This prospectus relates to the potential resale from time to time of some or all of the 29,483,101 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Cano Health, Inc. that have been issued or that are issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders identified in this prospectus. The warrants were issued by us to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2023, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent and transfer agent, which is referred to herein as the Warrant Agreement.

The registration of the shares of Class A common stock covered by this prospectus does not mean that the selling stockholders will offer or sell all or any of the shares. The shares of Class A common stock offered hereby by the selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest, may be sold from time to time directly or indirectly through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, and in one or more public or private transactions. The shares of Class A common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions. If the shares of Class A common stock are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions. The timing and amount of any sale is within the sole discretion of the selling stockholders, subject to certain restrictions. See the section entitled “Plan of Distribution” for more information.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the warrants. The warrants provide for the selling stockholders to exercise the warrants on a “cashless basis” that, if elected by the selling stockholders, will reduce the number of shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants in lieu of cash payment. See the section entitled “Use of Proceeds.”

Our Class A common stock and warrants are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, under the symbols “CANO” and “CANO WS,” respectively. On March 14, 2023, the closing price for our Class A common stock, as reported on the NYSE, was $1.23 per share.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus contains and/or incorporates by reference statements that are not historical facts and are considered forward-looking within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this prospectus may include, for example, statements about:

 

•

our history of net losses and our ability to achieve or maintain profitability in an environment of increasing expenses, such as (a) our belief that our contracted recurring revenue model offers us highly predictable revenue and rewards us for providing high-quality care, rather than driving a high volume of services; (b) our belief that in this capitated arrangement, our goals are well-aligned with payors and patients alike in that the more we improve health outcomes, the more profitable we will be over time; and (c) our belief that our selling, general and administrative expenses will decrease as a percentage of revenue over the long-term, although they may fluctuate as a percentage of revenue from period to period due to the timing and amount of these expenses;

 

•

our financial and business performance, including our ability to execute our business plan, such as (a) our belief that we represent an attractive opportunity for payors to meaningfully improve their overall membership growth in a given market without assuming any financial downside; and (b) our belief that our affiliate model is an important growth avenue as it serves as a feeder into our acquisition pipeline, enabling us to evaluate and target affiliated practices for acquisition based on our operational experience with them;

•

the risk that we may not be able to procure sufficient space on terms that are acceptable to us or that the costs of procuring and outfitting such space becomes uneconomical, such as due to the prevailing difficult conditions in the global supply chain environment;

changes in our future capital requirements which depend on many factors, including our growth rate, medical expenses and/or our review of all aspects of our value-based care platform; (c) our expectation that our net cash used in investing activities will be less in 2023 due to a significant reduction in spending on de novo medical centers; (d) our expectation that our interest expense will increase by approximately $18.0 million in 2023 driven by the 2023 Term Loan; and (e) our expectation that we will be compliant with the quarterly financial covenant calculation under the credit agreement dated as of February 24, 2023 for all quarters in 2023;

(No. 1:22-cv-20827) and our plans to vigorously defend against such action; and (b) our expectation that the resolution of various other asserted and unasserted potential claims encountered in the normal course of business will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows; and

 

•

Management’s estimates and judgments regarding our deferred tax assets, and that such assets may not be realized in future periods in amounts equal to their recorded amounts, which could results in adjustments to our valuation allowances and provision for income taxes, and our belief that it is not more-likely-than-not that all of our deferred tax assets will be realized and our belief that no tax uncertainties exist with respect to our having analyzed filing positions in the Federal, State, local and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns for all open tax years.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at the time of this prospectus and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts, which are based on many detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict the impact of known or unknown factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our other SEC filings and public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this prospectus in the context of these risks and uncertainties. We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this prospectus are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement before making an investment decision. The risks described in these documents are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flow could be materially adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment. Please also carefully read the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

USE OF PROCEEDS

This prospectus relates to the potential resale from time to time of some or all of the 29,483,101 shares of our Class A common stock that have been issued or that are issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders. The warrants were issued by us to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and are exercisable by the selling stockholders at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants will expire on February 24, 2028.

The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from any sale of such shares. We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders. However, we will receive proceeds from any cash exercise of the warrants. The warrants provide for the selling stockholders to exercise the warrants on a “cashless basis” in certain circumstances that, if elected by the selling stockholders, will reduce the number of shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants in lieu of cash payment.

Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class A common stock, as such, will have no voting power with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL.

Dividend rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors, or the Board, out of funds legally available therefor.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to share ratably in all net assets, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A common stock, then outstanding, if any.

Other rights. The holders of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class A common stock will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future.

Class B Common Stock

Each holder of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Class B common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of the Company’s capital stock). Holders of

 

9

shares of Class B common stock will vote together with holders of the Class A common stock as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Class B common stock, as such, will have no voting power pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation with respect to, and will not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that alters or changes the powers, preferences, rights or other terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

Dividend rights. The holders of the Class B common stock will not participate in any dividends declared by the Board.

The Company will not issue additional shares of Class B common stock other than in connection with the valid issuance of common units of PCIH in accordance with the governing documents of PCIH.

Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that shares of Company preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is authorized to establish the voting rights, if any, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series of Company preferred stock. The Board is able to, without stockholder approval, issue Company preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of the Board to issue Company preferred stock without stockholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or the removal of existing management.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on the common stock to date and does not intend to pay cash dividends. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon the Company’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any cash dividends will be within the discretion of the Board at such time. The Company’s ability to declare dividends may also be limited by restrictive covenants pursuant to any debt financing agreements.

Lock-Up Restrictions

10

combination with Jaws Acquisition Corp. on June 3, 2021, or the Business Combination, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 11, 2020 (as amended), by and among Jaws Acquisition Corp., Jaws Merger Sub, LLC, PCIH, and PCIH’s sole member, Primary Care (ITC) Holdings, LLC.

Listing of Securities

Our Class A common stock and public warrants are listed on the NYSE under the symbols “CANO” and “CANO WS,” respectively.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the common stock and the warrant agent for the warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law

Classified Board of Directors

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board is divided into three classes of directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible, and with each director serving a 3-year term. As a result, with 9 directorships, approximately one-third of the Board will be elected each year. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for stockholders to change the composition of the Board.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

The authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the NYSE’s listing standards. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate finance transactions, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of the Company’s common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

Stockholder Action; Special Meetings of Stockholders

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders at any annual or special meeting, may not be effected by written consent, and must be effected at an annual or special meetings of stockholders. As a result, a holder controlling a majority of the Company’s capital stock would not be able to amend the By-laws or remove directors without holding a meeting of stockholders called in accordance with the By-laws. This restriction does not apply to actions taken by the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Company to the extent expressly provided in the applicable preferred stock designation. Further, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that, subject to any special rights of the holders of the Company’s preferred stock, only a majority of the total number of authorized directors may call special meetings of stockholders, thus prohibiting a holder of the Company’s common stock from calling a special meeting. These provisions might delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or for stockholders controlling a majority of the Company’s capital stock to take any action, including the removal of directors.

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations

The By-laws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at its annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice will need to be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Company’s principal executive offices not less than on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on

 

11

the 120th day, prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting. If the date of the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the 90th day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or, the 10th day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Company. The Company’s By-laws also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders’ notice. These provisions may preclude the Company’s stockholders from bringing matters before its annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for directors at its annual meeting of stockholders.

Amendment of Charter or By-laws

The By-laws may be amended or repealed by the Board or by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all of the shares of the Company’ s capital stock entitled to vote on such amendment or repeal, voting as one class. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company’ s capital stock entitled to vote thereon as a class, and the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class entitled to vote thereon as a class, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation.

Board Vacancies

Any vacancy on the Board may be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority vote of the directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director, subject to any special rights of the holders of the Company’ s preferred stock. Any director chosen to fill a vacancy will hold office until the expiration of the term of the class for which they were elected and until their successor is duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation, removal from office, death or incapacity. Except as otherwise provided by law, in the event of a vacancy in the Board, the remaining directors may exercise the powers of the full Board until the vacancy is filled.

Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

The Company is not governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company’s directors and officers will be indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by law as it now exists or may in the future be amended. In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company’s directors will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duty as directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The Certificate of Incorporation also permits the Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any officer, director or employee of the Company for any liability arising out of their status as such, regardless of whether the DGCL would permit indemnification.

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against the Company’s directors and/or officers for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit the Company and its stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent the Company pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to the Company directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements provide that we shall indemnify each of our directors and such officers to the fullest extent permitted by law and our Certificate of Incorporation and our By-laws. We also maintain a general liability insurance policy, which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of ours arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the potential resale from time to time of some or all of the 29,483,101 shares of our Class A common stock that have been issued or that are issuable upon exercise of the warrants held by the selling stockholders. The warrants were issued by us to the selling stockholders pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. The Company and the selling stockholders entered into the Warrant Agreement in connection with the consummation of a senior secured term loan to us from the selling stockholders in the aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million. The selling stockholders may exercise the warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 29,483,101 shares of our Class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The warrants will expire on February 24, 2028.

The information presented regarding the selling stockholders is based, in part, on information the selling stockholders provided to us specifically for use in this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.” We may supplement this prospectus from time to time in the future to update or change the selling stockholders list and the number of shares of Class A common stock that may be offered and sold by the selling stockholders. The registration for resale of the shares of Class A common stock does not necessarily mean that the selling stockholders will sell all or any of these shares. In addition, the selling stockholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, shares of Class A common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, after the date on which it provided the information set forth in the table below.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the table below is determined in accordance with the SEC’s rules and regulations. These rules generally provide that a person is the beneficial owner of securities if such person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting thereof, or to dispose or direct the disposition thereof or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the names of the selling stockholders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned, the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that the selling stockholders may offer pursuant to this prospectus and the number of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders after the sale of the securities offered hereby. Because the selling stockholders are not obligated to sell the shares of Class A common stock, we cannot estimate the amount of the shares of Class A common stock that the selling stockholders will hold upon consummation of any such sales. For purposes of the following table, we have assumed the sale of all of the shares of Class A common stock that may be offered for sale pursuant to this prospectus. Percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 264,174,645 shares of Class A common stock and 264,003,919 shares of Class B common stock outstanding as of March 13, 2023. Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act, the prospectus also covers any additional shares of our Class A common stock that may become issuable in connection with shares of Class A common stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or other similar transaction effected without our receiving any cash or other value, which results in an increase in the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding.

Diameter Capital Partners LP is the investment manager (the “Investment Manager”) of each of Diameter Master Fund LP, Diameter Dislocation Master Fund LP and Diameter Dislocation Master Fund II LP and, therefore, has investment and voting power over the Common Stock owned by such entities.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of Class A common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time, in one or more transactions, directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. As used in this prospectus, the term “selling stockholders” includes any donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest of the selling stockholders after the date of this prospectus. If the shares of Class A common stock are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers, or agents, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions. The shares of Class A common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at negotiated prices or such other price as the selling stockholders determines from time to time. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

 

•

on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the shares of Class A common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

 

•

in the over-the-counter market;

 

•

in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

•

through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

•

through one or more underwritten offerings on a firm commitment or best efforts basis;

 

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares of Class A common stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

•

•

•

•

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

•

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Class A common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of Class A common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effects such transactions by selling shares of Class A common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of Class A common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of Class A common stock, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of Class A common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of Class A common stock short and deliver shares of Class A

common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of Class A common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Class A common stock owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Class A common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of Class A common stock in other circumstances in which case the pledgees, transferees, donees, or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At a time a particular offering of shares of our Class A common stock is made, an additional prospectus supplement, if required, may be distributed that will set forth the number of shares of our Class A common stock being offered, the method of distribution and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price paid by any underwriter and any discount. In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the shares of our Class A common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states shares of our Class A common stock may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Class A common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Class A common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Class A common stock.

To the extent applicable, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We will not receive any proceeds from sales of any shares of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders.

We cannot assure you that the selling stockholders will sell all or any portion of the shares of Class A common stock offered hereby. We are registering the resale of shares of our Class A common stock to provide the selling stockholders with freely tradable securities, but the registration of such shares does not necessarily mean that any of such shares will be offered or sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus or at all.

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended and/or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.
