PART II

 

Information Required in the Registration Statement

 

Item 3.  Incorporation of documents by reference

 

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Commission:

 

a.		The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 filed with the Commission on August 22, 2014 pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”);
b.		All other reports filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant’s Annual Report referred to in (a) above; and
c.		The description of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001, contained in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-36348) filed with the Commission on March 12, 2014 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”), including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of updating such description.

 

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Under no circumstances will any information furnished under current items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of directors and officers

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation’s board of directors to grant, and authorizes a court to award, indemnity to officers, directors and other corporate agents. As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, no director will be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Pursuant to Delaware law such protection would be not available for liability:

 

·                  for any breach of a duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders;

·                  for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

·                  for any transaction from which the director derived an improper benefit; or

·                  for an act or omission for which the liability of a director is expressly provided by an applicable statute, including unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation also provides that if Delaware law is amended after the approval by the Registrant’s stockholders of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the Registrant’s directors will be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

 

The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws further provide that the Registrant must indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws also authorize the Registrant to indemnify any of its employees or agents and authorize the Registrant to secure insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent for any liability arising out of his or her action in that capacity, whether or not Delaware law would otherwise permit indemnification.

 

2

 

In addition, The Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws provide that the Registrant is required to advance expenses to its directors and officers as incurred in connection with legal proceedings against them for which they may be indemnified and that the rights conferred in the amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive.

 

Additionally, the Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements, among other things, require the Registrant to indemnify each director and officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and the Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws for expenses such as, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or executive officer in any action or proceeding, including any action by or in the Registrant’s right, arising out of the person’s services as the Registrant’s director or executive officer or as the director or executive officer of any subsidiary of the Registrant or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at the Registrant’s request. The Registrant also maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

 

Reference is made to the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-193661), declared effective by the Commission on March 18, 2014, and the underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-200448), declared effective by the Commission on December 11, 2014, pursuant to which the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the Registrant’s officers and directors against certain liabilities under the 1933 Act.
