash or property of any other person, or (iii) 50% or more of our consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Series B Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon payment of the exercise price of $100 (subject to adjustment), that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction has a market value that is twice the exercise price of the Series B Right.

We have agreed to pay Dawson James Securities, Inc. and Laidlaw & Company (UK) Ltd., the representatives of the underwriters of this offering, a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the total public offering price for the shares offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus.

We have agreed to pay the representatives, to the extent permitted pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(f)(K), a cash fee equal to 6.5% of the cash proceeds received from a cash exercise of the warrants offered pursuant this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus.

Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), with limited exceptions, neither the warrants issued to the representative nor any warrant shares issued upon exercise of the warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering.

Discretionary Accounts

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the U.S. federal securities laws, or to contribute to payments that may be required to be made in respect of these liabilities.

Stabilization

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

●

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum, and are engaged in for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares while the offering is in progress.

●

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by exercise of the overallotment option and, therefore, have a naked short position, the position can be closed out only by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that after pricing there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

●

Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a commission from a syndicate member when the shares originally sold by that syndicate member are purchased in stabilizing or syndicate covering transactions to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our shares or common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of our shares or common stock. As a result, the price of our common stock in the open market may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of these transactions. Neither we nor the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. These transactions may be effected on NYSE MKT, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Passive Market Making

In connection with this offering, underwriters and selling group members may engage in passive market making transactions in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during a period before the commencement of offers or sales of the shares and extending through the completion of the distribution. A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. However, if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.
