PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT (TO PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 24, 2024) |
Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) Registration No. 333-276676 |
IVEDA SOLUTIONS, INC.
1,800,000 Shares of Common Stock
Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase up to 3,200,000 Shares of Common Stock
Up to 3,200,000 Shares of Common Stock Underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants
We are offering to a certain institutional investor pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus (i) 1,800,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at an offering price of $0.43 per share, and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,200,000 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $0.429 per pre-funded warrant, to the investor whose purchase of Common Stock in this offering would otherwise result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially own more than 4.99% (or at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering. Each of the pre-funded warrants will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The pre-funded warrants will have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants issued in this offering are exercised in full. We are also offering the common stock issuable from time to time upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants being offered by this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the pre-funded warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be limited.
In a concurrent private placement, we are issuing to such institutional investor unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and unregistered Series B warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which warrants will be exercisable on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the unregistered warrants (the "Stockholder Approval"), at an exercise price of $0.43 per share. The Series A warrants will expire five years following the Stockholder Approval and the Series B warrants will expire 18 months following the Stockholder Approval. The unregistered warrants and the unregistered common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and they are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "IVDA." On September 4, 2024, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $0.4517 per share. Our warrants are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "IVDAW."
The aggregate market value of our outstanding voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates as of September 4, 2024, based on the closing price of our Common Stock on Nasdaq on July 25, 2024 of $0.5056 per share, as calculated in accordance with General Instruction I.B.6. of Form S-3, and 15,206,177 shares held by non-affiliates was approximately $7.7 million. During the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on, and includes, the date of this prospectus supplement (excluding this offering), we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, in no event will we sell securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our "public float" (the market value of our common stock held by our non-affiliates) in any 12-calendar month period so long as our public float remains below $75 million.
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We have retained H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the offering. The placement agent has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to sell the securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, but the placement agent has no obligation to purchase or sell any of such securities or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of such securities. We have agreed to pay the placement agent fees set forth in the table below.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights certain information about us, this offering and selected information contained elsewhere in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. This summary provides an overview of selected information and does not contain all of the information you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our securities. Therefore, you should read the entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus carefully (including the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein), especially the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and page 6 of the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference and our consolidated financial statements (which we refer to as our "Financial Statements") and the related notes incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before deciding to invest in our securities. Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms "Iveda," "Iveda Solutions," "Company," "we," "us" and "our" in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus to refer to Iveda Solutions, Inc. and, where appropriate, our consolidated subsidiaries.
History
Iveda Solutions, Inc. ("Iveda", or the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada as Charmed Homes, Inc. in June 2006. On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight, d/b/a Iveda, a Washington corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2010, IntelaSight merged with and into the Company and the Company became the surviving company. Iveda offered the first cloud hosting of streaming and recorded video from security cameras for its customers and real-time remote surveillance service utilizing intervention specialists to watch our customers' cameras in real time, 24/7.
In April 2011, Iveda completed the acquisition of the Taiwan-based company Sole-Vision Technologies (doing business as Iveda Taiwan).
Historically, we sold and installed video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies and marketing. We also provided video hosting, in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services to a variety of businesses and organizations. While we only used off-the shelf camera systems from well-known camera brands, we now source our own cameras using manufacturers in Taiwan in order for us to be more flexible in fulfilling our customer needs. We now have the capability to provide IP cameras and NVRs based on customer specifications. We still utilize ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) cameras which is a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products.
In 2014, we changed our business model from direct project-based sales to licensing our platform and selling IoT hardware to service providers such as telecommunications companies, integrators, and other technology resellers already providing services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal customer base allows us to focus on servicing just a handful of our partners and concentrating on our technology offering. Service providers leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer service for Iveda's product offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams - one from hardware sales and the other from monthly licensing fees.
Iveda Taiwan, our subsidiary in Taiwan, specializes in deploying new, and integrating existing, video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City. Iveda Taiwan combines security surveillance products, software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Through Iveda Taiwan, we have access not only to Asian markets but also to Asian manufacturers and engineering expertise. Iveda Taiwan is our research and development arm, working with a team of developers in Taiwan. The company depends on Iveda Taiwan as the majority of the company's revenues have come from Iveda Taiwan since we acquired them in April 2011.

Overview
Iveda specializes in AI and digital transformation technologies with real-world applications that improve quality of life and safety worldwide.
Iveda, through its wholly-owned subsidiary IntelaSight, Inc., has been offering real-time IP video surveillance technologies to our customers since 2005, prior to its merger with the company. While we still offer video surveillance technologies, our core product line has evolved to include AI intelligent video search technology that provide true intelligence to any video surveillance system and IoT (Internet of Things) devices and platforms. Our evolution is in response to digital transformation demands from many cities and organizations worldwide. Our IvedaAI intelligent video search technology adds critical intelligence to normally passive video surveillance systems. IvedaAI provides AI functions to any IP camera and most popular network video recorders (NVR) and video management systems (VMS). IvedaAI comes with an appliance or server, preconfigured with multiple AI functions based on the end user requirements.
In the last few years, the concept of a smart city has been a hot topic among cities across the globe. With little to no human interaction, technology increases efficiency, expedites decision making, and reduces response time. Dwindling public safety budgets and resources have necessitated the transformation. More and more municipalities are using next-generation technologies to improve the safety and security of its citizens. Our response is our complete suite of IoT technologies, including AI intelligent video search technology, smart sensors, tracking devices, video surveillance systems, and smart power.
Reverse Stock Split
On September 5, 2024, we filed an amendment of our Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada to effect a reverse share split of the Common Stock at the ratio of 1-for-4, such that each four (4) shares of Common Stock, were consolidated into one (1) share of Common Stock. We anticipate the stock split will be effective on Nasdaq on or about September 12, 2024. Unless indicated otherwise by the context, all Common Stock, option, warrant and per share amounts, as well as share prices appearing in this prospectus have not been adjusted to give effect to the reverse split.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in Nevada in June 2006. Our principal executive offices are located at 1744 S Val Vista, Suite 213, Mesa Arizona, 85204, and our telephone number is (480) 307-8700. We have two website addresses: www.iveda.com and www.mega-sys.com..

Common Stock Offered by Us | 1,800,000 shares of common stock, at an offering price per share of $0.43 per share. | |
Pre-Funded Warrants Offered by Us | We are offering pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,200,000 shares of common stock to the investor whose purchase of common stock in this offering would otherwise result in the investor, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or at the election of the investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding common stock immediately following the consummation of this offering,. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant equals $0.429, the price per share at which shares of common stock are being sold to the purchasers in this offering minus $0.001, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the pre-funded warrant, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant equals $0.001 per share. Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable from the date of issuance, subject to an ownership limitation, and will expire when exercised in full. See "Description of Pre-Funded Warrants." This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such pre-funded warrants. | |

The Series A warrants will expire five years following the Stockholder Approval and the Series B warrants will expire 18 months following the Stockholder Approval. The unregistered warrants and the unregistered common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and they are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. |

We currently intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. See "Use of Proceeds" on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement for a more complete description of the intended use of proceeds from this offering. | ||
Shares of Common Stock to be Outstanding After This Offering | The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 16,269,891 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 4, 2024, excludes the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants offered by us in this offering and excludes as of that date: | ||

S-4 |
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors described below and the risk factors incorporated by reference to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and in our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our financial statements and the related notes, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and in any free writing prospectus that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering before acquiring any of our securities. These risks could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects, which may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to this Offering
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our business, financial condition or results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. You may not agree with our decisions, and our use of the proceeds may not yield any return on your investment. We intend to use the proceeds from this offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including research, development and manufacturing of our product candidates.
Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. Our failure to apply the net proceeds of this offering effectively could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy and we might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on our investment of these net proceeds. You will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use the net proceeds from this offering. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could result in financial losses that could harm our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline and delay the development of our product candidates. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
Since the price per share of our common stock being offered will be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock, you will incur substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common stock you purchase in this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was $4.24 million, or $0.26 per share. As a result, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will incur an immediate dilution of $0.08 in net tangible book value per share from the price you paid. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see the section of this prospectus supplement titled "Dilution."
The offering price per pre-funded warrant share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,200,000 shares of our common stock are sold at a price of $0.429 per pre-funded warrant share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $1.37 million, and after deducting the placement agent's fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, you would experience immediate dilution of $0.08 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024 after giving effect to this offering, on the one hand, and the offering price, on the other. The exercise of outstanding stock options will result in further dilution of your investment. See the section titled "Dilution" below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.
S-5 |
There is no public market for the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering.
There is no public trading market for the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market or any other national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be limited.
We may not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants.
Each pre-funded warrant will be exercisable from the date of issuance and may be exercised by means of a cashless exercise, meaning that the holder would not pay a cash purchase price upon exercise, but instead would receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of our common stock determined according to the formula set forth in the pre-funded warrant. Accordingly, if the holder elects to exercise the pre-funded warrants on a cashless basis, we will not receive any additional funds upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants.
Holders of the pre-funded warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders exercise their pre-funded warrants and acquire our common stock.
Until holders of the pre-funded warrants exercise their pre-funded warrants and acquire shares of our common stock, such holders will have no rights with respect to the shares of our common stock underlying such pre-funded warrants. Upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
Significant holders or beneficial holders of our common stock may not be permitted to exercise the pre-funded warrants that they hold.
A holder of the pre-funded warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed, at the holder's election, either 4.99% or 9.99%, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed, at the holder's election, either 4.99% or 9.99%, of the combined voting power of all of our securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants and subject to such holder's rights under the pre-funded warrants to increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days' prior notice from such holder to us. As a result, you may not be able to exercise your pre-funded warrants for shares of our common stock at a time when it would be financially beneficial for you to do so or prior to the expiration of the pre-funded warrants. In such a circumstance, you could seek to sell your pre-funded warrants to realize value, but you may be unable to do so in the absence of an established trading market.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants in this offering and the sale of the unregistered warrants in the concurrent private placement of approximately $1.85 million, after deducting the placement agent's fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We will receive nominal, if any, additional proceeds from the exercise of the pre-funded warrants and we assume no exercise of any unregistered warrants to be issued to the investor in the private placement concurrently with this offering. We do not know when the unregistered warrants that are issued to the investor in a private placement concurrently with this offering will be exercised, or exercised, at all. We currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.
DILUTION
Dilution is the amount by which the price paid by the purchasers of the shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants sold in the offering exceeds the net tangible book value per share of common stock after the offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.
Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 was $4.24 million, or $0.26 per share.
After giving effect to the sale of 1,800,000 shares of common stock at the offering price of $0.43 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,200,000 shares of common stock in this offering at the offering price of $0.429 per pre-funded warrant (which equals the offering price per share minus the $0.001 per share, the exercise price of each such pre-funded warrant) and excluding shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants or any resulting accounting associated with the pre-funded warrants, and after deducting the placement agent's fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2024 would have been $6.1 million, or $0.34 per share. This represents an immediate increase in as adjusted net tangible book value of $0.08 per share to our existing stockholders and immediate dilution of $0.09 per share to new investors purchasing common stock and pre-funded warrants in this offering.
S-8 |
The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis to new investors:
Offering price per share | 0.43 | |||||||
Historical net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2024 | $ | 0.26 | ||||||
Increase per share attributable to new investors | 0.08 | |||||||
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering | 0.34 | |||||||
Dilution in adjusted net tangible book value per share to new investors | $ | 0.09 |
If holders of the pre-funded warrants offered in this offering exercise in full the pre-funded warrants, the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering would be $0.29 per share, representing an immediate increase to existing stockholders of $0.03 per share, and immediate dilution to new investors in this offering of $0.14 per share.
The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 16,269,891 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2024, excludes the shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants offered by us in this offering and excludes as of that date:
● | 1,175,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $3.81 per share; | |
● | 4,771,574 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants with a weighted-average exercise price of $2.84 per share; | |
● | 243,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under our Iveda Solutions, Inc. 2020 Plan; | |
● | 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A and Series B Warrants to be issued to the investor in a private placement concurrently with this offering, at an exercise price of $0.43; | |
● | 3,200,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the pre-funded warrants to be issued to the investor in this offering with an exercise price of $0. 001 per share; and | |
● | 375,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the placement agent warrants issued as compensation to our placement agent or its designees with an exercise price of $0.5375 per share. |
To the extent that outstanding stock options, warrants or pre-funded warrants are exercised, new options are issued under our equity incentive plans, or we issue additional shares of common stock in the future, there will be further dilution to investors participating in this offering.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING
Common Stock
The material terms and provisions of our shares of Common Stock are described under the heading "Description of Common Stock" in the accompanying prospectus.
S-9 |
Pre-Funded Warrants
The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants being offered in this offering. The following description is subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the pre-funded warrants and qualified in its entirety by the form of pre-funded warrants, which has been provided to the investor in this offering and which will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with this offering. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the pre-funded warrants.
Duration and Exercise Price
The pre-funded warrants offered hereby will have an exercise price of $0.001 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time after their original issuance until such pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The exercise prices and numbers of common stock issuable upon exercise are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common stock. Pre-funded warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
Exercisability
The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at any time between their original issuance and their expiration. The pre-funded warrants may be exercised, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a pre-funded warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the last closing trading price of our common stock on the exercise date.
Cashless Exercise
In lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of shares of our common stock determined according to a formula set forth in the pre-funded warrant.
Exercise Limitations
We may not effect the exercise of any pre-funded warrant, and a holder will not be entitled to exercise any portion of any pre-funded warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause: (i) the aggregate number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed, at the holder's election, either 4.99% or 9.99%, of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise; or (ii) the combined voting power of our securities beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed, at the holder's election, either 4.99% or 9.99%, of the combined voting power of all of our securities outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the pre-funded warrants. However, any holder of a pre-funded warrant may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% upon at least 61 days' prior written notice from the holder to us.
S-10 |
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, the pre-funded warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.
Trading Market
There is no established trading market for any of the pre-funded warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for a listing for any of the warrants on any securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the pre-funded warrants will be limited.
No Rights as a Stockholder
Except by virtue of such holder's ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a pre-funded warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises the pre-funded warrant.
Private Placement Warrants
In a concurrent private placement, we are issuing to the same investor unregistered Series A warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock and unregistered Series B warrants to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which warrants will be exercisable on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares upon exercise of the unregistered warrants (the "Stockholder Approval"), at an exercise price of $0.43 per share. The unregistered warrants and the unregistered common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder.
The Series A warrants will expire five years following the Stockholder Approval and the Series B warrants will expire 18 months following the Stockholder Approval.
The Company is required to hold an annual or special meeting of its stockholders on or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the closing of the offering for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval, with the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors that such proposals are approved. The Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders and all of the Company's management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of the issuance of such shares. If the Company does not obtain Stockholder Approval at the first meeting, the Company shall call a meeting every ninety (90) days thereafter to seek Stockholder Approval until the earlier of the date on which Stockholder Approval is obtained or the Common Warrants are no longer outstanding.
These warrants also contain a beneficial ownership limitation which provides that we shall not effect any exercise, and a holder shall not have the right to exercise, any portion of a warrant to the extent that, after giving effect to the exercise, such holder (together with such holder's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon the exercise. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by a holder in its sole discretion upon not less than sixty-one (61) days' prior notice to us.
The holder of the warrant may exercise its warrant by delivering an appropriately competed and signed exercise notice in the form attached to the warrant. Payment of the exercise price for the number of shares for which a warrant is being exercised is required to be delivered within two trading days after exercise of such warrant. A holder of a warrant will also have the right to exercise such warrant on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of, the shares issuable upon exercise of such warrant. Upon the holder's exercise of a warrant, we will issue the common stock issuable upon such exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two trading days after the delivery of the exercise notice to us and (ii) one trading day after the delivery of the aggregate exercise price to us, if not exercised on a cashless basis.
S-11 |
If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the warrant following such fundamental transaction. If a fundamental transaction occurs, then the successor entity will succeed to, and be substituted for us, and may exercise every right and power that we may exercise and will assume all of our obligations under the warrants with the same effect as if such successor entity had been named in the warrant itself. If holders of our common stock are given a choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a fundamental transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the consideration it receives upon any exercise of the warrant following such fundamental transaction. In certain circumstances, the holder will have the right to receive the Black Scholes Value of the warrant calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the warrants, payable either in cash or in the same type or form of consideration that is being offered and being paid to the holders of our common stock as described in the warrants.
We have entered into a purchase agreement directly with the investor in connection with this offering. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, we are required to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the shares issued and issuable upon the exercise of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants as soon as practicable, and to have such registration statement declared and maintained effective.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Pursuant to an engagement agreement dated August 28, 2024, as amended (the "Engagement Agreement"), we have retained H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, or the placement agent, to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Under the terms of the Engagement Agreement, the placement agent has agreed to be our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of our securities in this offering. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the placement agent and prospective investors. The Engagement Agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the placement agent to purchase any of our securities, and the placement agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement agreement. Further, the placement agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering and is not purchasing or selling any securities, nor is required to arrange for the purchase and sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities other than the use its reasonable "best efforts" to arrange for the sale of securities by us. Therefore, we may not sell the entire amount of securities being offered. The placement agent may engage one or more sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with the offering.
We have entered into a purchase agreement directly with an investor in connection with this offering, and we will only sell our securities offered hereby to the investor who has entered into the purchase agreement.
We expect to deliver the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus on or about September 6, 2024, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.
We will pay the placement agent a cash fee equal to 7.5% and a management fee of 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering and the concurrent private placement. We have also agreed to pay the placement agent non-accountable expenses in the amount of $60,000 and clearing fees of $15,950. We estimate our total expenses associated with the offering, excluding placement agent fees and expenses, will be approximately $80,000.
S-12 |
After deducting those fees and expenses due to the placement agent and our other estimated offering expenses, we expect the net proceeds from this offering and the sale of the unregistered warrants in the concurrent private placement to be approximately $1.85 million.
In addition, we have agreed to issue to the placement agent as compensation warrants to purchase up to 375,000 shares of common stock (equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants sold in this offering). The placement agent warrants and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the placement agent warrants are being registered hereby.
The placement agent warrants will have substantially the same terms as the Series A common warrants issued to the investors in the offering, except that the placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $0.5375 per share, which represents 125% of the offering price per share, and will expire five years following to the commencement of the sales pursuant to this offering.
In addition, upon any exercise for cash of any short term warrants issued in the concurrent private placement, we have agreed to pay the placement agent within five (5) business days of the receipt by us of the exercise price a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate gross exercise price paid in cash with respect thereto and to issue to the placement agent, or its designees, within five (5) business days of our receipt of the exercise price, additional placement agent warrants to purchase that number of shares of our equal to 7.5% of the aggregate number of such shares of common stock underlying such warrants that have been so exercised and such placement agent warrants shall be in the same form and terms as the placement agent warrants first described above.
Tail Financing Payments
We have agreed that the placement agent shall be entitled to compensation with respect to any public or private offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind to the extent that such financing or capital is provided to us by certain investors the placement agent had contacted during the term of its engagement if such financing is consummated at any time within the twelve-month period following the expiration of the Engagement Agreement.
Right of First Refusal
In addition, we have granted a right of first refusal to the placement agent pursuant to which it has the right to act as the exclusive manager or underwriter or agent, as applicable, if we or our subsidiaries finance any indebtedness using an agent, or raise capital through a public or private offering of equity, equity-linked or debt securities at any time prior to the 9-month anniversary of the consummation date of this offering.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent and specified other persons against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and to contribute to payments that the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
Other Relationships
From time to time, the placement agent has provided and may provide in the future, various advisory, investment and commercial banking and other services to us in the ordinary course of business, for which it may receive customary fees and commissions, however, except as disclosed in this prospectus supplement, we have no present arrangements with the placement agent for any services.
Regulation M
The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it, and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal, might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the placement agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common stock and warrants by the placement agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent:
● | may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and | |
● | may not bid for or purchase any of our securities, or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution in the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. |

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
We are making this statement pursuant to the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements described in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief, or current expectations of our business and industry. We make statements in this prospectus, including statements that are incorporated by reference, that are forward-looking. When used in this prospectus or in any other presentation, statements which are not historical in nature, including the words "anticipate," "estimate," "could," "should," "may," "plan," "seek," "expect," "believe," "intend," "target," "project" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. They also include statements regarding:
● | our future growth and profitability; | |
● | our competitive strengths; and | |
● | our business strategy and the trends we anticipate in the industries and economies in which we operate. |
These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include:
● | economic downturns, reduced capital expenditures, consolidation and technological and regulatory changes in our industry; | |
● | the highly competitive nature of our industry; | |
● | our ability to attract and retain qualified managers and skilled employees; | |
● | the outcome of our plans for future operations and growth; and | |
● | the other factors referenced in this prospectus, including, without limitation, under "Risk Factors." |
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Furthermore, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if any of our underlying assumptions are incorrect, our actual results may differ significantly from the results that we express in or imply by any of our forward-looking statements. These and other risks are detailed in this prospectus, in any supplements to this prospectus, in the documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus and in other documents that we file with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements after the date of this prospectus to reflect future events or circumstances. We qualify any and all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary factors.

Iveda Solutions, Inc. ("Iveda", or the "Company") was incorporated in Nevada as Charmed Homes, Inc. in June 2006. On October 15, 2009, IntelaSight, d/b/a Iveda, a Washington corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2010, IntelaSight merged with and into the Company and the Company became the surviving company. Iveda offered the first cloud hosting of streaming and recorded video from security cameras for its customers and real-time remote surveillance service utilizing intervention specialists to watch our customers' cameras in real time, 24/7.
In April 2011, Iveda completed the acquisition of the Taiwan-based company Sole-Vision Technologies (doing business as Iveda Taiwan).
Historically, we sold and installed video surveillance equipment, primarily for security purposes and secondarily for operational efficiencies and marketing. We also provided video hosting, in-vehicle streaming video, archiving, and real-time remote surveillance services to a variety of businesses and organizations. While we only used off-the shelf camera systems from well-known camera brands, we now source our own cameras using manufacturers in Taiwan in order for us to be more flexible in fulfilling our customer needs. We now have the capability to provide IP cameras and NVRs based on customer specifications. We still utilize ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) cameras which is a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products.
In 2014, we changed our business model from direct project-based sales to licensing our platform and selling IoT hardware to service providers such as telecommunications companies, integrators and other technology resellers already providing services to an existing customer base. Partnering with service providers that have an existing loyal customer base allows us to focus on servicing just a handful of our partners and concentrating on our technology offering. Service providers leverage their end-user infrastructure to sell, bill, and provide customer service for Iveda's product offering. This business model provides dual revenue streams - one from hardware sales and the other from monthly licensing fees.
Iveda Taiwan, our subsidiary in Taiwan, specializes in deploying new, and integrating existing, video surveillance systems for airports, commercial buildings, government customers, data centers, shopping centers, hotels, banks, and Safe City. Iveda Taiwan combines security surveillance products, software, and services to provide integrated security solutions to the end user. Through Iveda Taiwan, we have access not only to Asian markets but also to Asian manufacturers and engineering expertise. Iveda Taiwan is our research and development arm, working with a team of developers in Taiwan. The company depends on Iveda Taiwan as the majority of the company's revenues have come from Iveda Taiwan since we acquired them in April 2011.
Overview

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, we expect to use the net proceeds of the sale of these securities for general corporate purposes, which may include research and development of pharmaceutical candidates, collaborative arrangements with other companies, repayment of existing indebtedness, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, joint ventures and stock repurchase programs. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not identified as probable any specific material proposed uses of these proceeds. If, as of the date of any prospectus supplement, we have identified any such uses, then we will describe them in the prospectus supplement. The amount of securities offered from time to time pursuant to this prospectus and any prospectus supplement, and the precise amounts and timing of the application of net proceeds from the sale of those securities, will depend upon our funding requirements. If we elect at the time of an issuance of securities to make different or more specific use of proceeds than described in this prospectus, such use will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to those securities.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell securities to one or more underwriters or dealers for public offering and sale by them, or we may sell the securities to investors directly or through one or more agents or broker dealers, including those engaged solely as agents to facilitate the direct sale of securities to particular investors. We may also sell the securities offered through this prospectus through agents, including ordinary brokerage transactions, block trades, placements, "at the market" transactions, put or call transactions or in any other way not involving market makers or established markets, or through any of these methods. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering and the method of distribution and will identify any firms acting as underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, including:
● | the name or names of any underwriters; | |
● | the purchase price of the securities; | |
● | any underwriting discounts and other items constituting underwriters' compensation; | |
● | any public offering price and the net proceeds we will receive from such sale; | |
● | any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers; and | |
● | any securities exchange or market on which the securities offered in the prospectus supplement may be listed. |
We may engage in at the market offering into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4). Any at the market offering will be through an underwriter or underwriter acting as principal agent for us.
We may distribute our securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at prices determined as the prospectus supplement specifies, including at negotiated prices and in "at-the-market" offerings. We may sell our securities through a rights offering, forward contracts or similar arrangements.
6 |
Any underwriting discounts or other compensation which we pay to underwriters or agents in connection with the offering of our securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions which underwriters allow to dealers, will be set forth in the prospectus supplement. Underwriters may sell our securities from time to time to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of our securities may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on the resale of our securities they realize may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Any such underwriter or agent will be identified, and any such compensation received from us, will be described in the applicable supplement to this prospectus. Unless otherwise set forth in the supplement to this prospectus relating thereto, the obligations of the underwriters or agents to purchase our securities will be subject to conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all our offered securities if any are purchased. The public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
Any common stock sold pursuant to this prospectus and applicable prospectus supplement, will be eligible for trading on the NASDAQ or such other stock exchange that our securities are trading upon at that time.
Underwriters and their controlling persons, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The securities being offered under this prospectus, other than our common stock, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market and unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. It has not presently been established whether the underwriters, if any, as identified in a prospectus supplement, will make a market in the securities. If the underwriters make a market in the securities, the market making may be discontinued at any time without notice. We cannot provide any assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the securities.
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the offered securities will be subject to certain conditions contained in an underwriting agreement that we will enter into with the underwriters at the time of the sale to them. The underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities of the series offered if any of the securities are purchased, unless the applicable prospectus supplement says otherwise. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed, reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.
In connection with any offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. Any underwriter may engage in short sales, over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions permit bidders to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. The underwriters may engage in these activities on any exchange or other market in which the securities may be traded. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time.
We may also sell securities from time to time pursuant to an "equity line of credit". In such event, we will enter into a common stock purchase agreement with the purchaser to be named therein, which will be described in a Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC. In that Form 8-K, we will describe the total amount of securities that we may require the purchaser to purchase under the purchase agreement and the other terms of purchase, and any rights that the purchaser is granted to purchase securities from us. In addition to our issuance of shares of common stock to the equity line purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreement, this prospectus (and the applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment) also covers the resale of those shares from time to time by the equity line purchaser to the public. The equity line purchaser will be considered an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Its resales may be effected through a number of methods, including without limitation, ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers and block trades in which the broker or 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. The equity line purchaser will be bound by various anti-manipulation rules of the SEC and may not, for example, engage in any stabilization activity in connection with its resales of our securities and may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

The indenture permits a consolidation or merger between us and another entity and/or the sale, conveyance or lease by us of all or substantially all of our property and assets, provided that:
● | the resulting or acquiring entity, if other than us, is organized and existing under the laws of a United States jurisdiction and assumes all of our responsibilities and liabilities under the indenture, including the payment of all amounts due on the debt securities and performance of the covenants in the indenture; | |
● | immediately after the transaction, and giving effect to the transaction, no event of default under the indenture exists; and | |
● | we have delivered to the trustee an officers' certificate stating that the transaction and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with the transaction, the supplemental indenture comply with the indenture and that all conditions precedent to the transaction contained in the indenture have been satisfied. |
If we consolidate or merge with or into any other entity, or sell or lease all or substantially all of our assets in compliance with the terms and conditions of the indenture, the resulting or acquiring entity will be substituted for us in the indenture and the debt securities with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the indenture and the debt securities. As a result, such successor entity may exercise our rights and powers under the indenture and the debt securities, in our name and, except in the case of a lease, we will be released from all our liabilities and obligations under the indenture and under the debt securities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may transfer all of our property and assets to another entity if, immediately after giving effect to the transfer, such entity is our wholly owned subsidiary. The term "wholly owned subsidiary" means any subsidiary in which we and/or our other wholly owned subsidiaries, if any, own all of the outstanding capital stock.
Modification and Waiver
Under the indenture, some of our rights and obligations and some of the rights of the holders of the debt securities may be modified or amended with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities affected by the modification or amendment. However, the following modifications and amendments will not be effective against any holder without its consent:
● | a change in the stated maturity date of any payment of principal or interest; | |
● | a reduction in the principal amount of or interest on any debt securities; | |
● | an alteration or impairment of any right to convert at the rate or upon the terms provided in the indenture; | |
● | a change in the currency in which any payment on the debt securities is payable; | |
● | an impairment of a holder's right to sue us for the enforcement of payments due on the debt securities; or | |
● | a reduction in the percentage of outstanding debt securities required to consent to a modification or amendment of the indenture or required to consent to a waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults under the indenture. |
12 |
Under the indenture, the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may, on behalf of all holders of the debt securities:
● | waive compliance by us with certain restrictive provisions of the indenture; and | |
● | waive any past default under the indenture in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any series of debt securities. |
Events of Default
Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, "event of default" under the indenture will mean, with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:
● | failure to pay interest on any debt security for 30 days after the payment is due; | |
● | failure to pay the principal of any debt security when due, either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; | |
● | failure on our part to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement in the indenture that applies to the debt securities for 90 days after we have received written notice of the failure to perform in the manner specified in the indenture; and | |
● | certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization. |
Remedies Upon an Event of Default
If an event of default occurs and continues, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the entire principal of all the debt securities to be due and payable immediately, except that, if the event of default is caused by certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the entire principal of all of the debt securities of such series will become due and payable immediately without any act on the part of the trustee or holders of the debt securities. If such a declaration occurs, the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series can, subject to conditions, rescind the declaration.
The indenture requires us to furnish to the trustee not less often than annually, a certificate from our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer, as the case may be, as to such officer's knowledge of our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any default, except defaults in the payment of principal of or interest on any debt securities if the trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of notice is in the best interests of the holders. For purposes of this paragraph, "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default under the indenture.
The trustee is not obligated to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request, order or direction of any holders of debt securities, unless the holders offer the trustee satisfactory security or indemnity. If satisfactory security or indemnity is provided, then, subject to other rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities may direct the time, method and place of:
● | conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee; or | |
● | exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee. |
The holder of a debt security will have the right to begin any proceeding with respect to the indenture or for any remedy only if:
● | the holder has previously given the trustee written notice of a continuing event of default; | |
● | the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities have made a written request of, and offered reasonable indemnity to, the trustee to begin such proceeding; | |
● | the trustee has not started such proceeding within 60 days after receiving the request; and | |
● | no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the trustee under the indenture. |
However, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute right to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt security when due and to institute suit to enforce this payment.
13 |
Satisfaction and Discharge; Defeasance
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, if at any time:
● | we have paid the principal of and interest on all the debt securities of any series, except for debt securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid in accordance with the indenture, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, or | |
● | we have delivered to the trustee for cancellation all debt securities of any series theretofore authenticated, except for debt securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in the indenture, or | |
● | all the debt securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable, or are by their terms are to become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year, and we have deposited with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums due on the debt securities, on the dates the payments are due or become due under the indenture and the terms of the debt securities, then the indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the debt securities of such series, except for: | |
● | rights of registration of transfer and exchange, and our right of optional redemption; | |
● | substitution of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities; | |
● | rights of holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original stated due dates therefor (but not upon acceleration) and remaining rights of the holders to receive mandatory sinking fund payments, if any; | |
● | the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee under the indenture; and | |
● | the rights of the holders of such series of debt securities as beneficiaries thereof with respect to the property so deposited with the trustee payable to all or any of them. |
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any debt securities of any series either:
● | to defease and be discharged from all of our obligations with respect to such debt securities ("defeasance"), with certain exceptions described below; or | |
● | to be released from our obligations with respect to such debt securities under such covenants as may be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, and any omission to comply with those obligations will not constitute a default or an event of default with respect to such debt securities ("covenant defeasance"). |
We must comply with the following conditions before the defeasance or covenant defeasance can be effected:
● | we must irrevocably deposit with the indenture trustee or other qualifying trustee, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the trustee, trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the holders of such debt securities, sufficient money or government obligations, or a combination thereof, to pay the principal, any interest and any other sums on the due dates for those payments; and | |
● | we must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of such debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, to be effected with respect to such debt securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, had not occurred. |
In connection with defeasance, any irrevocable trust agreement contemplated by the indenture must include, among other things, provision for:
● | payment of the principal of and interest on such debt securities, if any, appertaining thereto when due (by redemption, sinking fund payments or otherwise), | |
● | the payment of the expenses of the trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust provisions, | |
● | rights of registration, transfer, substitution and exchange of such debt securities in accordance with the terms stated in the indenture, and | |
● | continuation of the rights, obligations and immunities of the trustee as against the holders of such debt securities as stated in the indenture. |
The accompanying prospectus supplement may further describe any provisions permitting or restricting defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of a particular series.
14 |
Global Securities
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each debt security offered by this prospectus will be issued in the form of one or more global debt securities representing all or part of that series of debt securities. This means that we will not issue certificates for that series of debt securities to the holders. Instead, a global debt security representing that series will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a securities depositary and registered in the name of the depositary or a nominee of the depositary. Any such depositary must be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. We will describe the specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities to be represented by a global security in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Notices
We will give notices to holders of the debt securities by mail at the addresses listed in the security register. In the case of notice in respect of unregistered securities or coupon securities, we may give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in New York, New York.
Governing Law
The particular terms of a series of debt securities will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities. Any indentures will be subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and may be supplemented or amended from time to time following their execution. Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be limited in the amount of debt securities that we may issue, and neither the senior debt securities nor the subordinated debt securities will be secured by any of our property or assets. Thus, by owning debt securities, you are one of our unsecured creditors.
Regarding the Trustee
From time to time, we may maintain deposit accounts and conduct other banking transactions with the trustee to be appointed under the indenture or its affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may offer to sell warrants from time to time. If we do so, we will describe the specific terms of the warrants in a prospectus supplement. In particular, we may issue warrants for the purchase of common stock, preferred stock and/or debt securities in one or more series. We may also issue warrants independently or together with other securities and the warrants may be attached to or separate from those securities.
We will evidence each series of warrants by warrant certificates that we will issue under a separate agreement. We will enter into the warrant agreement with a warrant agent. We will indicate the name and address of the warrant agent in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to a particular series of warrants.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of warrants, including:
● | the offering price and aggregate number of warrants offered; | |
● | the currency for which the warrants may be purchased; | |
● | if applicable, the designation and terms of the securities with which the warrants are issued and the number of warrants issued with each such security or each principal amount of such security; | |
● | if applicable, the date on and after which the warrants and the related securities will be separately transferable; | |
● | in the case of warrants to purchase debt securities, the principal amount of debt securities purchasable upon exercise of one warrant and the price at, and currency in which, this principal amount of debt securities may be purchased upon such exercise; | |
● | in the case of warrants to purchase common stock or preferred stock, the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, purchasable upon the exercise of one warrant and the price at which these shares may be purchased upon such exercise; | |
● | the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants; | |
● | the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; | |
● | any provisions for changes to or adjustments in the exercise price or number of securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; | |
● | the dates on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and expire; | |
● | the manner in which the warrant agreement and warrants may be modified; | |
● | certain United States federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; | |
● | the terms of the securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants; and | |
● | any other specific material terms, preferences, rights or limitations of or restrictions on the warrants. |
Holders may exercise the warrants by delivering the warrant certificate representing the warrants to be exercised together with other requested information, and paying the required amount to the warrant agent in immediately available funds, as provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the information that the holder of the warrant will be required to deliver to the warrant agent.
Upon receipt of the required payment and the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed at the office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue and deliver the securities purchasable upon such exercise. If a holder exercises fewer than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, then we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining amount of warrants.
Holder will not have any of the rights of the holders of the securities purchasable upon the exercise of warrants until you exercise them. Accordingly, holder will not be entitled to, among other things, vote or receive dividend payments or similar distributions on the securities you can purchase upon exercise of the warrants.
The information provided above is only a summary of the terms under which we may offer warrants for sale. Accordingly, investors must carefully review the applicable warrant agreement for more information about the specific terms and conditions of these warrants before investing in us. In addition, please carefully review the information provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, which contains additional information that is important for you to consider in evaluating an investment in our securities.
