EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-278831) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) of Massimo Group (the “Company”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC” or the “Commission”) to amend the Registration Statement to include in Part I of the Registration Statement a prospectus (the “Reoffer Prospectus”) pursuant to General Instruction C of Form S-8, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part I of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). As a filing fee was paid by the Company under the original Registration Statement in connection with the registration of the securities offered under the Reoffer Prospectus, no additional registration fee is required to add these securities to the Reoffer Prospectus pursuant to Rule 457(h)(3) under the Securities Act.
This Reoffer Prospectus may be used for reoffers and resales of common stock of the Company on a continuous or delayed basis that may be deemed to be “control securities” under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, that are issuable to certain employees, directors and/or officers of the Company or its subsidiaries identified in the Reoffer Prospectus, as supplemented, who are, or may be deemed to be, “affiliates” of the Company within the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act (the “Selling Stockholders”). The number of shares of common stock of the Company included in the Reoffer Prospectus represents common stock issued to the Selling Stockholders, and does not necessarily represent a present intention to sell any or all such common stock.
Pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, we may supplement the Reoffer Prospectus from time to time with the names of additional selling stockholders and/or amounts of common stock, if any, to be reoffered or resold by such selling stockholders as that information becomes known. All other portions of the Registration Statement, as previously filed, remain unchanged.
PART I
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS
The information specified in Part I of Form S-8 is omitted from this Registration Statement in accordance with the provisions of Rule 428 under the Securities Act and the introductory note to Part I of Form S-8.

INDUSTRY AND MARKET DATA
Unless otherwise indicated, information contained in this Reoffer Prospectus concerning our industry and the market in which we operate, including our market position, market opportunity and market size, is based on information from various sources, on assumptions that we have made based on such data and other similar sources and on our knowledge of the markets for our products. These data sources involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
We have not independently verified any third-party information. While we believe the market position, market opportunity and market size information included in this Reoffer Prospectus is generally reliable, such information is may be imprecise. In addition, projections, assumptions and estimates of our future performance and the future performance of the industry in which we operate is necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Reoffer Prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates made by the independent parties and by us.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Reoffer Prospectus contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements contained in this Reoffer Prospectus other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, projected costs and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “should,” “shall,” “intend,” “goal,” “objective,” “seek,” “expect,” and similar expressions or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions that concern our expectations, strategy, plans, or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including but not limited to:
| ● | our limited operating history on which to judge our performance and assess our prospects for future success; |
| ● | risks related to our reliance on a network of independent dealers and distributors to manage the retail distribution of many of our products; |
| ● | our reliance on third-party manufacturers and supplies for our products; |
| ● | risks related to the fact that the majority of the products we purchase are manufactured by suppliers in China and their operations are subject to risks associated with business operations in China; |
| ● | the inexperience of our principal shareholder and senior management in operating a publicly traded company; |
| ● | economic conditions that impact consumer spending may have a material adverse effect on our business; |
| ● | results of operations or financial condition; |
| ● | risks related to facing intense competition in all product lines, including from some competitors that have greater financial and marketing resources; |
| ● | risks related to our ability to attract and retain key personnel; |
| ● | potential harm caused by misappropriation of our data and compromises in cybersecurity; |
| ● | changes in laws, regulatory requirements, governmental incentives and fuel and energy prices; |
| ● | litigation, regulatory proceedings, complaints, product liability claims and/or adverse publicity; |
| ● | the inability of our dealers, customers and distributors to secure adequate access to capital or financing; |
| ● | failure to develop brand name and reputation; |
| ● | the significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims or product recalls; |
| ● | the impact of health epidemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic, on our business; and |
| ● | the other matters described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” |
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors 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 may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Reoffer Prospectus may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, we undertake no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Reoffer Prospectus, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and you are cautioned not to unduly rely upon these statements.
You should read this Reoffer Prospectus and the documents that we reference in this Reoffer Prospectus and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this Reoffer Prospectus is a part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Reoffer Prospectus by these cautionary statements.
REOFFER PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this Reoffer Prospectus or incorporated by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read this Reoffer Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) carefully, especially “Risk Factors” and the financial statements and related notes thereto, and the other information incorporated by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus.

The Company
We believe we are a leading company in the Mid-Tier Band of the powersports vehicles and boats industry in the United States, which comprises the All-Terrain Vehicle (“ATV”), Utility-Terrain Vehicle (“UTV”), and pontoon and tritoon boats (“Pontoon Boats”) subsectors (the “Powersports Vehicles and Boats Industry”). “Mid-Tier Band” means the mid-tier band of the Powersports Vehicles and Boats Industry, which our management considers to be those manufacturers that produce a wide range of products that cater to customer needs but do not yet have the international operations and market share of the Top-Tier Band (as defined below) of the Powersports Vehicles and Boats Industry. “Top-Tier Band” means the top-tier band of the Powersports Vehicles and Boats Industry, which our management considers to include companies such as Polaris, Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), Arctic Cat, Honda, and Yamaha with international operations and large market shares.
In 2020, we became one of the 15 largest Pontoon Boats manufacturers in Texas. Our emphasis on providing the sports enthusiast with powerful, affordable, and reliable products has enabled us to grow annual revenues and net income to in excess of $115 million and $10 million, respectively, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
We manufacture, import and distribute a diversified portfolio of products divided into two main lines: (1) UTVs, ATVs, motorcycles, scooters, golf carts and a juvenile line from go karts to balance bikes; and (2) recreational Pontoon Boats. In 2009, we began by distributing electric scooters, our first product. Since that time, we have successfully entered the market for motorcycles, UTVs, ATVs, golf carts and Pontoon Boats, as well as a juvenile line from go karts to balance bikes and snow equipment. We have also been developing new product lines, such as electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers, electric coolers, power stations, portable solar panels and electric Pontoon Boats, all of which are currently available for sale. In addition to distributing our products, we intend to provide unparalleled customer service which includes over 600 motor vehicles and 5,500 marine third-party service providers across the United States, 24-hour customer support and an approximately 40,000 sq. ft. parts facility which enables us to fulfill most parts orders within 48 hours. We seek to provide our customers with reliable, high-quality products at great value.
We currently generates most of our revenues from the sales of UTVs and ATVs, which represent 89.8% and 90.2% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
We are headquartered in a 376,000 sq. ft. facility. Our facility is adjacent to seven acres for boat storage in Dallas, Texas, which houses a design center, two assembly lines, our parts department, a test track, dyno and over 30 loading docks. Our products are sold directly by us, in the e-commerce marketplace, and through a network of dealerships, distributors, and chain stores. We have a significant in-store UTV retail partnership with Tractor Supply Co.

Our principal executive offices are located at 3101 W Miller Rod, Garland, TX 75041, our telephone number is (877) 881-6376, and our Internet website address is https://massimo-group.com/. The information on our website is not a part of, or incorporated in, this Reoffer Prospectus.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified exemptions from various requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to U.S. public companies. These provisions include:
| ● | an exemption that allows the inclusion in an initial public offering registration statement of only two years of audited financial statements and selected financial data and only two years of related disclosure; |
| ● | reduced executive compensation disclosure; |
| ● | exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and any golden parachute payments not previously approved; |
| ● | an exemption from compliance with the requirement of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the communication of critical audit matters in the auditor’s report on the financial statements; and |
| ● | an exemption from the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. |
The JOBS Act also permits an emerging growth company such as us to delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards are applicable to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with certain new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced reporting burdens.
We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of:
| ● | the last day of our fiscal year during which we have total annual revenue of at least $1.235 billion; |
| ● | the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering; or |
| ● | the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; |

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus though underwriters or dealers, directly to purchasers (or a single purchaser) or through broker-dealers or agents.

Summary of Risk Factors
Investing in our securities entails a high degree of risk as more fully described under “Risk Factors,” and the risk factors contained in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus or contained in any applicable supplement. You should carefully consider such risks before deciding to invest in our securities.
RISK FACTORS
Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024 and incorporated by reference herein, and the risk factors contained in the other documents that are filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference in this Reoffer Prospectus or contained in any applicable supplement. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks. The trading price and value of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. This Reoffer Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this Reoffer Prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The common stock to be offered and sold using this Reoffer Prospectus will be offered and sold by the Selling Stockholders named in this Reoffer Prospectus. Accordingly, we will not receive any proceeds from any sale or disposition of shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus.
DILUTION
Because the Selling Stockholders who offer and sell common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus may do so at various times, at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price, or in negotiated transactions, we have not included in this Reoffer Prospectus information about the dilution (if any) to the public arising from these sales.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
This Reoffer Prospectus relates to the offer and sale, from time to time, by the Selling Stockholders named herein, or their permitted transferees, of up to 184,334 shares of our common stock, issued to the Selling Stockholders under the Plan.
The following table sets forth the names of the Selling Stockholders, the number of shares of common stock owned by each of them as of the date of this Reoffer Prospectus, the maximum number of shares of common stock that they may offer pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus, and the number and percentage of shares of common stock to be beneficially owned by each Selling Stockholder assuming all of the shares of common stock which may be offered by such Selling Stockholders pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus are sold.
We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Stockholders will in fact sell any or all of their common stock. The Selling Stockholders may offer all or part of the common stock for resale from time to time through public or private transactions, at fixed prices, prevailing market prices at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, varying prices determined at the time of sale or negotiated prices. Because the Selling Stockholders may offer all, some or none of their securities, no definitive estimate as to the number of shares of common stock that will be held by the Selling Stockholders after an offering can be provided. The Selling Stockholders may sell any, all or none of the shares offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. See “Plan of Distribution.” We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock sold by the Selling Stockholders.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Therefore, beneficial ownership of the common stock by each Selling Stockholder includes common stock that is currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within sixty (60) days.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to common stock beneficially owned by them.
Selling Stockholders information for each additional Selling Stockholders, if any, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the extent required prior to the time of any offer or sale of such Selling Stockholder’s common stock pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus. Any prospectus supplement may add, update, substitute, or change the information contained in this Reoffer Prospectus, including the identity of each Selling Stockholders and the number of shares of common stock registered on its behalf.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We are registering the common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus to permit the Selling Stockholders to conduct public secondary trading of the common stock from time to time after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus. As used herein, references to “Selling Stockholders” includes donees, pledgees, transferees, distributees or other successors-in-interest selling common stock of Company received after the date of this Reoffer Prospectus from a Selling Stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer.
We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The aggregate proceeds to the Selling Stockholders from the sale of the common stock will be the purchase price of the common stock less any discounts and commissions. We will not pay any brokers’ or underwriters’ discounts and commissions in connection with the registration and sale of the common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Stockholders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by them for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by them in disposing of the common stock. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, including all registration and filing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm. The Selling Stockholders reserve the right to accept and, together with their respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchases of the common stock to be made directly or through agents.
The common stock offered by this Reoffer Prospectus may be sold from time to time to purchasers:
● directly by the Selling Stockholders;
● through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, commissions or agent’s commissions from the Selling Stockholders or the purchasers of the common stock; or
● through a combination of any of these methods of sale.
Any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who participate in the sale or distribution of the common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act. As a result, any discounts, commissions or concessions received by any such broker-dealer or agents who are deemed to be underwriters will be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Underwriters are subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and may be subject to certain statutory liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Selling Stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker, dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the common stock against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the shares arising under the Securities Act. We will make copies of this Reoffer Prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. To our knowledge, there are currently no plans, arrangements or understandings between the Selling Stockholders and any underwriter, broker-dealer or agent regarding the sale of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders.
The common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at:
● fixed prices;
● prevailing market prices at the time of sale;
● prices related to such prevailing market prices;
● varying prices determined at the time of sale; or
● negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in one or more transactions:
● on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, including Nasdaq;
● in the over-the-counter market;
● in transactions otherwise than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market;
● through trading plans entered into by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
● any other method permitted by applicable law; or
● through any combination of the foregoing.
These transactions may include block transactions or crosses. Crosses are transactions in which the same broker acts as an agent on both sides of the trade.
At the time a particular offering of the common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the name of the Selling Stockholders, the aggregate amount of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including, to the extent required, (1) the name or names of any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, (2) any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the Selling Stockholders, and (3) any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed to be paid to broker-dealers.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this Reoffer Prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell our common stock, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this Reoffer Prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Stockholder.
The Selling Stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each resale or other transfer. There can be no assurance that the Selling Stockholders will sell any or all the common stock under this Reoffer Prospectus. Further, we cannot assure you that the Selling Stockholders will not transfer, distribute, devise or gift the common stock by other means not described in this Reoffer Prospectus. In addition, any common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus that qualify for sale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this Reoffer Prospectus. The common stock may be sold in some states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in the sale of the common stock will be subject to the Exchange Act. The Exchange Act rules include, without limitation, Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other person. In addition, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the particular securities being distributed. This may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the common stock.
Once sold under the registration statement of which this Reoffer Prospectus forms a part, the common stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws limit the directors’ liability and may indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) NRS 78.7502-NRS 78.751.
Nevada law, NRS 78.138, provides that the Company’s directors and officers will not be personally liable to us, our stockholders or our creditors for damages for any act or omission in his or her capacity as a director or officer other than in circumstances where the director or officer breaches his or her fiduciary duty to us or our stockholders and such breach involves intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law and the trier of fact determines that the presumption that he or she acted in good faith, on an informed basis and with a view to the interests of the corporation has been rebutted, or with respect to payment of dividends in violation of the NRS. Nevada law allows the articles of incorporation of a corporation to provide for greater liability of the corporation’s directors and officers. As permitted by Nevada law and our articles of incorporation, our bylaws also provide that directors and officers will be personally liable to us, our stockholders or our creditors for damages for breach of fiduciary duty resulting from the payment of dividends in violation of NRS 78.300.
Nevada law allows a corporation to indemnify officers and directors for actions pursuant to which a director or officer either would not be liable pursuant to the limitation of liability provisions of Nevada law or where he or she acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, in the case of an action not by or in the right of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
As permitted by Nevada law or our articles of incorporation, our bylaws (a) include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors or officers for damages resulting from certain breaches of fiduciary duties as a director or officer; (b) require the Company to indemnify any officer or director and (c) require us to advance expenses of the indemnitee to the extent and as required (and in the discretion of the Board of Directors, as allowed) in the articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation require that our directors and officers be indemnified against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in a settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the indemnitee in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative.
The effect of these provisions is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of fiduciary duties as a director or officer.
These limitations of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or recession.
We have obtained a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which our directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
The Exhibits listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index are filed as a part of, or incorporated by reference into, this Registration Statement. (See Exhibit Index below).
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act of, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be in the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
