PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information included elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing. You should read and carefully consider the entire prospectus, especially the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our common stock.
Overview
We are a biotechnology company focused on the development of emavusertib (CA-4948), an orally available, small molecule inhibitor of Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase, or IRAK4 and FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 or FLT3. Emavusertib is currently being evaluated in the TakeAim Lymphoma Phase 1/2 study (CA-4948-101) in patients with relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma, or PCNSL, in combination with ibrutinib, a Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor or BTK inhibitor and in our recently initiated TakeAim CLL study, a Phase 2 combination study of emavusertib in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL, with zanubrutinib, a BTK inhibitor. Our monotherapy and combination studies of emavusertib in AML are substantially complete. Emavusertib has received Orphan Drug Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of PCNSL, AML and MDS and from the European Commission for the treatment of PCNSL. We, through our 2015 collaboration with Aurigene Discovery Technologies Limited, or Aurigene, have the exclusive license to emavusertib.
Company Information
We were organized as a Delaware corporation in February 2000. Our principal executive offices are located at 128 Spring Street, Building C - Suite 500, Lexington, Massachusetts 02421, and our telephone number is (617) 503-6500. Our website is located at www.curis.com. The information contained in, or that can be accessed through, our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus and should not be considered to be a part of this prospectus. Our website address is included as an inactive textual reference only.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
We are a "smaller reporting company," meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates was less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter and our annual revenue was less than $100 million during our most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter or (ii) our annual revenue was less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million measured on the last business day of our second fiscal quarter. For so long as we remain a smaller reporting company, we are permitted and intend to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure and other requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not smaller reporting companies.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in this prospectus, and under similar headings in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the common stock being registered pursuant to this registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our common stock, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INDUSTRY DATA
This prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act. For purposes of these statutes, any statement contained in this prospectus or in the documents we incorporate by reference herein, other than a statement of historical fact, may be a forward-looking statement, including without limitation statements regarding the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; statements concerning product research, development and commercialization plans, timelines and anticipated results; statements of expectation or belief; statements with respect to clinical trials and studies; statements with respect to royalties and milestones; statements with respect to the therapeutic potential of drug candidates; expectations of revenue, expenses, earnings or losses from operations, or other financial results; and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, in some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by such terms as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "opportunity," "expect," "focus," "intend," "may," "mission," "plan," "potential," "project," "seek," "should," "likelihood," "strategy," "will," "would" or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements about:
| · | the initiation, timing, progress and results of future preclinical studies and clinical trials, and our research and development program for emavusertib; |
| · | our estimates of the period in which we anticipate that existing cash and cash equivalents will enable us to fund our current and planned operations; |
| · | our ability to continue as a going concern; |
| · | our ability to obtain additional financing; |
| · | our ability to establish and maintain collaborations; |
| · | our plans to develop and commercialize emavusertib; |
| · | the timing or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals; |
6
| · | the implementation of our business model and strategic plans for our business, drug candidate and technology; |
| · | our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue and capital requirements; |
| · | developments and projections relating to our competitors and our industry; |
| · | our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy; |
| · | the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our products; |
| · | our ability to regain and maintain compliance with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; |
| · | our competitive position; and |
| · | our intellectual property position. |
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. We therefore caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are referenced in the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors." You should also carefully review the risk factors, risk factor summary and cautionary statements described in the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, specifically our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our Current Reports on Form 8-K. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
You should consider these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference herein as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference herein, we do not assume, and specifically disclaim, any obligation to do so, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
7
This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein include statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys, and studies conducted by third parties as well as our own estimates. All of the market data used in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein involve a number of assumptions and limitations, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such data. Industry publications and third-party research, surveys, and studies generally indicate that their information has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, although they do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. Our estimates of the potential market opportunities for emavusertib include several key assumptions based on our industry knowledge, industry publications, third-party research, and other surveys, which may be based on a small sample size and may fail to accurately reflect market opportunities. While we believe that our internal assumptions are reasonable, no independent source has verified such assumptions.
8
USE OF PROCEEDS
We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to permit the holders of the shares of our common stock described in the section entitled "Selling Stockholders" to resell such shares. We are not selling any securities under this prospectus and we will not receive any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of our common stock held by the selling stockholders. We will receive the proceeds from any exercise of the October 2026 Warrants for cash, if any.
The selling stockholders will pay discounts, commissions and fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals incurred by the selling stockholders in disposing of these shares. We will bear all other costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, including filing and printing fees, our counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the shares covered by this prospectus for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
Securities Purchase Agreement
In October 2026, we entered into securities purchase agreements, or the Purchase Agreements, with the selling stockholders for the purchase and sale of 2,574,517 shares of Common Stock and in lieu of common stock to certain selling stockholders, October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 14,092,163 shares of Common Stock and October 2026 Common Warrants to purchase up to 16,666,680 shares of Common Stock at an effective combined price of $0.51 per October 2026 Share and accompanying October 2026 Common Warrant (or $0.50 per October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying October 2026 Common Warrant).
October 2026 Common Warrants and October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants
The October 2026 Common Warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 per share, will be exercisable on April 19, 2027 and will expire on April 19, 2032. The October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 per share and are exercisable immediately until exercised in full.
Under the terms of the October 2026 Warrants, we may not effect the exercise of any October 2026 Warrant, and the selling stockholders will not have the right to exercise any portion of any October 2026 Warrant if, upon giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholder (together with its affiliates) would exceed 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such warrant, which percentage may be increased at the selling stockholders' election upon 61 days' notice to us subject to the terms of such warrants, provided that such percentage may in no event exceed 19.99%. To the extent that specified beneficial ownership limitations described above restrict the exercise of the October 2026 Common Warrants, a selling stockholder may choose, in lieu of receiving shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such October 2026 Common Warrants, to receive an pre-funded warrant to purchase an identical number of shares of Common Stock it would have received upon the exercise of its October 2026 Common Warrant, except that the applicable exercise price of the applicable October 2026 Common Warrant will instead be the exercise price less $0.01 per share.
In certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction (as described in the October 2026 Warrants) and generally including any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our Common Stock, the sale, lease, license, assignment, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person in which we are not the surviving entity, the acquisition of more than 67% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 67% of the voting power of our outstanding Common Stock and in connection with such transaction our Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property), the holders of October 2026 Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of such warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
10
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, upon certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the October 2026 Common Warrants will have the right to require us or a successor entity to repurchase such Common Warrants at their value determined using a Black Scholes option pricing formula; provided that if (i) the fundamental transaction is not approved by our Board of Directors, and therefore not within our control, or (ii) the alternate consideration payable to holders of Common Stock in such fundamental transaction consists of equity securities of the successor or acquirer that are quoted or listed on a nationally recognized securities exchange, then the holder of such warrants will only be entitled to receive from us or the successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion), determined based on the value of such warrant using a Black Scholes option pricing formula, that is being offered and paid to the holders of Common Stock in connection with the fundamental transaction.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the October 2026 Private Placement, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders, or the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to register for resale the Common Stock and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the October 2026 Warrants, or the Registrable Securities, no later than 30 days following the closing date of the October 2026 Private Placement. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable and to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier of the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold or can be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereof) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. This registration statement is being filed to satisfy our obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement. We have agreed to be responsible for all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.
11
Selling Stockholders
This prospectus covers the sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of up to 33,333,360 shares of our Common Stock consisting of (i) 2,574,517 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01, (ii) 14,092,163 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, and (iii) 16,666,680 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding October 2026 Common Warrants (or, in certain circumstances, pre-funded warrants), without giving effect to any beneficial ownership limitations described above.
The shares of Common Stock covered hereby may be offered from time to time by each selling stockholder, provided that the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the October 2026 Warrants may only be offered after such applicable warrants are exercised by the selling stockholder. We cannot predict when or whether any of the selling stockholders will exercise their October 2026 Warrants.
The table below sets forth, to our knowledge, information concerning the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders as of October 20, 2026. The information in the table below with respect to the selling stockholders has been obtained from the respective selling stockholders. When we refer to the "selling stockholders" in this prospectus, or, if required, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we mean the selling stockholders listed in the table below as offering shares, as well as their respective donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest. Throughout this prospectus, when we refer to the shares of our Common Stock being registered on behalf of the selling stockholders, we are referring to the shares of our Common Stock consisting of (i) 2,574,517 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01, (ii) 14,092,163 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of October 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants, and (iii) 16,666,680 shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the October 2026 Common Warrants (or, in certain circumstances, pre-funded warrants), without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitations described above. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of the shares of Common Stock subject to this prospectus. See "Plan of Distribution" below as it may be supplemented and amended from time to time.
The number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned prior to the offering for each selling stockholder includes (i) all shares of our Common Stock held by such selling stockholder as of October 20, 2026 or such shares the selling stockholder has the right to acquire within 60 days of October 20, 2026, and (ii) all shares issuable upon the exercise of the October 2026 Warrants held by such selling stockholder, in each case, without giving effect to the beneficial ownership limitations described above. The percentages of shares owned before and after the offering are based on 6,679,229 shares of common stock outstanding as of October 20, 2026, and 30,758,843 shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Warrants.
12
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to our Common Stock. Generally, a person "beneficially owns" shares of our common stock if the person has or shares with others the right to vote those shares or to dispose of them, or if the person has the right to acquire voting or disposition rights within 60 days. The inclusion of any shares in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for any selling stockholder named below.

Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. Upon any exercise of the warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price of the warrants.
The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealers or underwriters, and any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
23
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates. In addition, 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 have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part to remain continuously effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with such registration statement or (2) the date on which all of the shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, and our certificate of incorporation and by-laws.
Section 145 of the DGCL provides, generally, that a corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (except actions by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against all expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. A corporation may similarly indemnify such person for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in the case of claims, issues and matters as to which such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that a court shall have determined, upon application, that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all of the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
2
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides, generally, that our certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director or officer to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, provided that such provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of (i) a director or officer for any breach of the director's or officer's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, (ii) a director or officer for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director under Section 174 of the DGCL, (iv) a director or officer for any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation. No such provision may eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when such provision became effective.
Article Sixth of our certificate of incorporation provides that no director shall be personally liable to us or any of our stockholders for any monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director of Curis, except to the extent that the DGCL prohibits the elimination or limitation of liability of directors for breach of fiduciary duty.
Article Eighth of our certificate of incorporation provides, in general, that we shall indemnify each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of Curis), by reason of the fact that such person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of Curis, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve, at the request of Curis, as a director, officer or trustee of, or in a similar capacity with, another corporation (including any partially or wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant), partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (including any employee benefit plan), against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL. The foregoing right of indemnification is in no way exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which any such director or officer may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise.
3
In addition to the indemnification provided by our certificate of incorporation and under the DGCL, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our executive officers and directors. The indemnification agreements provide that each such person:
| · | shall be indemnified by Curis against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any litigation or other legal proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of Curis) brought against him or her by virtue of his or her position as an officer or director of Curis if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Curis, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; and |
| · | shall be indemnified by Curis against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, to the extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any action by or in the right of Curis brought against him or her by virtue of his or her position as an officer or director of Curis if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Curis, except that no indemnification shall be made with respect to any matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Curis, unless a court determines that, despite such adjudication but in view of all of the circumstances, he or she is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification of such expenses. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an officer or director has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, he or she is required to be indemnified by us against all expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defending any proceeding to the extent that we do not assume the defense of such proceeding. Expenses shall be advanced to an officer or director, provided that he or she undertakes to repay the amount advanced if it is ultimately determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification for such expenses.
Indemnification is required to be made unless we determine that the applicable standard of conduct required for indemnification has not been met. As a condition precedent to the right of indemnification, the officer or director must give us notice of the action for which indemnity is sought and we have the right to participate in such action or assume the defense thereof.
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, each selling stockholder agreed, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Curis, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who controls Curis (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in this registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements herein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling stockholder to Curis specifically for inclusion in this registration statement or amendment or supplement hereto.
We maintain a general liability insurance policy which covers certain liabilities of directors and officers of Curis arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers.

Item 17. Undertakings.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
| (a)(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"); |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this 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 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Filing Fee Tables" exhibit to the effective registration statement; and |
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
| (2) | That, for the purposes 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 the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
6
| (3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| (4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
| (i) | each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and |
| (ii) | each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;. provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
| (b) | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| (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 indemnification provisions described herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has 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. 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. |
