Arcimoto (FUVV) 424B5Prospectus supplement for primary offering

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5)

Registration No. 333-261955

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

(To Prospectus dated January 13, 2022)

Up to 1,470,589 Shares of Common Stock

We are offering on a “reasonable best efforts” basis up to 1,470,589 shares of our common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”) at a negotiated price of $1.70 and such Common Stock will be issued pursuant to this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and a securities purchase agreement.

In a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private Placement”), the Company will also sell, for no additional consideration, warrants (“Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 2,941,178 shares of our Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock will be sold together with two (2) Common Warrants. Each Common Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The Common Warrants will have an initial exercise price of $1.75 per share, are exercisable six (6) months after their issuance and will expire five years and six months after the date on which the Common Warrants are issued. The shares of Common Stock and Common Warrants are immediately separable and will be issued separately.

The Common Warrants and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrant are not being registered under the Securities Act, are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus and are being offered on a private placement basis pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “FUV”. On June 9, 2023, the closing sale price of our Common Stock was $1.79 per share. There is no established public trading market for the Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.

As of June 9, 2023, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates (“public float”) was approximately $12,160,000, based on 6,792,886 shares of outstanding common stock held by non-affiliates as of such date, and a price of $1.79 per share, which was the last reported sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on June 9, 2023. We have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 during the prior 12-calendar-month period that ends on and includes the date of this prospectus supplement. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, we are currently eligible under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3 to offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $4,053,088. 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 one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75.0 million.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, and, as such, are subject to certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

Investing in any of our securities involves a high degree of risk. See the “Risk Factors” section beginning on page S-3 of this prospectus supplement and page 2 of the accompanying prospectus, as well as our other filings that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) 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 engaged Dawson James Securities, Inc. to act as our exclusive placement agent (“Dawson James” or the “Placement Agent”) in connection with the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities but has agreed to use its best efforts to sell the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a fee based on the aggregate proceeds raised in this offering as set forth in the table below. Pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we will also issue warrants to purchase up to 73,529 shares of our Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to the Placement Agent, as part of the compensation payable to the Placement Agent. This Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price of $1.87 per share, are exercisable six months after their issuance, and will expire five years from the closing of the sales in this offering. The Company also agreed to pay the Placement Agent a Solicitation Fee and a Tail Financing Fee, as defined below. Please see “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page S-13 of this prospectus supplement for more information regarding these arrangements.

Delivery of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is expected to be made on or about June 14, 2023, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PROSPECTUS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are part of a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a “shelf” registration process.

This document contains two parts. The first part consists of this prospectus supplement, which provides you with specific information about this offering. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the “prospectus,” we are referring to both parts, combined. This prospectus supplement may add, update or change information contained in the accompanying prospectus. To the extent that any statement we make in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with statements made in the accompanying prospectus or any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein that we filed with the SEC before the date of this prospectus supplement, the statements made in this prospectus supplement will be deemed to modify or supersede those made in the accompanying prospectus and such documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. You should read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the information incorporated by reference herein and therein.

You should rely only on the information that we have included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in any free writing prospectus we may authorize to be delivered or made available to you. We have not, and the Placement Agent has not, authorized anyone to give any information or to make any representation other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any free writing prospectus we may authorize to be delivered or made available to you. You must not rely upon any information or representation not contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they relate, nor does this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is accurate on any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have incorporated by reference herein or therein is correct on any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus supplement or accompanying prospectus is delivered, or securities are sold, on a later date.

This prospectus supplement contains or incorporates by reference summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been or will be filed or have been or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement forms a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described in this prospectus supplement under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

We further note that the representations, warranties and covenants made by us in any agreement that is filed as an exhibit to any document that is incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus were made solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, including, in some cases, for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties to such agreements, and should not be deemed to be a representation, warranty or covenant to you. Moreover, such representations, warranties or covenants were accurate only as of the date when made. Accordingly, such representations, warranties and covenants should not be relied on as accurately representing the current state of our affairs.

Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus, or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or “Arcimoto” refer specifically to Arcimoto, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. When we refer to “you,” we mean the potential holders of our securities. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this prospectus supplement are defined in the accompanying prospectus.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Before deciding whether to invest in our securities, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, in the accompanying prospectus, and any documents incorporated by reference herein and therein. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as revised or supplemented by our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, each of which are on file with the SEC and are incorporated herein by reference, and which may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. There may be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive, regulatory or other factors that could have material adverse effects on our future results. Our business, business prospects, financial condition or operating results could be harmed by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. This could cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to This Offering

We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.

The design, manufacture, sale and servicing of vehicles is a capital-intensive business. We have previously raised funds through equity investment and convertible and non-convertible notes to meet our cash needs, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to raise enough additional capital in the short term to meet our ongoing cash requirements. Our need to raise additional funds to sustain operations and reach our vehicle production goals is dependent on how quickly we can secure financing and reduce the cost of our vehicles. We may raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions. We cannot assure anyone that we will be able to raise additional funds when needed. We cannot be certain that additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when we need them, we will be unable to continue operations.

We have halted our production of vehicles and will require substantial additional funding to resume production, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, and, if not so available, we will be required to cease our operations and/or seek bankruptcy protection.

Our stock price may be volatile or may decline regardless of our operating performance, and you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price at which you purchase it.

The stock market generally, and our stock in particular, has experienced price and volume fluctuations. As a result of this volatility, you might not be able to sell your common stock at or above the price at which you purchase it. The market price for our common stock might continue to fluctuate significantly in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

In addition, the stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These fluctuations might be even more pronounced in the new trading market for our stock. Additionally, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company’s securities. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs, divert our management’s attention and resources, and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

You may also experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In addition, we have a significant number of stock options and warrants outstanding, and, in order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price per share in this offering. In the event that the outstanding options or warrants are exercised or settled, or that we make additional issuances of Common Stock or other convertible or exchangeable securities, you could experience additional dilution. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders, including investors who purchase shares of Common Stock in this offering. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock in future transactions, may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. As a result, purchasers of the shares we sell, as well as our existing stockholders, will experience significant dilution if we sell at prices significantly below the price at which they invested. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

Resales of our Common Stock in the public market during this offering by our stockholders may cause the market price of our Common Stock to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock could occur at any time. The issuance of new shares of our Common Stock could result in resales of our Common Stock by our current stockholders concerned about the potential ownership dilution of their holdings. In turn, these resales could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Common Stock.

We will have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of securities under this prospectus to repay the convertible note with Joshua S. Scherer and the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, as described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” We will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds in the category of general corporate purposes and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering.

The precise amount and timing of the application of these proceeds, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, such as our funding requirements and the availability and costs of other funds. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. Depending on the outcome of our efforts and other unforeseen events, our plans and priorities may change and we may apply the net proceeds of this offering in different manners than we currently anticipate.

The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term, interest-bearing instruments. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.

This offering may cause the trading price of our Common Stock to decrease.

The price per share, together with the number of shares of Common Stock we propose to issue and ultimately will issue if this offering is completed, may result in an immediate decrease in the market price of our Common Stock. This decrease may continue after the completion of this offering.

There is no public market for the Warrants being offered in this offering.

There is no established public trading market for the Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Warrants will be limited.

Holders of our Warrants will have no rights as common stockholders until they acquire our Common Stock.

Until you acquire shares of our Common Stock upon exercise of your Warrants, you will have no rights with respect to shares of our Common Stock issuable upon exercise of your Warrants. Upon exercise of your Warrants, you 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.

If we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, holders will only be able to exercise such Warrants on a “cashless basis.”

If we do not maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants at the time that holders wish to exercise such warrants, they will only be able to exercise them on a “cashless basis,” and under no circumstances would we be required to make any cash payments or net cash settle such warrants to the holders. As a result, the number of shares of Common Stock that holders will receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants will be fewer than it would have been had such holders exercised their Common Warrants for cash. Under the terms of the Common Warrants, we have agreed to use our best efforts to maintain a current and effective prospectus relating to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants until the expiration of such warrants. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If we are unable to do so, the potential “upside” of the holder’s investment in our company may be reduced.

The Common Warrants are speculative in nature.

The Common Warrants offered hereby do not confer any rights of Common Stock ownership on their holders, such as voting rights or the right to receive dividends, but rather merely represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock at a fixed price. Specifically, commencing six months after the date of issuance, holders of the Common Warrants may acquire the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants at an exercise price of $1.75 per share. Moreover, following this offering, the market value of the Common Warrants is uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the market value of the Common Warrants will equal or exceed their public offering price.

The Common Warrants may not have any value.

The Common Warrants have an exercise price of $1.75 per share, are exercisable six months after issuance, and will expire five years and six months after the date on which the Common Warrants are issued. In the event our Common Stock price does not exceed the exercise price of the Common Warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the Common Warrants may not have any value.

This offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis.

The Placement Agent is offering the shares on a “best efforts” basis, and the Placement Agent is under no obligation to purchase any shares for its own account. The Placement Agent is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of Common Stock in this offering but will use its best efforts to sell the securities offered in this prospectus supplement. As a “best efforts” offering, there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated.

Certain provisions of the Common Warrants could discourage an acquisition of us by a third party.

Certain provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire us. The Common Warrants prohibit us from engaging in certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions” unless, among other things, the surviving entity assumes our obligations under the Common Warrants. Further, the Common Warrants provide that, in the event of certain transactions constituting “fundamental transactions,” with some exception, holders of such warrants will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase such Common Warrants at a price described in such warrants. These and other provisions of the Common Warrants offered by this prospectus could prevent or deter a third party from acquiring us even where the acquisition could be beneficial to you.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared nor paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the operation and expansion of our business, and we do not expect to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, stockholders must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation as the only way to realize any future gains on their investment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus supplement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed from time to time in this prospectus and in other documents which we file with the SEC. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to:

You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we currently expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and any document incorporated by reference herein and therein is accurate as of its date only. Because the risks referred to above could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors may arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any other prospectus supplement and any document incorporated herein or therein by reference, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $2.3 million, after deducting the placement agent fee and estimated offering expenses payable to us. However, we may sell less than the maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered hereby, in which case the net proceeds would be less. There is no minimum amount that we will sell under this prospectus supplement. As a “best efforts” offering, there can be no assurance that the offering contemplated hereby will ultimately be consummated or will be consummated with the sale of fewer than the maximum number of Shares offered hereby. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of securities under this prospectus to repay the convertible note with Joshua S. Scherer and the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. The convertible note with Joshua S. Scherer has a maturity date of June 25, 2023 and a fixed interest amount of $75,000.

The timing and amount of our actual expenditures will be based on many factors, including cash flows from operations and the anticipated growth of our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to us from this offering. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the timing and application of the net proceeds from this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of the net proceeds from this offering.

dilution

If you purchase our Common Stock (or equivalent) in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering. We calculate net tangible book value per share by dividing our net tangible assets (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the number of shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023 was $21.5 million, or approximately $2.93 per share. After giving effect to the sale of our Common Stock in this offering at a public offering price of $1.70 per share and the issuance and repayment of our promissory note with Joshua S. Scherer, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2023 would have been $24.2 million, or approximately $2.70 per share of our Common Stock. This represents an immediate decrease in the net tangible book value of $0.23 per share of our Common Stock to our existing stockholders and an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $1.00 per share of our Common Stock to new investors. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

The above discussion and table are based on 7,338,249 shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2023. The number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2023 excludes, as of such date:

Except as otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise or forfeiture of the outstanding options or warrants after March 31, 2023, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Common Warrants.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

We are offering (i) up to 1,470,589 shares of our Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock is being sold together with two Common Warrants. The Common Warrants to purchase up to 2,941,178 shares of our Common Stock are being sold in the Concurrent Private Placement for no additional consideration. Each Common Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrants will be issued separately.

Common Stock

The material terms and provisions of our Common Stock and each other class of our securities that qualifies or limits our Common Stock are described in the section entitled “Description of Capital Stock” beginning on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus.

We are authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value (“common stock”), and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, no par value (“preferred stock”), of which 1,500,000 shares have been designated as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A-1 Preferred Stock”) and 2,000,000 shares have been designated as the Class C Preferred Stock (the “Class C Preferred Stock”).

Common Warrants

The following summary of certain terms and provisions of the Common Warrants that are sold in the Concurrent Private Placement is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Common Warrants, the form of which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Prospective investors should carefully review the terms and provisions of the form of Common Warrant for a complete description of the terms and conditions of the Common Warrants.

Duration and Exercise Price

Each Common Warrant sold in the Concurrent Private Placement will have an initial exercise price of $1.75 per share. The Common Warrants will be exercisable six months after their issuance and will expire five years and six months after the date on which the Common Warrants are issued. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our Common Stock and the exercise price. For each share of Common Stock purchased in this offering, two Common Warrants will be issued. Each Common Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock.

Exercisability

The Common Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, six months after their issuance, by delivering a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Common Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99 (or, at the election of a purchaser, 9.99%) of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of ownership of outstanding stock after exercising the holder’s Common Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Common Warrants. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a Common Warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its Common Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available, then 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 Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants. On the Termination Date, as defined in the Common Warrant, the Common Warrants shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise.

Fundamental Transaction

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Common Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities, the holders of the Common Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Common Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Common Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. In addition, the holders of the Common Warrants have the right to require us or a successor entity to redeem the Common Warrant for the cash paid in the fundamental transaction in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the Common Warrant on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transaction.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Common Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Common Warrant together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Exchange Listing

We do not intend to list the Common Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

Right as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of, the holders of the Common Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our Common Stock, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Common Warrants.

Placement Agent Warrants

The Placement Agent Warrants have the same terms as the Common Warrants, except that the exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $1.87 per share (representing 110% of the offering price per share) and the expiration date of the warrants is five (5) years from the closing of the sales in this Offering.

Tail Financing Payments

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) using a shelf registration process. Using this process, we may, from time to time, sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $300,000,000. This prospectus provides a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we sell any securities under this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain more specific information about the terms of the securities being offered and the specific manner in which they will be offered. This prospectus may not be used to offer and sell our securities unless accompanied by a prospectus supplement.

To the extent that any statement we make in an accompanying prospectus supplement is inconsistent with statements made in this prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference herein, the statements made in this prospectus or in any document incorporated by reference herein will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

You should carefully read this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein as described below under the captions “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation by Reference” before making a decision to invest in our securities.

You should rely only on the information set forth in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement.

We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

You should assume that the information in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are accurate only as of the dates of those documents.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully read and review the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, the risk factors discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in any accompanying prospectus supplement, and any risk factors discussed in our other filings with the SEC which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before investing in our securities. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect us. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any accompanying prospectus supplement or our other filings with the SEC or if any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act’), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that express our strategies, intentions, financial projections, beliefs, expectations, strategies, predictions, or any other statements relating to our future activities or other future events or conditions. Also, any statement that does not describe historical or current facts is a forward-looking statement. These statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “projects”, “plans”, “goal”, “targets”, “potential”, “estimates”, “pro forma”, “seeks”, “intends”, or “anticipates”, or similar expressions. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our business based, in part, on assumptions made by management. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and/or beyond our control. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may, and are likely to, differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements due to numerous factors discussed in this prospectus, any accompanying prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein. In addition, such statements could be affected by risks and uncertainties related to:

This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is only a summary of some of the most important factors and is not intended to be exhaustive. You should carefully read and review the risks and information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus and in any accompanying prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, the section of this prospectus captioned “Risk Factors,” the section captioned “Risk Factors” which is incorporated by reference herein from our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any other risks and uncertainties we identify in other reports and information that we file with the SEC. New factors that are not currently known to us or of which we are currently unaware may also emerge from time to time that could materially and adversely affect us.

All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation and specifically decline any obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of such statements are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should, however, carefully read and review any further disclosures we make related to forward-looking statements in any accompanying prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein.

This summary is not complete, is qualified in its entirety by reference to our Articles and our Bylaws and is subject to the relevant provisions of the Act.

As of December 27, 2021:

Common Stock

General. Holders of shares of common stock have the rights set forth in our Articles and Bylaws and the Act. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of our preferred stock that we may designate and issue.

Ranking. Our common stock, with respect to dividend rights, ranks (i) junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has dividend rights that are senior to our common stock, and (ii) pari passu with our Class C Preferred Stock. Our common stock, with respect to rights upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks (i) junior to any indebtedness of the Company, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has liquidation rights that are senior to our common stock, and (ii) pari passu with our Class C Preferred Stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Subject to the preferential rights of any series of preferred stock having dividend rights that are senior to the common stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to receive, when and if declared by our Board of Directors (“Board”), out of the assets of the Company which are legally available therefor, dividends payable in either in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock.

Voting. Each holder of common stock has one vote in respect of each share of common stock held by such holder of record on the books of the Company for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of shares preferred stock and common stock vote together as a single class on all matters.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after the payment of all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities and after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of the preferred stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, holders of the common stock are entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Company available for distribution to shareholders ratably in proportion to the number of shares of common stock held by such holders.

Conversion and Exchange Rights. Our common stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other shares of our capital stock.

Preemptive Rights. Holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive rights.

Redemption and Sinking Fund. We have no obligation or right to redeem our common stock, and there is no sinking fund that pertains to the common stock.

Listing and Trading. Our common stock is listed for trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “FUV.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar. The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized, without any additional action by our shareholders, to issue shares of our preferred stock in one or more series, each with such designations, rights, preferences, voting powers (or no voting powers), relative, participating, optional or other special rights and privileges and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our Board may determine. The authority of our Board with respect to each such series includes, without limitation of the foregoing, the right to provide that the shares of each such series may be (i) subject to redemption at such time or times and at such price or prices, (ii) entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or non-cumulative) at such rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or any other series, (iii) entitled to such rights upon the dissolution of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Company, (iv) convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes of stock, or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of the Company at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange, and with such adjustments, if any, (v) entitled to the benefit of such limitations, if any, on the issuance of additional shares of such series or shares of any other series of Preferred Stock and/or (vi) entitled to such other preferences, powers, qualifications, rights and privileges, all as our Board deems advisable and as are not inconsistent with our Articles and Bylaws and the Act.

If we issue preferred stock, we will fix the rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series that we sell under this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplements in articles of amendment to our Articles relating to that series. We will also incorporate by reference into the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part, the form of any articles of amendment that describes the terms of the series of preferred stock we are offering before the issuance of the related series of preferred stock. We urge you to read the accompanying prospectus supplement related to any series of preferred stock we may offer, as well as the complete articles of amendment that contains the terms of the applicable series of preferred stock. It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock upon the rights of holders of our common stock until our Board determines the specific rights of the holders of the preferred stock. However, these effects might include restricting dividends on the common stock, diluting and/or adversely affecting the voting power of the common stock, impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock, delaying or preventing the completion of a merger, acquisition, tender offer or other takeover attempt and delaying or preventing the removal of management of the Company. Any such effects could, in turn, depress the trading price of our common stock. All shares of preferred stock offered will, when issued, be fully paid and nonassessable, including shares of preferred stock issued upon the exercise or exchange of any other securities described in this prospectus.

The transfer agent and registrar for the preferred stock will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

The Act provides that the holders of preferred stock will have the right to vote separately as a class on any proposal involving fundamental changes in the rights of holders of that preferred stock. This statutory right is in addition to any voting rights that may be provided for in any applicable articles of amendment.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock

General. Holders of our shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock have the rights set forth in our Articles, our Bylaws and the Act.

Ranking. Our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights, ranks (i) junior to any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has dividend rights that are senior to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and (ii) senior to our Class C Preferred Stock, any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has dividend rights that are junior to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and our common stock. Our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, with respect to rights upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks (i) junior to any indebtedness of the Company and any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has liquidation rights that are senior to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and (ii) senior to our Class C Preferred Stock, any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has liquidation rights that are junior to our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and our common stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any dividend on the Class C Preferred Stock and the common stock and pari passu with each other an amount equal to that paid on any other outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, payable when, as, and if declared by our Board. Such dividends shall not be cumulative. Unless full dividends on the Series A-1 Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then-current dividend period have been paid and an amount sufficient for the payment of such dividends have been set apart: (i) no dividend (other than a dividend payable solely in common stock or other securities and rights convertible into or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, additional shares of common stock) may be paid or declared, and no distribution may be made, on any Class C Preferred Stock or common stock, and (ii) no shares of Class C Preferred Stock or common stock may be purchased, redeemed, or acquired by the Company and no funds may be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption, or acquisition thereof, provided, however, that this restriction does not apply to the repurchase of shares of common stock held by employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that are subject to restrictive stock purchase agreements under which the Company has the option to repurchase such shares at cost upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment.

Voting. Holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters and are entitled to a number of votes equal to the number of votes that would be accorded to the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which such holder’s shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock could then be converted, pursuant to the provisions of “Conversion and Exchange Rights” below, at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on such matter or, if no such record date is established, at the date such vote is taken or any written consent of shareholders is solicited. Holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of shares preferred stock and common stock vote together as a single class on all matters.

Liquidation Rights. The holders of Series A-1 Preferred are entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the Company’s assets to the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock and common stock, an amount per share equal to the original issue price of that share for each then-outstanding share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock plus any declared but unpaid dividends on such share (together, the “Series A-1 Liquidation Amount”). If, upon the occurrence of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets thus distributed among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred is insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Series A-1 Liquidation Amount, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution will be distributed ratably among the holders of Series A-1 Preferred in the same proportion as the full preferential amount each such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive bears to the total of the full preferential amount that would otherwise be distributable to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred.

After payment in full of the Series A-1 Liquidation Amount, or after funds necessary for such payment have been set aside by the Company in trust for the account of holders of such shares so as to be available for such payment, holders of Series A-1 Preferred will not be entitled to any further participation in the distribution of the assets of the Company and will have no further rights of conversion, and the remaining assets available for distribution will be distributed among the holders of Class C Preferred Stock and common stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Class C Preferred Stock and common stock held by each.

Conversion and Exchange Rights. Each share of Series A-1 Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into a number of shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the original issue price of the share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock by the Series A-1 Conversion Price (as defined below) in effect at the time of conversion. The “Series A-1 Conversion Price” of each share is initially equal to the original issue price of the share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. The initial Series A-1 Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series A-1 Preferred may be converted into shares of common stock, are subject to various adjustments set forth in our Articles. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in our Articles), the conversion rights of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will terminate at the close of business on the last full day preceding the date fixed for the payment of any such amounts distributable on such event to the holders of Series A-1 Preferred Stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued upon conversion of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional shares to which a holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company will pay cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of a share of common stock as determined in good faith by our Board.

Upon either (i) the closing of the sale of shares of common stock to the public at a price of at least $5.00 per share in a firm-commitment, underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act resulting in at least $15,000,000 of proceeds, net of the underwriting discount and commissions, to the Company or (ii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the then outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock, (a) all then-outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock will automatically be converted into shares of common stock, at the then-effective conversion rate and (b) such shares may not be reissued by the Company.

Series A Preferred Stock is not exchangeable for any other shares of our capital stock.

Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive rights.

Redemption and Sinking Fund. We have no obligation or right to redeem our Series A-1 Preferred Stock, and there is no sinking fund that pertains to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock.

Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. The issued and outstanding shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Class C Preferred Stock

General. Holders of shares of Class C Preferred Stock have the rights set forth in our Articles and Bylaws and the Act.

Ranking. Our Class C Preferred Stock, with respect to dividend rights, ranks (i) junior to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has dividend rights that are senior to our Class C Preferred Stock, and (ii) pari passu with our common stock. Our Class C Preferred Stock, with respect to rights upon a liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, ranks (i) junior to any indebtedness of the Company, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue that has liquidation rights that are senior to our Class C Preferred Stock, and (ii) pari passu with our common stock.

Dividends and Other Distributions. Subject to the preferential rights of any series of preferred stock having dividend rights that are senior to the Class C Preferred Stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of the Class C Preferred Stock rank pari passu with our common stock and are entitled to receive, when and if declared by our Board, out of the assets of the Company which are legally available therefor, dividends payable in either in cash, in property or in shares of capital stock.

Voting. Each holder of Class C Preferred Stock has one vote in respect of each share of stock held by such holder of record on the books of the Company for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. Holders of Class C Preferred Stock do not have cumulative voting rights. The holders of shares preferred stock and common stock vote together as a single class on all matters.

Liquidation Rights. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after the payment of all of the Company’s debts and other liabilities and after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of the Company’s other classes and series of preferred stock, including the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, holders of the Class C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Company of whatever kind available for distribution to shareholders pro rata with the holders of shares of common stock, treating for this purpose all such shares of Class C Preferred Stock as if they had been converted to common stock on a 1:1 basis immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Conversion and Exchange Rights. Our Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of common stock only upon the effectiveness of articles of amendment to our Articles that increase in the number of authorized shares of our common stock in which event all then-outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of our common stock at the ratio of 1:1. Our Class C Preferred Stock is not otherwise convertible into or exchangeable for any other shares of our capital stock.

Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Class C Preferred Stock do not have any preemptive rights.

Redemption and Sinking Fund. We have no obligation or right to redeem our Class C Preferred Stock, and there is no sinking fund that pertains to the Class C Preferred Stock.

Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. The issued and outstanding shares of our Class C Preferred Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Certain provisions of Oregon law, our Articles and our Bylaws

Certain provisions of Oregon law and our Articles and Bylaws discussed below may have the effect of making more difficult or discouraging a tender offer, proxy contest or other takeover attempt. These provisions are expected to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our Company to first negotiate with our Board. We believe that the benefits of increasing our ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure our Company outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Oregon Business Combination Act

We are subject to the Oregon Business Combination Act, an anti-takeover law. In general, the Oregon Business Combination Act prohibits a publicly-held Oregon corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested shareholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested shareholder, unless:

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested shareholder. Generally, an “interested shareholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and within three years prior to the determination of interested shareholder status did own, 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.

Oregon Control Share Act

We are subject to the Oregon Control Share Act, under which a person who acquires voting stock in a transaction that results in the person holding more than 20%, 33 1/3% or 50% of the total voting power cannot vote the shares it acquires in the acquisition unless voting rights are accorded to such control shares:

This vote would be required at the time an acquiring person’s holdings exceed 20% of the total voting power, and again at the time the acquiring person’s holdings exceed 33 1/3% and 50%, respectively.

The Oregon Control Share Act and the Oregon Business Combination Act could have the effect of encouraging potential acquirers to negotiate with our Board and discourage potential acquirers unwilling to comply with the provisions of these laws. These laws also may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of our Company that a shareholder might consider in the shareholder’s best interests, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our shareholders. An Oregon corporation may provide in its articles of incorporation or bylaws that the laws described above do not apply to its shares. We have not adopted such a provision and do not currently intend to do so.

Governing Documents

Our Articles and Bylaws include a number of provisions that may have the effect of deterring acquisition proposals or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our Company.

Restated Articles

Bylaws

These provisions of Oregon law and our Articles and Bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and delay or prevent a change in control or management of our Company.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may issue debt securities either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. Debt securities may be our senior, senior subordinated or subordinated obligations and may be issued in one or more series. Unless otherwise expressly stated in an accompanying prospectus supplement, the debt securities will represent our general, unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured indebtedness.

Any debt securities that we issue will be issued under an indenture that will be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, or other trustee that is qualified to act under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”), which we select to act as trustee. A copy of the form of indenture (the “Indenture”) has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. The Indenture may be modified by one or more supplemental indentures, which we will incorporate by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Any debt securities that we issue will include those stated in the Indenture (including any supplemental indentures that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities) as well as those made part of the Indenture by reference to TIA, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The Indenture will be subject to and governed by the terms of the TIA.

The following description and any description in an accompanying prospectus supplement is a summary only and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and provisions of the indentures and any supplemental indentures that we file with the SEC in connection with an issuance of any series of debt securities. You should read all of the provisions of the indentures, including the definitions of certain terms, as well as any supplemental indentures that we file with the SEC in connection with the issuance of any series of debt securities. These summaries set forth certain general terms and provisions of the securities to which any accompanying prospectus supplement may relate. The specific terms and provisions of a series of debt securities and the extent to which the general terms and provisions may also apply to a particular series of debt securities will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Copies of the Indenture may be obtained from us or the Trustee.

General

We may issue the debt securities in one or more series, with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. We will describe the particular terms of each series of debt securities in an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that series, which we will file with the SEC. Please read the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to the series of debt securities being offered for specific terms including, when applicable:

As used in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement relating to the offering of debt securities of any series, references to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of the series include the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, required by the debt securities of the series to be paid in that context.

Debt securities may be issued as original issue discount securities to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount. In the event of an acceleration of the maturity of any original issue discount security, the amount payable to the holder upon acceleration will be determined in the manner described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to original issue discount securities will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

If the purchase price of any debt securities is payable in a foreign currency or if the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any debt securities is payable in a foreign currency, the specific terms of those debt securities and the applicable foreign currency will be specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to those debt securities.

The terms of the debt securities of any series may differ from the terms of the debt securities of any other series, and the terms of particular debt securities within any series may differ from each other. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities, we may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series, reopen an existing series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series.

Unless otherwise described in an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities and except to the limited extent set forth below under “—Merger, Consolidation and Transfer of Assets,” there will be no limitation upon our ability to incur indebtedness or other liabilities or that would afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a business combination, takeover, recapitalization or highly leveraged or similar transaction involving us. Accordingly, we may in the future enter into transactions that could increase the amount of our consolidated indebtedness and other liabilities or otherwise adversely affect our capital structure or credit rating without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series.

Registration, Transfer and Payment

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each series of debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities will be issued in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Unless otherwise indicated in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be payable and may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and, if applicable, for conversion into or exchange for other securities or property, at an office or agency maintained by us in the United States. However, we may, at our option, make payments of interest on any registered debt security by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to receive that payment or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States. Unless otherwise indicated in the accompanying prospectus supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, redemption or repayment of debt securities, or for any conversion or exchange of debt securities for other securities or property, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with that transaction.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will not be required to:

Book-entry Debt Securities

The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global debt securities. Global debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depositary which, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the series, will be DTC. Global debt securities may be issued in either registered or bearer form and in either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing debt securities, a global debt security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depositary to its nominee or by the nominee to the depositary, or by the depositary or its nominee to a successor depositary or to a nominee of the successor depositary.

We anticipate that global debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and that global debt securities will be registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. All interests in global debt securities deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC and, in the case of any interests in global debt securities held through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), the operations and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. We also anticipate that the following provisions will apply to the depository arrangements with respect to global debt securities. Additional or differing terms of the depository arrangements may be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

DTC has advised us that it is:

DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its participants of securities transactions, including transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in participants’ accounts, which eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other organizations. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, sometimes referred to in this prospectus as indirect participants, that clear transactions through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant either directly or indirectly. Indirect participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks and trust companies. The rules applicable to DTC and its participants are on file with the SEC.

Purchases of debt securities within the DTC system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for the debt securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of the actual purchaser or beneficial owner of a debt security is, in turn, recorded on the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchases, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transactions, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which they purchased the debt securities. Transfers of ownership interests in debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners.

Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the debt securities, except under the limited circumstances described below.

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by participants with DTC will be registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede & Co. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. will not change the beneficial ownership of the debt securities. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the debt securities. DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts the debt securities are credited. Those participants may or may not be the beneficial owners. The participants are responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants and by direct and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any legal requirements in effect from time to time. Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC or its nominee. If less than all of the debt securities of a series are being redeemed, DTC will reduce the amount of the interest of each direct participant in the debt securities under its procedures.

In any case in which a vote may be required with respect to the debt securities of any series, neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will give consents for or vote the global debt securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC will mail an omnibus proxy to us after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns the consenting or voting rights of Cede & Co. to those direct participants to whose accounts the debt securities are credited on the record date identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy. Principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the global debt securities will be paid to Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts on the relevant payment date unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on the payment date. Payments by direct and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the account of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name.” Those payments will be the responsibility of DTC’s direct and indirect participants and not of DTC, us, the Trustee or any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any debt securities. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, to DTC is our responsibility, disbursement of payments to direct participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

Except under the limited circumstances described below, beneficial owners of interests in a global debt security will not be entitled to have debt securities registered in their names and will not receive physical delivery of debt securities. Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights under the debt securities and the Indenture.

The laws of some jurisdictions may require that some purchasers of securities take physical delivery of securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer or pledge beneficial interests in global debt securities.

DTC is under no obligation to provide its services as depositary for the debt securities of any series and may discontinue providing its services at any time. None of us, the Trustee or any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any debt securities will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants under the rules and procedures governing DTC. As noted above, beneficial owners of interests in global debt securities generally will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the debt securities. However, if:

we will prepare and deliver certificates for the debt securities of that series in exchange for beneficial interests in the global debt securities of that series. Any beneficial interest in a global debt security that is exchangeable under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for debt securities in definitive certificated form registered in the names and in the authorized denominations that the depositary shall direct. It is expected that these directions will be based upon directions received by the depositary from its participants with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the global debt securities.

Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear hold interests on behalf of their participating organizations through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream, Luxembourg’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositaries, which hold those interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books of DTC. At the present time, Citibank, N.A. acts as U.S. depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as U.S. depositary for Euroclear (the “U.S. Depositaries”).

Clearstream, Luxembourg holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Clearstream, Luxembourg provides to Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing.

Clearstream, Luxembourg is registered as a bank in Luxembourg, and as such is subject to regulation by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier and the Banque Centrale du Luxembourg, which supervise and oversee the activities of Luxembourg banks. Clearstream Participants are financial institutions including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and may include any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any debt securities or their respective affiliates. Indirect access to Clearstream, Luxembourg is available to other institutions that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant. Clearstream, Luxembourg has established an electronic bridge with Euroclear as the operator of the Euroclear System (the “Euroclear Operator”) in Brussels to facilitate settlement of trades between Clearstream, Luxembourg and the Euroclear Operator.

Distributions with respect to global debt securities held beneficially through Clearstream, Luxembourg will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream Participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. Depositary for Clearstream, Luxembourg. Euroclear holds securities and book-entry interests in securities for participating organizations (“Euroclear Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Euroclear Participants, and between Euroclear Participants and participants of certain other securities intermediaries through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of such participants or other securities intermediaries. Euroclear provides Euroclear Participants, among other things, with safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement, securities lending and borrowing, and related services. Euroclear Participants are investment banks, securities brokers and dealers, banks, central banks, supranationals, custodians, investment managers, corporations, trust companies and certain other organizations, and may include any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any debt securities or their respective affiliates. Non-participants in Euroclear may hold and transfer beneficial interests in a global debt security through accounts with a participant in the Euroclear System or any other securities intermediary that holds a book-entry interest in a global debt security through one or more securities intermediaries standing between such other securities intermediary and Euroclear.

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. All securities in Euroclear are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

Distributions on interests in global debt securities held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear Participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. Depositary for Euroclear.

Transfers between Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with their respective rules and operating procedures.

Cross-market transfers between direct participants in DTC, on the one hand, and Euroclear Participants or Clearstream Participants, on the other hand, will be effected through DTC in accordance with DTC’s rules on behalf of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by its U.S. Depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, by the counterparty in such system in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures and within the established deadlines (European time) of such system. Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. Depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving interests in global debt securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day fund settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear Participants and Clearstream Participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. Depositaries.

Due to time zone differences, the securities accounts of a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant purchasing an interest in a global debt security from a direct participant in DTC will be credited, and any such crediting will be reported to the relevant Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant, during the securities settlement processing day (which must be a business day for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) immediately following the settlement date of DTC. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as a result of sales of interests in a global debt security by or through a Euroclear Participant or Clearstream Participant to a direct participant in DTC will be received with value on the settlement date of DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg cash account only as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg following DTC’s settlement date.

Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg are under no obligation to perform or to continue to perform the foregoing procedures and such procedures may be discontinued at any time without notice. None of us, the Trustee or any underwriters or agents involved in the offering or sale of any debt securities will have any responsibility for the performance by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or their respective participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

The information in this section concerning DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy of that information.

Redemption and Repurchase

The debt securities of any series may be redeemable at our option, or may be subject to mandatory redemption by us, as required by a sinking fund or otherwise. In addition, the debt securities of any series may be subject to repurchase or repayment by us, at the option of the holders. The accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the terms, the times and the prices regarding any optional or mandatory redemption by us or any repurchase or repayment at the option of the holders of any series of debt securities.

Conversion and Exchange

The terms, if any, on which debt securities of any series are convertible into or exchangeable for our common shares or any other securities or property will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Such terms may include provisions for conversion or exchange, which may be mandatory, at the option of the holders or at our option. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the accompanying prospectus supplement, references in this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement to the conversion or exchange of debt securities of any series for our common stock or other securities or property shall be deemed not to refer to or include any exchange of any debt securities of a series for other debt securities of the same series.

Merger, Consolidation and Transfer of Assets

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the Indenture provides that we will not, directly or indirectly, in any transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with another person (whether or not we are the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease or convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property and assets of us and our subsidiaries taken as a whole, to another person unless:

In the case of any such merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition in which we are not the continuing entity and upon execution and delivery by the successor person of the supplemental indenture described above, such successor person shall succeed to, and be substituted for us and may exercise every right and power of us under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor person had been named as us therein, and we shall be automatically released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the debt securities issued under that indenture.

Events of Default

Unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, any of the following events will be events of default with respect to the debt securities of any series:

No event of default with respect to any particular series of debt securities necessarily constitutes an event of default with respect to any other series of debt securities.

The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive our compliance with the provisions described above under “—Merger, Consolidation and Transfer of Assets” and certain other provisions of the Indenture and, if specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities, any additional covenants applicable to the debt securities of such series. The Indenture also provides that holders of not less than a majority in aggregate of principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may waive an existing default or event of default with respect to the debt securities of such series, except a default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, or sinking fund payments, if any, on debt securities of that series or, in the case of any debt securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities or property, a default in any such conversion or exchange, or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the affected series. As used in this paragraph, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an event of default with respect to the debt securities of any series.

The Indenture also provides that if an event of default (other than an event of default specified in the fourth and fifth bullet points of the third preceding paragraph) occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of debt securities, either the Trustee or the holders of more than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of that series then outstanding may declare the principal of, or if debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of that series of debt securities, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the debt securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. The Indenture also provides that if an event of default specified in the fourth and fifth bullet points of the third preceding paragraph occurs with respect to any series of debt securities, then the principal of, or if debt securities of that series are original issue discount securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of that series of debt securities, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the debt securities of that series will automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any holder of the debt securities of that series. However, upon specified conditions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of a series then outstanding may rescind and annul an acceleration of the debt securities of that series and its consequences.

Subject to the provisions of the TIA requiring the Trustee, during the continuance of an event of default under the Indenture, to act with the requisite standard of care, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities of any series unless those holders have offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities which might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction. Subject to the foregoing, holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series issued under the Indenture have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under the Indenture with respect to that series. The Indenture requires our annual filing with the Trustee of a certificate which states whether or not we are in default under the terms of the Indenture.

No holder of any debt securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the Indenture, unless:

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the holder of a debt security will have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on that debt security on the respective due dates for those payments and, in the case of any debt security which is convertible into or exchangeable for other securities or property, to convert or exchange, as the case may be, that debt security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the enforcement of those payments and any right to effect such conversion or exchange, and this right shall not be impaired without the consent of the holder.

Modification, Waivers and Meetings

From time to time, we and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series issued under the Indenture and affected by a modification or amendment, may modify, amend, supplement or waive compliance with any of the provisions of the Indenture or of the debt securities of the applicable series or the rights of the holders of the debt securities of that series under the Indenture. However, unless otherwise specified in the accompanying prospectus supplement, no such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver may, among other things:

without in each case obtaining the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security issued under the Indenture affected by the modification or amendment.

From time to time, we and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of any debt securities issued under the Indenture, may modify, amend, supplement or waive compliance with any provisions of the Indenture, among other things:

Discharge, Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, upon our direction, the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of debt securities issued under the Indenture specified by us, subject to the survival of specified provisions of the Indenture (including the obligation to pay Additional Amounts, if any, and the obligation, if applicable, to exchange or convert debt securities of that series into other securities or property in accordance with their terms) when

Unless otherwise provided in the accompanying prospectus supplement, we may elect with respect to any series of debt securities and at any time, to have our obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding debt securities of such series (“Legal Defeasance”). Legal Defeasance means that we shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the debt securities of such series, and the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding debt securities of such series, except as to:

In addition, we may, at our option and at any time, elect to have our obligations released with respect to substantially all of the covenants under the Indenture, except as described otherwise in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”), and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a default or event of default with respect to the debt securities of such series. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events of default will no longer constitute an event of default with respect to the debt securities of such series. Covenant Defeasance will not be effective until such bankruptcy events no longer apply. We may exercise our Legal Defeasance option regardless of whether we have previously exercised Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon this opinion of counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the holders and beneficial owners of debt securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

If the funds deposited with the Trustee to effect Covenant Defeasance are insufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the debt securities of such series when due, then our obligations and the obligations of our subsidiaries, if applicable, under the Indenture will be revived and no such defeasance will be deemed to have occurred.

Governing Law

The Indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Regarding the Trustee

We will identify the trustee with respect to any series of debt securities in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. The TIA limits the rights of a trustee, if the trustee becomes a creditor of ours to obtain payment of claims or to realize on property received by it in respect of those claims, as security or otherwise. Any trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions with us and our subsidiaries from time to time. However, if a trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate the conflict upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture or resign as trustee.

The holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee.

If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be required to use the degree of care and skill of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee will become obligated to exercise any of its powers under the Indenture at the request of any of the holders of debt securities only after those holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

The following summarizes the general terms of stock and debt warrants that we may offer. The particular terms of any stock and debt warrants will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement. The description below and in any accompanying prospectus supplement is not complete. You should read the form of warrant agreement and any warrant certificate that we will file with the SEC.

Warrants to Purchase Capital Stock

If we offer stock warrants, the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the stock warrants, including:

The shares of common stock or preferred stock we issue upon exercise of the stock warrants will, when issued in accordance with the stock warrant agreement, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

Exercise of Warrants to Purchase Capital Stock

You may exercise stock warrants by surrendering to the stock warrant agent the stock warrant certificate, which indicates your election to exercise all or a portion of the stock warrants evidenced by the certificate. Surrendered stock warrant certificates must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price in the form of cash or check. The stock warrant agent will deliver certificates evidencing duly exercised stock warrants to the transfer agent. Upon receipt of the certificates, the transfer agent will deliver a certificate representing the number of shares of Common Stock or preferred stock purchased. If you exercise fewer than all the stock warrants evidenced by any certificate, the stock warrant agent will deliver a new stock warrant certificate representing the unexercised stock warrants.

No Rights as Shareholders

Holders of stock warrants are not entitled to vote, to consent, to receive dividends or to receive notice as shareholders with respect to any meeting of shareholders or to exercise any rights whatsoever as our shareholders.

Warrants to Purchase Debt Securities

If we offer debt warrants, the accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the warrants, including:

You may exchange debt warrant certificates for new debt warrant certificates of different denominations and may present debt warrant certificates for registration of transfer at the corporate trust office of the debt warrant agent, which will be listed in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

Exercise of Warrants to Purchase Debt Securities

You may exercise debt warrants by surrendering the debt warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the debt warrant agent, with payment in full of the exercise price. Upon the exercise of debt warrants, the debt warrant agent will, as soon as practicable, deliver the debt securities in authorized denominations in accordance with your instructions and at your sole cost and risk. If less than all the debt warrants evidenced by the debt warrant certificate are exercised, the agent will issue a new debt warrant certificate for the remaining amount of debt warrants.

No Rights as Holders of Debt Securities

Warrantholders do not have any of the rights of holders of debt securities, except to the extent that the consent of warrantholders may be required for certain modifications of the terms of an indenture or form of the debt security, as the case may be, and the series of debt securities issuable upon exercise of the debt warrants. In addition, warrantholders are not entitled to payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the debt securities.

DESCRIPTION OF RIGHTS

We may issue or distribute rights to our shareholders for the purchase of shares of our common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. We may issue rights independently or together with other securities, and the rights may be attached to or separate from any offered or distributed securities and may or may not be transferrable by the shareholder receiving the rights. In connection with any offering of rights, we may enter into a standby underwriting, backstop or other arrangement with one or more underwriters or other persons pursuant to which the underwriters or other persons may agree to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such rights offering. Each series of rights will be issued under a separate rights agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as rights agent, all as set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to the particular issue of rights. The rights agent will act solely as an agent of the Company in connection with the certificates relating to the rights of such series and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of rights certificates or beneficial owners of rights.

The following summary of material provisions of the rights are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the certificates representing rights applicable to a particular series of rights. The terms of any rights offered or distributed under an accompanying prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. We urge you to read the accompanying prospectus supplement as well as the complete certificates representing the rights that contain the terms of the rights. The particular terms of any issue of rights will be described in an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to the issue, and may include:

Each right will entitle the holder of rights to purchase for cash the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock or the principal amount of debt securities at the exercise price provided in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Rights may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date for the rights provided in the accompanying prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, all unexercised rights will be void and of no further force and effect.

Holders may exercise rights as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement. Upon receipt of payment and the rights certificate properly completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the rights agent or any other office indicated in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as practicable, forward the shares of common stock or preferred stock or principal amount of debt securities purchased upon exercise of the rights. If less than all of the rights issued in any rights offering are exercised, we may offer any unsubscribed shares of common stock or preferred stock or principal amount of debt securities directly to persons, which may be to or through agents, underwriters or dealers or through a combination of such methods, including pursuant to standby underwriting arrangements, as described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Until any rights to purchase common stock or preferred stock are exercised, the holders of the any rights will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common stock or preferred stock, including any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock or preferred stock, if any. Until any rights to purchase debt securities are exercised, the holder of any rights will not have any rights of holders of the debt securities that can be purchased upon exercise, including any rights to receive payments of principal, premium or interest on the underlying debt securities or to enforce covenants in the applicable indenture.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

As may be specified in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we may issue units consisting of one or more of our securities registered hereby. An accompanying prospectus supplement will describe:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the securities from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities to or through underwriters or dealers, through agents, through broker-dealers, or directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

We may also sell equity securities covered by this registration statement in an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Such offering may be made into an existing trading market for such securities in transactions at other than a fixed price, either:

Such at-the-market offerings, if any, may be conducted by underwriters acting as principal or agent.

A prospectus supplement or supplements (and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you) will describe the terms of the offering of the securities, including, to the extent applicable:

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We may offer the securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time.

We may sell the securities directly, in which case no underwriters or agents would be involved, or we may sell the securities through agents designated by us from time to time. If agents are used in the sale of the securities, the agent will not purchase any securities for its own account but will arrange for the sale of the securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will be acting on a “best efforts” basis for the period of its appointment. We may negotiate and pay agent’s fees or commissions for their services. If the securities are sold directly by us, we may sell the securities to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to any sale of those securities.

We may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the prospectus supplement.

We may issue the securities as a dividend or distribution or in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders. If we offer securities in a subscription rights offering to our existing security holders, then we may enter into a standby underwriting agreement with dealers, acting as standby underwriters. We may pay the standby underwriters a commitment fee for the securities they commit to purchase on a standby basis. If we do not enter into a standby underwriting arrangement, we may retain a dealer-manager to manage a subscription rights offering for us.

In compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), all discounts, commissions or agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer will be disclosed in an accompanying prospectus supplement.

We may provide agents and underwriters with indemnification against civil liabilities related to this offering, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the agents or underwriters may make with respect to these liabilities. Agents and underwriters may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.

All securities we offer, other than common stock which is listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “FUV,” will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.

Any underwriter may engage in overallotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids. Overallotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids 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 stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time. These transactions may be effected on any exchange or over-the-counter market or otherwise.

Any underwriters who are qualified market makers on The Nasdaq Global Market may engage in passive market making transactions in the securities on The Nasdaq Global Market in accordance with Rule 103 of Regulation M, during the business day prior to the pricing of the offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of the securities. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. The accompanying prospectus supplement may provide that the original issue date for your securities may be more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities. Accordingly, in such a case, if you wish to trade securities on any date prior to the second business day before the original issue date for your securities, you will be required, by virtue of the fact that your securities initially are expected to settle in more than two scheduled business days after the trade date for your securities, to make alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.

The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the accompanying prospectus supplement.

Any underwriters, dealers and agents, and their associates and affiliates may engage in transactions with, or perform services, including investment banking services, for us or one or more of our respective affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation. We will describe in an accompanying prospectus supplement the identity of any such underwriters, dealers and agents and the nature of any such relationships. If at the time of any offering made under this prospectus a member of FINRA participating in the offering has a “conflict of interest” as defined in FINRA’s Rule 5121, that offering will be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of FINRA Rule 5121.

The anticipated date of delivery of offered securities will be set forth in the accompanying prospectus supplement relating to each offer.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in an accompanying prospectus supplement, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for working capital and general corporate purposes. Additional details regarding the use of the net proceeds from any particular sale of our securities will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement. Pending their use, we intend to invest the net proceeds from the sale of our securities in high-quality, short-term, interest-bearing securities.

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity of the securities being offered hereby will be passed upon by Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP.

INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE

The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information into this prospectus, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to another document filed separately with the SEC. The information incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. Because we are incorporating by reference future filings with the SEC, this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement are continually updated and those future filings may modify or supersede some of the information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus supplement. This means that you must look at all of the SEC filings that we incorporate by reference to determine if any of the statements in this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement or in any document previously incorporated by reference have been modified or superseded.

Unless specifically stated to the contrary, none of the information that we may furnish to the SEC under Items 2.02 and 7.01 of any Current Report on Form 8-K, including any related exhibits under Item 9.01, will be incorporated by reference into, or otherwise included in, this prospectus.
