DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, including the documents we incorporate by
reference, contains forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and
Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking
statements are not historical facts, but only predictions and
generally can be identified by the use of statements that
include terms such as believe, expect,
anticipate, estimate, could,
plan, intend, may,
project, predict, will and
terms and phrases of similar import. Although we believe the
assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are
based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be
inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these
assumptions could be incorrect. While we have made these
forward-looking statements in good faith and they reflect our
current judgment regarding such matters, actual results could
vary materially from the forward-looking statements.
Accordingly, these forward-looking statements are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the factors described in
Risk Factors as well as to other factors described
below and the information in the documents incorporated by
reference herein. The forward-looking statements included in
this prospectus are made only as of their respective dates, and
we undertake no obligation to publicly update these
forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future
events or otherwise.
Important factors affecting forward-looking statements in this
prospectus include, but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in general business cycles for commercial aircraft,
military aircraft, space and defense products and industrial
capital goods; |
|
|
|
our dependence on government contracts, which may not be fully
funded or may be terminated; |
|
|
|
our significant indebtedness, which could limit our cash flow
for operations and flexibility; |
iii
|
|
|
|
|
the possibility that our subcontractors may fail to perform
their contractual obligations, which may adversely affect our
contract performance and our ability to obtain future business; |
|
|
|
the potential for cost overruns on fixed-price contracts and the
risk that actual results may differ from estimates used,
including those used in accounting for long-term contracts; |
|
|
|
the potential for substantial fines and penalties or suspension
or debarment from future contracts in the event we do not comply
with regulations relating to defense industry contracting; |
|
|
|
the potential that the demand for our products may be reduced if
we are unable to adapt to technological change; |
|
|
|
the possibility that our new products and research and
development efforts may not be successful, which would result in
a reduction in our sales and profits; |
|
|
|
our dependence on certain major customers, such as The Boeing
Company and Lockheed Martin, for a significant percentage of our
sales; |
|
|
|
intense competition in our business which may require us to
lower prices or offer more favorable terms of sale; |
|
|
|
higher pension costs and increased cash funding requirements,
which could occur in future years if future actual plan results
differ from assumptions used for our defined benefit plans,
including returns on plan assets and discount rates; |
|
|
|
a write-off of all or part of our goodwill or other intangible
assets, which could adversely affect our operating results and
net worth and cause us to violate covenants in our bank
agreements; |
|
|
|
our ability to successfully identify and consummate acquisitions
and integrate the acquired businesses; |
|
|
|
our exposure to successor liability relating to actions by an
acquired company and its management before the acquisition; |
|
|
|
the possibility that the due diligence we conduct in connection
with an acquisition, and any contractual guarantees or
indemnities that we receive from the sellers of acquired
companies, may not be sufficient to protect us from, or
compensate us for, actual liabilities whereby a material
liability could adversely affect our reputation and results of
operations and reduce the benefits of the acquisition; |
|
|
|
our dependence on our management team and key personnel; |
|
|
|
the possibility that future terror attacks, war or other civil
disturbances could negatively impact our business; |
|
|
|
our operations in foreign countries could expose us to political
risks and adverse changes in local, legal, tax and regulatory
schemes; |
|
|
|
the possibility that government regulation could inhibit our
ability to sell our products outside the United States; |
|
|
|
the possibility of a catastrophic loss of one or more of our
manufacturing facilities; |
|
|
|
the impact of product liability claims related to our products
used in applications where failure can result in significant
property damage, injury or death and in damage to our reputation; |
|
|
|
foreign currency fluctuations in those countries in which we do
business and other risks associated with international
operations; and |
|
|
|
the cost of compliance with environmental laws. |

MOOG INC.
Overview
We are a leading worldwide designer and manufacturer of high
performance, precision motion and fluid controls and control
systems for a broad range of applications in aerospace, defense
and industrial markets. Our products and systems include
military and commercial aircraft flight controls, satellite
positioning controls, controls for steering tactical and
strategic missiles, thrust vector controls for space launch
vehicles and controls for positioning gun barrels and automatic
ammunition loading for military combat vehicles. Our products
are also used in a wide variety of industrial applications,
including injection molding machines for the plastics markets,
metal forming, power generating turbines, simulators used to
train pilots and certain medical applications. In fiscal 2005,
our sales were $1.1 billion, our net cash provided by
operating activities was $106.9 million, and our net
earnings were $64.8 million.
Our customers fall into three groups, Original Equipment
Manufacturers, or OEMs, that are customers of our aerospace and
defense markets, OEM customers of our industrial business and
aftermarket customers in all of our markets. Aerospace and
defense OEM customers collectively represented 46% of our fiscal
2005 sales. The majority of these sales are to a small number of
large companies. Due to the long-term nature of many of the
programs, many of our relationships with aerospace and defense
OEM customers are based on long-term agreements. Our OEM sales
of industrial controls, which represented 33% of our fiscal 2005
sales, are to a wide diversity of customers around the world and
are normally based on lead times of 90 days or less. We
also provide aftermarket support, consisting of spare and
replacement parts and repair and overhaul services, for all of
our product applications. Our major aftermarket customers are
the U.S. Government and the commercial airlines. In fiscal
2005, aftermarket sales accounted for 21% of total sales. Sales
arising from U.S. Government prime or subcontracts,
including military sales to Boeing and Lockheed Martin, were
approximately 34% of our fiscal 2005 sales.
We have four reportable segments: (1) Aircraft Controls,
(2) Space and Defense Controls, (3) Industrial
Controls, and (4) Components.
Our Aircraft Controls Segment ($451.7 million, or 43%,
of 2005 Sales)
Within Aircraft Controls, we design, manufacture and integrate
primary and secondary flight controls for military and
commercial aircraft, and provide aftermarket support. Our
systems control large commercial transports, supersonic
fighters, multi-role military aircraft, business jets and
rotorcraft.
We are well positioned on both development and production
programs. Typically, development programs require concentrated
periods of research and development by our engineering teams and
involve design, development, testing and integration. We are
currently working on several large development programs
including the F-35
Joint Strike Fighter, Indian Light Combat Aircraft,
Boeings 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A400M and two unmanned
aerial vehicles, the
X-45 and
X-47. The
F-35 is the largest of
these programs. The 787 and the A400M programs began design and
development in 2004. Production programs are generally long-term
manufacturing efforts that extend for as long as the aircraft
builder receives new orders. Our large military production
programs include the
F/A-18 E/F Super
Hornet, F-15 Eagle and
the V-22 Osprey. Our
large commercial production programs include the full line of
Boeing 7-series
aircraft.
Our Space and Defense Controls Segment ($128.5 million,
or 12%, of 2005 Sales)
Our Space and Defense Controls segment provides controls for
satellites and space vehicles, launch vehicles, tactical and
strategic missiles, missile defense and defense controls. For
the commercial and military satellite markets, we design,
manufacture and integrate chemical and electric propulsion
systems and space flight motion controls. Launch vehicles and
missiles use our steering and propulsion controls, and the Space
Station uses our couplings, valves and actuators. We design and
build steering and propulsion controls for tactical and
strategic missile programs, including
VT-1, Hellfire and TOW.
We supply valves on the final stage kill vehicle used in the
U.S. National Missile Defense development
1
initiative. We design and manufacture systems to position gun
barrels and automatically load ammunition on military vehicles.
Our Industrial Controls Segment ($314.9 million, or 30%,
of 2005 Sales)
Industrial Controls is a diverse segment, serving customers
around the world and in many markets. Six major
markets plastics making machinery, power generating
turbines, metal forming, heavy industry, material test and
simulation generate over half of our total sales in
this segment. For the plastics making machinery market, we
design, manufacture and integrate systems for all axes of
injection and blow molding machines using leading edge
technology, both hydraulic and electric. In the power generation
turbine market, we design, manufacture and integrate complete
control assemblies for fuel, steam and variable geometry control
applications that include wind turbines. Metal forming markets
use our designed and manufactured systems that provide precise
control of position, velocity, force, pressure, acceleration and
other critical parameters. Heavy industry uses our high
precision electrical and hydraulic servovalves for steel and
aluminum mill equipment. For the material test markets, we
supply controls for automotive testing, structural testing and
fatigue testing. Our hydraulic and electromechanical motion
simulation bases are used for the flight simulation and training
markets. Other markets include material handling and testing,
auto racing, carpet tufting, paper mills and lumber mills.
Our Components Segment ($156.2 million, or 15%, of 2005
Sales)
Many of the same markets, including military and commercial
aerospace, defense controls and industrial applications, that
drive sales in our other segments affect Components. In
addition, Components serves two medical equipment markets.
This segments three largest product categories, slip
rings, fiber optic rotary joints and motors, serve broad
markets. Slip rings and fiber optic rotary joints use sliding
contacts and optical technology to allow unimpeded rotation
while delivering power and data across a rotating interface.
They come in a range of sizes that allow them to be used in many
applications that include diagnostic imaging, particularly CT
scan medical equipment featuring high-speed data communications,
de-icing and data transfer for rotorcraft, forward-looking
infrared camera installations, radar pedestals, material
handling, surveillance cameras, packaging and robotics. Our
motors are used in equally broad-based markets, many of which
are the same as for slip rings. For the medical pump and blower
market, and particularly sleep apnea equipment, Components
designs and manufactures a series of miniature brushless motors
that provide extremely low noise and reliable long life
operation. Industrial markets use our motors for material
handling, fuel cells and electric pumps. Military applications
use our motors for gimbals, missiles and radar pedestals.
Components has several other product lines including
electromechanical actuators for military, aerospace and
commercial applications, fiber optic modems that provide
electrical-to-optical
conversion of communication and data signals, avionic
instrumentation, optical switches and resolvers.
2
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high
degree of risk. Before you invest in our Class A common
stock, you should understand and carefully consider the risks
described below and the risk factors relating to our industry
and business described in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended September 24, 2005, as well as all of the other
information contained in this prospectus, the applicable
prospectus supplement and the information incorporated by
reference, including our financial statements and the related
notes. Any of these risks could materially adversely affect our
business, financial condition, results of operations and the
trading price of our Class A common stock, and you may lose
all or part of your investment.
The voting rights of the Class A common stock are
limited.
The voting rights of the holders of Class A common stock
are limited by our certificate of incorporation. Holders of
Class A common stock are entitled to elect at least 25% of
the board of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number,
so long as the outstanding shares of Class A common stock
are at least 10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares
of Class A common stock and Class B common stock
combined. Currently, the holders of Class A common stock
are entitled, as a class, to elect three directors. The holders
of the Class B common stock are entitled, as a class, to
elect the remaining eight directors. On all other matters except
as is required by law, the Class A and Class B common
stock vote together as a single class with each share of
Class A common stock entitled to a one-tenth vote per share
and each share of Class B common stock entitled to one vote
per share.
Our officers and directors and shareholders affiliated with
them control the vote of a significant percentage of our voting
stock and as a result exert influence over us, and may have
interests that conflict with those of other shareholders,
including purchasers of Class A common stock.
As of February 3, 2006, approximately 73.9% of the
Class B common stock and approximately 6.6% of the
Class A common stock was held in the aggregate by the Moog
Inc. Savings and Stock Ownership Plan Trust, the Moog Inc.
Retirement Plan Trust, relatives of the late Jane B. Moog
subject to The Moog Family Agreement as to Voting and our
officers and directors. These shareholders as a group possess
the voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors
and to effectively control our business policies and affairs,
and may have interests that conflict with those of other
shareholders, including purchasers of our Class A common
stock.
New York law and our certificate of incorporation and by-laws
contain provisions that could delay and discourage takeover
attempts that shareholders may consider favorable.
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and
by-laws and applicable provisions of New York corporate law may
make it more difficult for or prevent a third party from
acquiring control of us or changing our board of directors and
management. These provisions include:
|
|
|
|
|
the limited voting rights of the Class A common stock and
the fact that approximately 6.6% of the Class A and
approximately 73.9% of the Class B common stock,
representing approximately 45.4% of the voting power of our
outstanding common stock, is owned or controlled by our
affiliates; |
|
|
|
our ability under our certificate of incorporation to issue
additional shares of Class B common stock and shares of
blank check preferred stock without action of the
shareholders; |
|
|
|
provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws which
create a staggered board of directors with each director elected
for a three-year term; and |
|
|
|
provisions of New York corporate law which impose limitations on
persons proposing to acquire us in a transaction not approved by
our board of directors. |
3
Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or
changes in our board of directors or management could deter
potential acquirors or prevent the completion of a transaction
in which our stockholders could receive a substantial premium
over the then-current market price for their shares.
Possible volatility in the price of our common stock could
negatively affect us and our shareholders.
The trading price of our Class A common stock may be
volatile in response to a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including actual or anticipated variations
in quarterly financial results, changes in financial estimates
by securities analysts and announcements by our competitors of
significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures
or capital commitments. In addition, our financial results may
be below the expectations of securities analysts and investors.
If this were to occur, the market price of our Class A
common stock could decrease, perhaps significantly.
Additionally, our Class A common stock has historically had
low trading volumes. The limited liquidity for holders of our
Class A common stock may add to the volatility of the
trading price of our common stock. For example, from
September 30, 2003 to December 31, 2005, the sales
prices of our Class A common stock have ranged from
$17.42 per share to $33.76 per share. These effects
could materially adversely affect the trading market and prices
for our Class A common stock, as well as our ability to
issue additional securities or to secure additional financing in
the future.
In addition, the U.S. securities markets have experienced
significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations
often have been unrelated to the operating performance of
companies in these markets. Broad market and industry factors
may negatively affect the price of our Class A common
stock, regardless of our operating performance.
4
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, we expect
to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common
stock offered hereby for general corporate purposes, which may
include the repayment of our debt obligations, capital
expenditures, working capital and financing acquisitions.
Further details relating to the use of the net proceeds of any
of the Class A common stock will be set forth in the
applicable prospectus supplement.

The closing sale price of our Class A common stock on
February 10, 2006 as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange was $32.05 per share. As of February 3, 2006,
there were 1,195 record holders of our Class A common stock
and 548 record holders of our Class B common stock.
We intend to retain our earnings to finance the expansion of our
business and do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our
common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination
regarding cash dividends will be made by our board of directors
and will depend upon our earnings, financial condition, capital
requirements, any limitations in our financing agreements, and
other factors deemed relevant by the board. Payment of cash
dividends is permitted by our bank credit facility, with a
limitation on the aggregate amount of dividends that may be paid
to shareholders.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 50,000,000 shares
of Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share,
10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value
$1.00 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred
stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of February 3,
2006, we had outstanding 34,430,689 shares of Class A
common stock and 4,275,316 shares of Class B common
stock. As of February 3, 2006, we had 2,093,171 shares
of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of
outstanding stock options under our stock option plans at a
weighted average price of $17.84 per share,
548,543 shares of Class A common stock reserved and
available for future issuance under our stock option plans, and
4,275,316 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon
conversion of our 4,275,316 shares of Class B common
stock then outstanding. As of February 3, 2006, no shares
of preferred stock were outstanding. The following description
of our capital stock is a summary only and is derived from our
certificate of incorporation, which is incorporated by reference
into this prospectus.
Common Stock
The Class A common stock and Class B common stock
share equally in our earnings and are identical except with
respect to rights on voting, dividends and share distributions
and convertibility.
Voting Rights. The Class A common stock and
Class B common stock vote as a single class on all matters
except election of directors and except as required by law.
Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to elect at
least 25% of the board of directors, rounded up to the nearest
whole number, so long as the outstanding shares of Class A
common stock are at least 10% of the aggregate number of
outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B
common stock combined. The holders of Class B common stock
elect the remaining directors. Currently, the holders of
Class A common stock are entitled, as a class, to elect
three directors. The holders of the Class B common stock
are entitled, as a class, to elect our remaining eight
directors. On all other matters, the holders of Class A
common stock are entitled to one-tenth of a vote. Each share of
Class B common stock is entitled to one vote. If the
outstanding shares of Class A common stock become less than
10% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of both
classes combined, the holders of Class A common stock would
not have the right to elect 25% of the board of directors.
Directors would then be elected by all shareholders voting as a
single class, with holders of Class A common stock having a
one-tenth vote per share and holders of Class B common
stock having one vote per share.
Dividends and Share Distributions. Dividends may be paid
on Class A common stock without paying a dividend on
Class B common stock. No dividend may be paid on
Class B common stock unless at least an equal dividend is
paid on Class A common stock. Payment of dividends is
limited by our bank credit facility.
Share distributions in shares of Class A common stock or
Class B common stock may be paid only as follows. Shares of
Class A common stock are paid to holders of shares of
Class A common stock or, if there is no Class A common
stock outstanding, to holders of Class B common stock.
Shares of Class A common stock are paid to holders of
Class A common stock and shares of Class B common
stock are paid to holders of Class B common stock. The same
number of shares must be paid in respect of each outstanding
share of Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
We may not combine or subdivide shares of either class of common
stock without at the same time proportionally subdividing or
combing shares of the other class.
Conversion. Each share of Class B common stock is
convertible at the option of the holder at any time into
Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized, without shareholder
action, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more
series. The board has the discretion to determine the rights,
preferences and limitations of each series, including voting
rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption
privileges and liquidation
7
preferences. Satisfaction of any dividend preference of
outstanding shares of preferred stock would reduce the amount of
funds available for the payment of dividends on shares of common
stock. In some circumstances, the issuance of shares of
preferred stock may render more difficult or tend to discourage
a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, the assumption of
control by a holder of a large block of our securities or the
removal of incumbent management. We have no current intention to
issue any shares of preferred stock.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the Class A common stock being offered hereby
in one or more of the following ways from time to time:
|
|
|
|
|
to underwriters or dealers for resale to the public or to
institutional investors; |
|
|
|
directly to institutional investors; or |
|
|
|
through agents to the public or to institutional investors. |
The prospectus supplement will state the terms of the offering
of the Class A common stock, including:
|
|
|
|
|
the name or names of any underwriters or agents; |
|
|
|
the purchase price of the Class A common stock and the
proceeds to be received by us from the sale; |
|
|
|
any underwriting discounts or agency fees and other items
constituting underwriters or agents compensation; |
|
|
|
any initial public offering price; |
|
|
|
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
dealers; and |
|
|
|
the securities exchange on which the Class A common stock
may be listed. |
If we use underwriters in the sale, the Class A common
stock will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account
and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions,
including:
|
|
|
|
|
negotiated transactions; |
|
|
|
at a fixed public offering price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
at prices related to prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
at negotiated prices. |
The Class A common stock may also be offered and sold, if
so indicated in the prospectus supplement, in connection with a
remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with a redemption
or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or
more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own
accounts or as agents for us. The prospectus supplement will
identify any remarketing firm and will describe the terms of its
agreement, if any, with us and its compensation.
Unless otherwise stated in a prospectus supplement, the
obligations of the underwriters to purchase any Class A
common stock will be conditioned on customary closing conditions
and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of such
Class A common stock, if any are purchased.
Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing firms may be
entitled under agreements entered into with us to
indemnification by us against certain civil liabilties,
including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribution with respect to payments which the underwriters,
dealers, agents and remarketing firms may be required to make.
Underwriters, dealers, agents and remarketing agents may be
customers of,
8
engage in transactions with, or perform services in the ordinary
course of business for us and/or our affiliates.
The Class A common stock sold will be listed on the New
York Stock Exchange, upon official notice of issuance. Any
underwriter to whom the Class A common stock is sold by us
for public offering and sale may make a market in the
Class A common stock, but such underwriter will not be
obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any
time without notice. Any underwriter or agent involved in the
offer or sale of the Class A common stock will be named in
the applicable prospectus supplement.
In compliance with guidelines of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, or NASD, the maximum consideration or
discount to be received by any NASD member or independent broker
dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate amount of the
securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and any
applicable prospectus supplement.
LEGAL MATTERS
Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus, Hodgson Russ LLP,
Buffalo, New York will provide us with an opinion regarding the
validity of the Class A common stock offered hereby. John
Drenning, our Corporate Secretary, is a partner in Hodgson Russ
LLP. He and other attorneys in that firm beneficially own an
aggregate of approximately 9,483 shares of Class A
common stock.

Item 15. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
Sections 722 through 726 of the New York Business
Corporation Law, or BCL, grant New York corporations broad
powers to indemnify their present and former directors and
officers and those of affiliated corporations against expenses
(including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in
connection with threatened, pending or completed actions, suits
or proceedings to which they are parties or are threatened to be
made parties by reason of being or having been such directors or
officers, subject to specified conditions and exclusions; give a
director or officer who successfully defends an action the right
to be so indemnified; and permit a corporation to buy
directors and officers liability insurance. Such
indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled under any by-laws, agreement,
vote of shareholders or otherwise.
Section 402(b) of the BCL permits a New York corporation to
include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating the potential monetary liability of a director to
the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty
as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate
the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the
directors duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith
or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, (iii) for improper payment of dividends, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director receives
an improper personal benefit. Moogs Restated Certificate
of Incorporation includes the provisions permitted by
Section 402(b) of the BCL.
Moogs By-Laws provide that Moog shall indemnify such
directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines or
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any action, suit
or proceeding, or threat thereof, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law.

|
(1) |
To be filed by amendment or by incorporation by reference to an
exhibit filed under
Form 8-K.
|
(a) Moog hereby undertakes:
|
|
|
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement: |
|
|
|
(i) To include any prospectus required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
|
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated
maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and
price represent no more than 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 the
registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement; |
|
|
|
provided, however, that paragraphs (i),
(ii) and (iii) do not apply if the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to
the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or
is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement. |
|
|
|
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
|
|
(3) To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
II-2
|
|
|
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under
the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
|
|
|
(A) Each prospectus filed by a 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 |
|
|
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration
statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering
made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required
by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement
as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first
used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of
sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus.
As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the
issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such
date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the
registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which the 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. |
|
|
|
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of a
Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in
the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned
Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell
the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered
or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to
the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser: |
|
|
|
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the
undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
|
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used
or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; |
|
|
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus
relating to the offering containing material information about
the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and |
|
|
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the
offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each filing of the Registrants annual report
pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of any employee benefit plans annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the provisions referred
II-3
to in Item 15 hereof, 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 of 1933
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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes 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 (the
Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations
prescribed by the SEC under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
