We have a stockholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) designed to preserve the value of certain tax assets primarily associated with our net operating losses (“NOLs”) and built in losses under Section 382. The use of such losses to offset federal income tax would be limited if we experience an “ownership change” under Section 382. This would occur if stockholders owning (or deemed under Section 382 to own) 5% or more of our stock by value increase their collective ownership of the aggregate amount of our stock by more than 50 percentage points over a defined period of time. While the Rights Plan is intended to protect our NOLs and built-in losses under Section 382, it may also have an “anti-takeover” effect of delaying or preventing beneficial takeover bids by third parties.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES</div>

We may issue debt securities in one or more distinct series. This section summarizes the material terms of the debt securities that are common to all series. Most of the financial terms and other specific material terms of any series of debt securities that we offer will be described in a prospectus supplement or term sheet to be attached to the front of this prospectus. Since the terms of specific debt securities may differ from the general information provided below, you should rely on information in the prospectus supplement or term sheet that contradicts different information below.

As required by federal law for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the debt securities are governed by a document called an “indenture.” An indenture is a contract between us and a financial institution acting as trustee on your behalf. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default. There are some limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf, described in the second paragraph under “Events of Default.” Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us.

Senior and subordinated debt securities will be issued by us under an indenture (the “indenture”), between us, as issuer, and a trustee to be named therein, as trustee (the “trustee”).

The indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). The terms “we,” “our” and “us,” when used to refer to an issuer of securities, means Aemetis, Inc.
