Company Overview
We are an innovative global medical technology company that develops, commercializes, and delivers minimally invasive and non-invasive medical aesthetic and hair restoration technologies and related practice enhancement services. To address the financial barriers faced by physicians and aesthetic service providers globally, we focus our medical aesthetic product sale strategy on a subscription-based business model in North America and in our well-established direct global markets. We design and sell a full-suite of medical aesthetic products and markets our current products primarily to physicians interested in providing minimally invasive and non-invasive aesthetic medical procedures, and to aesthetic medical spas.
In November 2019, we completed our business combination with Restoration Robotics, Inc., or Restoration Robotics, a global leader in hair restoration. Restoration Robotics is commercializing a robotic device, the ARTAS® System, that assists physicians in performing many of the repetitive tasks that are part of a follicular unit extraction surgery, or FUE, a type of hair restoration surgery. In July 2018, Restoration Robotics introduced the ARTAS iX Robotic Hair Restoration System, which is the only robotic intelligent solution to offer precise, minimally invasive, repeatable harvesting and implantation functionality in one platform. Through our NeoGraft division, we offer an automated hair restoration system that facilitates the harvesting of follicles during a an FUE process, improving the accuracy and speed over commonly used manual extraction instruments. Our hair restoration systems are sold primarily to plastic surgeons and dermatologists, and in the United States we offer these doctors using the NeoGraft system the services of a group of independently contracted technicians, whom we market as NeoGrafters. These technicians are certified to assist the physician during a NeoGraft hair restoration procedure.
We have received FDA clearance for the combined use of multipolar radio frequency, or RF, and pulsed electromagnetic fields, or PEMF, for non-invasive treatment of facial rhytides (wrinkles) in Fitzpatrick skin types I (ivory)-IV (light brown), and temporary reduction in the appearance of cellulite, among others. We have also received FDA clearance for the use of our diode laser system for non-invasive fat reduction (lipolysis) in the abdomen and flanks for certain body types. In certain jurisdictions outside of the United States, our products have received marketing authorizations for indications such as temporary increase of skin tightening, cellulite reduction and uses for certain soft tissue injuries, among others, and for vaginal treatment in the Israeli market. Our proprietary multipolar RF and PEMF technologies, also referred to as our (MP)2 technology, synergistically deliver consistent homogenous treatments in a minimally invasive process. We also use in our systems Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL, for treatment of benign pigmented epidermal and cutaneous lesions, lasers for hair removal and fractional ablative RF modality for skin resurfacing. The ARTAS® system was cleared by the FDA in April 2011 and the ARTAS iX® was cleared by the FDA in March 2018 to include implantation of harvested hair follicles.
Merger with Restoration Robotics
We completed our business combination with Restoration Robotics on November 7, 2019. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, or Merger Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2019, as amended from time to time, by and among Venus Concept Ltd., Restoration Robotics and Radiant Merger Sub Ltd., a company organized under the laws of Israel and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Restoration Robotics, or Merger Sub. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Venus Concept Ltd., with Venus Concept Ltd. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Restoration Robotics (the Merger). Following the completion of the Merger, Restoration Robotics changed its corporate name to Venus Concept Inc., and the business conducted by Venus Concept Ltd. became the primary business conducted by the Company.
7
At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding ordinary and preferred share of Venus Concept Ltd., nominal value of New Israeli Shekels 0.001 each, other than shares held by Venus Concept Ltd. as treasury stock or held by Restoration Robotics or the Merger Sub, were converted into the right to receive 8.6506, or the Exchange Ratio, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, and each outstanding stock option and warrant was assumed by the Company and converted into and become an option or warrant (as applicable) exercisable for Common Stock with the number and exercise price adjusted by the Exchange Ratio.
Immediately following the closing of the Merger, the Company issued and sold in a private placement to certain investors an aggregate of approximately 7.5 million shares of the Companys Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 3.7 million shares of the Companys Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, which we refer to as the Concurrent Financing. The aggregate purchase price for the securities sold in the Concurrent Financing was approximately $28 million. The Company is required to register the resale of the shares sold in the Concurrent Financing and shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The warrants are exercisable beginning on May 7, 2020.
Immediately following completion of the Merger, we effected a 15-for-1 reverse stock split, or Reverse Stock Split, of Common Stock. All share and per share amounts shown in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, unless otherwise noted.
For more information about us, please refer to other documents that we have filed with the SEC and that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as listed under the heading Incorporation by Reference.

This prospectus, and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements, as they relate to us, including expected revenue, operating results and other financial information, involve risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those set forth in the statements. These statements are based on our current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on them. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our business and future financial results, the medical device industry, and other legal, regulatory and economic developments. We use words such as anticipates, believes, plans, expects, projects, future, intends, may, should, could, estimates, predicts, potential, continue, guidance, and similar expressions which are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements.
Material factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, without limitation, the following:
| the number of systems that we sell; |
| the success of the commercial launch of Venus Bliss; |
| the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals for our products; |
| the expected synergies from the Merger; |
| the revenue we generate from our operations; |
| our ability to raise additional capital; |
| the scope and timing of our investment in our commercial infrastructure and sales-force; |
| the costs of commercialization activities including product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution; |
| the degree and rate of market acceptance of our products; |
| the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; |
| our need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems; |
| the research and development activities we intend to undertake in order to expand the approved indications of use for our products; |
| the emergence of competing technologies or other adverse market developments; |
| any product liability or other lawsuits related to our products; |
| the expenses needed to attract and retain skilled personnel; |
| the costs associated with being a public company; and |
| the costs associated with maintaining subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions. |
We cannot assure you that we will achieve our expectations. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Our business is subject to a number of risks of which you should be aware before making an investment decision. See the Risk Factors section of this prospectus.
11
All of the shares of our Common Stock offered by this prospectus are being registered for the account of the selling stockholders. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares. We have agreed to pay all costs, expenses and fees relating to the registration of the shares of our Common Stock covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sale of the shares.
We may, however, receive cash proceeds equal to the exercise price of the Warrants that a stockholder may exercise, to the extent any such Warrants are exercised for cash. We expect to use any proceeds received by us from the cash exercise of these Warrants for general corporate purposes.
We cannot predict when or if these Warrants will be exercised, and it is possible that these Warrants may expire and never be exercised. The Warrants are exercisable under certain circumstances on a cashless basis and if the Warrants be exercised on a cashless basis we will not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. As a result, we may never receive meaningful, or any, cash proceeds from the exercise of these Warrants, and we cannot plan on any specific uses of any proceeds we may receive beyond the purposes described herein.
12
This prospectus covers an aggregate of up to 16,387,026 shares of our Common Stock that may be sold or otherwise disposed of by the selling stockholders, which consists of (i) 12,465,110 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock and (ii) 3,921,916 shares of Common Stock issuable to certain of the selling stockholders upon the exercise of outstanding Warrants.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to each selling stockholder, including (i) the shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by such selling stockholder prior to this offering, (ii) the number of shares being offered by such selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, and (iii) such selling stockholders beneficial ownership after completion of this offering, assuming that all of the shares covered hereby (but none of the other shares, if any, held by the selling stockholders) are sold to third parties.
The table is based on information supplied to us by the selling stockholders, with beneficial ownership and percentage ownership determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of stock. This information does not necessarily indicate beneficial ownership for any other purpose. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a selling stockholder and the percentage ownership of that selling stockholder, shares of Common Stock subject to Warrants held by that selling stockholder that are exercisable as of December 31, 2019, or exercisable within 60 days after December 31, 2019, are deemed outstanding. Such shares, however, are not deemed outstanding for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other selling stockholder. The percentage of beneficial ownership after this offering is based on 29,894,285 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2019. Except where otherwise indicated below, Venus Concept believes, based on information furnished to it by such owners and provided in reports filed with the SEC, that the beneficial owners of the Common Stock listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such shares. Unless otherwise noted below, the address for all beneficial owners is c/o Venus Concept Inc., 235 Yorkland Blvd., Suite 900, Toronto, Ontario M2J 4Y8.
The registration of these shares of Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable to the selling stockholders upon the exercise of the Warrants does not mean that the selling stockholders will sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of those securities. The selling stockholders may sell or otherwise dispose of all, a portion or none of such shares from time to time. We do not know the number of shares, if any, that will be offered for sale or other disposition by any of the selling stockholders under this prospectus. Furthermore, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or disposed of the shares of Common Stock covered hereby in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act since the date on which we filed this prospectus.
Except as otherwise disclosed in the footnotes below, none of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or other material relationship with us.
Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Any changed information will be set forth in an amendment to the registration statement (of which this prospectus forms a part) or a supplement to this prospectus, to the extent required by law.
The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See Plan of Distribution.

The selling stockholders, and any of their transferees, donees, pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions directly or through one or more under-writers, broker-dealers or agents. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may involve crossed or block transactions. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares:
| ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| through brokers, dealers or underwriters that may act solely as agents; |
| purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| privately negotiated transactions; |
| broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; |
| a combination of any such methods of disposition; and |
| any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 or Rule 904 under the Securities Act, if available, or Section 4(a)(1) under the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by a selling stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from such selling stockholder or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts relating to its sales of shares to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under a supplement or amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
Upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of Common Stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon being notified in writing by a selling stockholder that a donee or pledge intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, we will file a supplement to this prospectus if then required in accordance with applicable securities law. The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
21
In connection with the sale of shares of Common Stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of our Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus, as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
The maximum commission or discount to be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) or independent broker-dealer will not be greater than 8% of the initial gross proceeds from the sale of any security being sold.
Because each of the selling stockholders may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our Common Stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed the selling stockholders of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
We have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement and the Equity Financing Registration Rights Agreement) have been sold pursuant to such registration statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder); and (ii) the date as of which a selling stockholder no longer holds the shares of Common Stock registered hereunder.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the securities. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares Common Stock by the selling stockholders.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the persons conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.
Section 145 further provides that to the extent a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith; that indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; and the indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such persons heirs, executors and administrators. Section 145 also empowers the corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liabilities under Section 145.
II-1
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a corporations certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit 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) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our current directors and executive officers to provide these directors and executive officers additional contractual assurances regarding the scope of the indemnification set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws and to provide additional procedural protections. The indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and the indemnification agreements entered into between us and each of our directors and executive officers may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and executive officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We maintain insurance policies under which our directors and executive officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities that might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not we would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

Item 17. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act 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 any 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 SEC 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 (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by the 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
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of the 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 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 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.
(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 an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the 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.
II-5
(h) 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 foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-6
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Toronto, Ontario, on this 31st day of January, 2020.
